It was not unusual to find turtles feeding near the edge of the coral (珊瑚). But this was not an ordinary turtle. It stayed there on the surface, as 33 as foam (泡沫) or bone or sun dried coral, shining like oyster shell. The turtle stayed still for some time. So did the boy.

But to obtain proof is difficult.The main trouble is that our neighbor worlds, the bodies in the solar system appear to be unsuitable for advanced life forms. The Moon may be ruled out at once; it has hardly any atmosphere. Venus is little better; the surface temperature is extremely high and the atmosphere is mostly carbon dioxide. Mars with a very thin atmosphere and a severe shortage of water, may well support simple plant life but there seems no hope of finding animals, while the attractive Martians of the story tellers have long since been given up.Of course this has not stopped the flow of bright ideas for communicating with the supposed people on Mars. In the early nineteenth century the great mathematician Gauss suggested planting tree patterns in Siberia, so that the Martians would see them and replay suitably.Following up this idea, the Austrian scientist Karl Littrow proposed digging very wide ditches in the Sahara, triangular in patterns, and then filling them with petrol or some substance so that, when lit, the ditches would present Martian observers with a “flaming triangle” which would show the existence here of intelligent minds. Even better were the plans of Charles Cross, a French writer of the 1870s, who wanted to build a large mirror to reflect the suns rays and concentrate them on the surface of Mars, thereby making a vast burning glass. By swinging the mirror around, Cross explained it would be practicable to write words in the Martian deserts simply by burning the sand. For many years he bombarded (炮轰) the French government with literature about this plan and was very disappointed when no official interest was shown.48The opinion of the writer is that .Athere may be other intelligent beings in the universeBthere are other intelligent beings in the universeCpeople living on the earth are almost certainly the only intelligent beings in the universe Dpeople living on the earth are definitely the only intelligent beings in the universe49There is unlikely any life on Venus because .Athe surface is too hotBthe weather is too coldCit is severely short of waterDit has a very thin atmosphere50It seems that Mars .Amay be inhabited by attractive MartiansBmay have some vegetable lifeCcan have no life at all Dmay have both vegetable and animal life51Charles Cross felt .Aangry when the government paid little attention to his ideasBpleased when the government did take notice of his planCsurprised that the officials were interested in his suggestionDdisappointed at the lack of interest shown in his planD“There will always be bears, and there will always be bulls, but one can never know when one will dominate the other.” This quote by noted economist William Urster efficiently summarizes the economic theory of market cycles, in which periods of economic growth must inevitably be followed by periods of downturn, and vice versa. These respective periods play off one another, reinforcing a positive trend of growth over the long term.It is a tradition on Wall Street to refer to periods of sustained economic loss and recession as “bear” markets. The name is derived from the way a bear attacks its prey, by swinging downward with its claws, thus indicating the markets downward charted trend. The “bull” market, however, is explained as following the upward motion a bull uses to attack its enemy with its horns, signaling an upward trend for the economy. As the bear and the bull do battle, the investors find the economy quite unpredictable, and thus hard to apply the time honored philosophy of buying stocks when the market is low, so as to sell when the market is high, at a substantial profit.Such market timing is not necessary, however. Over the history of the American stock exchange, the long term pattern for the economy has always been up. In fact, the American economy, as gauged by the Standard and Poors Index, has grown at an astonishing 11% average per year. Thus, by simply investing at an appropriate time and keeping ones money in the market, long term investors who can stomach the roller coaster (忽好忽坏的) ride through the down periods will come out much richer for it in the long run.Few seem to have the patience and discipline to think long term in the market, however, preferring to gamble instead, by hopping in and out of stocks, hoping to catch the buy at the lowest point and the sell at the highest. It has been statistically proven, however, that such short term trading tends to result in losses over time. Aside from losses due to bad sales, tax consequences and brokerage fees chip away at these short sighted traders pockets, reinforcing the lesson. “Patience is a virtue,” its said, and the stock market certainly provides no exception.52It is argued that the least successful investors are those who .Ainvest only in the short termBtry to time market periods by constantly buying and sellingCmaintain a long term view of the economyDhave the discipline to invest for long term periods53The underlined word “gauged” means .Acalculated something by using a particular instrumentBtried to make a judgment about somethingCmade an estimate Dexpressed an opinion about something54What can be inferred from the text?AIf an investor has patience, he will see his money grow in the stock market.BWithout discipline, an investor cannot make money in the United States stock market.CThe US economy is best characterized by the metaphor of the bull.DEven when losses are suffered, a long term approach will end in profit.55The author uses the quote by Urster in the first paragraph in order to .Asupport his hypothesis by showing that a prominent figure agrees with himBuse an experts opinion as the basis of his argumentCexplain why the stock market is such an unpredictable institutionDintroduce the main point of the textEDirections: Read the text and choose the most suitable heading from this list for each paragraph of the text.
