Once upon a time, a young man was standing in the middle of the town announcing that he had the most beautiful heart in the world. A large crowd gathered, and they al praised his heart for it was perfect.
Suddenly, an old man appeared and said, “Why ,your heart is not as beautiful as mine.”
The old man’s heart was ful of scars（伤疤）. Some pieces of his heart were removed and some pieces from other people were put in, but they didn’t fit quite right. So there were several jagged（锯齿状的）edges. In fact, there were stil some holes in his heart where the pieces were missing.
The young man laughed,“Comparing yours with mine, mine is perfect and yours is a mess.”
“Yes,”said the old man. “But, every scar shows that I took out a piece of my heart and gave it to a person, and often he gave me a piece of his heart in return.”
“Why do you have some jagged edges in your heart?”asked the young man.“Because the shapes of the pieces weren’t the same.”“Then the holes?”“Sometimes I gave pieces of my heart away, and the other person hasn’t given back a piece of his, so … but I don’t care.”“How come?”“They remind me of the love we shared.”
The young man was deeply moved. He walked up to the old man, took a piece of his heart out and gave it to the old man.
The old man placed it in his heart, then took a piece from his old scarred heart and placed it in the wound（伤口）in the young man’s heart. It fitted, but not perfectly, as there were some jagged edges.
The young man looked at his heart, not perfect any more but more beautiful than ever.
How sad it must be to go through life with a whole untouched heart!

If you look at the sky one night and see something moving and shining that you have never seen before, it might be a comet (彗星).
A comet sometimes looks like a star. Like a planet, a comet has no light of its own. It shines from the sunlight it reflects (反射). Like the earth, a comet goes round the sun, but on a much longer path (轨道) than the earth travels.
If a comet isn’t a star, what is it then?
Some scientists think that a large part of a comet is water frozen into pieces of ice and mixed with iron and rock dust and perhaps a few big pieces of rock. When sunshine melts (融化) the ice in the comet, great clouds of gas go trailing after it. These clouds, together with the dust, form a long tail.Many people perhaps have seen a comet. However no one knows how many comets there are. There may be millions of comets, but only a few come close enough for us to see.
An Englishman named Edmund Halley, who lived from 1656 to 1742, found out a lot about the paths that comets take through the sky. Some comets move out of our sight and never come back. Others keep coming back at regular times. A big comet that keeps coming back was named after Halley because he was the one who worked out when it would come back again. Maybe you have ever seen Halley’s Comets because the last time it came close to the sun and the earth was in the year 1986. Then people all over the world were outside at night to look at it. You will probably be able to see Halley’s Comets when it comes near the earth again.
