Good study habits(习惯) are important for all students. When you have good study habits, you’ll learn faster and find you have a good memory.

Do you usually study in the living room? This is not a good place for study because it is usually too noisy. You need to study in a quiet place, such as your bedroom. A quiet place will help you learn better.

Before you begin to study, do not forget to clean your desk. It helps you study well, too. Light is important, too. You’ll feel tired easily if there is not enough light.

Of all the good study habits you can develop, asking questions is the key. Just ask. No one knows everything, but we can always learn from each other by asking questions.

One simple but important habit is to tell yourself what you’re studying for. Putting your dream grades(理想的分数) on the wall next to your bed or computer means you’ll see and think about it every day.

When do you work best? Are you an early bird, a night owl(猫头鹰), or something in between? Find your most productive work time, and then plan to study at this time.

Is there intelligent (有智力的) life on other planets? For years, scientists said “No” or “We don’t know.” But today this is changing. Seth and Alex are astronomers (天文学家). They believe intelligent life exists (存在) somewhere in the universe They also think we will soon communicate with these beings (人, 生物).

Why do seth and Alex think intelligent life exists on other planets? The first reason (理由) is time. Scientists believe the universe is about 12 billion years old. “This is long enough for other planets to have intelligent life.” say Seth and Alex. The second reason is size. The universe is huge. “We have known that there are at least 100 billion galaxies.” says Seth, “And our galaxy, the Milky Way, has at least 100 billion stars. Some planets going around these stars might be similar (相似的) to Earth.”

In the past. it was hard to look for signs (迹象) of intelligent life in the universe. But now, powerful telescopes (高倍望远镜) allow scientists to discover smaller planets—the size of Mars or Earth—in other solar systems. These planets might have intelligent life.

Have beings from space already visited Earth? “Probably not.” says Alex. “It’s a long way away. However, intelligent beings may communicate with us in other ways, such as radio signals (信号). In fact, they may be trying to communicate with us now, but we don’t have the right tools (工具) to receive their messages. However, this is changing. By 2025, we could communicate with other life forms in our universe and we might help each other.”
