When Susan Murabana was a college student volunteering with Cosmos Education, a non-profit aimed at

improving science learning in developing countries, she looked through a telescope for the very first time.

Suddenly, Saturn(土星) and its yellow-gold rings were more than just an illustration in a textbook; they were real

and the experience was powerful.

While traveling with the organization to schools and villages in her home country of Kenya, and helping teach

young children, she realized she wanted children in Kenya, especially girls, to be as exposed to astronomy as

children in the developed countries were.

In 2014, Murabana and her husband Daniel Owen set up the social enterprise Travelling Telescope, an

educational program designed for young children in under served and remote communities. With just a telescope

and a mobile inflatable planetarium(天文馆), they aim to change lives by giving children a chance to see Saturn,

the moon, and various stars, while teaching them basic science and astrophysics.

“There’s a satisfaction you get from going to a school, talking to the children, and seeing their reaction and

their anticipation,” said Murabana. “A 12-year-old boy in eastern Kenya even told us, ‘I used to think scientists lie,

but now I believe in science.’” Murabana believes astronomy, or even simply the act of looking up at the sky,

establishes an awareness of the need to protect our planet and helps children look at our own planet much more

objectively.

There is also a more personal motivation for Murabana’s work—fighting against the perception held by most

Kenyans that astronomy is a Western science. Actually in 2018 the Kenya Space Agency launched its first satellite

into orbit from the International Space Station, and a satellite station in Malindi, on the coast of southeastern

Kenya, is used by the European Space Agency for satellite tracking.

So far, over 400,000 people have looked through the Travelling Telescope and the pair want to expand their

impact by reaching more schools.

4. When Murabana first observed Saturn through a telescope, she felt______.

A. puzzled

B. frightened

C. amazed

D. relaxed

5. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning a 12-year-old boy?

A. To illustrate the impact of Murabana’s project.

B. To highlight the significance of trusting science.

C. To showcase his lack of astronomical knowledge.

D. To demonstrate children’s curiosity about science.

6. What can be inferred from paragraph 5?

A. Most Kenyans have a great passion for astronomy.

B. Murabana’s work got inspired by Western science.

C. Kenya has taken the lead in satellite launching and tracking.

D. Most Kenyans are unaware of their country’s involvement in space research.

7. What can be a suitable title for the text?

A. Bridging Cultures by Volunteering

B. Advertising Travelling Telescope Worldwide
