Edmund Halley was an English scientist who lived over 200 years ago. He studied the observations of comets ( 彗星

) which other scientists had made. The orbit of one particular comet was a very difficult mathematical ( 数学

) problem. He could not figure it out. Neither could other scientists who dealt with such problems.

However, Halley had a friend named Newton, who was a brilliant mathematician. Newton thought he had already worked out that problem, but he could not find the papers on which he had done it. He told Halley that the orbit of a comet had the shape of an ellipse ( 椭圆

) .

Now Halley set to work. He figured out ( 解决; 计算出

) the orbits of some of the comets that had been observed by scientists. He made a surprising discovery. The comets that had appeared in the years 1531, 1607, and 1682 all had the same orbit. Yet their appearances had been 75 to 76 years apart.

This seemed very strange to Halley. The different comets followed the same orbit. The more Halley thought about it, the more he thought that there had not been three different comets, as people thought. He decided that they had simply seen the same comet three times. The comet had gone away and had come back again.

It was an astonishing idea! Halley felt certain enough to make a prediction ( 预言

) of what comet would happen in the future. He decided that this comet would appear in the year 1758. There were 53 years to go before Halley’s prediction could be tested. In 1758 the comet appeared in the sky. Halley did not see it, for he has died some years before. Ever since then that comet has been called Halley’s comet, in his honor.

15. Halley made his discovery

.

A. by doing experiments B. by means of his own careful observation C. by using the work of other scientists D. by chance 16. Halley made a surprising, but correct prediction in the year

.

A. 1704

B. 1705

C. 1706

D. 1707 17. This passage in general is about

A. Edmund Halley was an American scientist.

B. Halley made his discovery by doing experiments.

C. Newton was a famous mathematician.

3 D. The orbit of a comet had the shape of a circle.

I am always very interested in the traveling. My reasons are quite simply and clear. If someone is not satisfied with my opinion, I shall be greatly surprising at his way of thinking. On the one hand, traveling increase our knowledge of the world. Only by travel can we visit local places of interest, listen to the story about the places and have a taste of different local foods. On the other hand, traveling is very good to our health. While we are traveling, we can breathe fresh air or exercise our bodies as well. Usually, people are often traveling are in good health. In a word, I sincerely hope everybody will grasp as much opportunities as possible to travel.
