A girl complained to her father about her hard life．She didn't know what she had to do and wanted to give up．She felt tired of fighting and fighting．One problem had been finished but another came over．
Her father, a cook, took her into the kitchen．He poured water into three pans and boiled(煮沸)them．After boiling, in the first pan was put some carrots, the second was put some eggs and the last was put with coffee．
The girl waited impatiently(不耐烦的), confused by what her father did．About 20 minutes later, her father took out the carrots and put them in a bowl．He took the eggs and put them in a bowl．After that the coffee was poured into a cup．“My sweet heart, what do you see? ” he asked．
“Carrots, eggs and coffee, ” she replied．
Her father told her to close her eyes and asked her to touch the carrots．She did so and felt that the carrots were soft．After that he asked her to take the eggs and break them．After peeling(剥开)them, she got the eggs, cooked and hard．The last, the father let her smell the coffee．She asked, “What did you do this for, Father? ” He explained that each had the same unlucky experience－the boiling water, but each had a different result．The strong and hard carrots had become soft and weak．The fragile eggs became hard after being cooked．The coffee was very special, they could change water．“Who are you?” asked her father．“When bad luck knocks at your door, what is your decision? Are you carrots, eggs or coffee? ”

After spending years searching for a planet with life, scientists may have found one．In September 2010, a team of US scientists discovered an Earth-sized planet called Gliese 581 g．It has a surface temperature neither too hot nor too cold for liquid(液态)water．Scientists think there is a chance that the planet could have life．
The planet Gliese 581 g goes around a star called Gliese 581, which is about 20 light-years from Earth．That is about 194 trillion(万亿)kilometres－500 million times farther away from us than the moon．
A spacecraft traveling at a one-tenth of the speed of light would reach Gliese 581g within about 220 years．A human can’t live that long, but robotic explorers could make the job easier．However, our fastest spacecraft don’t come anywhere near that one-tenth light-speed mark．
At present, scientists don’t know what the surface might be like on Gliese 581 g．What they know is that the planet is at the sight distance from its star to have liquid water．It’s also at the right distance to have an atmosphere that could protect the water if it is on the surface．
Although spacecraft won’t be getting there anytime soon, one way to look for life on Gliese 581g is to turn our radio telescopes(望远镜)towards the planet and search for radiation(放射)．By studying the radiation, scientists would find out about the chemicals(化学物质)around the planet and discover it Gliese 581 g has an atmosphere．If it has one, studying the atmosphere would give us a good idea if the planet has life or not．But it’ll probably be many years before we can do this properly．
People have been arguing about whether there is alien life on Gliese 581 g．Any discussion about alien life is just guessing at this point, according to its discoverers．

moves around the earth

is as far away from us as the moon

can be reached in about 220 years
(3)

[ ]
A．
the possibility of living on Gliese 581 g

the kinds of chemicals around Gliese 581 g

the way of looking for life on Gliese 581 g
D．
the aim of studying the radiation on Gliese 581 g
