Objects in the universe show a variety of shapes: round planets (some with rings), tailed comets,wispy cosmic gas and dust clouds, ringed nebulae, pinwheel

30、-shaped spiral galaxies,Line and so on. But none of the shapes on this list describes the largest single entities in the universe. These are the double radio sources, galaxies with huge clouds of radio emission that dwarf the visible galaxies, sometimes by a factor of a hundred or more. Stretching o

31、ver distances greater than a million light-years, these radio-emitting regions resemble twin turbulent gas clouds, typically forming dumbbell-like shapes with the visible galaxy (when it is visible) in the center. These double radio sources present astronomers with a puzzle. Their radio emission ari

32、ses from the synchrotron process, in which electrons accelerated to nearly the speed of light move through magnetic fields. However, in view of the rate at which the radio sources emit energy, they should disappear in a few million years as their electrons slow down and case producing radiation. Som

33、ehow new electrons must be continually accelerated to nearly the speed of light: otherwise, by now almost none of the double radio sources would be observed. With the advent of high-resolution radio interferometers during the late 1970s, part of the answer became clear: the electrons are produced in

34、 jets that are shot out inopposite directions from the center of a galaxy. Remarkably narrow and highly directional, the jets move outward at speeds close to the speed of light. When the jets strike the highly rarefied gas that permeates intergalactic space, the fast-moving electrons lose their high

35、ly directional motion and form vast clouds of radio-emitting gas. Cosmic jets have ranked among the hottest topics of astronomical research in recent years as astronomers strive to understand where they come from. Why should a galaxy eject matter at such tremendous speeds in two narrow jets? And why

36、 are such jets not seen in the Milky Way?38. The word celestial in line 1 could best be replaced byA. visible B. astronomical C. glowing D. scientific39. In the first paragraph, the author describes objects in the universe in terms of theirA. color B. origin C. location D.shape40. According to the p

According to the passage, what happens when electrons and gas collide in space?A. T

38、he gas becomes more condensed. B. The gas becomes less radiated.C. The electrons disperse. D. The electrons become negatively charged. Of all the components of a good nights sleep, dreams seem to be least within our control. In dreams, a window opens into a world where logic is suspended and dead pe

39、ople speak. A century ago, Freud formulated his revolutionary theory that dreams were the disguised shadows of our unconscious desires and rears, by the late 1970s. Neurologists had switched to thinking of them as just mental noise, the random byproducts of the neural-repair work that goes on during

40、 sleep. Now researchers suspect that dreams are part of the minds emotional thermostat, regulating moods while the brain is off-line. And one leading authority says that these intensely powerful mental events can be not only harnessed but actually brought under conscious control, to help us sleep an

41、d feel better. Its your dream, says Rosalind Cartwright, chair of psychology at Chicagos Medical Center. If you dont like it, change it. Evidence from brain imaging supports this view. The brain is as active during REM (rapid eye movement) sleep when most vivid dreams occur as it is when fully awake

42、, says, Dr. Eric Nofzinger at the University of Pittsburgh. But not all parts of the brain are equally involved, the limbic system (the emotional brain) is especially active, while the prefrontal cortex (the center of intellect and reasoning) is relatively quiet. We wake up from dreams happy of depr

43、essed, and those feelings can stay with us all day, says Stanford sleep researcher Dr. William Dement. And this process need not be left to the unconscious. Cartwright believes one can exercise conscious control over recurring bad dreams. As soon as you awaken, identify what is upsetting about the d

44、ream. Visualize how you would like it to end instead, the next time is occurs, try to wake up just enough to control its course. With much practice people can learn to, literally, do it in their sleep. At the end of the day, theres probably little reason to pay attention to our dreams at all unless they keep us from sleeping of we wake up in a panic, Cartwright says terrorism, economic uncertainties and general feelings of insecurity
