A black hole in the universe is not a solid object, like a planet, but it is shaped like a sphere (球体).Astronomers(天文学家)think that at the center of a black hole there is a single point in space with infinite(无限的)density(稠密).This single point is called a singularity (奇点).If the singularity theory is correct, it means that when a massive star collapses, all the material in it disappears into the singularity. The center of a black hole would not really be a hole at all, but an infinitely dense point. Anything that crosses the black hole is pulled in by its great gravity.Although black holes do exist, they are difficult to observe. These are the reasons. No light or anything else comes out of black holes. As a result, they are invisible to a telescope. In astronomical terms, black holes are truly. For example, a black hole formed by the collapse of a giant star would have an event horizon(视界)only 18 miles across. The nearest black holes would be dozens of light years away from Earth. One light year is about 6 trillion(万亿)miles. Even the most powerful telescopes could not pick out an object so small at such a great distance.In 1994 the Hubble Space Telescope provided evidence that black holes exist. There are still answers to be found, however, so black holes remain one of the mysteries of the universe.16. Black holes are part of space.A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned17.

He slapped his hand down on the table. “When Ive finished in two hours time, your work will be far more effective and productive. Anyone not interested, leave now.” The entire room sat still.2 Robinson calls himself the Mind Magician (魔术师).He specializes in doing magic tricks that look totally impossible, and then he reveals that they involve nothing more mysterious than good old-fashioned trickery (骗术).“I have always been interested in tricks involving memory-being able to reel off (一口气说出) the order of cards in a pack, that sort of thing,” he explains.3 Robinson was already lecturing to schools on his magic techniques when it struck him that students might find memory techniques even more valuable. “It wasnt difficult area to move into, as the stuffs all there in books.” So he summarized everything to
