The main camera abroad NASA’s(美国宇航局) Hubble Space Telescope(哈伯太空望远镜) had something go wrong suddenly, and this problem could delay or cancel much of the work. Hubble will continue to observe the heavens with its three other instruments, however.

On 27 January, Hubble’s Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) switched itself into a protective “safe mode” after a short in its electronics. NASA engineers believe the fault has killed the camera’s ability to see far and wide. “It’s really a blow to Hubble science; there’s no way around that fact,” says Holland Ford, an astronomer at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, and main investigator for ACS. He adds that of the 800 current proposals(计划) for using Hubble, two thirds are linked to the ACS.

Engineers will try to determine if the camera can be repaired when the Space Shuttle(航天飞机) meets with Hubble in 2008. But that’s a long shot, says David Leckrone, senior project scientist for Hubble. A fix would likely require opening up ACS and even breaking down other equipment, Leckrone says.

During that visit, astronauts will also set a new camera that can see in infrared(红外线的) and ultraviolet wavelengths and will be able to perform some of ACS’s work. Until then, some projects will stop, says Adam Riess, an astronomer at Johns Hopkins and Space Telescope Science Institute who uses supernovae(超新星) to study the expansion(膨胀) of the universe. “I don’t think we’ll make a lot of progress until the serving(检修) works,” Riess says. “It will be tiring to wait.”

After the ACS’s primary electronics failed last year, some officials issued a call for proposals for surveys that rely on Hubble’s other instruments. In December, they picked 6 of 34 suggestions to form a schedule. The officials have also given researchers an extra two weeks to modify their latest proposals. So from now until its new camera arrives, Hubble will be switching to plan B.

67. From the passage, we can know that ______.

　 A. Cornell University tries every means to meet the needs of society

B. the students will contact their parents when they are on campus

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 D

　　 You can improve your child’s hearing memory considerably. Once his hearing memory has been greatly improved, he’ll be able to use and remember what he listens to in class. The success of these suggestions depends upon our ability to use your child’s natural desire to get involved in games he finds simple and fun.

A good way to begin is to read aloud a sentence from a book suitable for your child’s reading age. Then ask your youngster to repeat the sentence back to you correctly. Next, reread the sentence, leaving out a particular word. See if your child can identify the word you left out. At the beginning use only simple sentences. Gradually, increase the length of the sentences. Make sure you don’t rush things along too quickly, or your child may become discouraged and tired of the game.

Take your child shopping with you often. He’s to remember a list of items you want to buy in the supermarket. At first, ask him to remember only a few things. Then, as he shows increased ability to remember, make the list longer and longer. Praise him often and warmly when he shows increased ability to remember things. He’ll become proud of his “good” memory and will happily play the game.

Encourage your child to learn easy and short poems. As his ability to do this becomes stronger, encourage him to remember longer poems. Do the same with songs.
