Passage2
I have learned many languages, but i’ve not mastered them the way professional interpreter or translator has. Still, they have opened doors for me. They have allowed me the opportunity to seek jobs in international contests and help me get those jobs. Like many people who have lived overseas for a while, I simply got crazy about it. I can’t imagine living my professional or social life without international interactions. Since 1977, I have spent much more time abroad than in the United States. I like going to new places, eating new foods, and experiencing new cultures. If you can speak the language, it’s easier to get to know the country and its people. If I have the time and money, I would live for a year in these countries as possible. Beyond my career, my facility with languages has given me a few rare opportunities. Once just after I returned from my year in Vienna, I was asked to translate for a German judge at an Olympic level horse event. I learned a lot about this board. In japan, once when I was in the studio audience of a TV cooking show, I was asked to go up on this stage and taste the beef dish that was being prepared, and tell what I thought. They asked, “Was it as good as American beef?” It was very exciting for me to be on Japanese TV speaking in Japanese about how delicious the beef was.

When you look up at the night sky, what do you see? There are other 26 heavenly bodies out there besides the moon and stars. One of the most 27 fascinating of these is a comet(彗星).
Comets were formed around the same time the Earth was formed. They are 28 made up of ice and other frozen liquids and gases. 29 Now and then these “dirty snowballs” begin to orbit the sun, just as the planets do.
As a comet gets closer to the sun, some gases in it begin to unfreeze. They 30 combined with dust particles from the comet to form a huge cloud. As the comet gets even nearer to the sun, a solar wind blows the cloud behind the comet, thus forming its tail. The tail and the 31 generally fuzzy(模糊的) atmosphere around a comet are 32
characteristics that can help identify this 33 phenomenon in the night sky.
In any given year, about a dozen known comets come close to the sun in their orbits. The average person can’t see them all, of course. Usually there is only one or two a year bright enough to be seen with the 34 naked eye. Comet Hale-Bopp, discovered in 1995, was an unusually bright comet. Its orbit brought it 35 relatively close to the Earth, within 122 million miles of it. But Hale-Bopp came a long way on its earthly visit. It won’t be back for another four thousand years or so.
