We have over seven and a half million dollars in the physical buildings here at Harvard.”For a moment the lady was silent. The president was pleased. He could get rid of them now. The lady turned to her husband and said quietly. “Is that all it costs to start a university? Why dont we just start our own?” Her husband nodded.

It seems that the stars are moving all the time.Actually, there is nothing wrong with your eyes. This twinkling effect is called scintillation (交光). Scintillation happens because of air movements in the earths atmosphere (大气). Light is “bent (弯曲的)” when it travels through different parts of the earths atmosphere. As the air in the earths atmosphere is moving all the time, the light from the stars looks as if it is moving too.The same thing also happens to things on the ground. On a very hot and shiny day, if you look at the road, the image in the distance is not clear and things move slightly. You can also see the same effect if you drop a rock into water. The rock appears a little unclear under the moving water.This twinkling effect causes a lot of problems for astronomers (天文学家) since they cannot observe the stars clearly. A telescope (望远镜) was sent into space so that the air movements in the atmosphere could be avoided (避免). It took a long time to build the space telescope but finally in 1990, a huge space telescope called the Hubble Space Telescope was successfully sent into space. Since then, astronomers have many important observations that have helped people understand space better.根据短文内容，选择最佳选项。 （1）What happens to the light from the stars we see when the air in the earths atmosphere is moving?A .
