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 （宇宙）．They also think we will soon contact（联系） these beings （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 12billion 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 100billion galaxies（星系），"says Shostak．"And our galaxy，the Milky Way（银河系），has at least 100billion stars．Some planets going around these stars might be similar to the 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（太阳系）．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．"

82．What does Paragraph 2mainly talk about？　　
A．The age and size of the earth． B．The Milky Way．
C．Why intelligent life might exist． D．The only planet with intelligent life．
83．Why was it hard to look for signs of intelligent life in the universe in the past？　　
A．Because scientists didn't have telescopes．
B．Because there were not any powerful telescopes．
C．Because the astronomers were not interested in them．
D．Because the Milky Way didn't exist at that time．
84．Why haven't beings from space visited us yet according to Shostak？　　
A．Because they're afraid of us．
B．Because it's a long way away．
C．Because they don't want to see us．
D．Because they don't know how to use radio signals．
85．What does the underlined phrase"life forms"in the last paragraph mean？　　
A．Messages B．Tools
C．Intelligent beings D．Radio signals．

B
There are many reasons why I encourage people to travel，and I know that the experience will make one a better person．
I remember when I was traveling that I began to know the world better．The world is not just about me，my small town and home．Although you will meet different people from all over the world，you will realize that people are similar in their dreams，hopes and feelings．Enjoy exploring the different cultures，and you will also find that people are different in some of the things they do and how they live．Once you understand their ways，it need not be strange or scary．Often we read stories about other cultures in books．Only when we visit their areas，do we find that those stories are sometimes wrong．
One thing you may find out is that there are problems all over the world．We cannot just get money to send to these areas and hope that will work them out．The world should get involved（干预）and help wherever there are problems．People everywhere should be given a chance．It is so easy to ignore（忽视）this if one does not travel and explore．One can look around and see that so many people have many challenges worse than ours．One can realize that sometimes our biggest problems are not that big agter all．
On your journey you will meet lots of new friends．Talking to strangers and finding about their lives is a great way to spend your time．You will certainly be more confident after having to cope with problems and make many decisions along the way．
When you travel，you have to be on your own in some situations．You will surprise yourself by how well you can do that．All your special experiences could make an interesting book to read．It would be filled with all your adventures and special memories．
Traveling around and seeing so much happening in the world around us is a wonderful experience．If we could all just travel a little more and share our experiences，we would all be better people and the world would be a better place．

76．From Paragrahp 2，we can learn that　　．

The National Football League （NFL） is a professional American football league with 32teams in．How does one choose which team to support？Some people choose the team of their hometown，or where they now live，or the team that their parents or their parents or their friends follow．
A boy student from Oklahoma wrote a letter to each of the owners or presidents of the 32NFL teams．He would see what answers he got，and then choose his team．
Bill was home from school sick．It was the week before Christmas．He was"kind of bored"and needed something to do．So he asked his parents if he could write to every professional football team．Bill wrote the 32 letters by hand．
"We weren't quite sure what we could get back．He didn't really have one team that he wanted to hear from，"his mother said："He just wanted to see what kind of reply he'd get．"
A letter to the Carolina Panthers'owner Jerry Richardson was one of those posted．Bill wrote in his letter，"My family and I love football．They are fans of different teams．But I don't have a team to cheer for yet．I am ready to pick an NFL team to cheer on for lifetime!"
A few weeks later，Bill's mother was pulling into her driveway when a delivery man arrived with a box from the Panthers．When Bill came home，he excitedly opened the box．Inside he found a signed Carolina Panthers helmet（头盔）as well as a handwritten note from Jerry．
The team owner had written to Bill，"We should be honored（光荣的）if our Carolina Panthers became your team．We would make you proud of your joining us．"
Bill was overjoyed with what he got．He decided that from then on he would support the Panthers．He keeps the letter from Jerry in his bedroom．His mother says，"It's not the helmet they sent us．It's what they told us．"That is what mattered to Bill and why he chose to become a Panthers'fan．
