The wide use of artificial lights*(灯) is making the nighttime on the earth increasingly brighter (更明亮的)*.That worries some people.They say that artificial light can influence* (影响)birds, make plants have long growing periods, and stop people from connecting to stars. What's more,they say,all that wasted light sent out into space is wasted money.

Here are some findings from a new study*(研究) in the journal called Science Advances.The study used five years of data*(数据) from a satellite(人造造明)*.This satellite offered a great way to measure*(测量) nighttime light.

With new lighting science,some areas have started using LEDs.And because this satellite is

not able to see all of the light from LEDs,Scientist Kyba says the brightening in real life is

probably greater than what has been measured. “For the United States,for example,we don't see

much of a change.But we know that a lot of LEDs are used. And that means that the United States

is certainly getting brighter, to the eyes of people on Earth.” Kyba says.

It is said that energy-saving*(节能的) LEDs will reduce*(减少) the cost of lighting. “But as lighting gets cheaper,we use more of it. In fact,the number of LEDs is growing very fast,”Kyba says.“All across the world,all this wanted light is expensive. It costs a lot of money to produce that light and it's not doing anybody any good. “He and others say that we should be working to reduce the amount* (数量)of light going out into space while still offering a safe and comfortable experience for people on the ground at night.

6.Which of the following will artificial lights NOT influence?

A. The night sky.     B.Some animals.     C.Some plants.     D.Some stars.

7 The scientists get the findings in the study by________.

A. inventing LEDs    B.measuring light   C.reading science books   D.connecting to stars

8 In Paragraph 3, by giving the example of the USA,the writer wants to tell that______.

A. night lighting doesn't influence satellites

B.people are not able to measure all lightning at night

C. the USA is trying its best to reduce night lighting

D. the USA is the brightest place on the earth at night

9.According to Scientist Kyba,________.

A. LEDs need to be more energy-saving

B. we should use more LEDs than we have now

C.energy-saving LEDs make people use them more

D.LEDs make people's eyes feel uncomfortable at night

10 The writer wrote this passage to________.

A.teach people how to reduce light pollution

B.tell people not to use energy-saving LEDs

C. show a new way to measure nighttime light

D. warn people of the danger of light pollution

For his eleventh birthday, Lin was given a gift that would shape his life.On that day, his father took him to the Children's Activity Centre and said he could choose any course that interested him. There was just one requirement(条件)*:Lin would have to promise to study it for at least one year.

To that point Lin had had many hobbies, but none kept his interest for more than a week or two. His mum once gave him a bag of stamps to encourage stamp collecting. That hobby lasted a week. Then his father got him some paints hoping that Lin's artistic side would shine through. Those paints were now under his bed,still unopened. This time Lin's parents would let him decide.

Lin's eyes moved down the notice board that listed all the courses on offer.He stopped at＂Photography". He liked the idea of taking beautiful pictures but the notice said that each student

needed their own camera.Although Lin's family wasn't poor, they weren't rich either, and a camera cost a lot of money.He continued looking.

The next course to catch his eye was “Language Art". He didn't even know what that meant.

His father explained that it taught people how to make public speeches. Lin, a shy boy,could think

of nothing worse.

Then he saw it."Cooking" sounded like something he'd like to do. It was inexpensive and

convenient. It could be done alone and it was also creative.

Based on Lin's hobby history, his dad had doubts, but he agreed. Much to his parents' surprise,Lin kept his promise.He studied cooking at the Centre every Saturday and practised at home,making delicious meals for his family. Everyone looked forward to birthdays, when they could eat his cake. Lin got great satisfaction from the pleasure his food brought to others.

The months turned to years but his hobby never changed again.

Now Lin is an adult and runs a big restaurant. When customers say they enjoy his meal,he still gets the same pleasure he had as a child, and remembers the unusual present he received all those years ago.

11.What was Lin's father's requirement for the course?

A. It doesn't cost much.                  B.Lin was interested in it.

C.It could make Lin more confident.

D. Lin must study it for at least one year.

12.Why didn't Lin choose to study photography?

A. His parents didn't agree.               B.He had no interest in photography.

C.He was not very creative.               D.He didn't want to pay for a camera.

13 The underlined words "catch his eye" in Paragraph 4 means“________”.

A. get his attention   B.give him a surprise   C.make him excited     D.help him see clearly

14 What's the best title for the passage?

A.A Strict Father                  B.A Special Gift

C.The Fun of Cooking              D.A Changeable Boy

15 What can we learn from Lin's story?(请用 30-50词回答）
