10 几个经济学人文章的问题（请曹老师解答)
您好，曹老师，如下两个问题请您解答下，我一直没看明白这些地方：
1. Announced three years ago to much fanfare about being a transformative moment for the health-care industry, Amazon,JPMorgan Chase and Berkshire Hathaway quietly shelved Haven, a joint venture they set up to lower staff health-care costs.
这里很明显announced部分的主语不是Amazon, Jpmorgan等公司，为什么还是采用了过去分词做状语的形式呢？或者说因为它的主语在从句里已经体现了，听话人能轻松就理解announced部分的主语是Haven吗？
2.TESS which can scan the entire sky is equipped with four special cameras. It will look at around 200 thousand pre-selected stars that are closer and among the brightest is seen from Earth.
这是讲太空探索的文章，and among这部分是什么成分呢？还有the birghtest is seen from Earth从语法角度如何理解呢？

1 原文是这样的：
Announced three years ago to much fanfare about being a transformative moment for the health-care industry, Amazon, JPMorgan Chase and Berkshire Hathaway quietly shelved Haven, a joint venture they set up to lower staff health-care costs. Haven promised to pool technological solutions to provide cheaper insurance, but each company will now work on its own in-house projects instead.
涉及Haven这个合资公司的内容一共是二句话。第一句中过去分词短语在句首作状语，其逻辑主语显然不是句子的主语，属于悬垂修饰语。作者之所以采用悬垂结构，是因为Haven后接了一个非限制性同位语，这个过去分词其实是说明Haven的，但难以兼顾同位语和过去分词作定语的位置，故而把分词短语放到句首做了状语，导致悬垂结构。我认为这是作者考虑不周导致的。其实，调整一下顺序，让过去分词短语作第二句的状语，就避免了悬垂修饰语。我对这二句话修改如下：
Amazon, JPMorgan Chase and Berkshire Hathaway quietly shelved Haven, a joint venture they set up to lower staff health-care costs. Announced three years ago to much fanfare about being a transformative moment for the health-care industry, Haven promised to pool technological solutions to provide cheaper insurance, but each company will now work on its own in-house projects instead.
这样，第二句的主语就是过去分词短语的逻辑主语，避免了悬垂结构，二句话的整体内容基本不变。
2 It will look at around 200 thousand pre-selected stars that are closer and among the brightest is seen from Earth.
这个句子中is 显然是错误的。删去is，让seen from Earth这个过去分词短语作the brightest的定语。然后among介词短语和closer并列作定语从句的表语。
