Most of the island is rainforest. It's very beautiful. There is a hotel right on the beach and it is the only place to stay. It has 147 rooms. But it doesn't look as big as it sounds, because most of the rooms are in small buildings.

25、   In many stories on TV and in science fiction, humans can travel to stars far away. But so far, people have only been able to get to the moon.

What if a person wants to get to a star far away? It would take a lifetime to travel. People should have to move at least at the speed(速度) of light. But in fact, nothing can move faster than light.

Light travels more than 186,000 miles a second(秒), or about 11 million miles a minute. In one year, light travels about 6 trillion (6,000,000,000,000) miles. That great distance is called a light-year (光年). It is used to measure(测量) distance in space.

Strange things happen to an object(物体) when it moves very fast. If an object moves at 86% of the speed of light, it will be twice as heavy as it is at rest. A stick appears shorter. A clock runs more slowly. A person would not age so fast in space as on the earth.

Alpha Centauri is the closest star to the sun. It is over four light-years away. So if a human traveled at the speed of light, it would take him nine years to go to Alpha Centauri and come back.

【1】About the speed of light, which of the following is true?

A.Light travels about 11 million miles a second. B.Light travels more than 186,000 miles a minute.

C.Light travels about 11 million miles an hour. D.Light travels about 6 trillion miles a year.

【2】So far the farthest place humans have got to is .

A.Alpha Centauri B.the sun C.the moon D.the earth

【3】The underlined word "age" means .

A.老年 B.变老 C.年龄 D.时代

【4】It would take a person to get to Alpha Centauri at the speed of light.

A.more than 4 years B.less than 2 years C.about 9 years D.about 11 years

【5】What's the best title(标题) of this article?

A.The Distance Between the Sun and Other Stars B.How to Travel to Alpha Centauri

C.Nothing Can Move Faster Than Light D.Life Is Too Short

26、We can see walls everywhere in the world .But the Great Wall of China is the biggest of all . The Chinese call it “ The Ten—Thousand—Li Great Wall”. It is in fact more than 6,000 kilometers long. It is 4-5 meters wide. In most places, five horses or ten men can walk side by side.
