The neighbour was deeply hurt. Later the woman responsible (负责) for spreading the gossip learned that it was completely untrue. She was very sorry and went to a wise old man to find out what she could do to repair the harm.“Go to the marketplace,” he said. “and buy a chicken, and have it killed, then on your way home, pluck (拔) its feathers and drop them one by one along the road. ” Although surprised by this advice, the woman did what she was told.The next day the wise man said, “ Now, go and collect all those feathers you dropped yesterday and bring them back to me. ”The woman followed the same road, but she was so discouraged when she found the wind had blown all the feathers away. After searching for hours, she returned with only three in her hand.“ You see, ” said the old man, “its easy to drop them, but its impossible to get them back . So it is with gossip.

Like the planets, they go around the sun.But comets are not made of solid rocks like planets. A comet is a ball of dust, stones, and ice. Many people call comets dirty snowballs.The snowballmay be only a few miles across. But when the sun heats the snowball,much of it is changed to gases. The gases spread out and form the comets head, which may be thousands of miles across.A comet moves fast in its trip around the sun. But when we see it, the comet does not seem to move. Thats because it is so far away. The moon moves fast, but when you look at it, you cant see any motion(运动). Thats because the moon is far away.Each year astronomers(天文学家) discover new comets. Some of them are seen only once. They make one trip around the sun and then go away out into space. The suns gravity cannot hold them.Other comets, like Halley, keep returning. They have been captured by the sun. Halleys earliest visit was probably 3,000 years ago. It may keep returning for another 3,000 years.But every time a comet goes around the sun, the comet loses part of itself. Gases and dust are pulled out of the comet. Thats why Halley is now dimmer（暗淡的） than it used to be. Next time it visits us, in 2062, it may be even dimmer. Each visit it may get dimmer and dimmer, until it finally disappears.（1）What is this passage mostly about?A . Comets and the sun.B . Why comets are like snowballs.C . Who discovered the first comet.D . Facts about comets.（2）How does the writer help the reader understand what a comet looks like?A . By telling about a famous one.B . By explaining how far away it is.C . By describing how fast it moves.D . By describing it as a dirty snowball.（3）What is the most likely reason the writer wrote this passage?A . To give information about comets.B . To tell readers about famous comets.C . To explain the importance of comets.D . To encourage readers to look for comets.9. （6分）根据短文理解, 选择正确答案。 These days, more and more young people wish to be more beautiful, so they turn to plastic surgery(整形手术) for help. They spend thousands of yuan on these painful surgeries to fix(修整) their nose to change their eyelids(眼皮) or to take off weight from their stomachs.In fact, most people are not pleased with the way they look. Even the most beautiful actresses often wish they could change something about their looks. Should we live our whole lives believing we are ugly?

And a kind heart is much more beautiful than a pretty look.So, lets feel grateful(感激的) that we all have beautiful and healthy bodies that do not need surgeries!
