Edinburgh BAfter spending years searching for a planet with life, scientists may have found one. In September 2010, a team of US scientists discovered an Earth-sized planet called Gliese 581g. It has a surface temperature neither too hot nor too cold for liquid（液态）water. Scientists think there is a chance that the planet could have life.The planet Gliese 581g goes around a star called Gliese 581, which is about 20 light-years from Earth. That is about 194 trillion（万亿）kilometres 500 million times farther away from us than the moon.A spacecraft traveling at a one-tenth of the speed of light would reach Gliese 581g within about 220 years. A human cant live that long, but robotic explorers could make the job easier. However, our fastest spacecraft dont come anywhere near that one-tenth light-speed mark.At present, scientists dont know what the surface might be like on Gliese 581g. What they know is that the planet is at the right distance from its star to have liquid water. Its also at the right distance to have an atmosphere that could protect the water if it is on the surface.Although spacecraft wont be getting there anytime soon, one way to look for life on Gliese 581g is to turn our radio telescopes（望远镜）towards the planet and search for radiation（放射）. By studying the radiation, scientists would find out about the chemicals（化学物质）around the planet and discover if Gliese 581g has an atmosphere. If it has one, studying the atmosphere would give us a good idea whether the planet has life or not. But itll probably be many years before we can do this properly.People have been arguing about whether there is alien life on Gliese 581g. Any discussion about alien life is just guessing at this point, according to its discoverers.64. What did scientists find in September 2010?A. A planet with water.B. A planet similar to the earth.C. A planet without life.D. A planet near the earth.65. According to the article, Gliese 581g _.A. is at the right distance from its star B. moves around the earthC. is as far away from us as the moonD. can be reached in about 220 years66. Paragraph 5 is mainly about _.A. the possibility of living on Gliese 581g B. the kinds of chemicals around Gliese 581gC. the way of looking for life on Gliese 581gD. the aim of studying the radiation on Gliese 581g67. Which of the following is the best title for the passage above?A. Gliese 581g, a Likely Living Planet B. Gliese 581, a Likely Living PlanetC. Gliese 581g and Its Star D. Gliese 581g and Radiation CA jobless man wanted very much to have the position of “office boy” at Microsoft.

DWhen I was a kid in Minnesota, watermelon was expensive. One of my fathers friends, Bernie, was a rich businessman, who owned a large store in St. Paul.Every summer, when the first watermelons arrived, Bernie would call. Dad and I would go to Bernies place. We d sit on the edge of the dock(码头)， feet dangling(摇晃)， and got ready for a big meal.Bernie would take his knife, cut our first watermelon, hand us both a big piece and sit down next to us. Then wed bury our faces in watermelon, eating only the heart-the reddest, juiciest, firmest, sweetest, most seed-free part-and throw away the rest.Bernie was my fathers idea of a rich man. I always thought it was because he was such a successful businessman. Years later, I realized that it was not Bernies wealth itself but his way of dealing with it that my father liked. Bernie knew how to stop working, get together with friends and eat only the heart of the watermelon.What I learned from Bernie is that being rich is a state of mind. Some of us, no matter how much money we have, will never be free enough to eat only the heart of the watermelon. If you dont take the time to dangle your feet over the dock and enjoy lifes small pleasure, your work is probably hurting your life.For many years, I forgot that lesson Id learned as a kid on the loading dock. I was too busy making all the money I could.Well, Ive relearned it. I hope I have time left to enjoy the success of others and to take pleasure in the day. Thats the heart of the watermelon. I have learned again to throw the rest away.73. We learned from the second paragraph that the writer and his father were feeling_. A. relaxed B. worried C. hungry D. proud74.
