The earth is the only planet that scientists are certain has life. What does the earth have that other planets in our solar system don't? For one thing,the earth is just the right temperature. As 61 third planet from the sun ,
the earth seems to be just the right distance away. The planets that are closer to the sun
are 62 (extreme) hot and their surfaces are baking in the sun. The farthest planets are frozen balls.
When the earth developed,it 63 (cover) by many gases. The gases caused the earth 64. (be)
hot. But something 65. (amaze) happened. The temperature was just right for thick clouds to form. It rained very hard for a long time. This gave the earth its oceans. Water made 66. possible
for plants to grow. Then the plants created oxygen in the atmosphere,67. the gas -that humans and animals breathe.
Mars is the only planet in the solar system that seems to be anything like the earth. It is 68. (small) than the
earth and it is quite a bit cooler. But it is not too cold for humans. The most unexpected sight on Mars is dried-up river beds. However,it is believed 69. Mars was once much wetter.Does this mean there could have been living things on Mars? Scientists are not sure,but there 70.(be) no sign so far.

FC Barcelona's football academy(专门学校) ，La Masia,has trained some . of the best footballers in Europe,such as Pep Guardiola,Lionel Messi and Gerard Pique. Many people believe that Barcelona is the best football team in Europe because of the training programme at the school. Now,FC Barcelona has opened similar academies all around the world,including in Egypt,Japan,America and Dubai.
It is difficult to join the Barcelona academy. Every year,over 1,000 students apply (申请) ，but only 70 students can live and study at the school. They are aged between li and 18. Seventy coaches,teachers,doctors and cooks look after the students. The academy costs about £5 million a year to run. But the students all have scholarships (奖学金) ，so they don't pay any money. FC Barcelona pays for everything: the students’ rooixis,teachers,books and food.
However,the students don't only learn football. FC Barcelona also wants to give their students a good academic education. It is important to the dub that their students can still get good jobs if they don 't become professional (职业的) footballers. Students travel by bus to local schools each morning for four hours of study. The footballers return to La Masia after lunch and do football training in the afternoons.
But is the students,academic education good enough? All the football training must make the students very tired and they spend less time at school than other children. That doesn't matter if you are one of the students who are good enough to become a professional footballer. But what happens to all the children who don't make it onto the team? La Masia produces excellent football players,but it is important to ask what happens to all the other children who train there.

The mystery of why humans are the only animals to have chins (下巴) may have been solved by scientists who suggest that it is connected to the invention of cooking.
A paper from the University of Florida tries to explain exactly why humans 一 unlike all other primates (灵长目动物) 一have chins.
A team led by Dr James Pampush collected information from more than 100 kinds of primate and compared it with historical information. Computer modelling found how the chin developed.
Random genetic change(随机的基因变化)was ruled out because the chin developed 77 times faster than the average genetic change. And the study finds no evidence that it -served a useful purpose. The research,published in the Journal of Human Evolution,suggests the chin is a by-product of another event. In this case,the event could well be the invention of cooking.
“The chin began to appear as a result of major changes six million years earlier. The arrival of cooking and softer food meant humans no longer needed big teeth and powerful jaws .and over the next two million years to 200,000 years both got smaller and the chin was bora ,” said Dr Pampush. “My guess is that it most likely happened around two million years ago when there was a jump in brain size. The changes which finally lead to the chin are directly related to cooking,and indirectly related to larger brains and bodies."
Dr Pampush's new theory goes against previous suggestions that the chin was an example of sexual selection,with attractive chins marking out men who are likely to make good mates(配偶) . The fact that both men and women have chins means the theory is unlikely.
Another theory put forward in the past said that the chin was a way to balance out the stress of chewing,but Dr Pampush also threw doubt on that idea.
1. The reason why we have chins .
A. is connected to humans’ action of chewing
B. has something to do with cooking
C. is random genetic change
D. is related to eating time
2. How did the researchers get their result?
A. By carrying out experiments. .
B. By studying scientific theories.
C. By examining the human brain.
D. By comparing recorded information.
3. Before developing chins,humans .
A. had bigger teeth
B. cooked softer food
C. had smaller jaws
D. had larger bodies
4. According to Dr Pampush,the chin most
probably appeared around .
A. 6 million years ago
B. 4 million years ago
C. 2 million years ago
D. 0.2 million years ago
5. What does the underlined part “the theory” refer to?
A. Men are likely to have more attractive chins.
B. The chin helps humans attract a mate.
C. Both men and women have chins.
D. Dr Pampush's theory.
