As an astrnmer(天文学家)，I am accustmed t bserving the universe in quiet places. I bserve galaxies in the deep universe-places s far away that their light takes billins f years t reach ur eyes.
Smetimes I wnder what ur wn galaxy lked like billins f years ag, befre slar system was brn. I ften stare at the Hubble Deep Field(哈勃深空区)searching fr clues∶galaxies clliding(碰撞)，stars explding，and stellar nurseries. Can lking t the stars bring us clser tgether?
A cuple f mnths ag，Betelgeuse，a bright star in the Orin cnstellatin(猎户座) started t get dimmer and dimmer. Astrnmers all ver the wrld thught this might be a signal that the star was abut t explde. Thugh it might nt happen fr anther 1000 years r mre, still I went utside every night t check it ut. I was hping that it wuld explde. Imagine seeing a star shining as bright as the full mn even during the day.
I started dreaming abut using such an event t remind everyne that stars prduce nearly all f the chemical elements in the universe, which came directly ut f the Big Bang. Everything we breathe, tuch and see was made inside f stars. The irn in ur bld, calcium bnes, and almst the entire peridic table are prducts f stellar evlutin.

I am hping that everyne n the planet is saving sme time t cntemplate（凝视，沉思)the universe and t realize we are nt alne. N matter where we are r wh we are, we are n this planet tgether. Since we are all made f stars, lking up at the night sky gives us a glimpse f ur past and ur future, and we can cntemplate bth tgether.
12．Why des the authr write this article?
A．T advise thers t stare at a ptentially explding star recently.
B．T research int the scientific mystery in the universe with readers.
C．T discuss the prper relatinship between human and the universe.
D．T suggest us thinking abut the way human beings live in this wrld.
13．Accrding t the article, Betelgeuse________.
A．is a star the authr tracked fr years
B．will prduce chemical elements if it expldes
C．is a nrmal star which is disappearing
D．will explde in ten thusand years
14．"Such an event"underlined in Paragraph 4 refers t________.
A．Betelgeuse's ptential explsin
B．Betelgeuse's getting dimmer and dimmer
C．the authr's checking ut every night
D．a star's shining as bright as the sun
15．What's the best title f this passage?
