The temperature of the Sun is over 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit at the surface, but it rises to perhaps more than 16 million degrees at the center. The Sun is so much hotter than the Earth that matter can exist only as a gas, except at the core. In the core of the Sun, the pressures are so great against the gases that, despite the high temperature, there may be a small solid core. However, no one really knows, since the center of the Sun can never be directly observed. Solar astronomers do know that the Sun is divided into five layers or zones. Starting at the outside and going down into the Sun, the zones are the corona, chromospheres, photo-sphere, convection zone, and finally the core. The first three zones are regarded as the Sun’s atmosphere. But since the Sun has no solid surface, it is hard to tell where the atmosphere ends and the main body of the Sun begins. The Sun’s outermost layer begins about 10,000 miles above the visible surface and goes outward for millions of miles. This is the only part of the Sun that can be seen during an eclipse such as the one in February 1979. At any other time, the corona can be seen only when special instruments are used on cameras and telescopes to keep out the glare of the Sun’s rays. The corona is a brilliant, pearly white, filmy light, about as bright as the full Moon. Its beautiful rays are a sensational sight during an eclipse. The corona’s rays flash out in a brilliant fan that has wispy spike-like rays near the Sun’s north and south poles. The corona is thickest at the Sun’s equator. The corona rays are made up of gases streaming outward at tremendous speeds and reaching a temperature of more that 2 million degrees Fahrenheit. The rays of gas thin out as they reach the space around the planets. By the time the Sun’s corona rays reach the Earth, they are weak and invisible. One thing that is sure about the core of the Sun is that ______.
A. it is gas
B. it is solid
C. the temperature is low
D. the pressure is great

Every artist knows in his heart that he is saying something to the public. Not only does he want to say it well, but wants it to be something which has not been said before. He hopes the public will listen and understand--he wants to teach them and he wants them to learn from him. What visual artists, like painters, want to teach is easy to make out but difficult to ex- plain, because painters translate their experiences into shapes and colors, not words. They seem to feel that a certain selection of shapes and colors, out of the countless billions possible, is exceptionally interesting for them and worth showing to us. Without their work we should never have noticed these particular shapes and colors, or have felt the delight which they brought to the artist Most artists take their shapes and colors from the world of nature and from human bodies in motion and repose (静止). Their choices indicate that these aspects of the world are worth looking at and, that they contain beautiful sights. Contemporary (当代的) artists might say that they merely choose subjects that provide an interesting pattern, that there is nothing more in it. Yet even they do not choose entirely without reference to the character of their subjects. If one painter chooses to paint an injured leg and another a lake in moonlight, each of them is directing our attention to a certain aspect of the world. Each painter is telling us something, showing us something, emphasizing something—all of which means that, consciously or unconsciously he is trying to teach us. An artist’s choice of shapes and colors indicates that he believes them to be ______.
A. calm
B. moving
C. delightful
D. worth looking at
