Weight on and off the Earth We are so used to.our life on the surface of the earth that it can be quite an effort for our mind to break free of all the ideas that we take for granted.Because we can feel that things are heavy,we think of "weight"as being a fixed quality in an object,but it is not really fixed at all.If you could take a one-pound packet of butter 4,000 miles out from the earth,it would weigh only a quarter of a pound. Why would things weigh only a quarter as much as they do at the surface of the earth if we took them 4,000 miles out into space?The reason is this:all objects have a natural attraction for all other objects;this is called gravitational attraction.But this power of attraction between two obects gets weaker as they get farther apart.When the butter was at the surface of the earth,it was 4,000 miles from the center.When we took the butter 4,000 miles out,it was 8,000 miles from the center,which is twice the distance.If you double the distance between two objects,their gravitational attraction decreases two times two.If you treble the distance, it gets nine times weaker(three times three)and so on. So this is one of the first things we need to remember that the weight of an object in space is not the same as its weight on the surface of the earth. What about the weight of our pound of butter on the surface of the moon?At the distance the puii of the earth is about 4,000 times smaller than it is here on the surface,so we can forget all about the earth-pull on our butter. On the other hand,on the moon there will be an attraction between the butter and the moon,but the butter will weigh only about one-sixth as much as it does on the earth.This is because the moon is so much smaller than the earth.The amount of gravitational pull that a body produces depends on the amount of material in it.A packet of butter has a gravitational pull of its own;but this is very small in relation to the pull of something as large as the moon,or the earth,or the sun.

According to the passage,"weight"should be understood in the sense that
A:it is fixed if it is outside the earth's gravitational puli
B:it decreases four times when it is 4,000 miles from the earth's center
C:it varies with the change of the gravitational attraction between two objects
D:things increase in amount as they are closer to the earth's surface
A:it is fixed if it is outside the earth's gravitational puli
B:it decreases four times when it is 4,000 miles from the earth's center
C:it varies with the change of the gravitational attraction between two objects
D:things increase in amount as they are closer to the earth's surface
参考答案
参考解析
解析：第一段最后一句表明，1磅重的黄油在离地球表面4000英里处重达0.25磅，第二段第一句也表明在4000英里高空处的物体重量仅为其在地球表面的重量的1/4。由此可推算出，4磅重的茶叶在离地球表面4000英里处重达1磅。
第一段第一句表明，我们之所以不能打破固有思维，是因为我们已经习惯了地球上的生活，也就是说，我们正是因为太过熟悉地球上的事物，才没有去质疑这些固有思维。
第一段第二句表明，物体的重量并非固定不变。第二段解释说，物体的重量源于物体间的引力。也就是说，物体的重量随着物体间引力的改变而改变。
最后一段第三句说明一个物体产生的引力与物体本身的重量有关。最后一段第四句又表明由于本身重量较小，一包黄油产生的引力很有限，相对于月球、地球、太阳等产生的强劲引力来说，比较容易被我们忽略。
本篇文章通篇讲的是重量是由引力产生的，并进一步阐述了物体间引力的变化、物体本身的重量，以及物体间的距离这三者之间的关系，主要讲的还是引力对重量的作用。
