阅读下面短文,从短文后所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项(选项中有两项为多余选项)。
Every August, bright lights dart(划) across the night sky. Some people call them shooting stars. 1 They’re not stars at all. These beautiful sights are meteors(流星). You can see them for yourself.

An Ideal Time
The Perseids are one of the busiest meteor showers of the year. 2 The Perseids are easiest to see when the Moon isn’t out because its light washes out many meteors. You don’t need anything to help you see them. 3 To see the most meteors each year, you need to find a dark place. Streetlights also wash out meteors. In many areas, a backyard might be perfect. Ask an adult to be with you and keep awake into night. In most cases, meteor showers aren’t early.
Getting Ready
Before you go out, it might be a good idea to put on mosquito repellent(驱蚊剂). Put on warm clothes because you won’t be moving around much. 4
Take a flashlight(手电

筒

) with you. A flashlight that gives off red light is best as red light doesn’t harm your ability to see in the dark as much as other colors do.
5 Go outside, sit in a chair, and look at whatever part of the sky is darkest. Make sure trees and clouds aren’t blocking your view. Avoid looking at any light. Over the next half hour, your eyes will get used to the dark, and you’ll see your first meteor if you are lucky.
A. How does a meteor shower form?
B. But they’re not stars at all.
C. And now for the fun part.
D. In August you can see 60 or more meteors in an hour.
E. Finally, you needn’t worry about the meteors will hit you.
F. A blanket might help keep you warm and protect you from mosquitoes.
G. And you don’t need to know where Perseus is because meteors appear all over the sky.
