Questioning the existence of aliens is something that scientists have done for decades. In fact, most people do believe that aliens exist in some fashion. The main necessities for life are water and some form of energy source. Not surprisingly, there are some planets, exoplanets and moons that fit the bill. Here are several best chances at finding life in the universe.
◆TRAPPIST-1
TRAPPIST-1 is a planetary system a few dozen light-years away, whose discovery was announced in early 2017. This system consists of seven Earth-like exoplanets orbiting an "ultra-cool" star, and it is one of our shots at finding possible life beyond our own solar system.
◆Titan
Titan is the largest moon of Saturn, the sixth planet from our Sun. This moon could potentially harbor life but possibly not in the sense that we think. Titan does not exactly fit the description of being in a typical habitable zone.
Titan has water, and it has liquid. It just doesn't have liquid water. The water on this moon is completely solid because of the extremely cold temperature.
◆Europa
Europa is one of Jupiter's moons here in our own solar system. It is another candidate due to its potential to hold liquid water. Europa is thought to have all the necessities for life including water, energy sources, and the right chemical build-up.
◆Mars
The Red Planet, the fourth from the Sun, is probably one of the most talked-about potential candidates for extraterrestrial(地球外的) life and even for human colonization. Despite some different voices, finding extraterrestrial life on Mars really is a serious possibility.
We know by now that we won't find little green men or any intelligent form of life that we understand. However, there is evidence that there was and may still be microscopic life on the small red planet.
1. The common point of these celestial bodies is that _______.
A. solid water exists on them respectively
B. life might exist on each of them
C. they all contain liquid water
D. each of them has living things on it
2. Which celestial body could have life different from human imagination?
A. TRAPPIST-1. B. Titan. C. Europa. D. Mars.
3. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Europa is the most talked-about potential candidate for extraterrestrial life.
B. TRAPPIST-1 is the only body that contains life beyond the solar system.
C. All the scientists do believe that aliens exist in some manner.
D. There is proof that life existed on the celestial body Mars.
B
About a month after I joined Facebook, I got a call from Lori Goler, a highly regarded senior director of marketing at eBay. She made it clear this was a business call. “I want to apply to work with you at Facebook,” she said. “Instead of recommending myself, I want to ask you: What is your biggest problem, and how can I solve it?”
My jaw hit the floor. I had hired thousands of people over the previous decade and no one had ever said anything remotely like that. People usually focus on finding the right role for themselves, with the implication that their skills will help the company. Lori put Facebook’s needs front and center. It was a killer approach. I responded, “Recruiting is my biggest problem. And, yes, you can solve it.”
Lori never dreamed she would work in recruiting, but she jumped in. She even agreed to trade earnings for acquiring new skills in a new field. Lori did a great job running recruiting and within months was promoted to her current job, leading People@Facebook.
The most common metaphor for careers is a ladder, but this concept no longer applies to most workers. As of 2010, the average American had eleven jobs from the ages of eighteen to forty-six alone. Lori often quotes Pattie Sellers, who came up with a much better metaphor: “Careers are a jungle gym, not a ladder.”
As Lori describes it, there’s only one way to get to the top of a ladder, but there are many ways to get to the top of a jungle gym. The jungle gym model benefits everyone, but especially women who might be starting careers, switching careers, getting blocked by external barriers, or reentering the workforce after taking time off. The ability to create a unique path with occasional dips, detours (弯路), and even dead ends presents great views of many people, not just those at the top. On a ladder, most climbers are stuck staring at the butt of the person above.
4. Why did Lori make the call?
A. She helped Facebook to solve the biggest problem.
B. She wanted to make a business deal with Facebook.
C. She tried to ask for a pay rise in Facebook.
D. She wanted to become an employee in Facebook.
5. What impressed “I” by Lori?
A. Lori was good at running recruiting.
B. Lori attached great importance to Facebook’s needs.
C. Lori jumped in Facebook with no adequate experience.
D. Lori was skilled in marketing at eBay.
6. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Now all people don’t tend to climb the ladder.
B. None on the ladder can enjoy the great views.
C. Jungle gyms offer limited exploration for employees.
D. A pregnant woman, jobless, benefits little from the jungle gyms.
7. What is the best title of the passage?
A. It’s a Jungle Gym, Not a Ladder.
B. Facebook’s Biggest Problem.
C. Applying for a Job in Facebook.
D. A Jungle Gym is Better than a Ladder.
C
Careers in zoology are extremely varied and unique, and can provide incredible learning and work opportunities for anyone devoted to animal studies and welfare. Zoology, or the study of animals, is a wide field with many specialties, including research, conservation, veterinary (兽医的) medicine, and the care of animals. For people with a love of animals and some training, dreams of careers in zoology may come true.
Some careers in zoology focus on research and scientific studies. These careers may allow those with a good theoretical science background to develop and run studies that improve human understanding of the animal world. Research in zoology can help create safer and more effective products for animals or can teach humans more about animal behavior in order to aid in conservation, breeding programs, and habitat preservation.
Careers in zoology that focus on conservation attach great importance to the continued survival and increased protection of animal species. Conservationists may work with political groups or governments to help make laws to protect and preserve animals, or may work in the field gathering information on potential threats to the health of global ecosystems. Some conservationists work in educational fields, trying to improve human efforts to save animals from extinction.
Animals are subject to illness and injury, and some careers in zoology help to create a safe, stable animal population. Veterinary medicine is an important specialty field, and may take several years of intensive training to qualify as a certified veterinarian. While many veterinarians focus on the small-animal practice of domestic pets, vets in rural areas often work with large farm animals and more adventurous veterinarians may work with exotic species in zoos and wildlife preserves. .
Humans love to observe animals, and modern-day zoos and wildlife preserves help meet that interest while providing facilities to assist with conservation programs. Zoology careers in zoos can range from overseeing breeding programs, to creating the proper diet for a deer, to cleaning the tiger’s cage. Many volunteer and entry-level jobs are available for people that love animals.
8. What is the purpose of researching on animals in zoology?
A. To help governments make laws.
B. To improve researchers’ scientific knowledge.
C. To create safe and effective products for humans.
D. To educate people to protect animals.
9. What can careers in zoology that focus on veterinary medicine help?
A. Better understand animals. B. Protect animals’ health.
C. Clean the animals’ cages. D. Increase the number of animals.
10. Which of the following shows the structure of the whole passage?
(P1=paragraph 1; P2= paragraph 2; P3= paragraph 3; P4= paragraph 1; P5= paragraph 5;)
11. What does the passage mainly present?
A. Volunteers’ passion for zoology.
B. A new idea of careers in zoology.
C. Different types of careers in zoology.
D. Effective measures of animal protection.

