Astronomers working at Berkeley and Geneva have found nine new planets circling nearby stars. With this discovery,we now know of 50 extra-solar planets,also called exoplanets. That is a big increase from 41 planets last known five years ago.

All these individual (单个的) planets move in an orbit around a star,which is called their parent star. The astronomers estimate that the Beta Pictoris star (绘架座(3 星) has a planet ten times the mass of Earth. It orbits (环绕轨道运行) at a distance of about 10. 5 billion kilometers,more than ten times the distance of the earth from the sun. And Vega (织女星) ，one of the brightest stars in the sky appears to have a planet twice the mass of Jupiter (木星) ，the largest planet in our solar system. This planet is 8 billion kilometers from its parent star. In comparison,our solar system seems almost tiny. The distance between Pluto (冥王星) ，the farthest planet in our solar system and the sun is “just” 5. 9 billion kilometers!

根据短文内容，回答下列问题。

1. With this discovery,how many extra-solar planets are discovered?

2. Is Vega the only one brightest star in the sky?

Why help others?

The question often comes to my mind;why should I help others when I have everything with me and I don't need any help from anyone? Let's d 1 this point why help should be given to others and what e 2 it has on the helper.

We all know that man is a s 3 animal. He cannot live alone forever. If a man is kept a 4 for a long time,he may be mad. So this is in the very nature of man to mingle up with other members of his species.

While living together,situations appear when everyone has to d 5 on others for one thing or another. It could be a small thing like requesting to pick up something or other big jobs.

If we help someone,it builds a c 6 in them. They develop self-confidence. Self-esteem is one of the basic needs of humans. When someone is helped,particularly,w 7 asking for it,a sense of self-realization is achieved. This will always pay back to the helper in future in one way or another. When we help someone,it gives an inner pleasure to us b 8 this is also human nature. It gives us a sense of satisfaction that further develops to a sense of belonging,which is actually the basis of a society. Society is a g 9 of people living together that have some sort of r 10 among them. If we help someone and the one helps someone else,a chain reaction is started which is beneficial for the society.

This week in Lifestyle we have two very different views on city life compared to life in a small town. Mike Larson lives in a 1 town and he thinks the way of life there is much better than that in a big city. In Mike's opinion,a small town is 2 ,and it has a clean and safe environment,especially for children.

People 3 very friendly and there aren’t so many problems with dangerous people as there are in the city. And of course,the houses in a small town are 4 expensive than those in a big city.

But Mike says there are some bad things 5 living in a small town. There aren’t enough things for young people 6 and there aren’t many shops. Public environment isn’t very good,7 . The school in his town isn't big enough to give his children everything they 8 ,and there isn’t a hospital. But Mike says ,“I enjoy 9 in a small town and I'm too old to move anyway. ”

Cathy Ramos,on the other hand,says the city is the place for her. The city has the best 10 like very good schools and hospitals. It also has great shopping centers and large stores where you can buy 11 you want. There's also 12 transport： buses and taxis,and the airport is near the city.

Cathy says 13 there are problems in a big city. It's so busy and there are too many 14 on the road and it's definitely more expensive than a small town. There's more danger,and it isn’t as 15 as the country.[2013湖北恩施]

None of us enjoy feeling sad. But sadness is a natural healthy emotion that tells us something important about our lives and should never be ignored!

★ Let it out Have you ever had a good cry and felt better after? That's because crying is a physical outlet that allows us to move through emotion.

★If you are feeling sad right now,read this then to honor how you feel. You are feeling sad for a good reason. Sometimes we can change the situation that's making us feel sad and sometimes we can't. For example,if the last of your grown up kids is leaving home and you will miss them; you can't make them stay. But by working through these feelings rather than running away from them,you will discover them easing,leaving room for more positive emotions.

★ Spend some time alone with your sadness. Play sad songs or read sad poems,or look at photos that bring these feelings to the fore,and let the tears flow. Only when you touch the depth of your feelings will you start to push your way off the bottom to resurface a more rounded and wiser person,ready to smile and feel joyful again.

★ Spend time with friends or people who can relate to your feelings. When you are with people who you love,they will make it easy to cheer you up. You can call a friend or loved one who you can tell your sad story to,and maybe they’ll help you.

Yang doesn’t think luck had anything to do with her success. “Every chance is gained (获得) from the efforts I've made ,” said Yang. People now think she's very hard-working.

She still remembers the time when people gave her the cold eyes. Some treated her with little respect. They didn't want to help her in her time of need. aI have to thank them because they gave me the drive to prove myself”’ she said.

That's why she is glad to help others when they are in need. In 2011,Yang became the ambassador (大使) for the Climate Group. She calls some people to join the Million-Miracle project and plant trees on China's dry land. Together we’ll fight the bad weather![黄冈市 2013 毕业升学]

Who is the one that helps me grow up,gives me advice,takes care of me,shows me the right way,always supports me greatly,gives me a birthdate and does many many things just for me? It's my mother. I love her and really admire her for many reasons.

Perhaps,the thing makes me admire her the most is that she is the first teacher of mine. She has been teaching me everything since I was young until now,and for the future. I remember that the first foreign language I learned from her was Russian. I could speak some simple words in Russian when I was just 5 years old such as “hello”，“goodbye”. At that time,I wrote a poem about the ant and my mom. Of course,she was the first person listening to me.

Now,she is still a best friend. I think she is the greatest psychologist that I have known. Sometimes when I was down because of failures in my life,I would go to meet her to ask for some advice. As I expect,I always felt better after that.

I also admire her for her personality which is a mix of honesty and strong faith in god,cause and effect. “ Take us by ourselves into others’ position before doing anything ,” she said And she is also a predictor. She can know the future in her dreams. She ever told me that she had found out my father before seeing him. Besides,she was sure that I would be a boy before getting pregnant. Oh my god!It's strange. I can not do the same thing.

There is a woman who plays an important part in my life and changes my thoughts and actions. I really love my mother. I think I am the happiest person because I have a great mother like her. How do you think of vour mother?
