Planet Hunter

When Geoff Marcy was 14, his parents bought him a telescope. Every night, he would go onto the roof outside his window to see the wonders of the sky.

"What excited me most was whether there were planets(行星)in other solar(太阳的)systems where life might exist," he says. "I decided to try to find planets orbiting(沿............. 轨道运行)other stars like our sun.”

And he did. " My fellow researcher Paul Butler and I found our first planet in 1995 ，”Dr. Marcy says. "We worked for ten years without finding anything！But we stuck with it,and our patience paid off.”

Since then,the two scientists have discovered 65 of the more than 100 planets found orbit?ing other stars. Dr. Marcy and Dr. Butler also spotted the first " family" of three planets. In June 2002 they announced another discovery：a Jupiter-like(像木星一样的)planet orbiting star 55 Cancri.

At first, the two researchers found only planets that orbit close to stars. Recently, the sci?entists found planets farther out. The planet orbiting 55 Cancri is a major breakthrough;it is the first sighting of a large gas planet about the same distance from the star as Jupiter is from the sun.

Why is this important? Scientists think that life on the earth may exist because of two spe?cial features(特征)in our solar system. The first is Jupiter.

"Because it's so big,Jupiter pulls comets and asteroids(小行星)，or they all come and hit the earth. " Dr. Marcy explains. " Without Jupiter, life on the earth would likely have been destroyed.”

A second feature is that the earth is a rocky planet where liquid water，which is necessary for life，can exist. Unlike gas planets，rocky planets like the earth have surfaces where water can gather in pools and seas,which may support life. A huge space exists between the Jupiter?like planet and two other planets that lie close to 55 Cancri. Is there an Earth-like planet in the space, too small for us to notice? If so,says Dr. Marcy, "We would have two striking similarities to our solar system：a Jupiter-like planet and an Earth-like planet. And there may be life!"

A. He is fond of watching Jupiter.

B. He is from a scientist family.

C. He dislikes working with Paul Butler.

D. He is interested in finding life in outer space.

A. he has found the system similar to the solar system

Often referred to as "The Lost City of the Incas"，Machu Picchu is probably the most fa?miliar symbol of the Inca Empire(印加帝国）.It was built around the year 1450, but abandoned (遗弃）a hundred years later,at the time of the Spanish conquest of the Inca Empire. Forgotten for centuries, the site was brought to worldwide attention in 1911 by Hiram Bingham, an Amer?ican historian. Since then,Machu Picchu has become an important tourist attraction. It was an?nounced a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983. It is also one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. But it has recently come to light that the site may have been discovered and robbed secretly as early as in 1867 by a German businessman, Augusto Beras.

7,000 feet above sea level and located on a small hilltop between the Andean Mountain Range, the majestic city rises above the Urabamba Valley below. Then a huge wall,the Tai-wan-kai, handrails are all seems to be naturally formed in the same precipice. Machu Picchu is surrounded by tropical jungle. Separated into three areas―farming,urban, and religious(宗教的）一the structures are arranged so that the function(功能）of the buildings matches the form of their surroundings. The agricultural terracing and ditches(梯田和沟渠）take advantage of the nat?ural slopes(斜坡)；the lower areas contain buildings occupied by farmers and teachers, and the most important religious areas are located at the crest of the hill，over-looking the fresh green Urabamba Valley thousands of feet below.

Hikers,tourists, and the early explorers describe similar emotions as they'climb their way through the Inca Trail. Many call the experience magical and say the area creates a wonderful green paradise, making it a must for anyone who travels to Peru.
