The search for life outside the Earth may have moved to a new and exciting level．A team of astronomers（天文学家）said they have found a new planet that has many important parts similar to those of the Earth．

The planet, which travels around a red dwarf star（红矮星）called Gliese 581, has the right size and temperature．Most importantly, the planet lies in the suitable living area of the star, which makes the planet not too hot or too cold．

Scientists say the new world, Gliese 581C is five times larger than the Earth．It may have water since it is in the right place for the red dwarf to survive in space．

Swiss scientist Michel Mayor said it is an important step on the way to find possible life in the space and there are still lots of questions．

For more than ten years, astronomers and scientists have been keeping their eyes on the space in search for another Earth, another world that can support life or already has it．

According to records, the first discovery of extra solar（太阳系）planet going around a normal star was made in 1995．Since then, the number of newly discovered worlds has increased to about 200．But they are just dead with lifeless bodies．

The Gliese 581C came into our eyes and mankind has reason to celebrate．After all, we may have living neighbours．The discovery doesn't promise much, but it offers hope that there could be other people or living things out there．

　　The most popular sport in England is football. Football is played on Saturday afternoon in most towns and the supporters（球迷）of a certain team will travel from one end of the country to the other to see their team play. There are four divisions（级别）of the football league. Not surprisingly the best teams are in the first division. But the best supporters are often in the fourth division. You have to be a good supporter to watch the fourth division football!

　　Many other sports are also played in England, such as golf, in which you try to knock a ball into a hole; basketball, in which you try to get a ball through a net; tennis, in which you try to hit a ball so that your opponent（对手）can not hit it. As you see, if the ball had not been invented, there would have been no sport.

　　Actually, that is not quite true. Athletics（田径）isn't played with a ball; nor horseracing. Perhaps that is why they are not so popular as football!

　　It's important to learn about protecting our environment. Here is a 5R rule for us:

　　1．Reduce

　　If you want to reduce waste, you should use things wisely(明智的). A large number of trees are being cut down to make paper. If everyone uses a little paper carelessly and throw it out, soon we would not have any trees left. Other things are also being wasted, and people don't know what to do with the waste in big cities. So it is necessary to reduce the waste.

　　2．Reuse

　　You should always think of reusing the usable things before throwing them out. Give your clothes you do not use or the ones which are too small to the poor. In a family, you may pass on such clothes to younger brothers or sisters.

　　3．Recycle

　　Bottles, cans(罐子) and paper can easily be recycled. By doing so we save lots of time and money. For example, coke cans are sent to a factory, where they are smashed flat(压平) and melted(融化) and the metal things are made for new coke cans.

　　4．Recover

　　When you buy a box of apples, there may be a few rotten(腐烂的) apples, you have two choices: one is to throw the whole apples away, or you could cut off the rotten parts and use the good parts. In this way, you are recovering the eatable parts of food.

　　5．Repair

　　If one of the legs of your table is broken, you can repair it. If you want to change for better ones, it is better for you to sell the old things or give them to other people who can use them after doing some repair. It is true that North America is a “throw-away” society, but the time has come to change our way of life so that we can protect our environment. Every one of us should try our best.

1．The “Reduce” rule mainly requires(要求) us ________.

[　　]

A．to use things wisely

B．to cut down many trees

C．to use a lot of paper

D．to throw away your old clothes

2．What's the right order(顺序) of recycling coke cans?

[　　]

[　　]

3．The “Recover” rule mainly requires us ________.

[　　]

A．to throw waste things away

B．to cover waste things with earth

C．to get back the useful parts

D．to throw the whole things away

4．Which is the best way to do with your broken tables?
