    Maria Mitchell(1818-1889,the first woman astronomer(天文学家)in the United States, was born in Nantucket. Massachusetts. Her parents valued education and insisted on giving her the same quality of education that boys received
    Her father. William Mitchell, was an astronomer and teacher himself. When he built his own school, Maria became a student and also a teaching assistant to him. At home. Marias father taught her to watch the stars and other natural objects in space using his personal telescope(望远镜).
    Later she went to work at the library of the Nantucket Atheneum. Over the next tweny years. she further developed her interest in reading as many books as she could.She spent her nights watching the sky closely with her father.
    On October 1, 1847,Maria discovered a comet(彗星 )by merely using a two-inch telescope. Some years before, King Frederick VI of Denmark had set up prizes to each discover of a"telescopic comet". The prize was to be given to the"first discoverer"of each such comet because comets were often discovered by more than one person.
   There was once a question of who should be the winner. As the story goes, francesco de Vico had discovered the same comet two days later, but had reported it to the European vor. She won the prize in 1848 and became a big name the world over. The comet was named“ Miss mitchell's Comet.”

      Many schools have their art programs removed in an effort to improve test scores and money. However, some researchers believe that this is not correct. Students can master some basic skills in art class that they cannot find in a normal classroom.
   Allow me to share why you have to take art class.
   First and most important,it stimulates creativity(激发创造力) Art schools encourage you to think outside the box and be creative enough to create something artistic.It can be used not only in art but in life,too.
   Besides,it helps you make the right choice. In art class, you are usually free to do what you want. In every art class, you are required to make decisions that can determine what your painting will turn out to be.
   In addition, students can learn the art of critical(批判性的) thinking as a skill of observation(观察). For example, art students find ways to imagine, That is a skill they need to beome better readers and problem settlers,
   What is more,it is noted that the company's bosses are actively looking for employees who can think creatively. Creative thinking is one of the most important skills that students can learn in art courses.
   Finally, students who are trained in art class have interesting mental habits. They low to work on a task for a long time and how to continue to work even if they are discouraged. They are better for creating a link between the classroom and the outside world. In addition,children who do art work are able to look back on their work and make iudgments about themselves.

     You know what a hotel is, of course. And perhaps, you also know what a condo is-aresidntial(居住的)building divided into seprate uniots that are owned by different people.What you may not know is that in someU.S. cities, the two have come together into somethingcalled a “condo hotel”.
   Some condo hotels can now be found in beach and mountain towns and a few small cities,However, none is more famous than the great 105-year-old Plaza Hotel in New York,on Fifth Avenue across from Central Park. The Plaza closed for repair in 2005. When it reopened two years later,more than half of it had been changed into one of these modern condo hotels.
     Here's how it works: You buy what equals to an apartment(公寓). If it's at'The Plaza,it will cost you between $1.5million and $9 mllion. So you own a part of the building. But there's some inconvinience. You may stay there no more than 120 days a year. hereion. The rest of the time,the hotel's workers can book guests into your place, just as they would in the regular hotel's rooms. So if you're lucky and rich,you can now live in really special quarters up to almost one thid of the year. While others pay off your mortgage(房贷)the rest of the year.
    So far,a great monry of the nation's condo hotel units have been purchased not by rich people but richer companiesm, including foreign ones. They want a nice place for their bosses to stay when they are in town or working late at the office.
