9、 TodayD.My Pride in MyselfB Scientists have found an unusual way to prevent our planet from overheating: move it to a cooler spot.

10、stem. This idea for improving our climate comes from a group of US National Aeronautics and Space Administration(NASA) engineers and American astronomers. They say their plan could add another six billion years to the useful lifetime of our planeteffectively doubling its working life. The plan,put f
11、orward by Dr. Laughlin,and his colleagues Don Korycansky and Fred Adams, needs carefully directing a comet of asteroid(小行星)so that it passes close by our planet and sends some of its gravitational energy to Earth. “Earths orbital speed would increase as a result and we would move to a higher orbit a
12、way from the Sun, Laughlin said. Engineers would then direct their comet so that it passed close to Jupiter or Saturn. The comet would pick up energy from one of these giant planets. Later its orbit would bring it back to Earth, and the process would be repeated. In the short term, the plan provides
13、 an ideal way to global warming, although the team was actually concerned with a much greater danger. The Sun is certain to heat up in about a billion years and so “seriously endanger” our biosphere by cooking us. Thats why the group decided to try to save Earth. The plan has one or two worrying asp
14、ects,however. For a start, space engineers would have to be very careful about how they directed their asteroid or comet towards Earth. The smallest miscalculations(误算) in orbit could fire it straight at Earthwith deadly results. There is also the question of the Moon. As the scientific American mag

18、how the plan would work?A.B.C.D.C Of all the planets, none has captured the worlds imagination like Mars. Its reddish colour and changes in brightness over time make the planet an unforgettable sight. In Cosmos, the television science series from the 1980s, scientist Carl Sagan talked about some tra
