Mercury, the planet nearest the sun, is difficult to observe from the Earth because it rises and sets within two hours of the sun. ______【46】
Planetary scientists can estimates the age of a planet's surface by the number of impact craters on it. In general, the older the surface, the more craters it has. ______【47】. Between these regions are areas of gently rolling plains that may have been smoothed by volcanic lava flows or by accumulated deposits of fine material ejected during impacts. These plains are also old enough to have accumulated a large number of impact craters. Elsewhere on the planet are smooth, flat plains that are probably younger and volcanic in origin. ______【48】. Sometime between the formation of the intercrater plains and the formation of the smooth plains, the whole planet may have shrunk as it cooled, causing the crust to buckle and form. the long, steep cliffs called scarps.
The largest impact basin on Mercury has a diameter of about 800 miles (1, 300 kilometers) and is surrounded by mountains that rise to heights of about 1. 2 miles (2 kilometers). ______【49】.
On the opposite side of the planet is an area of hilly, linear terrain that probably resulted from seismic waves caused by the same impact.
Like other airless, solid bodies in the solar system, the entire surface of Mercury is covered with a layer of rubble called regolith, which is composed of material, ranging from dust to boulders, that was scattered when impact craters were formed. This debris was in turn broken up and redistributed by subsequent impacts.
Mercury is very dense and has a magnetic field that is about 1 percent as strong as earth's. This suggests the existence of a planetary core composed of iron and nickel and constituting about 40 percent of the planet's volume. ______【50】. Radar images taken of Mercury in 1991 show what are considered to be large ice patches at the planet's North Pole.
A. Some regions on Mercury are heavily cratered, suggesting that they are very old surfaces that were probably formed about 4 billion years ago
B. The crater was probably created by the impact of a large planetesimal when Mercury was forming
C. Consequently, little was known about the planet until the Mariner 10 spacecraft made several flybys in 1974 and 1975
D. Mercury is much smaller than the Earth
E. The surface gravity is about one-third as strong as Earth's, and a thin atmosphere surrounds the planet
F. These plains have relatively few impact craters

“One of the reasons I find this topic very interesting is because my mom was a smoker when I was younger,”says Lindson-Hawley, who studies tobacco and health at the University of Oxford.
By studying about 700 adult smokers, she found out that her mom quit the right way—by stopping abruptly and completely.
In her study, participants were randomly (随机地)assigned to two groups. One had to quit abruptly on a given day, going from about a pack a day to zero. The other cut down gradually over the course of two weeks. People in both groups used nicotine (尼古丁)patches before they quit, in addition to a second form. of nicotine replacement, like gum or spray. They also had talk therapy with a nurse before and after quit day.
Six months out, more people who had quit abruptly had stuck with it—more than one-fifth of them, compared to about one-seventh in the other group. Although these numbers appear low, it is much higher than if people try without support.
And the quit rates were particularly convincing given that before the study started, most of the people had said they&39;d rather cut down gradually before quitting.“If you&39;re training for a marathon, you wouldn’t expect to turn up and just be able to run it. And I think people see that for smoking as well. They think,‘ Well, if I gradually reduce, it&39;s like practice,&39;”says Lindson-Hawley. But that wasn&39;t the case. Instead of giving people practice, the gradual reduction likely gave them cravings (瘾)and withdrawal symptoms before they even reached quit day, which could be why fewer people in that group actually made it to that point. “Regardless of your stated preference, if you&39;re ready to quit, quitting abruptly is more effective,”says Dr. Gabriela Ferreira. “When you can quote a specific number like a fifth of the patients were able to quit, that&39;s compelling. It gives them the encouragement, I think, to really go for it,”Ferreira says.
People rarely manage to quit the first time they try. But at least, she says, they can maximize the odds of success.
