Photographed every day for the past six months by Manhattan artist Sally Davies, the kids meal of fries and burger hasnt any signs of mould(霉菌) or decay(腐烂).Sally put the Happy Meal on a shelf in her apartment and watched it with increasing shock. Even her dogs stopped trying to steal a free tasty snack.“I bought the meal on April 10 this year and brought home to see how it changed,” she said. “I chose McDonalds because it was nearest to my house, but the project could have been about any other fast food. The first thing that shocked me on the second day of the experiment was that it no longer gave out any smell. And my dogs stopped circling the shelf.”Sally expected the food to go mouldy after a few days. In fact, Mrs. Davies surprise turned to shock as the food still had not shown any signs of decay after two weeks. “It was then that I realized that something strange might be going on with this food that I had bought,” she explained. “The appearance of the food did not change as the weeks turned to months. And now, at six months old, the food is plastic to touch. The only change that I can see is that it has bee as hard as a rock.”The experiment has brought her amusement rather than fear. “Maybe I would be frightened at seeing this if I were a meat eater.” she said.24.

Ecuador，the smallest country in South America，is named after the Equator (赤道)，the imaginary line around the Earth that divides the country into two. Most of the country is in the Southern Hemisphere(半球)Ecuador is about the size of Colorado and is bordered by the South American countries Colombia and Peru. The Galapagos Islands, 5 96 miles west of the mainland of Ecuador，are part of Ecuador and are home to many unique birds and plants. The Costa, or coastal plain region, is where many of the worlds bananas are grown. The Sierra is also made up of farmland. The Oriente is east of the Andes and is rich in oil.Ecuador is considered to be one of the most diverse(多样的) areas of the world. There are some 25,000 plant species and over 1,600 known bird species. Ecuador has nine national parks，including the Galapagos Islands. These 18 islands are home to some of the most amazing creatures. This is where Charles Darwin noticed the diversity of species and began to study evolution.Ecuador was part of the Inca Empire until the Spanish arrived and claimed the country as a Spanish colony. For three hundred years the Spanish controlled Ecuador. In 1822，Ecuador became independent of Spain.About 10 percent of Ecuadors population is of European origin.

Like our sun, stars are unbelievably hot furnaces(熔炉) that burn their own matter as fuel. When most of the fuel is used up, the star begins to die.The death of a star is not a quiet event. First there is a huge explosion. As its outer layer is blasted off into space, the dying star shines as brightly as a billion suns.After the explosion, gravity pulls in whats left of the star. As the outside of the star sinks toward the center, the star gets smaller and smaller. The material the star is made of bees tightly packed together. A star is so solid that a teaspoon of matter from it weighs billion of pounds.The more the star shrinks(收缩), the stronger the gravity inside it bees. Soon the star is very tiny, and the gravity pulling it in is unbelievably strong. In fact, the gravity is so strong that it even pulls light into the star! Since all the light is pulled in, none can go out. The star bees black when there is no light. Then a black hole is born!Thats what we know about black holes. What we dont know is this: What happens inside a black hole after the star has been squeezed into a tiny ball? Does it keep getting smaller and smaller forever? Such a possibility is hard to imagine.But if the black hole doesnt keep shrinking, what happens to it? Some scientists think black holes are like doorways to another world. They say that as the star disappears from our universe, it goes into another universe. In other words a black hole in our universe could turn into a white hole in a different universe. As the black hole swallows(吞噬) light, the white hole shines brightly-somewhere else. But where? A different place, perhaps, or a different time-many years in the past or future.Could you travel through a black hole? Right now, no. Nothing we know of could go into a black hole without being crushed(挤压). So far the time being, black hole must remain a mystery.Black holes are a mystery-but that hasnt stopped scientists from dreaming about them. One scientist suggested that in the future we might make use of the power of black holes. They would supply all of Earths energy need s, with plenty to spare. Another scientist wondered if a black hole could some day be used to swallow earthly waste-a sort of huge waste disposal(处理) in the sky!32. When the star begins to die _.A. there is no fuel left in itB. a huge explosion will happen C. its outer layer goes into space firstD. it doesnt give off light any longer33. Which of the following doesnt help produce a black hole?A. The dying star shines very brightly.B. The light cant go out of the star.C. The star bees smaller and smallerD. The gravity inside the star is very strong.34. The black hole _.A. continues being smaller and smaller all the timeB. goes into another universe and bees a white holeC. will appear at another place at a different timeD. can pull in everything we know of in the world35. Whats the best title for this passage?A. A New Scientific Discovery: Black Holes B. What Are Black Holes?C. What Are Black Holes? How Do Black Holes e Into Being?D.
