Cambridge was already a developing town long before the first students and teachers arrived 800 years ago. It grew up by the river Cranta, as Cambridge was once called. A bridge was built over the river as early as 875.
In the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries more and more land was used for college buildings. The town grew much faster in the nineteenth century after the opening of the railway in 1845. Cambridge became a city in 1951 and now it has a population of over 100,000. Many young students want to study at Cambridge. Thousands of people from all over the world come to visit the university town. It has become a famous place all around the world.
Why do many visitors come to Cambridge？
What did the concert tour in Europe bring the man？
Trillions of incredibly tiny diamonds, possibly formed by a dying star before the solar system was born 4.5 billion years ago, have been found by researchers 【C1】______ four meteorites.
The powder-like diamonds could be among the oldest things in the 【C2】______ , said Roy Lewis, senior research associate at the University of Chicago.
The diamonds may 【C3】______ clues about the chemistry of stars, and if scientists can determine how they formed, that could suggest better ways of manufacturing tiny diamonds for 【C4】______ purposes, he said.
"It's quite possible that nature is doing it more 【C5】______ than we've been doing it," he said. "So maybe we've got something to learn."
The new find is 【C6】______ , said John Wood, staff scientist at the Harvard-Smithsonian Centre for Astrophysics. Although diamonds have been found before in meteorites, they were formed relatively recently 【C7】______ the shock of impact, he said in a telephone interview.
But Wood said the new report made him "quite sure" the newly found diamonds are older than the sun.
Lewis said researchers never expected to find diamonds when they started 【C8】______ a stone-like meteorite that had plunged into Mexican cornfield in 1969.
They were studying an unusual carbon dust in the meteorite, and to purify the sample they went though several steps to dissolve other materials. They expected the sample to remain black through the purification, but to their surprise in the final step it turned 【C9】______ .
Lewis said they believed the final stage had dissolved the carbon they wanted to study. But tests showed that the white residue was in fact made of carbon. Other tests found that it contained an unusual combination of forms of the gas xenon, 【C10】______ that it came from outside the solar system.
Still another battery of tests 【C11】______ the residue as diamond dust, so fine that a row of 20,000 grains would extend about the 【C12】______ of a human hair.
The researchers also found diamonds in three other meteorites, Lewis said. Tests showed all four meteorites were as old as the solar system, and that the embedded diamonds did not form. within the meteorite 【C13】______ of collisions.
So the diamonds must have 【C14】______ somewhere else before the meteorites formed, making them as old or older than the solar system.
The diamonds may have formed in the upper atmosphere of a star in the late "red giant" stage, where the temperature and abundance of hydrogen could 【C15】______ diamonds to form. as carbon gas condenses.

听力原文：W: Okay. May I see your driver's license, please？
M: What？ Did I do anything wrong？
W: License, please. And your car registration.
M: Oh, yeah. It's here somewhere in the glove compartment. Yeah, here it is.
W: Sir, did you realize you were speeding in a school zone？
M: What？ No, I didn't, but that's probably because my odometer is broken, I mean, malfunctioning.
W: Yes, you were going 50 miles per hour in a 20 miles per hour zone. And, you failed to come to a complete stop at the intersection back there.
M: Rolling stops don't count？
W: And, one of your break lights is out, you're not wearing a seat belt, AND your driver's license expired six months ago.
M: Hey, my wife's cousin's husband works for the police department here. Or was that the fire department？ Anyway, I thought you might be good pals, and you know ...
W: Hey, are you trying to influence an officer？ I could have this car impounded right now because of these infractions.
M: No, of course not.
W: Okay, then. Here's your ticket. You can either appear in court to pay the fine or mail it in. Have a nice day.
Why is the man made to show his driver's license？
