“Can I see my baby?” asked the happy new mother. The bundle was placed in her arms and when she moved the fold of cloth to look upon his tiny face, she gasped—the baby had been born without ears. Time, however, proved that the baby’s hearing was perfect except his appearance.
One day when he rushed home from school and threw himself into his mother’s arms,he cried out bitterly,“A boy, a big boy…called me-a f—…freak”She sighed, knowing that his life was to be endless of heartbreaks.

The operation was a brilliant success.His talents blossomed into genius.School and college became a series of successes.Later he married and entered the diplomatic service.“But I must know!” he urged his father.“Who gave so much for me? I could never do enough for him.”
“I do not believe you could,” said the father,“but the agreement was that you are not to know…not yet.”The years kept the secret, but the day did come …one of the darkest days that ever passed through a son.He stood with his father over his mother’s casket(棺材).Slowly and tenderly,the father stretched forth a hand and raised the thick,reddish-brown hair to let out the secret.

Four hundred years ago, an Italian scientist named Galileo Galilei became the first person to see the craters(环形山) on the moon. Galileo was one of the first people to use a telescope to study the sky. Since then, telescopes have become the most important tool used by astronomers. Scientists never stop finding new ways to make these instruments more powerful. In the next several years, two new telescopes with different purposes are to be used.
One of the telescopes, called Pan-STARRS, could save humans from dying out. Nick Kaiser, a scientist who works on the project, says the Pan-STARRS telescope has been designed to find “90 percent of all killer asteroids(小行星) near Earth”.
Pan-STARRS, like most telescopes, uses mirrors and lenses(透镜) to provide pictures of outer space. Giant mirrors are used to “gather” light. They reflect the light onto the lens of a camera, which can then record the image.
When completed, Pan-STARRS will include four telescopes which will be put on top of a mountain on the Hawaiian island of Maui. Only one telescope is in place and working now. Each telescope will take pictures of one patch of sky for about 30 seconds, and then move on to another patch. Every night, each telescope will take pictures of about 1,000 patches. Every week, each telescope will have photographed the whole sky.
Each of the four telescopes will take pictures of the same patches of sky. One telescope, working alone, may sometimes incorrectly show an asteroid. If there are three other telescopes working, astronomers can use them to see if there really is an asteroid coming our way. By using four telescopes instead of one, scientists hope to get a better picture of space. If a giant asteroid was identified, astronomers would try to break it up long before it reached Earth.
小题1: Galileo Galilei is mentioned to ____________.
A.tell us the history of telescopes
B.introduce the topic of the passage
C.show people his contributions
D.tell us about the craters on the moon
小题2: For what purpose is Pan-STARRS designed?
A.To find more asteroids around Earth.
B.To help scientists know Earth better.
C.To find killer asteroids coming towards Earth.
D.To learn about asteroids in outer space.
小题3:What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A.The use of mirrors in a telescope.
B.Why Pan-STARRS is different.
C.How telescope “gather” light
D.How a telescope works.
小题4:How many patches is the whole sky divided into when Pan-STARRS is working?
A.1,000B.7,000C.21,000D.28,000
小题5: The four telescopes will take pictures of the same patches of sky because _____.
A.one telescope often takes unclear pictures
B.one telescope may provide incorrect information
C.information from just one telescope is usually incorrect
D.no information is allowed to be identified based on single information
