问题 We have glimpsed a few clues to the destiny of the universe, some of them hopeful and others hopeless. The【B1】news is that we are not going to be wiped out. The universe is【B2】to remain hospitable to life for at least another additional 100 billion years. That’s 20 times as long as Earth has【B3】, and 5 million times as long as Homo sapiens(智人)has lasted so far. The bad news is that【B4】lasts forever. The Big Bang theory suggests that the destiny of the universe  will  be【B5】through  a  tug-of-war between two【B6】forces. One is the expansion of space, which for more than 10 billion years has been carrying heavenly bodies apart【B7】each other. The other is the mutual gravity force【B8】by those stars and planets in the universe; it acts like a brake, slowing down the【B9】rate. In this simple picture, if the gravity force is strong enough to bring expansion【B10】a halt, the universe is doomed to turn into a fierce fireball -- a Big Crunch(大挤压)that【B11】the Big Bang run in reverse. If it’s not,【B12】the expansion wins out, then the universe will【B13】grow unpleasantly dark and cold. Such were the【B14】that Robert Frost wrote:
"Some say the world will【B15】in fire,
Some say in ice...
I think I know【B16】of hate
To know that for【B17】ice is also great
And would suffice(足够).
【B18】fate looks like curtains for life. Fatalists draw dark satisfaction from the fire-and-ice story, which【B19】the essential human perception that nobody【B20】out of life alive.
