summer.This was one more weapon for her todefeat my strange problem inability to read.In the library,I found my way into the“Childrens Room.”I sat down onthe floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random.The cover of a book caughtmy eye.It presented a picture of a beagle.I had recently had a beagle,the firstand only animal companion I ever had as a child.He was my secret sharer,but onemorning,he was gone,given away to someone who had the space and the money to carefor him.I never forgot my beagle.There on the books cover was a beagle which looked identical to my dog.Iran my fingers over the picture of the dog on the cover.My eyes ran across the title,Amos,the Beagle with a Plan.Unknowingly,I had read the title.Without openingthe book,I borrowed it from the library for the summer.Under the shade of a bush,I started to read about Amos.I read very,verysl owly with difficulty.Though pages were turned slowly,I got the main idea ofthe story about a dog who,like mine,had been separated fr om his family and whofinally found his way back home.That dog was my dog,and I was the little boy inthe book.At the end of the story,my mind continued the final scene of reunion,on and on,until my own lost dog and I were,in my mind,running together.My mothers call returned me to the real world.I suddenly realized something:I had read a book,and I had loved reading that book.Everyone knew I could not read.But I had read it.Books could be incredibly wonderful and I was going to read them.I never told my mother about my“miraculous”(奇迹般地)experience thatsummer,but she

ofthe fuel is used up,the star begins to die.The death of a star is not a quiet event.First there is a huge explosion.Asits outer layer is blasted off into space,the dying star shines as brightly as abillion suns.After the explosion,gravity pulls in whats left of the star.As the outsideof the star sinks toward the center,the star gets smaller and smaller.The materialthe star is made of becomes tightly packed together.A star is so solid that a teaspoonof matter from it weighs billion of pounds.The more the star shrinks(收缩),the stronger the gravity inside it becomes.Soonthe star is very tiny,and the gravity pulling it in is unbelievably strong.In fact,the gravity is so strong that it even pulls light into the star!Since all the lightis pulled in,none can go out.The star becomes black when there is no light.Thena black hole is born!Thats what we know about black holes.What we dont know is this:What happensinside a black hole after the star has been squeezed into a tiny ball?Does it keepgetting smaller and smaller forever?Such a possibility is hard to imagine.But if the black hole doesnt keep shrinking,what happens to it?Some scientiststhink black holes are like doorways to another world.They say that as the stardisappears from our universe,it goes into another universe.In other words a blackhole in our universe could turn into a white hole in a different universe.As theblack hole swallows(吞噬)light,the white hole shines brightly-somewhere else.But where?Adifferent place,perhaps,or a different time-many years in the pastor future.Could you travel through a black hole?Right now,no.Nothing we know of couldgo into a black hole without being crushed(挤压).So far the time being,black holemust remain a mystery.Black holes are a mystery-but that hasnt stopped scientists from dreaming aboutthem.One scientist suggested that in the future we might make use of the power ofblack holes.They would supply all of Earths energy needs,with plenty to spare.Another scientist wondered if a black hole could some day be used to swallow earthlywaste-a sort of huge waste disposal(处理)in the sky!32.When the star begins to die _.A.there is no fuel left in itB.a huge explosion will happenC.its outer layer goes into space firstD.it doesnt give off light any longer33.Which of the following doesnt help produce a black hole?A.The dying star shines very brightly.B.The
