Astronaut repairmen had hardly finished tightening the last stubborn bolts on the Hubble Space Telescope last summer when astronomers set the controls on the refurbished telescope to the dim and distant past. The result was a new long-distance observing record. Astronomers announced in a series of papers over the fall and in a news conference last week that Hubble had recorded images of the earliest and most distant galaxies ever seen, blurry specks of light that burned brightly only 600 million to 800 million years after the Big Bang.
The specks are clouds only one-twentieth the size of the Milky Way galaxy and only 1 percent of its mass, and seem to show the lingering effects of the first generation of stars to form in the universe in that they get bluer the farther back you go in time. The new galaxies, along with other recent discoveries like the violent supernova explosion of a star only 620 million years after the Big Bang, take astronomers deep into a period of cosmic history known as the dark ages, which has been little explored. It was then that stars and galaxies were starting to light up vigorously in larger and larger numbers and that a fog of hydrogen that had enveloped space after the Big Bang fires had cooled mysteriously dissipated.
Richard Ellis of the California Institute of Technology, one of many astronomers who have been working with the observations, said, “We’re reaching the beginning where galaxies formed for the first time.” The universe is about 13.7 billion years old, cosmologists agree, meaning that the light from these galaxies has been on its way to us for 13 billion years.
Statements 1 through 10 (circle + if the statement is true, - if it is false)
1. Last summer, the Hubble was renovated in space by astronauts.
2. The Hubble is a microscope that looks deep into space and sends back images to Earth.
3. The images recently taken with the Hubble recorded galaxies 600-800 million years after the Big Bang.
4. The images taken by Hubble are the farthest images ever recorded from Earth.
5. The age astronomers call the “cosmic age” has been little explored until now.
6. The images Hubble sent back to Earth consisted of specks of clouds and light.
7. The clouds documented by Hubble are one-twentieth the size of the galaxy we live in, the Milky Way.
8. Richard Ellis believes that astronomers are seeing back to the beginning where galaxies formed for the first time.
9. The light from Hubble’s images is believed to be 13 billion years old.
10. It is believed by many cosmologists that the universe is less than 13 billion years old.-

He is building a small house in the backyard for when their baby is old enough to use it as a fort or clubhouse or getaway, and he wants to have three walls up before his wife gets home. She is at her mother's house because her mother has slipped on the ice – a skating party, Christmas-themed – and needs help with preparations for her holiday party, planned before the accident. It's snowing lightly, and the air is cold enough to see. He is working on the small house with a new drill he's bought that day. It's a portable drill, and he marvels at its efficiency. He wants to prove something to his wife, because he doesn't build things like this often, and she has implied that she likes it when he does build things, and when he goes biking or plays rugby in the men's league. She was impressed when he assembled a telescope, a birthday gift, in two hours, when the manual had said it would take four. So when she's gone during this day, and the air is gray and dense and the snow falls like ash, he works quickly, trying to get the foundation done. Once he's finished with the foundation, he decides that to impress her – and he wants to impress her in some way every day and wants always to want to impress her – he will need at least three walls up on the house by the time she gets home.
Circle the correct letter A, B, C, or D:
1. The purpose of the small house is to …
A. allow the man a fort to escape to.
B. appease the man’s wife who is forcing him to the build it.

D. make the man’s wife happy.
2. His wife likes it when he does all of the following EXCEPT:
A. building things
B. skating
C. biking
D. assembling telescopes
3. From the text, we can infer that to marvel is to:
A. admire
B. question
C. examine
D. use
4. He wants to build the small house quickly because …
A. he must build it as quickly as he built the telescope.
B. he told his wife he would complete it while she helped her mother.
C. he wants to impress his wife.
D. he wants to finish it before the weather gets worse.
5. We can assume that …
A. the husband and wife are competitive.

Fifty thousand feet over the Californian desert, the world is a vast expanse of blue with a drab carpet of khaki far, far below. Pilot Peter Siebold sets the craft’s trim to 18 degrees, pushes the stick forward, and counts down: “Three. Two. One. Release.”
The mother ship rises above us as we drift downward for a few seconds. Siebold pulls the yoke back and flips a toggle on the center console. Then: Bang! The hybrid rocket motor ignites and we’re a missile shooting toward the stars at more than three times the speed of sound. The sky becomes black. Then it gets weirder: Siebold flicks the yoke and the vehicle whips around 180 degrees. We’re still heading straight up, but the ship is flying backward. It’s like looking out the windshield of a car thаt’s floored in reverse, except my view is 1,500 miles in each direction, from the Sea of Cortez to San Francisco Bay.
My attention wanders for a split second and the verisimilitude evaporates – seeing walls and ceiling and my blue jeans jerks me back to reality. I’m not in the sky but in a hangar at the headquarters of Scaled Composites in Mojave, California, sitting in a flight simulator for the firm’s latest spacecraft, SpaceShipTwo. If all goes well, SpaceShipTwo will be the commercial version of the radical rocket that won the $10 million X Prize in 2004 after it made two flights to the edge of space in a 14-day period. Richard Branson licensed the technology for Virgin Galactic, his space tourism gambit, which aims to start regular visits to the thermosphere by 2012.
After all of the prize money and media coverage, routine space tourism – this grand flight of human fancy – seems about to happen. SpaceShipTwo will be carried aloft by a mother ship, WhiteKnightTwo, which has been flying for nearly a year. The first SS2 is under construction and slated to begin flight tests in early 2010. Virgin has already sold $60 million in tickets to its first 300 passengers, аnd a taxpayer-funded spaceport is under construction near Las Cruces, New Mexico.
Circle the correct letter A, B, C, or D:
1. Carl Hoffman flew …
A. 50,000 feet over the California desert.
B. to the edge of space.
C. in a simulation of space travel.
D. at more than three times the speed of sound.
2. The pilot counted down …
A. before taking off from the ground.
B. before reaching 50,000 feet.
C. before separating from the mother ship.
D. before turning backwards.
3. The strangest part for him was …
A. when the sky turned black.
B. realizing that he was wearing jeans.
C. flying faster than sound.
D. flying in reverse.
4. SpaceShipTwo …
A. has been making flights into space since 2004.
B. will be the commercial version of a rocket that won a $10 million dollar prize.
C. will make flights for only a year.
D. cost $60 million dollars per flight.
5. The first SS2 …
A. was being made when the article was written.
B. has already been tested.
C. has sold out of tickets.
D. will cost $60 million dollars.-
