Searching the skies

For thousands of years,scientists have wondered about the spots of light in the night sky .In A.D.125,Ptolemy,a Greek astronomer living in Egypt,claimed that the planets and the sun moved around Earth. (11) other astronomers had different ideas, Ptolemy's theory was held for almost15.00years

In the 1540s,the Polish astronomer Nicholas Copernicus published many books,one (12) explained how Earth and the other planets orbit the sun. In the early 1600s.Galileo proved that Copernicus was right. Galileo made his observations by (13) (use) a telescope (望远镜)。 He was the first astronomer to use one.

Today, astronomers use telescopes that are much (14) (powerful) than Galileo's. In 1990,the Hubble Space Telescope began orbit Earth .the Hubble telescope studies some rays from distant stars and galaxies (银河系), These are the rays that never reach Earth, because they

(15) (stop) by Earth's atmosphere .The Hubble telescope has found evidence of a black hole-a(16) (fill) star that takes in all matter the come s near (17) .The Hubble telescope has also sent back information a bout some very young stars.

d mor

e than you need.

The Teeth-Heart Connection

You've probably heard the list of factors that put you at risk fo

r heart disease: smoking, poor diet, lack of exercise and so on. Bu t did you know that the health of your gums (牙龈)may also 21 you

r probability of developing heart disease?

More than 120 studies have looked into the possible22 between gu

m disease and heart disease.Most of them say that gum disease i

s a risk factor for heart disease.This means that people with gum di sease often develop heart disease but that gum disease doesn't 23 cau se heart disease.

Doctors and scientists have offered a number of possible reasons fo r this connection.One common factor is inflammation (炎症),which occur s when the body senses a danger and sends white blood cells to 2

4 it This leads to painful swelling. which is the main sign of gum disease.While inflammat ion hasn’t been shown to cause heart disease .it often goes with it .And as it turns out .the same types of bacteria(细菌)often lead t o inflammation in both diseases.

It's also possible that the connection has less to do with biology than wi th the habits of a(n)25 Perhaps people who take good care of their teeth wi ll protect your heart 26 heart disease.

So what does this mean for you health? Since the role of gum dise ase in causing heart disease isn't certain, don't assume (臆断) tha

t taking care of your teeth will protect you heat. Certainly, brushin g is no replacement for exercise and a healthy diet, but keeping yo ur mouth healthy and avoiding gum disease are still 27 goals to wor k towards. They'll spare you pain and high dental bills and keep you r beautiful smile complete. This research does mean that if you hav

e gum disease, you should get your heart checked. This is28 true i

f you are at risk of heart disease for others reasons ,such as smokin

g .

Who would have though that your mouth and you hear would be connecte d? The body is a(m) 29 and mysterious thing, so do all you can t

o preserve it

Interruptions are one of the worst things to deal with while you'r e trying to get work done.When you want to avoid interruptions at w ork,there are several ways to handle things.Let's take a look at the m now.

If you're busy,don't feel bad about saying no.Tell the person you'r e sorry and explain that you have a million things to do and then ask if th e two of you can talk at a different time.

When people try to interrupt you, have set hours planned and le t them know to come back during that time or that you'll find the

m then. It's important that you let them know when you'll be availab le.It can help to eliminate(消除)future interruptions.

When you need to talk to someone,don’t do it in your own office.If you're in the other person's office or in a public area ,it’s much easier to excu se y ourself to get back to your work than if you try to get someone out of yo ur space even after explaining how busy you are.
