41、here it is .” What an honor! I turned four a month earlier and none of my friends had such a baby doll of their own. I played with it day and night. I sang to it.

42、told me that the poor little thing had been sent to a hospital. It had a fever.

43、n the living room. Id never seen him cry before. The phone rang early on Christmas morning. Dad jumped out of bed to answer it. From my bedroom I heard him say.” What? hes all right?” he hung up and shouted upstairs. “The hospital said we could bring Richard home! ” “Thank god!” I heard Mum cry.From

44、 the upstairs window, I watched my parents rush out to the car. I had never seen them so happy. And I was also full of joy. What a wonderful day! My baby doll would be home. I ran downstairs.

48、mes smaller.Because of their small size these stars burn their fuel very slowly，which allows them to live a very long time.Some red dwarf stars will live trillions of years before they run out of fuel.Then why are red dwarf stars red？Because red dwarf stars only burn a little bit of fuel at a time，t

49、hey are not very hot compared to other stars.Think of a fire.The coolest part of the fire at the top of the flame glows red，the hotter part in the middle glows yellow，and the hottest part near the fuel glows blue.Stars work the same way.Their temperatu res determine what color they will be.Thus we c

50、an determine how hot a star is just by looking at its color._Like the Sun，these medium(中等的)-sized stars are yellow because they have a medium temperature.Their higher temperature causes them to burn their fuel faster.This means they will not live as long，only about 10 billion years or so.Near the en
