D) A businessman and his clerk often fall in love with each other

Passage C

The earth is not the only body that travels around the sun. With it are eight other planets (行星), fellow members of the sun's family.

Two of them are nearer while the other six are farther from the sun than the earth is. The farther they are, the longer trips they make around the sun. People noticed long ago that these traveling bodies moved around in the sky in fixed paths. It is a force called gravity (重力) that holds them in their paths.

We know that every little bit of matter in the universe (宇宙) pulls upon every other bit of matter. Because the sun is so large, the pulls between the sun and the planets are thus great. If it were not for these pulls, the planets would fly off into space. In the same way there exists a pull between the earth and the moon, which keeps the moon traveling in its orbit (轨道) around our planet, the earth. Gravity holds you to the earth’s surface, and pulls back to it the ball which you throw into the air. Of course, the ball also pulls on the larger earth but the earth is so much larger that the pull is not noticed.

Now remember that large bodies bring to bear a greater pull on any body than smaller ones which contain less material. But each object in the universe, no matter how small, pulls on all other objects to some degree.

A) one of the nine fellow members B) bigger than two of the other bodies C) smaller than the other bodies D) nearer than two fellow members 22. These traveling bodies __________.

A) make much longer trips when they travel around the sun B) have the same traveling paths
