9、ntly, great scientists around the world were able to create a real picture of a black hole. The black hole named Powehi is about 55 million light years from Earth.

10、we are looking into the past.

17、, started going to the east. When spring came, they found a lake in a wide valley. Through the water the gold showed like yellow butter, and here their search ended. They worked every day, filling bag after bag with gold.Buck spent many evenings sitting by the fire. He always heard something calling

18、 him into the forest. The call of the wild reminded him of the wolf who had run beside him.“Hes the finest dog that Ive ever seen,” said Thornton to his friends one day as they watched Buck walking out of camp.“Therell never be another dog like him,” said Pete.In autumn, Buck started to see moose (麋

19、鹿) in the forest. One day he met a group of about twenty. The largest was two meters tall. When the moose saw Buck, it got very angry. For hours Buck followed the moose; he wanted the big one, but he wanted it alone. By the evening Buck had driven the big old moose away from the others, and then he

20、began his attack. The animal weighed six hundred and fifty kilos - it was big enough and strong enough to kill Buck in seconds. Buck followed it for four days, attacking and then jumping away. He gave it no peace, no time to eat or drink or rest, and slowly the moose became weaker. At the end of the

23、the hero fights against the villain (反弹) - and you doubt whether success is possible. Then, the hero wins and you realize youve been holding your breath all the time. Superhero movies come out every year. Avengers: Endgame was so popular that tickets for the first week were sold out quickly. Why do

24、we never get tired of watching these movies?Superhuman abilities, alien worlds, and strange situations are features of our favorite superhero (超级英雄) movies. Yet these characteristics are absent from our real life. The great difference between these movies and our daily life allows us to separate one

25、 from the other. When our real life becomes too hard for us to face, we can get away into the world of superheroes.Superheroes are those who have super powers and are brave enough to sacrifice (牺牲) themselves. This kind of courage is often translated on screen as superheroes using their abilities to

26、 protect humans. This is another reason why we love them. We are born to be attracted to people who protect weaker ones.In recent movies, superheroes with amazing abilities also experience very human moments like losing loved ones. As a result, we see part of ourselves in these characters and they h

27、elp us face challenges like them.The last reason why superhero movies are so popular today is money. These movies make a great deal of money. This win-win situation drives a lot of filmmakers to keep making the films.Over the past few years, superheroes have turned from comic-book characters to movi

31、will still be popular for some time.DThere are about 7,000 languages spoken around the world. All the languages are different from one another in sounds, vocabularies and also structures. That leads to an ancient question: Does the language we speak shape the way we think Charlemagne, Holy Roman emp

32、eror, said, “To have a second language is to have a second mind.” However, Shakespeare once had Juliet say, “Whats in a name A rose by any other name would smell just sweet.”Recently, researches have been done to answer this question. Kuuk Thaayoorre people in Australia dont use words like “left” an

33、d “right”. Instead, everything is in directions: north, south, east and west. They would say, “Oh, theres an ant on your southwest leg.” The way they say “hello” is “Which way are you going?” The answer would be “North-northeast in the far distance. How about you?” People speaking languages like thi

34、s can always tell directions correctly.Language makes a difference in how people think about time. In a research, people speaking different languages are asked to organize pictures of a man in time order. An English speaker may organize pictures from left to right. But speakers of Hebrew (希伯来语) may

35、do it in the opposite direction. This has something to do with writing direction. How would the Kuuk Thaayoorre people organize these pictures For them, the order of pictures changes every time they face different directions.Languages also influence how people describe events. If a man broke a plate

36、 by accident, English speakers may say, “He broke the plate.” People speaking Spanish (西班牙语) are more likely to say, “The plate broke itself.” This difference has a consequence that makes people speaking different languages pay attention to different things. In this example, English speakers will re

37、member who did it, but Spanish speakers are more likely to remember it was an accident. Two people see the same event but end up remembering different details about the scene.Speakers of different languages think differently. You could ask yourself, “Why do I think the way I do” or “How could I thin
