How many things can you see in the night sky? A lot! On a clear night you might see the moon and a large number of beautiful stars.
(36)______ You might see that many stars look larger than others. You might see that some stars that look white are really red or blue. With bigger and bigger telescopes (望远镜), you can see more and more things in the sky. And you can see those things more and more clearly.
(37)______ We won't see them with the biggest telescope in the world, even when it is the clearest night of the year.
That's because they look black—although they give off (发出) light, the light can never reach us. They're the surprising dead (死的) stars called black holes.
You might find it hard to imagine that stars die. After all, our sun is a star. (38)______. But stars do die after many many years.
As a star's gases burn (气体燃烧), they give off light and heat (热). But when the gases run out, the star stops burning. It begins to die and becomes a black hole. (39)______ So our sun will never become a black hole. It is not big enough.

My dream
My dream is to be an astronaut and travel in space when I grow up. When I was 10, I became interested in space travels. From then on, I often watched the space news on TV and read books on space travels. At the age of 12, I began to make model spaceships and now I have already made three. Last month I entered a model spaceship competition and won the prize. I am sure my dream will come true one day if I work hard.
