One way to make an egg stand up is to break the thick end．This is an old way to fool others and Columbus once used that．Another way is to shake a fresh egg and hold it upright a few minutes so the yellow part of the egg will come down to the bottom．The yellow part of the egg is heavier than the white and will make the egg heavier at the bottom．You should be able to make it stand on its end（頂端）if you do everything tight．The third way is to place a little salt on a piece of white cloth before the test（試驗）．The egg will stand in the salt，and your friends may think you are clever if they do not see the salt．

Fresh eggs will go down in water，If you find that an uncooked（生的）egg sits on water，you will know that it is made a long time ago，and has become bad．A fresh egg will not go down in salt water．Put in your fresh egg and watch it．

A magic can be played with a fresh egg，some salt and a glass full of water．First you fill the glass with some water，then put in two spoons of salt and move the spoon round and round until the salt is gone．Next you softly 6u fresh water in the glass．Please fill the water against the side of the glass so it will mix very little with salt water．It will not fall to the bottom because the salt is heavy，and it will not rise to the top through the fresh water，either．Your egg will stay in a place at the centre of the glass．

（    ）1．If you stand an egg on its end，it will _______

After 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（液態(tài)）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（萬億）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 can’t live that long, but robotic explorers could make the job easier. However, our fastest spacecraft don’t come anywhere near that one-tenth light-speed mark.

At present, scientists don’t know what the surface might be like on Gliese 581g. What they know is that the planet is at the sight distance from its star to have liquid water. It’s also at the right distance to have an atmosphere that could protect the water if it is on the surface.

Although spacecraft won’t be getting there anytime soon, one way to look for life on Gliese 581g is to turn our radio telescopes（望遠鏡）towards the planet and search for radiation（放射）. By studying the radiation, scientists would find out about the chemicals（化學物質(zhì)）around the planet and discover it Gliese 581g has an atmosphere. If it has one, studying the atmosphere would give us a good idea if the planet has life or not. But it’ll 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.

1. 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.

2.According to the article, Gliese 581g ________.

    A. is at the right distance from its star   B. moves around the earth

    C. is as far away from us as the moon       D. can be reached in about 220 years

3. Paragraph 5 is mainly about ______.

    A. the possibility of living on Gliese 581g

    B. the kinds of chemicals around Gliese 581g

    C. the way of looking for life on Gliese 581g

    D. the aim of studying the radiation on Gliese 581g

4.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 Planet

    C. Gliese 581g and Its Star             D. Gliese 581g and Radiation
