24、Is there intelligent (有智力的) life on other planets? For years, scientists said “no” or “we don’t know”. But today this is changing. Seth Shostak and Alexandra Barnett are astronomers (天文学家). They believe intelligent life exists (存在) somewhere in the universe. They also think we will soon contact these beings (人；生物).

Why do Shostak and Barnett think intelligent life exists on other planets? The first reason is time. Scientists believe the universe is about 12 billion years old. “This is long enough for other planets to have intelligent life,” say Shostak and Barnett. The second reason is size — the universe is huge. “Tools like the Hubble Telescope (哈勃望远镜) have shown that there are at least 100 billion galaxies,” says Shostak. “And our galaxy, the Milky Way, has at least 100 billion stars. Some planets going around these stars might be similar to Earth.”

In the past, it was hard to look for signs of intelligent life in the universe. But now, powerful telescopes (高倍望远镜) allow scientists to discover smaller planets. These planets might have intelligent life.

Have beings from space already visited Earth? “Probably not,” says Shostak. However, intelligent beings may contact us in other way, such as radio signals (信号). In fact, they may be trying to communicate with us now, but we don’t have the right tools to receive their messages. However, this is changing. By 2025, we could make contact with other life forms in our universe and we might help each other.

【1】Why was it hard to look for signs of intelligent life in the universe in the past?

A．There were not any smaller planets.

B．The Milky Way didn’t exist at that time.

C．The astronomers were not interested in them.

D．There were not any powerful telescopes.

【2】What is the best title for Paragraph 2?

A．The Age and Size of Earth

B．Why Intelligent Life Might Exist

C．Our Galaxy: The Milky Way

D．Earth: The Only Planet with Intelligent Life

【3】What does the underlined phrase life forms in the last paragraph mean?

A．messages

B．tools

C．intelligent beings

D．radio signals

25、In my early childhood, I was often surprised when I saw my father making a small number of money with difficulty. Being a child, I was unable to understand him. When I was older, my father started doing a part-time job at home. He used to bring some work back and work till late night.

I can’t forget he played with me when I was 3-4 years old. He taught me how to read when I was at the age of 5. He took care of me all night when I was sick. Whenever I felt down, he would cheer me up. He also cared about my lessons and often helped me get ready for examinations. Later he sent me to New Delhi for the best education. Whenever I needed money, he never refused. He always managed money for my studies.

Two years ago, I got a job at a hospital in New Delhi. When I helped my first patient, I got a strong feeling of satisfaction. When I got my first salary (薪水) which was about ten times more than my pocket money, I spent it all on myself.

When I returned home one fine morning, I heard my father communicating with one neighbor. He was telling him my success in the job very proudly. He also told him that I had a higher salary than him at the end of his work. A dream, his son should become better than himself came true.

I was unable to move on my feet. Past 23 years flashed into my mind in a moment. I knew my father loved me very much. I could understand the meaning of my father’s aspirations (愿望). I could understand the decisions my father made in the past. The financial (经济)difficulty he was facing was decided by his goal—making his child more successful than himself.

27、When I was at school, I played football. When I started, I was a terrible player and nobody wanted me to be on their team. But I started to improve slowly and after a few years, the other kids in the school accepted me as a player, not a fantastic one, but one who wouldn’t do anything silly.

When I was at university, I stopped playing sports. I was studying too hard. I started eating too much, and, worst of all, I started smoking. I was too heavy and unhealthy.

Then one day, I was sitting in the park and watching people running. They looked healthy, and some of them were much older than me! At that moment, I decided to stop smoking and change my life. I went to a sports shop, bought myself a pair of running shoes, shorts and a T-shirt. That evening I went running around the park — for ten minutes! Physically, I felt terrible. Everything was hurting, my legs, my chest (胸). But inside, I felt good about it.

The next evening, I went again. I still only ran for ten minutes, but I didn’t feel as bad as I did the day before. In a week, I was running for fifteen minutes, then twenty, and after three weeks, I ran for thirty minutes without stopping. My speed was improving all the time. After six months, I was a runner!

That was five years ago. I now run eight kilometers six times a week and love it. My proudest moment was last year, when I ran my first marathon (马拉松赛跑) and finished in under three hours. I’m healthier now than I’ve ever been.
