LONDON (Reuters) – Visitors to London always have to be on the look out for pickpockets, but now there’s a more positive phenomenon-put pockets．

Aware that people are suffering in the economic crisis, 20 former pickpockets have turned over a new leaf and are now searching London’s tourist sites slipping money back into pockets．

Anything from 5 pounds ($8) to 20 pound notes is being secretly put in unguarded pockets or open handbags in Trafalgar Square, Covent Garden and other busy spots．

The project, which runs until the end of August in London before being rolled out nationwide to major UK cities, is being funded by Talk Talk, which says it wants to brighten up people’s lives in unusual ways．

“It feels good to give something back for a change-and Britons certainly need it in the current economic climate,” said Chris Fitch, a former pickpocket who now heads Talk Talk’s put pocketing project．“Every time I put money back in someone’s pocket, I feel less guilty about the fact I spent many years taking it out．”

“The activity will avoid the City and Canary Wharf financial areas as we want to give the money to those who actually need it．” The put pockets have actually been told to avoid people that seem very well-off．

The put pockets are given a specific ID to show to public if caught in the act, and have plain-clothed guards who will explain the situation if spotted．

London’s police have been informed of the plan so put pocket aren’t arrested．The project will see at least 100,000 pounds given away．

A．They are given a special ID．        B．Plain-clothes guards are around．

C．The police have been informed of the plan．

D．They only work at tourist sites．

2.The put pocketing project was intended to ________．

A．give away 100,000 pounds

A．The project is funded by Talk talk．

B．The project will run until the end of August．

C．Chris Fitch now heads the put pocking project．

On a clear night, the sky is a wonderful thing. Is there life out there somewhere? Is there another place like Earth where life might exist? If so, where is it? And how far away is it?

Recently, the Kepler spacecraft found “22b”, a planet about six hundred light years away. It is the first planet in a “habitable zone” outside the solar system. That means the planet orbits(环绕) a star like our sun, but it is not too close to it, nor too far away. Because of this position, Kepler-22b might have water, one of the main things needed for life. The newly-discovered planet is about two and a half times larger than the Earth. It is closer to its star than we are to the Sun, but 22b’s sun is smaller than ours, and doesn’t produce as much heat. Scientific instruments show the new planet could be made of gases, rocks or some kinds of liquids.

The Kepler spacecraft was named in honor of Johannes Kepler, the seventeenth century German astronomer. It was designed to examine a small part of the Milky Way galaxy(星系)and search for places like the Earth. It was made to inspect over 150,000 stars and measure how bright they are. It looks to see if a star’s brightness gets less over a short time.

If a planet passes between Kepler and the star, it blocks out part of the light. That is what suggested to scientists that there is at least one planet orbiting the star. The instruments on Kepler show the new planet as a small, black dot moving across its sun. An important part of the Kepler experiment is on the Earth. After the spacecraft gathers information, scientists use the telescopes on the ground.

Scientists have found over 2,300 new planets since Kepler was launched. Most are much larger, but it is the new planet’s distance from its star that is important. For life to possibly exist there, the planet’s temperature must not be too hot or too cold.

1. What can we learn about Kepler-22b?

A. Water must have existed on it.

B. It takes humans about 600 years to get there.

C. It is made of gases, rocks and plenty of liquids.

D. It is the first planet in outer space where life may survive

2. The Kepler spacecraft was sent into space to

A. show honor to Johannes Kepler

B. observe the changes of a star’s brightness

C. look for Earth-like planets in the Milky Way galaxy

D. measure the brightest star among 150.000 stars

3.In Paragraph 4 the author mainly tells us

A. how the Kepler system works

B. if the Kepler system sees a new planet

C. how the Kepler system shows a new planet

D. why an important part of the Kepler system remains on the Earth

4. What can we infer from the passage?

A. Life may exist on the new planet in another form.

B. It is colder on the new planet because its sun is smaller.

C. Life can’t exist on planets which are much larger than the Earth.

D. The new planet’s distance from its star decides on the possibility of life existence.
