Giving BackFair Way
The Westborough High School golf team had taken the official photos with the state prize．The other teams, disappointed, were on the bus heading home．And then Westborough instructor Greg Rota noticed something wrong x＞n one of the score cards．A 9 had been recorded as a 7．They were not the state prize winner; Wobum High had won．“No one would have known,” said Wobum's instructor, Bob Doran．For Rota, it wasn't a difficult decision: “The prize wasn't ours to take．”
Coin Stars
“College students are lazy, but they also want to help,” says University of Pennsylvania graduate Dana Hork．So she made it easy, placing cups in rooms where students could leave their spare coins, and handing out cups to first-year students to keep in their rooms．Her “Change for Change” effort has collected $40,000 for charities (慈善机构), which were decided upon by students．
Never Forgotten
A school in Massachusetts received a $9.5 million check from Jacques LeBermuth．But it took officials several days of digging to discover his connection to the school．Records showed the LeBermuth came from Belgium and studied in the school in the 1920s．When his family fell on hard times, he was offered free room and board．LeBermuth became a trader, owned shares of AT&T and lived off the earnings until he died, at age 89．
1．What did Greg Rota probably do in the end?
[ ]
A．Took photos of Doran．
B．Had a meeting with Doran．
C．Returned the prize to the organizer．
D．Apologized to Wobum High School．
2．Greg Rota's decision shows that he was ________．
[ ]
3．The underlined word Change in the second paragraph means ________．
[ ]
4．What did the school officials do after receiving the check from Mr．LeBermuth?
[ ]
A．They tried to find out why he gave them the money．
B．They went to Belgium to pay their respects to him．
C．They dug out the records that were buried underground．
D．They decided to offer their students free room and board．
5．Jacques LeBermuth gave the money to the school because ________．
[ ]
A．the school asked for it
B．he had no need for that much money
C．the school had helped him in the past
D．he wanted to be remembered by the students

TWO teams of astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope and other instruments have found evidence(证据)of a type of black hole that has never been seen before.
Roeland Van Der Marel of the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore said last week his group has confirmed(证实) the existence of a mid
sized black hole in a cluster (group) of stars called M15, about 32,000 light years away.
Yan Der Marel said the black hole has about 4,000 times the mass of the sun, which makes it the smallest galactic(银河的)black hole ever found.
Another group, led by Michael Rich of the University of California, Los Angeles, looked into a cluster of stars called GI and found a black hole that has about. 20,000 times the mass of the sun. It is some 2.2 million light years away.
Using the motion of stars within the clusters, the astronomers could determine the mass of the star groups and of the black holes. They found that the ratio(rate) of the mass of black holes to the mass of globular (球状的) clusters (smaller than a galaxy ) was precisely (精确地) the same as the ratio between supermassive (超质地的) black holes and galaxies. This suggests a neat, uniform(一致的) universal truth that applies the same mass ratio to black holes of all sizes everywhere, explains Karl Gebhardt of the University of Texas, a member of the G1 team.
The new discovery may help astronomers answer a basic question: Which came first. galaxies or black holes? Both theories have been proposed and finding intermediatesized(中等规模的) black holes may help answer that question.
1．The astronomers from ________ American institutes and universities discovered the black holes.
[ ]
2．Where do the black holes exist?
[ ]
A．In a cluster of stars called M15.
B．In a clusters of stars called G1
C．In clusters of stars of the galaxy.
D．Between the sun and the earth.
3．Which of the following is NOT true?
[ ]
A．The scientists determined the mass of the black holes using the motion of stars within the clusters.
B．Midsized black holes can give evidence for the answer to“Which came first, galaxies or black holes”.
C．The ratio of the mass of black holes of all sizes is the same.
D．The ratio of the mass between supermassive black holes and galaxies is larger than that between black holes to the mass of globular clusters.
4．Which is the most proper title of the article?
[ ]
A．Search for the origin of black holes
B．More black holes are discovered
C．Which came first, galaxies or black holes?
D．Search for more black holes
