Is There Life on Earth

There was great excitement on the planet of Venus this week. For the first time Venusian scientists managed to land a satellite on the planet Earth, and it has been sending back signals as well as photographs ever since.

The satellite was directed into an area known as Manhattan(named after the great Venusian astronomer Prof. Manhattan, who first discovered it with his telescope 20,000 light years ago). Because of excellent weather conditions and extremely strong signals, Venusian scientists were able to get valuable information as to the feasibility(可行性)of a manned flying saucer(飞碟)landing on Earth. A press conference was held at the Venus Institute of Technology.

“We have come to the conclusion, based on last week’s satellite landing,” Pro. Zog said, “that there is no life on the Earth.”

“How do you know this?” the science reporter of the Venus Evening Star asked.

“For on thing, Earth’s surface in the area of Manhattan is composed of solid concrete and nothing can grow there. For another, the atmosphere is filled with carbon monoxide and other deadly gases and nobody could possibly breathe this air and survive.”

“What does this mean as far as our flying saucer program is concerned?”

“We shall have to take our own oxygen with us, which means heavier flying saucer than we originally planned.”

“Are there any other risks that you discovered in your studies?”

“Take a look at his photo. You see this dark black cloud floating over the surface of Earth?” We call this the Consolidated Edison Belt. We don’t know what it is made of, but it could give us a lot of trouble and we shall have to make further tests before we send a Venus Being there.”

“If what you say is true, won’t this set back the flying saucer program several years?”

“Yes, but we shall proceed as soon as the Grubstart gives us the added funds.”

“Pro. Zog, why are we spending billions and billions of zilches to land a flying saucer on Earth when there is no life there?

“Because if we Venusians can learn to breathe in an Earth atmosphere, then. We can live anywhere.”

1.The Venusians were excited this week because they __________.

A. landed a satellite with Venus astronauts on Earth

B. made a first-rate flying saucer

C. got an Earth Being to Venus

D. directed a satellite into Earth

2.According to Pro. Zong, why will the Venusians have to take their own oxygen with them?

A. Because they need it on their way to the planet of Earth

B. Because the Earth’s atmosphere is filled with deadly gases

C. Because deadly gases is far from enough on Earth

D. Because there is no air on the planet of Earth

3.The “dark black cloud” in the photograph refers to _________.

A. the polluted air floating over the surface of Earth

B. the mass of tiny drops of water floating above Earth

4.What’s the purpose of the writer?

A. to arouse the awareness of protecting the earth

B. to introduce a Venusians’ science program

C. to tell us the serious pollution of the Venus

D. to tell us an exciting Venusians’ exploration

Here’s an idea whose time has come: A flu shot that doesn’t require an actual shot.

For the first time, researchers have tested a flu vaccine patch (疫苗贴) in a human clinical experiment and found that it delivered as much protection as a traditional injection with a needle. Doctors and public health experts have high hopes that it will increase the number of people who get immunized (免疫的) against the flu.

Seasonal flu is responsible for up to half a million deaths around the world each year according to the World Health Organization. A team led by Georgia Tech engineer Mark Prausnitz has come up with an alternative method that uses “microneedles”. These tiny needles are so small that 100 of them, arranged in order on a patch, can fit under your thumb (拇指). Yet they’re big enough to hold vaccine for three types of flu.

None of the study volunteers had serious side effects. The groups that got patches had mild skin reactions that were not seen in the regular needle group, while the volunteers in the regular needle group were more likely to experience pain. Overall, 70 percent of the volunteers who got vaccine patches said they’d rather use them again than get a traditional flu shot. The study authors declared it a success on all fronts.

The biggest beneficiaries could be people in low- and middle-income countries, where flu vaccines are hard to come by. Reducing pain is nice, but other benefits—the patch costs less, is easier to transport, doesn’t require refrigeration, can be self-administered and doesn’t cause waste of needles—are even better.

“Microneedle Patches have the potential to become ideal candidates for vaccination programs,” wrote Katja Hoschler and Maria Zambon of Public Health England.

1.What is the passage mainly about?

A. A vaccine that cures people of their flu.

B. A team that does research on seasonal flu.

C. A patch that makes flu shots a thing of the past.

D. A method that makes traditional flu shot painless.

2.What do we know about the vaccine patch?

A. It causes slight side effects.

B. It causes serious skin reactions.

C. It delivers vaccine on the head.

D. It works badly on 30% of the volunteers.

3.The new patch has all the following benefits except that 　　　　 .

A. it is provided free of charge

B. it can be used without doctors

C. it can be kept at room temperature

D. it needs less care in transportation

4.What is Katja and Maria’s attitude towards the new shot?

A. Cautious. B. Favorable.

C. Unclear. D. Disapproving.

It has been a dream for 30 years but now the world’s first flying car is set to hit the roads this year.

Ever since the “Back to the Future” movies lit up our screens in the 1980s，designers have dreamt of cars that could take to the sky at the push of a button．And now pilots can order their own “roadable” plane for just £ 127,000.

The plane, which has fold-out wings that span(翼展)17.5ft，has a range of flying distance of 460 miles and can be up to 115 mph．Back on the land，it can also travel at“highway speeds”in car mode(模式)．

Fueling the 19ft. long plane couldn’t be simpler----you just drive it into a petrol station and fill it up．

A spokeswoman said, “You can keep you ‘light-sport airplane’ in your garage.But because it needs a short runway to take to the air, you will have to drive to your local airport，fly up to 460 miles, land，and drive directly to your destination．You will always be ready to drive or fly．"

The spokeswoman added,“Never let bad weather change your trip.You call simply divert(改道)and continue on the ground until the weather clears.”　　

There is no risk to you—This is only the chance for you to be the first at your home field to unfold your wings and fly into the future．
