Edmund Halley was an English scientist who lived over 200 years ago. He studied the observations of comets (彗星) which other scientists had made. The orbit of one particular comet was a very difficult mathematical problem. He could not figure it out. Neither could other scientists who dealt with such problems. However, Halley had a friend named Newton, who was a brilliant (有才华的) mathematician. Newton thought he had already worked out that problem, but he could not find the papers on which he had done it. He told Halley that the orbit of a comet had the shape of an ellipse (椭圆) .
Now Halley set to work. He figured out the orbits of some of the comets that had been observed by scientists. He made a surprising discovery. The comets that had appeared in the years 1531, 1607, and 1682 all had the same orbit. Yet their appearances had been 75 to 76 years apart (相隔).
This seemed very strange to Halley. The different comets followed the same orbit. The more Halley thought about it, the more he thought that there had not been three different comets, as people thought. He decided that they had simply seen the same comet three times. The comet had gone away and had come back again.
9
It was an astonishing idea! Halley felt certain enough to make a prediction of what would happen in the future. He decided that this comet would appear in the year 1758. There were 53 years to go before Halley’s prediction could be tested.
In 1758 the comet appeared in the sky. Halley did not see it, for he had died some years before. Ever since then that comet has been called Halley’s comet, in his honor.
51. Edmund Halley figured out the orbit of ______.
A. some different comets appearing several times
B. three different comets appearing three times
C. the same comet appearing at different times
D. several comets appearing at the same time
52. Halley made his discovery______.
A. by doing experiments B. by means of his own careful observation
C. by using the work of other scientists D. by chance
53. Halley made a surprising, but correct prediction in the year ______.
A. 1707 B. 1706 C. 1705 D. 1704
54. This passage in general is about ______.
A. Halley and other scientists B. The orbit of a comet
C. Newton and Halley D. Halley and his discovery
55. According to the passage, which of the flowing is NOT true ?
A. Halley figured out the orbit of the comet first.
B. Newton figured out the orbit of the comet.
C. Newton gave Halley some help. D. Halley died before 1758

At two o’clock a bank robber stole in. “This is a holdup,” the man said rudely. He took a gun from under his jacket, pointing to George. “Hand it over!” George reached into his money-box and took all the bills from the top part—close to six thousand dollars.

When it comes to your skin, there is an important fact that you must keep in mind: Your skin is the largest organ of your body. Therefore, skin health and protection is important. Your skin does everything for you. It can keep your body hydrated (含水的) and regulate your body’s temperature.
Now, here are some helpful tips for you to protect your skin:
62.__________
Protection against harmful rays from the sun is one of the most important steps that you need to take. With this in mind it is necessary for you to avoid strong sunlight as often as possible. As for sunscreen you need to buy products that contain UVA-1, UVA-2 and UVB protection.
63__________
Your diet also has a direct impact on the health of your skin. The most important aspect of your diet in relation to the health of your skin is to make certain that you eat a proper amount of food items that contain the proteins and nutrients necessary for cellular maintenance, repair and regeneration.
64.__________
Water is also important to the health of your skin. While you certainly have heard it before, it actually is true that you should drink at least eight 8-ounce glasses of fresh water every day. There are many health benefits to be derived from drinking water daily, including maintaining healthy skin.
65__________
Finally, when it comes to the health of your skin today and into the future you should avoid smoking all together. In addition, you should drink alcohol only in moderation. Both smoking and excessive alcohol consumption can negatively impact the health of your skin in significant ways.

When you get home from school, go over your notes. Review the important points that your teacher mentions(提到) and you will remember them longer. Develop a good attitude about tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. Tests do more than just provide grades; they let you know what you need to study more, and they help to make your new knowledge permanent(永久的).

Last summer I had a unusual experience. It was raining hardly. Because of this the river near my town raised and flooded some of the rice fields. The villagers, included me, went to the dam to make them strong. The soldiers also come to help us. We fought for three days. At last the dam saved and our village was protected from the flood. Though I became very tired after I returned home, but I was very happy. I learned many from the villagers and the soldier. Now we are looking forward to have a stronger dam.
