Still waiting for little green men to make contact? Don't hold your breath.
A leading astronomer has concluded there probably aren't any aliens out there – meaning we are absolutely alone in the universe.
Even though there may be tens of thousands of other distant planets similar in size to Earth, the conditions on them are likely to be too hard to support life-forms such as ET.
Dr Howard Smith, a senior astrophysicist at Harvard University, believes there is very little hope of discovering aliens and, even if we did, it would be almost impossible to make contact.
So far astronomers have discovered a total of 500 planets in distant solar systems – known as extrasolar systems – although they believe billions of others exist.
But Dr Smith points out that many of these planets are either too close to the sun or too far away, meaning their surface temperatures are so bad that they could not support life. Others have unusual orbits which cause vast temperature variations, making it impossible for water to exist – the most important thing for life.
Dr Smith said, "We have found that most other planets and solar systems are wildly different from our own. It means it is highly unlikely there are any planets with intelligent life close enough for us to make contact." But his suggestions contradict other leading scientists who have claimed aliens almost certainly exist.
Only last month Professor Stephen Hawking said the fact that there are billions of galaxies out there made it reasonable to think there were other life-forms in the universe.
Researchers from the University of London have recently suggested that aliens could be living on as many as 40,000 other planets. But Dr Smith said: "Any hope of contact has to be limited to a relatively tiny space around the Earth, reaching maybe 1,250 light years out from our planet, where aliens might be able to pick up our signals or send us their own. But communicating would still take decades or centuries."
【小題1】By saying ＂don’t hold your breath＂, the author advised the reader not to _____.

A．keep silentB．give upC．expect soD．be afraid
【小題2】Dr Smith concludes there probably aren’t any aliens because other planets _____.
A．a(chǎn)re too far away from the earth
B．a(chǎn)re different from the Earth in size
C．don’t have rich natural resources
D．don’t have a suitable living environment
【小題3】Researchers from the University of London are mentioned to show that ______.
A．they have better explanations about aliens
B．a(chǎn)liens certainly exist on many planets
C．they disagree with Dr Smith’s suggestion
D．a(chǎn)liens can pick up signals from the earth
【小題4】What’s the main idea of the text?
A．There must be other life forms in the universe.
B．We can communicate with aliens in decades.
C．The chances of finding aliens are slight.
D．Many other planets are quite different from the Earth.

My grandma whom we all called Nanny was a solid, first-generation, Italian immigrant. She came to this country with her family on a tiny ship during World War I when she was only 8 years old. During the trip she survived stormy seas，little food, and an attack by a German U-boat. After getting here，her large family worked hard to build a new life in America. They never had much money but were rich in love.
One day，when I was about 5 or 6 years old, my parents and brothers went on a trip. It was just me and Nanny in the house for the weekend. Nanny seemed so happy to be taking care of me all by herself. She made me a special breakfast that first morning. However, all I could do was to complain about how the food was not how Mom always made it. Nanny quietly put down the plate and went into the living room. I followed a minute later and saw that she had tears in her eyes. It was the first time I had ever seen my strong and proud grandmother cry and I was the one who had caused it.
I walked over to Nanny, climbed on her lap, and for the first time in my short life I did something else too. I apologized without being told to and asked Nanny to forgive me. She smiled, rubbed my head, and told me I was a good boy even though I didn’t feel like one then.

FU Yuan has been left at home with his grandparents since he was one month old. His mom and dad left to work in Fujian Province. For the past eight years, Fu has only seen his parents three times although they send home 500 yuan every two or three months.
Fu Xiaoyu, 16, has had to live alone since her grandmother passed away three years ago. Her parents do not want to renounce their jobs at a clothing factory in Guangdong Province. Nor can they afford the cost of sending her to a school in the city where they work.
These are just two of the 29 kids that 16-year-olds Huang Ruoqing and Zhang Linna at Beijing No 4 High School talked with this summer in Guixiang Village in Sichuan Province.
What Huang and Zhang learned from their three-day visit shocked them. They wrote down all the kids’ stories in a moving 40-page essay filled with statistical charts.(統(tǒng)計(jì)表)
In the poor village with a population of 2,118 people, 582 adults have left to find work, leaving 156 children without parents. Among these so-called left-behind kids, 88 percent of them live with their grandparents, five percent live with uncles or aunts and seven percent have to live on their own.
To Huang and Zhang’s surprise, 80 percent of the children said they love going to school. Even
though, some children have to walk along the hilly roads for two hours to get there.
However, for this village’s students studying is not their first task. Housework, such as helping feed pigs or buffalos(水牛) and taking care of old grandparents, younger sisters or brothers, takes up a considerable amount of their time.
Despite having to work hard at home, over 65 percent of the young interviewees would prefer their parents’ stay away working rather than returning to live with them.
“These kids are understanding and considerate and know how important money is for their families. Their little wishes like having dinner with their parents inspire us never to take what we have had for granted,” Zhang said.
【小題1】
Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE according to the passage?

A．Fu Xiaoyu’s parents can’t earn enough money to send her to school.
B．Huang Ruoqing and Zhang Linna talked with 29 children this summer during their research.
C．Some left-behind kids live with uncles, aunts, or grandparents and others live by themselves.
D．More than half of the left-behind kids prefer their parents’ staying away working.
【小題2】
It is implied but not directly stated that    
A．Fu Yuan’s parents send him 500 yuan every 2 or 3 months
B．Huang Ruoqing and Zhang Linna wrote an essay according to the left-behind kids’ stories
C．Many left-behind kids love studying and going to school in spite of many hardships
D．The time that the left-behind kids spend on housework is more than that on study
【小題3】
What’s the exact meaning of the underlined word “renounce”in the second paragraph?
A．KeepB．continueC．give upD．get
【小題4】
Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A．Kids Are Left AloneB．The True Story of Home Alone
