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．

1．The new planet has made ．

A．the search for life outside the Earth new and exciting

Many people like to search the Internet. Exploring the Internet is one of the most important activities of the day. The Internet brings the outside world closer to people’s homes. Some people say the world is smaller than before because of the Internet.

Yesterday the police were joined by more than 20 volunteers in the continuing search for the two missing teenagers, Vicky Gray and Tom Hunter, and their guide, Gavin Jones. The police said that they had disappeared during an adventure tour of Cape York Peninsula.

This was the second day of the search and the police were now very worried about the safety of the three missing people.

The police said that the search had covered a wide area, but the rainforest was thick and their work was made harder by the recent rain. Later on Chief Inspector (警官) Roger Fleet said, “The travelers had a radio with them. If they had been in trouble, they would have called us.”

The three travelers left Cooktown very early on Saturday morning in a Toyota car. They took a small dirt road that runs down to the Daintree River, a dangerous river full of crocodiles (鳄鱼). Chief Inspector Roger Fleet said the tourists wouldn’t have got into trouble if they had stayed on the main road.

A photo of Vicky and Tom was found by a policeman under the “Be Careful about crocodiles” sign near the river. Why was the photo left behind? This is just one of the unanswered questions. Other questions are: Why was the Toyota parked and locked at the edge of the rainforest? The police said that the travelers had left a map of the area behind. Why? Why had someone drawn a cross on the place where the car is? Is this a sign? What does it mean? If anyone can give information or has seen these three young people, contact the local police in Cooktown.
