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 and Alex are astronomers (天文学家). They believe intelligent life exists (存在) somewhere in the universe They also think we will soon communicate with these beings (人, 生物).
Why do seth and Alex think intelligent life exists on other planets? The first reason (理由) is time. Scientists believe the universe is about 12 billion years old. “This is long enough for other planets to have intelligent life.” say Seth and Alex. The second reason is size. The universe is huge. “We have known that there are at least 100 billion galaxies.” says Seth, “And our galaxy, the Milky Way, has at least 100 billion stars. Some planets going around these stars might be similar (相似的) to Earth.”
In the past. it was hard to look for signs (迹象) of intelligent life in the universe. But now, powerful telescopes (高倍望远镜) 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 Alex. “It’s a long way away. However, intelligent beings may communicate with us in other ways, 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 (工具) to receive their messages. However, this is changing. By 2025, we could communicate with other life forms in our universe and we might help each other.”

I was in line waiting to pay. In line there were two people before me. A little boy was buying some rather strange clothes. He chatted with anyone who was interested in the clothes and soon we learnt that he was going to a kindergarten(幼儿园) party. He had done a great job of putting together interesting costumes.
I noticed that the little boy was paying mostly with change(零钱). It seemed that he had robbed his pig bank(猪形储蓄罐) to do this shopping. However, the cashier told him he was short after counting all the money. The boy thought for a moment and said, “Please keep the shirt and I will come back with more money. “
It was clear that he had already used all the money he had and he was $ 8.00 short. The lady in front of me said, “Well, I could pay half of that. “I told the boy that I could pay the other half. We dug into our handbags. However, both of us only had ten-dollar bills(纸币) and we needed the cashier to get the change for us. Other shoppers began digging into their pockets to find some change. It was amazing and touching as all these strangers seemed to react(反应) with the same mind. All wanted to be of help. Within minutes the cashier said, “I have too much money.” The cashier didn’t need our ten-dollar bills. Then the lady in front of me, who had been the first to offer help, said, “Wait! I didn’t even get a chance to give anything!”
I smiled at her and said, “You did your share, because it was your idea and you started all this. “ The little boy smiled and thanked us. We wished him the best and he left. I was left with a good feeling. I had seen the love and goodness of others all around me. The woman in front of me smiled and said, “It sure feels good to give, doesn’t it?” I smiled back and said, “Yes !”
1.What is this passage mainly about?
A. Love and goodness. B. Culture and tradition.
C. Friendship and honesty. D. Communication and understanding.
2.Why did the writer and the woman both feel glad?
A. Because the boy had saved some money.
B. Because they both didn’t need to give anything.
C. Because the cashier didn’t look down on the boy.
