7、rse likes to be shy about its age, but astronomers believe they have a pretty good idea of the range. Currently, the most widely accepted age for the universe is around 13.8 billion years, but determining the age of. well, everything, is no easy feat (功绩). Now, new studies have investigated the ques
8、tion using different methodsand theyve come up with two different answers, separated by more than a billion years.Because the universe is expanding at an accelerating pace, the further away an object is, the faster it appears to be moving away from us. This is expressed as theHubble constant (哈勃常数),
9、 and its a key factor in figuring out the age of the universe. After all, if we can determine how fast objects are moving away from us, we can rewind that process to its beginningthe Big Bang. Researchers from the University of Oregon set out to map the distance to dozens of galaxies. The team calcu
10、lated that the universe is only 12.6 billion years oldthat, you might notice, is much younger than the 13.8 billion years usually stated.In the second study, the method of figuring out the age of the universe is by mapping the oldest light we can detect. “We are restoring the baby photo of the unive
11、rse to its original condition, removing the wear and tear of time and space that distorted (扭曲) the image,” says Neelima Sehgal, a co-author on the study. “Only by seeing this sharper baby photo or image of the universe, can we more fully understand how our universe was born.” In doing so, the resea
12、rchers determined that the universe is 13.8 billion years oldin agreement with the accepted age.The real problem though, is that the studies disagree so wildly with each other, to the tune of a billion years. But theyre not the only onesthe battle lines are commonly drawn by the methods used. Obviou
13、sly, more research is needed to determine where the truth lies.24. What do we know about the universe from the first two paragraphs? A. It doesnt exist long.B. It becomes larger. C. It runs away.D. It causes the Big Bang.25. What makes the researchers in the first study think the universe is much yo
14、unger? A. The speed of moving objects.B. The number of galaxies. C. The process of the universe evolution.D. The distance to other objects.26. How does Neelima Sehgal explain their method in the second study? A. By referring to a similar thing.B. By using hard scientific data. C. By introducing a ne
15、w concept.D. By quoting an experts words.27. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. Whose method is better? B. Which result can you believe? C. How old is the universe?D. Why is the universe so old?CDid you know that the average child has heard the word “no” over 20,000 times before they tur
16、n the age of three? Ironically, it is also around this time that children begin to develop enough personal character to refuse to obey. The “terrible twos” are categorized by a lack of understanding. Somewhere between three and four, children begin to acquire the skills to reason. It is during this
17、time they watch how other children and adults reason. If were not careful, the children will watch us model a world of “NOs”.By the time a person turns eighteen, how many times have they been told no? I havent found any studies that even attempted to track this statistic, but Im sure if the number i
18、s 20,000 by three, then at eighteen that number has multiplied. You can do the math.Anyway, I think I know why we say no. We say no to protect. We say no to direct. We say no to stop potential confusion. However, do we sometimes say no just for the sake of saying no? Do we say no because we have int
19、ernalized (内在化) all of the “NOs” weve heard over the years and we feel it is finally our time to say no to someone else?The internalized no can damage the growth process of dreams in infancy as quickly as it can weaken a three-year-old. And we wonder why we run into people with big, un-accomplished
20、dreams who have a bit of a chip on their shoulder. They have to take on the 20,000 NOs. However, the thing that keeps them going is the possibility of the power of ONE YES! Just as it only takes one book to make a writer a Pulitzer Prize Winner, it only takes one word to change the course of your da
21、y. That word is YES!28. What do we know about two-year-olds? A. They understand well.B. They often say no to others. C. They think logically.D. They dont do all theyre told.29. What effect does saying no have on children? A. They lose all their dreams. B. They arent easy to succeed. C. They dont mak

A how-to guide.B. A survey report.C. An opinion essay.D. A short story. DIm Jeff Logan, president of Loga
23、n Luxury Theaters Corporation. Im very sorry to tell you many cinemas are at risk of closing permanently (永久).

24、l have fond memories of going to a theater of our first dates or the first movie we saw with our children. A movie theater is so important to the fabric of the local community. Its a place where we all gather, no matter what our interests, and no matter what our ages, young and old, rich and poor.Bu
25、t how much longer will classic theaters remain open? Just like other industries, movie theaters have been hit hard by the pandemic (流行病) and are going dark. The entire industry is being controlled by the pandemic, because the studios dont want to release their new movies until all the theaters can b
26、e open.

However, like many theaters, it is only operating at about 10 percent capacity. Since

Staff spray the theater with disinfectant (消毒剂) after every show. And sanitizer stations can be found throughout the theater.Even so, some p
28、eople still arent comfortable going to a movie theater yet. I fully understand that.
