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 sill 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 allow scientists to discover smaller planets—the size of Mars or Earth—in other solar systems. These planets might have intelligent life.

Have beings from space already visited Earth? “Probably not,” says Shostak. “It’s a long way away. 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.”

【4】 Why haven’t beings from space visited us yet according to Shostak?

26、The human brain weighs about 1.4 kilograms, but it can hold much more information than most computers. However, there is another difference between humans and computers.

Computers don't forget information they are given, but humans often do. No one remembers everything, and luckily we don't usually have to. But everyone can improve their memory if they want to. Here are some suggestions.

◆Try to use new information immediately（立刻）. For example, if you meet someone who says "Hi! I'm Carlos," don't just say "Hello." Repeat the person's name. Say"____"

◆Break a big number into smaller parts. For example, it's hard to memorize (记忆) 109244153. But if you break it into three parts--109/244/153—it becomes easier.

◆Write out what you need to remember over and over again. This will help you keep it in mind longer, especially for memorizing formulas (公式) or facts.

◆Always review information. If you bring what you've learned back to your mind, they become easier to remember. For example, before you go to sleep, it’s a good idea to review the new things you learned that day.

◆Discuss with a friend. It is always easier to remember things through discussions. You can have a discussion about what's right and what's wrong, and it will lead to the right answer.

◆Never tell yourself that you have a bad memory. You can always do something to help improve your memory. And everyone's memory gets better if they use it often enough.

All of the suggestions are helpful. If you follow them, you are certain to improve your memory.

27、   Have you ever noticed the black and white bars on a book？Do you know what they are used for?

They are bar-codes（条形码）used in most products. If you go to a supermarket，you can see almost every product with a bar-code on it. Bar-codes have information about the product, such as name and production date.It's an easy and convenient way to know about the products. Just scan the bar-code and everything is clear.

The first use of a bar-code in a supermarket checkout system was on a pack of American Wrigley Company chewing gum in 1974.Beyond supermarkets, bar-codes are needed everywhere:for renting cars, for luggage checks on a plane, for parcels(包裹) you send. Life would be rather difficult without bar-codes.Most of our things would get lost in the post.

Bar-codes change as well.Bar-codes in the past were 1-D(one-dimensional空间), but now there are 2-D bar-codes,such as QR code.Since 2009, QR has been used on Chinese train tickets. People can enter stadiums,cinemas and theaters by holding certain types of bar-codes.

With these small codes, life is getting much easier for us.

If you find these bar-code things boring, a bar-code building might be more up your street. In St Petersburg, Russia, there is a building designed like a bar-code.It looks strange, but it's actually a shopping mall. There are games too. Bar-code Monsters is a mobile phone game. You have to scan bar-codes and find the monsters!

【1】Bar-codes were first used in ________.

A.1974 in the UK B.1974 in the US C.2009 in China D.2009 in Russia

【2】The underlined word “scan”might mean “________” in Chinese.

A.复印 B.展示 C.描写 D.扫描

【3】From Paragraph 3 and 4, we can learn that ________.

A.bar-codes are very useful in our daily life B.our things will get lost without bar-codes

C.bar-codes make our life rather difficult D.we can’t live without bar-codes

【4】Which of the following is NOT true about the bar-code building?

A.It looks like a bar-code. B.It’s in St Petersburg, Russia.

C.It’s used as a shopping mall. D.Its name is Bar-code Monsters.

【5】The best title of this passage is________.

A.From 1-D Bar-codes to 2-D Bar-codes B.Why Bar-codes are Black and White

C.Small Codes that Make a Big Difference D.What if the World Doesn’t Have a Bar-code

28、阅读下面短文，根据中文首字母、音标或语境的提示，在每个空格内填入一个适当的单词或短语，要求所填的单词意义准确，拼写正确。

Friends are important in our life, because no one wants to be lonely. However, some people have difficulty 【1】   (make) friends and they often feel lonely. What’s the reason behind that? 【2】to a new study from Chicago University, the reason is that this kind  of people  have  brains different 【3】common  people. And they often feel unsafe when 【4】  (face) strangers.

Does that mean they have no way to become happy again? No, don’t worry. Scientists of this study have 【5】(think) up ways to help these people deal with their loneliness. They provided four steps for 【6】 (get) out of loneliness.

The first step is to accept social invitations even if you don’t want to go.

“It’s not enough for people just to get in 【7】 /tʌtʃ/ with others online. That’s because most people don’t show their true selves there,” said Dr. Cacioppo, one of this study’s scientists. Another step is to get an action plan. As “ actions speak【8】 (loud) than words”, people need to be active to 【9】  /kəˈmjuːnɪkeɪt/ with others. They also need to meet people with the same interests. Also, they should try to expect the best from each activity. After all, “tomorrow is【10】 [əˈnʌðə] day”.

29、I know a Catherine who is smart, educated and interesting. But I avoid her because she never ____________ complaining (抱怨) ! For years, I fought against my feelings, because I really like and admire her, but I’ve found I just can’t be her friend. Her world is _______________ “buts…”. The trip would have been nice, but the drive was too long. The food was good, but the light of the restaurant was too _______________. The hotel was too hot, the bed hurt her back and the room service was too slow. Her complaints were ______________ changing me. Months ago, my best friend Daisy was listening to me complaining about Catherine _______________ she just became really angry. “Either break up with her, or leave me alone.” She shouted at me, “I’m tired of listening to your complaining.” Her honesty surprised me, and I began to keep myself away from Catherine. Later, I did ______________ her.

Now I try to remain happy and positive ( 积 极 的 ) about life, and find friends of the same. There’s been scientific research lately. It shows that people who find ______________ to be thankful for their lives are actually happier, and I believe that is true. Endless complaining seems to control your life if you let it come into your brain. And too much complaining will actually make your life ______________ .

Some people take “gratitude ( 感激之情) walks” every day, where they _______________ their lives in a positive way. By developing a grateful attitude, you can be turned away from what’s troubling you, and __________ what makes you happy. Then you will have a beautiful life.
