telescope，called Gaia，is being designed by astronomers in Europe，and it couldnt be more different from PanSTARRS，which is another telescope being designed.While PanSTARRS will be looking for asteroids (小行星) and ets headed for Earth，Gaia will be looking at our entire galaxy (银河系).Gaia is designed to draw a map of the Milky Way，our home galaxy.Just as a map of your town gives you a picture of where things are located，Gaias map of the galaxy will tell astronomers where the stars are.Over five years，Gaia will observe (观察) about a billion stars and other objects in our galaxy.Each object will be observed about 70 times.Gaia will be sent into space connected to a rocket.It contains two telescopes，each focused at a different angle (角度)These two telescopes act like Gaias “eyes”The reason why humans can see things in 3D is that we have two eyes focused on the same object，at slightly different angles.By using two telescopes like eyes，Gaia can produce the first 3D map of the positions of the stars it views.Gaia，which is to be sent into space in 2011，will be a powerful telescope.If you were to use it on Earth，for example，you could stand 600 miles away from your best friends and still get a clear picture of their hair.Gaia is one of more than a dozen telescopes being designed by scientists right now.The next generation of telescopes will reveal new parts of our universe that will seem surprising.The universe，with all its planets，stars and other strange objects，is a puzzle with pieces that we can see by using powerful telescopes.【语篇解读】文章介绍威力强大的望远镜Gaia，并告诉人们新一代望远镜将比旧的更加强大。8How many

a teenager is like fighting a long war，but years go by without any clear winner.Like a border conflict(冲突) between neighboring countries，the parentteen war is about boundaries(边界)：Where is the line between what I control and what you do?Both sides want peace，but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict.In part，this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it.From the parents point of view，the only cause of their fight is their adolescents plete unreasonableness.And of course，the teens see it in exactly the same way，except oppositely.Both feel trapped.In this article，Ill describe three nowin situations that monly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap.The first nowin situation is quarrel on unimportant things.Examples include the color of the teens hair，the cleanness of the bedroom，the preferred style of clothing，the childs failure to eat a good breakfast before school，or his tendency to sleep until
