He still couldnt think of what he wanted his Christmas gift to be. He wondered how Father Christmas would know what to bring him if he didnt know himself.As he was sitting up in bed, Bunny heard a big noise on the roof (屋顶) and a sound downstairs. It was Father Christmas, he realized. Bunny jumped out of bed and raced down the hall to the stairs hoping to have a look at the old man with his own eyes.By the time Bunny reached the bottom of the stairs, though, everything was again silent. Beautiful gifts were piled (堆积) under the Christmas tree, but Father Christmas was gone. He looked for him for a few minutes, but it was already too late. Bunny turned to climb back upstairs when he heard a cry.“Hello,” said Bunny. “Is somebody there?”He was answered by another cry. Bunny looked around the big pile of gifts to see what was making the noise. Right under the tree was a funny looking brown animal with big feet and sad eyes. Bunny might have mistaken it for a dog, if it hadnt been for the antlers (鹿角) on its head.“Are you a reindeer (驯鹿)?”asked Bunny.“Yes,” replied the animal, “my name is Ralph.”“And you were pulling Father Christmas sled (雪橇)?”“I was until I got airsick,” replied Ralph, “Im afraid I wasntcut out forthe job.

This is the question that a new science fiction (科幻) programme, Alien Planet (异形星球), tries to answer.In the 94-minute programme, two robots explore (探索) a fictional planet. The planet, Darwin IV, has two suns, and is smaller and hotter than Earth. It seems likely that Darwin IV was covered with large oceans a few million years ago, just like Earth. But because of climate (气候) changes, the oceans disappeared. Darwin IV is also home to many alien plants and animals. The robots look at the land and air on the planet, and then send information to a team of scientists on Earth. The programme is based on the bookExpeditionby Wayne Barlowe.However,Alien Planetis not just normal science fiction, because it is based on real scientific information. A team of designers and scientists carefully designed the animals and plants that could live on Darwin IV. The team included famous scientists such as Professor Stephen Hawking and Dr James Garvin. In the programme, the scientists explain the science behind Darwin IV. They explain why the animals have certain features (特点).Here are four alien life animals fromAlien Planet:UnthAn Unth is about 2.5 metres tall and has two legs. It runs fast and lives on the ground. It eats plants, and lives and travels in a group.Trunk SuckerA Trunk Sucker has a long nose and is about 1 metre long. It lives in the forest and drinks the juice from trees. It has wings and flies like a bird.DaggerwristA Daggerwrist is about 2 metres long. It jumps from tree to tree like a monkey and eats other animals.Arctic Sedge SliderAn Arctic Sedge Slider is 10 metres tall and feeds on grass-like plants growing near water.Alien Planetis an exciting programme and it really makes the science come alive. I really think it is worth watching.32. Whats the purpose ofAlien Planet?A. To discover other unknown planets.B. To find out if there is life on another planet.C.
