Astronomers （天文学家） say they are on the point of finding planets like Earth orbiting other stars, which is a key step in determining if we are alone in the universe．
A top NASA official and other leading scientists say that within four or five years they should discover the first Earth-like planet where life could develop, or may have already．A planet close to the size of Earth could even be found sometime this year．
At the annual American Astronomical Society conference this week, each discovery involving so-called “exoplanets” —those outside our solar system — pointed to the same conclusion：Quiet planets like Earth where life could develop probably are plentiful．
NASA’s Dew Kepler telescope and a lot of new research from the suddenly hot and competitive exoplanet field caused noticeable buzz at the meeting．Scientists are talking about being at “an incredible special place in history” and closer to answering the question．“Are we alone? For the first time, there’s an optimism that sometime in our lifetimes we’re going to get to the bottom of that,” said Simon Worden，an astronomer who heads NASA’s Ames Research Center．“If I were a betting man, which I am, I would bet we’re not alone．”
“These are big questions that reflect upon the meaning of the human race in the universe,” the director of the Vatican Observatory, the Rev．Jose Funes, said Wednesday in an interview at this week’s conference．
Worden told The Associated Press: “I would certainly expect in the next four or five years we’d have an Earth-sized planet in the habitable （可居住的） zone．”
1.What is very important in determining if we are alone in the universe?
A．Finding an Earth-like planet． B．Orbiting other stars．
C．Developing new telescopes． D．Finding more exoplanets．
2.What’s an exoplanet?
A．It’s a planet like Earth． B．It’s a planet outside our solar system．
C．It’s a planet orbiting the sun． D．It’s a planet where life have developed．
3.The underlined phrase “get to the bottom of” probably means “__________”．
A．understand fully
B．make full use of
C．search for
D．do more research on
4.From the passage we can learn that __________．
A．an Earth-like planet has been found
B．it’s been proved we are not alone in the universe
C．Jose Funes has found the meaning of the human race in the universe
D．the discovery of an Earth-like planet could happen in the near future

When movie star Scarlett Johansson was photographed naming in Los Angeles recently, she attracted a lot of attention; for the 27-year-old actress was wearing Vibram FiveFingers, so called because they look more like gloves than shoes, with a space for each toe.
Strange though they may look, these so-called barefoot shoes, which reproduce the effect of barefoot running but with less pain, are just one brand in a range of minimalist footwear. These super-thin sports shoes are causing a stir in the world of running and fitness. Why? Because some experts believe they could make you a better, more efficient runner and that traditional trainers could be doing you more harm than good.
"Wearing a shoe that has lots of cushioning and support affects the way your body naturally moves and studies suggest that this carries a higher risk of injury," explains Matt Wallden, an athlete performance expert. "But with barefoot shoes, the foot can actually feel the firmness and shape of the ground, which allows your body to respond effectively.'"
But before you rush out to invest in minimalist footwear, be careful. These kinds of shoes are not meant for everyone, or at least not straight away.
"Ordinary sports shoes with support are good for beginners whose bodies are not used to the impact of running," explains Patrick Davoren, former Olympic athlete. "If you are not in great condition, then running in minimalist footwear may cause injuries and will turn a lot of people off exercise and running.
If you are currently injured, and figures show that in any given year 65% of all runners are, it can be tempting to try anything that promises to get you back on the road, trail, or beach. But barefoot running is not a method of treating injury nor is it a magical way of suddenly turning you into a great athlete.
Even if you're used to running, when you start using minimalist shoes you should build up your distance gradually. Start_off'by doing just 10% of what you'd normally run and increase the distance by no more than 10% every week. And a word of warning - you may never have soft feet again
1.The Vibram FiveFingers are shoes ______.
A．specifically designed for women
B．that have lots of cushion inside
C．safest for people who enjoy sports
D．that are much thinner than normal sports shoes
2.The underlined word "they" in paragraph 2 refers to ________.
A．experts B．feet C．shoes D．runners
3.According to Matt Wallden, the new shoes ________.
A．make feet more sensitive to the running surface
B．will produce immediate improvements
C．force your body to move less naturally
D．increase the chances of getting hurt
4.The author suggests that new users of Vibram FiveFingers should ________.
A．run in the shoes every day at top speed
B．begin with a shorter running distance than normal
C．occasionally run barefooted to harden their feet
D．make sure they are already very fit before using them
5.Where would you probably read this article?
A．A travel book. B．A movie website.
C．A sports magazine. D．A science journal.

Chinese female scientist Tu Youyou won the 2015 Nobel Prize in medicine on October 5 for her discoveries concerning a novel treatment against Malaria（疟疾）. This is the first Nobel Prize given to a Chinese scientist for work carried out within China.
Tu shared the prize with Irish-born William Campbell and Satoshi Omura of Japan, who were honored for their revolutionary anti-roundworm treatment. 84-year-old Tu is awarded this prize for her contribution to cutting the death rate of malaria, reducing patients’ suffering and promoting mankind’s health. Although she received several medical awards in the past, the 2015 Nobel Prize is definitely the most privilege reward that recognizes Tu’s dedication and perseverance in discovering artemisinin（青蒿素）, the key drug that battles malaria-friendly parasites（寄生虫）.
However, her route to the honor has been anything but traditional. She won the Nobel Prize for medicine, but she doesn’t have a medical degree or a PhD. In China, she is even being called the “three-noes” winner: no medical degree, no doctorate, and she’s never worked overseas. No wonder her success has stirred China’s national pride and helped promote confidence of native Chinese scientists.
The fact that Tu has none of these three backgrounds reminds us that science should be more accessible to all. One shall be able to become a scientist no matter what kind of background he or she comes from, as long as one dives into scientific research. There have been discussions on people who really love science but are never able to achieve much during their whole life. Their contributions can never be ignored. They work so hard to prove the wrong way so that the future researchers will be closer to the right one.
As the first Chinese mainland Nobel Prize Winner of natural science award, Tu’s record-breaking winning also serves as a reminder to those who are too eager for instant success. Science is never about instant success. Tu spent decades on scientific research before its value is officially acknowledged. There is no way to measure how much one devotes to science and compare it with how much reward he or she may get.
1.It can be concluded from the text that ______.
A. Tu worked home and abroad to conduct her research
B. Tu got the Nobel Prize for her anti-roundworm treatment
C. The Nobel Prize is the first award to recognize her work
D. Her discovery of artemisinin has helped to cut Malaria death rate
2.The author seems to agree that a person who is more likely to become a scientist is the one with _____
A. a sense of national pride
B. Relevant academic knowledge
C. a desire to achieve success
D. enthusiasm for scientific research
3.In writing the passage, the author intends to ___________.
A. inform readers of the news and make comments
B. discourage the pursuit of instant success in science
C. remind readers of the principles of scientific research
D. praise the award winner and encourage scientific research
