题组层级快练14 Unit 4 Astronomy the science of the stars Ⅰ. 阅读理解 (2017·四川广元二模)The world is filled with smart, m every day. A few days ago, my car was not running well. I pulled it into a garage and the young mechanic had it fixed in just a few minutes. He knew what was wrong by simply listening to the engine. I was amazed.
