However, we have not found life on any other planets yet.The earth is a planet and it goes around the sun. Seven other planets also go around the sun. None of them has an environment like that of the earth, so scientists do not think they will find life on them. The sun and its planets are called the solar system, and our solar system is a small part of a much larger group of stars and planets, called the Galaxy or the Milky Way. There are billions of stars in the Galaxy, and our sun is only one of them.Scientists have also discovered many other galaxies in the universe. They are very far away and their light has to travel for many years to reach us. So how large is the universe? It is impossible to imagine.Scientists have sent spaceships to the plant of Mars to take photos. They even have sent spaceships to travel outside the solar system. However, no spaceship has travelled far enough to reach near other stars in our Galaxy. Scientists have always asked the question: With so many stars in the universe, are we alone, or is there life out there in space? Have there been visitors to the earth from other planets? Why has no one communicated with us? We do not know the answers…yet.Questions:1. Have we found life on any other planets?___________________________________________________________________________2.

Then she encouraged us to write about our experiences at the camp.Back at school, David wrote a story about the life of a sixteen–year–old boy, and it came out as a book in 2012. Many young people love his book, and as a result, David has become a successful young writer.David has been very lucky because his hobby has brought him pleasure and success, but writing is not his only hobby.

I'm sure it'll be fantastic to see the city from the top.Daming: But I'm so tired, and it's so hot here. I don't want to climb. The lake looks nice and cool.

I'm so hungry and thirsty.Lingling: I think it's better to have our picnic at the top of the hill.Tony: Come on! Let's not waste any more time.Daming: All right. I hope it will be cooler up there.Questions:1. Is the Beihai Park noisy?。
