in bethlehem,pennsylvania.we had heard in school about a planet called pluto.it was the farthest,coldest,and darkest thing a child could imagine.we guessed how long it would take to die if we stood on the surface of such a frozen place wearing only the clothes we had on.we tried to figure out how much colder pluto was than the antarctic,or than the coldest day we had ever experienced in pennsylvania.pluto,which famously was downgraded from a “major planet” to a “dwarf planet”(矮行星)in 2006,captured our imagination because it was a mystery that could complete our picture of what it was like at the most remote corners of our solar system.plutos underdog discovery story is part of what makes it so attractive.clyde tombaugh was a kansas farm boy who built telescopes out of spare auto parts,old farm equipment and self-ground lenses.as an assistant at lowell observatory in flagstaff,arizona,tombaughs task was to search millions of stars for a moving point of light,a planet that the observatorys founder thought existed beyond the orbit of neptune.on february 18,1930,tombaugh found it.pluto was the first planet discovered by an american,and represented a moment of light in the midst of the great depressions dark encroachment (入侵).pluto is much more than something that is not a planet.its a reminder that there are many worlds out there beyond our own and that the sky isnt the limit at all.we dont know what kinds of fantastic variations on a theme nature is capable of making until we get there to look.1.why did pluto become famous in 2006 according to the passage?a.because it disappeared in the sky.b.because it lost its major planet status.c.because it was discovered by an american.d.because it was proved to be the coldest planet in the universe.2.what can be a suitable title for the text?a.plutos romanceb.pluto was first discovered by a boyc.an american scientist:clyde tombaughd.the days i spent with my brother in pennsylvania3.what can we learn from the fourth paragraph?a.clyde tombaugh discovered the darkness in the great depression.b.pluto was the only planet that was discovered by clyde tombaugh.c.clyde tombaughs telescopes used for searching stars were very simple.d.clyde tombaughs job was to build telescopes for lowell observatory.4.the underlined sentence in the last paragraph is most likely to mean .a.pluto is no less than a planet in the solar systemb.pluto is much more than a planet in the solar systemc.pluto is more important than any other planet in the skyd.pluto is not a planet in the solar system,but it is more

jama pediatrics in 2014,which found that kids who played violent video games showed an increase in aggressive thoughts and behaviours.2but not all studies agree that violent games cause kids to act out.another study replaced violent deaths with evaporation(蒸发) in a game.3people who played the non-violent game without any training were more aggressive afterward than people who played the violent version but learned to control themselves first.and heres an even stranger fact:when violent video games are released,people carry out fewer violent crimes!why?4steve levitt,coauthor of the book
