Small but Wise

On December 14,NASA blasted a small but mighty telescope into space.The telescope is called WISE
and is about as wide around as a trashcan.Don't let its small size fool you:WISE has a powerful digital
camera,and it will be taking pictures of some of the wildest objects in the known universe,including
asteroids,faint stars,blazing galaxies and giant clouds of dust where planets and stars are born.
"I'm very excited because we're going to be seeing parts of the universe that we haven't seen be-
fore,"said Ned Wright,a scientist who directs the WISE project.
Since arriving in space,the WISE telescope has been circling the Earth,held by gravity in a polar orbit
(this means it crosses close to the north and south poles with each lap).Its camera is pointed outward,away
from the Earth,and WISE will snap a picture of a different part of the sky every 11 minutes.After six months
it will have taken pictures across the entire sky.
The pictures taken by WISE won't be like everyday digital photographs,however. WISE stands for
"Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer".As its name suggests,the WISE camera takes pictures of features
that give off infrared radiation.
Radiation is energy that travels as a wave.Visible light,including the familiar spectrum of light that be-
comes visible in a rainbow,is an example of radiation.When an ordinary digital camera takes a picture of a
tree,for example,it receives the waves of visible light that are reflected off the tree.When these waves enter
the camera through the lens,they're processed by the camera,which then puts the image together.
Waves of infrared radiation are longer than waves of visible light,so ordinary digital cameras don't see
them,and neither do the eyes of human beings.Although invisible to the eye,longer infrared radiation can
be detected as warmth by the skin.
That's a key idea to why WISE will be able to see things other telescopes can't. Not everything in the
universe shows up in visible light.Asteroids,for example, are giant rocks that float through space一but they
absorb most of the light that reaches them.They don't reflect light,so they're difficult to see.But they do
give off infrared radiation,so an infrared telescope like WISE will be able to produce images of them.During
its mission WISE will take pictures of hundreds of thousands of asteroids.
Brown dwarfs are another kind of deep-space objects that will show up in WISE's pictures.These ob-
jects are "failed" stars一which means they are not massive enough to jump-start the same kind of reactions
that power stars such as the sun.Instead,brown dwarfs simply shrink and cool down.They're so dim that
they're almost impossible to see with visible light,but in the infrared spectrum they glow.

It can be inferred from the last paragraph that brown dwarfs__________.
A:give off infrared radiation
B:are power stars like the sun
C:become massive and active
D:are invisible to the WISE telescope

Compact Disks
If someone says to you your music CDs don't really hold any music on them,and they only have numbers recorded on them,you may not believe it.In fact,he is right in that sound is actually recorded onto the CDs as special numbers-a digital code.The code is pressed onto the CD as bumps（隆起）on a long spiral track almost five kilometers long.These bumps are an average of 0.5 microns（微米）wide.
A small laser beam shines onto the bumps as the CD turns.The light is reflected back to a receiver that records how the laser light bounces back.This lets the CD player turn the reflected light back into the original code.This means you can hear the original code as music.
Digital codes are used with many technologies.E-mail needs these kinds of code numbers.Space probes （探测仪）communicate with their ground station on earth using digital codes.Bar codes are read as digital codes in computer systems.Digital communications with cell phones need digital codes.Weather radios also tune in to specific signals using these codes.
There are many types of compact disks.One format is called CD-RWs.They can be recorded on and re-recorded on(rewritten on)as you would do with a floppy disk（软盘）.Another format is the CD-ROM.The technology for recording on these disks is different from other CDs.These CDs have a dye layer that the CD writer can darken or leave clear.The clear and dark spots are the digital code.CD-ROM stands for Compact Disc-Read Only Memory.This disk is like a"super" floppy disk that can hold lots of information.One CD-ROM can hold the same amount of data as 500 floppy disks.Information is permanently recorded onto it.Computer games and other programs are considered to be CD-ROMs.
CDs were first sold to the public in 1982.These CDs still play well and sound fine.Current CDs are expected to last between 70 to 200 years.Of course,you can make sure your CDs last a long time by taking care of them.
Science keeps on developing.It may not be many more years before a completely new technology is invented and introduced to the public for music recording.In the meantime,there is no doubt you will continue to enjoy listening to your favorite music on CDs and play your favorite computer games on CD-ROMs.

Music is recorded onto CDs as______.
A:laser beams
B:digital codes
C:musical notes
D:special sounds
