Aaron has performed in Germany, the Czech Republic and across the United
States.His backflip (后空翻) earned him a place in Guinness World Records.Aaron
doesn’t use a skateboard to do his tricks.He sticks a perfect four－wheeled landing
with his wheelchair.That’s quite an accomplishment for a kid who was born with
spina bifida, a birth defect (缺陷) that made him even unable to sit independently.
One day, when he was eight, his friends encouraged him to roll down a shallow ramp
(斜坡)．It was a scary first ride.Aaron crashed his hands, but he was attracted by it.Six
months later, after endless hard trying and training, he accomplished his first trick—
lifting up one of the back wheels while crossing a barrier.
“The more I rode, the better I became, though I have to admit that the process
involved falling in every way possible，” says Aaron.When Aaron performed his
first airborne 180° out of the box, Steve, his father, sensed an opportunity, videotaped
the performance and sent it to the Internet.A letter soon arrived from John Box,
founder of Colours’N Motion, encouraging Aaron to call him directly whenever he
needed anything.Aaron has a sponsor since.
With his mother helping with scheduling, he has had the opportunity to travel within
the US as well as internationally.He has attended summer camps for disabled children
as a coach.“I know that I can be an inspiration for disabled kids ，” says
Aaron.“The message I want to convey to kids and adults is very simple: Always test
your boundaries and don’t let the ‘disability’ restrict your capacities and
possibilities.”

The company SpaceX has already launched hundreds of its Starlink satellites, with
plans to put as many as 42，000 of them into the earth’s orbit.Its goal is to provide the
high－speed Internet for billions of people.Moving toward that kind of access is
important, but it comes at a cost.Glittering with reflected sunlight, these first orbiters,
sent up in the past year, are brighter than 99 percent of the 5，000 or so other satellites
now circling Earth, and obviously there are going to be a lot more.This sudden
increase is bad for astronomy: the probability of a Starlink satellite crossing a
telescope’s field of view and ruining an observation will be quite high near sunset.For
that reason，my fellow astronomers have signed a petition (请愿书) calling for
governments to protect the night sky from this invasion.
In response to protests, SpaceX has promised to address the visibility problem by,
for example, applying experimental coatings—essentially painting the satellites
black—but the company’s aggressive launch schedule remains unchanged.And thesatellites’ illuminated (被照亮的) surfaces are mostly their solar panels—exactly the
part that cannot be painted over.
Unfortunately, at present no regulations govern how bright a single satellite can be, let
alone thousands of them together.Even if there were such regulations, one nation’s
laws could not hinder ( 阻碍 ) another country’s launches.Space literally has no
borders, and the sky will need to be protected at an international level.As a
consequence, we hope that the United Nations will find a way to think outside of the
box to save the sky for everyone.
When I was growing up in Montana, it was a game to be the first to find a moving
satellite among a host of stars in the night sky.Soon it could be a game to recognize
the constellations (星座) behind a swarm of moving points of light.
5. What is the writer’s attitude toward SpaceX’s launching plans?
A．Indifferent. B．Doubtful.
C．Optimistic. D．Disapproving.
6．Why have the writer’s fellow astronomers signed the petition?
A．SpaceX plans to send too many Starlink satellites into space.
B．The Starlink satellites will possibly ruin an observation near sunset.
C．The first orbiters are brighter than most of other satellites circling Earth.
D．SpaceX fails to provide the high－speed Internet for people around the world.
7．According to the writer, who should shoulder the responsibility to save the
sky?
A．The United States. B．The United Nations.
C．The company SpaceX. D．Just one nation.
8．What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Preserve the Night Sky
B．Ban Starlink Satellites
C．Observe Stars Attentively
D．Protest Against SpaceX
