27、of the charm of their hometown. We met many beautiful souls, simple souls and warm souls. We were walking with our minds. Together, we were impressed by the biodiversity of the Gaoligong Mountains. As I walked on ancient paths through mountains, I seemed to hear the antique（古老的）voices of past travel

28、ers urging me to be careful on the road. Looking back on the more than 200 miles I walked with Paul, I came to a realization. Walking for its own sake. while healthy and admirable, is only a small part of the benefit of moving with our feet. A deeper reward is rediscovering the world around us. shor

This era（时代）is no different than any other. There has always been a crisis of attention. Think about life long ago: people in ancient India or

40、ur new planets in distant space about 200-light-years from Earth, making them “the youngest astronomers” to make such a discovery. Kartik Pingle, 16, and Jasmine Wright. 18, who both attend schools in Massachusetts, participated in the Student Research Mentoring Program (SRMP). With the help of Tans

41、u Daylan, an MIT doctor for Astrophysics and Space Research, the students studied and analyzed data from the Transiting Exoplanct Survey Satellite (TESS). Together they focused on Tess Object of Interest (TOI) 1233, a nearby, bright sun-like star and here they found four planets rotating（旋转）around t

42、he star. “We were looking to see changes in light over time,” Pingle explained, “the idea is that if the planet transits the star, or passes in front of it, it would periodically cover up the star and decrease its brightness.”While studying 1233, Pingle and Wright had at least hoped to find one plan

43、et but were overwhelmed with joy when a total of four were spotted. “I was very excited and very shocked.” Wright said. “We knew this was the goal of Daylans research, but to actually find a multi-planetary system, and be part of the discovering team, was really cool.” Three of the newly discovered

44、planets are considered as “sub-Neptunes”, which are gaseous, but smaller than the Neptune that lives in our solar system. While observing the planets, the team determined each one completes their orbit around 1233 every six to 19.5 days. However, the fourth planet is called a “super-Earth” for its l

They are really blessed.” Daylan said. “The planets originated from t

46、he same disk of matter around the same star, but they ended up being different planets with different atmospheres and different climates due to their different orbits. So, we would like to understand the basic processes of planet formation and evolution using this planetary system.”Daylan added that

47、 it was a “win-win” to work with Pingle and Wright on the study. “As a researcher, I really enjoy interacting with young brains that are open to experimentation and learning and have slightest bias（偏见）.”he said, “I also think it is very beneficial to high school students, since they get exposure to

48、cutting-edge research, and this prepares them quickly for a research career.”47. How did the two students identify the four planets？A. By helping professor Tansu Daylan with the data. B. By analyzing the change of brightness of star 1233. C. By studying Neptune that lives in our solar system. D. By

49、interacting with other young talented brains. 48. What is special about the discovery？A. It was made by two high school students. B. It was made with an innovative approach. C.