"A question brought me to the point of ending my life when I was fifty years old. My question was the simplest one that lies in every person. It is the question without which life is impossible: Why do I live? 16 Is there anything in my life that will not be destroyed by my death?"
These are the words of the famous Russian writer Leo Tolstoy. Many people ask these difficult questions. And they struggle to find meaning in their life. Tolstoy spent his whole life trying to answer difficult questions like these. 17
In the 1850s, Leo Tolstoy wrote his first stories. He wrote about his experiences in the military. He also told stories about when he was a child. 18 He was finally successful. He earned respect from many wealthy and intelligent men, who talked a lot about faith and the meaning of life. But soon he found they were proud and they made very bad moral choices.
19 He opened a school for the children of people who worked on his land. They were very poor. He wanted to help them because he thought they were more honest than the wealthy people he knew.
Tolstoy learned many things from his workers. He respected how they worked hard to provide for their families. 20 So in 1862, Leo Tolstoy married a young woman named Sonya Behrs. The next 15 years were the best years of Tolstoy's life. It was during this time that he wrote his most famous books-- War and Peace and Anna Karenina. They communicate what he thought was the answer to all his questions-- humans were supposed to live a simple life and take care of their families.
A. These works were published and Tolstoy became a well-known writer.
B. How can I realize my dream if I have one?
C. Why do I wish for anything, or do anything?
D. He gained a lot of inspirations which had great influence on his following actions.
E. His search for answers influenced his writing.
F. So in the 1860s, Tolstoy tried a different way to find the meaning of life.
G. He began to believe that marriage and family would give his life meaning.

I come from one of those families where you have to yell at the dinner table to get in a word. Everyone has a strong 21 , and talks at the same time, and no one has a 22 leading to heated arguments. We often talk or even debate with each other on different topics.
23 a family like mine has made me more 24 about the world around me, making me tend to question anything anyone tells me. But it has also made me realize that I’m not a good listener. And when I say “listening”, I’m not 25 to the nodding-your-head-and- 26 -answering-Uh-huh-or-Ooh-I-see variety. I mean the kind of listening where you find yourself deeply 27 with the person you’re speaking with, when his story becomes so 28 that your world becomes less about you and more about him. No, I was never very good at that.
I spent summer in South Africa two years ago. I worked for a good non-profit 29 called Noah, which works 30 on behalf of children affected by AIDS. But 31 you asked me what I really did in South Africa, I’d tell you one thing: I listened, and I listened. Sometimes I 32 , but mostly I listened.
And had I not spent two months 33 , I might have missed the 34 moment when a quiet little girl at one of Noah’s community centers, orphaned (孤儿) at the age of three, whispered after a long 35 , “I love you.”
36 that summer, I knew how to hear. I could sit down with anyone and hear their 37 and nod and respond at the 38 time —but most of the time I was 39 about the next words out of my own mouth. Ever since my summer in South Africa, I have noticed that it’s in those moments when my mouth is closed and my 40 is wide open that I’ve learned the most about other people, and perhaps
about myself.

Good morning, everyone! Today, please allow me to deliver a brief speech on the career I will take up in the future. Undoubtedly, I have great expectations for the future job as everyone else does. My dream career is to be a tour guide.
Since my early age, I have been admiring tour guides who travel worldwide, enjoying the spectacular scenery, appreciating different cultures and enriching their life experience at the same time. Besides, this career is financially rewarding as well so that I can live a well-off life. Additionally, I will have more opportunities to meet people from all walks of life, which is both challenging and interesting.
To be a good guide is no easy job, for it requires years of arduous practice and continual learning. It is the wide range of knowledge, professionalism and dedication that mould a highly qualified tour guide. Therefore, my dream cannot be fulfilled without industrious work to pave the way.
Thank you for listening!
