We believe, however, that some two thousand million years ago, another star wandering through space, happened to come near our sun. Just as the sun and the moon raise tides on the earth, so this star must have raised tides on the surface of the sun. But they were very different from the small tides that are raised in our oceans; a large tidal wave' must have travelled over the surface of the sun, at last forming a mountain so high that we cannot imagine it. As the cause of the disturbance (动荡) came nearer, so the mountain rose higher and higher. And before the star began to move away again, its tidal pull had become so powerful that this mountain was torn to pieces and threw off small parts of itself into space. These small pieces have been going round the sun ever since. They are the planets (行星).
Millions of stars are______.
A.following a regular path in space
B.always travelling together
C.seldom wandering about in the universe
D.moving about without a fixed course

Deep inside a mountain near Sweetwater in East. Tennessee is a body of water known as the Lost Sea. It is listed
by the Guinness Book of Would Records as the world’s largest underground lake. The Lost Sea is part of an
extensive and historic cave system called Craighead Caverns.
The caverns have been known and used since the days of the Cherokee Indian nation. The cave expands into
a series of huge rooms from a small opening on the side of the mountain. Approximately one mile from the
entrance, in a room called “The Council Room,” many Indian artisfacts have been found. Some of the items
discovered include pottery, arrowheads, weapons, and jewelry.
For many years there were persistent rumors of a large underground lake somewhere in a cave, but it was not
discovered until 1905. In that year, a thirteen-year-old boy named Ben Sands crawled through a small opening
three hundred feet underground. He found himself
in a large cave half filled with water.
Today tourists visit the Lost Sea and ride far out onto it in glass-bottomed boats powered by electric motors.
More than thirteen acres of water have been mapped out so far
and still no end to the lake has been found. Even though teams of divers have tried to explore the Lost Sea,
the full extent of it is still unknown.
The Lost Sea is unique because it is ________.
A. part of a historical cave system
B. the biggest underground lake in the world
C. listed in the Guinness Book of World Records
D. the largest body of water in Tennessee
Mr. Phanourakis knew no language except his own but, with the self-confidence of a mountain villager, he made his way easily about the ship. When the bell announced the serving of lunch on his first day on board he found the number of his table from the list outside the dining-room and went straight to his table while many of the other passengers crowded helplessly round the chief steward waiting to be told where their tables were.
It was a small table for two. Mr. Phanourakis sat down. After a few minutes his table--companion arrived. "Bon appetit, m’sieur," he murmured politely, as he took the other chair.
Mr. Phanourakis looked at him quickly and then smiled. "Phanourakis," he said, carefully spacing out the Greek syllables.
During the afternoon, one of the ship's officers, who spoke a little Greek, asked Mr. Phanourakis whether he had found any acquaintances on board.
The old man shook his head. "The only person I've met is my table-companion," he said. "I think he's French. His name is Bonappetit."
"That is not a name," said the officer gently. "It is a French expression that means 'good appetite'."
The old man's sons wanted him to go to America ______.
A.to live the rest of his life with them
B.and stay with them for a few years
C.to help them run their restaurant
D.to see how rich they had become
