Edmund Halley（哈雷）was an English scientist who lived over 200 years ago. He studied the observations of comets（彗星）which other scientists had made. The orbit（轨道）of one particular comet was a very difficult mathematical problem. He could not work it out. Neither could other scientists who dealt with such problems.
However, Halley had a friend named Newton, who was a brilliant（有才华的） mathematician. Newton thought he had already worked out that problem, but he could not find the papers on which he had done it. He told Halley that the orbit of a comet had the shape of an ellipse（椭圆）.
Now Halley set to work. He worked out the orbits of some of the comets that had been observed by other scientists. He made a surprising discovery. The comets that had appeared in the years 1531, 1607, and 1682 all had the same orbit. Yet their appearances had been 75 to 76 years apart（相隔）.
This seemed very strange to Halley. The different comets followed the same orbit. The more Halley thought about it, the more he thought that there had not been three different comets, as people thought. He decided that they had simply seen the same comet three times. The comet had gone away and had come back again.
It was an amazing idea! Halley felt certain enough to make a prediction（预言）of what would happen in the future. He decided that this comet would appear in the year 1758. There were 53 years to go before Halley’s prediction could be tested.
In 1758 the comet appeared in the sky. Halley did not see it, for he had died some years before. Ever since then that comet has been called Halley’s comet, in his honor.

A. some different comets appearing several times
B. the same comet appearing at different times

D. several comets appearing at the same time
62. Halley made his discovery ____________.
A. by doing experiments
B. by means of his own careful observation
C. by studying the work of other scientists
D. by chance
63. Halley made a surprising, but correct prediction（预言）in the year ____________.
A. 1704 B. 1705 C. 1706 D. 1707
64. This passage in general is about ____________.
A. Halley and other scientistsB. the orbit of a comet
C. Newton and Halley D. Halley and his discovery
65. According to the passage, which of the flowing is NOT true?
A. Newton worked out the orbit of the comet.
B. Halley worked out the orbit of the comet first.
C. Newton gave Halley some help.
D. Halley died before 1758.

Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer program that allows students to do schoolwork anywhere they want. Within five years, each of the 1500 students at the college will receive a laptop. The laptops are part of a $10 million computer program at Westlake, a 110-year-old college.
