3．A scientist responsible for finding signs of life on other planets has warned that human beings should probably think twice before making contact with aliens（外星人）．
Professor Matthew Bailes is based at Swinburne University and is leading Australia's efforts to find signs of extra-terrestrial （外星的）life．But he warned that making contact with aliens capable of transmitting powerful signals to earth over tens of thousands of light years could lead humans into disaster，because they're likely to be so much advanced．"The history of weak civilizations contacting more advanced civilizations is not a happy one!"he said．
Prof Bailes was recently put in charge of the Breakthrough Prize Foundation's﹩100m to search for alien life，which is being financed by Russian billionaire Yuri Milner and is backed by Professor Stephen Hawking．The team working on the project will use the Parkes radio telescope，one of the largest in the world，to scan the universe．
Prof Bailes told the news media that accurate computers would have to be installed at Parkes to sort through as many as a billion samples a second to try to detect patterns or likely signals．"There is no manual（指南） on how to find aliens．We'll have to imagine the sort of transmissions an alien race might send．"
The computers，he warned，would take a year to build，and the project has five years to run．But he said that the signal，if and when it arrives，would likely be quite weak after travelling across such vast distances．He said that scientists hope that aliens will send a pattern human beings would be able to recognize，such as prime numbers．But he warned that we might all be"long dead and buried"before we could work out how to reply and the aliens could get an answer．

2．Accordig to a recent survey，violence did exist in schools．Students showed their fear and parents and teachers also expressed their great concern about it．Experts hope the whole（41）society（social） pay more attention to the mental health of adolescents（青少年）．Nowadays，school violence is a hot issue．I think this is a phenomenon，（42）whichcalls for our great concern．We should try every effort（43）to prevent（prevent） violence happening at school for more and more students would drop out of school（44）iftheir personal safety could not（45）be guaranteed （guarantee）．In fact，violence can be learned．Children learn violent behavior from adults or from（46）whatthey see on television or on（47）theInternet．
If I meet with school violence，I will not answer violence（48）againstviolence，for it will result in（49）more （much） fighting．I will tell my teachers or parents about it．I think they will help me deal with it well and they will protect me from the bad guys．
All in all，every student should behave（50）himself（he） and keep away from violence．

20．When I was about twelve，I headed to a resaurant for dinner with my family．It was winter，and on that particular night，the wind was really blowing．As my mom and I headed towards the restaurant from our car，a girl about my age and her mother came up to us．They asked if we had any spare change．My mom immediately asked where they kpt their things．They pointed to an old car in a parking across the street．The girl said there were six of them living in that car，which was the same size as my own family．
My mom said she had something to do after handing the people a few dollars．She sent me inside the restaurant with my dad and my three siblings．But she didn't come．
Later，I found out she had gone home and practically emptied our cupboards into a few bags．Then，she brought that food over to the car and handed the bags to the family．I wasn't there when that part happened，but I can only imagine the joy it brought to their faces．
A few days later，when I actually found out about what she had done，I asked her why she helped those people．She told me that they were not lucky．I remember the face of that girl who had asked us for change，she was the same age as me，yet we looked so different．
Here I stood，dressed in almost new clothes，headed to dine in a restaurant and then back home o the bedroom I shared with my younger sister．I remember thinking that the other girl didn't have any food to eat．and she was heading back to a cold car shared with five other people．
After painting this picture in my mind，I understood why my mom had done what she did．I will never forget what she did that night，and how she taught me one of the best lessons I ever learned．

19．My students often tell me that they don't have"enough time"to do all their schoolwork．
My repy is often a brief"You have as much time as the president．"I usually carry on a bit about there being twenty-four hours in the day for everyone，and suggest that"not enough time"is not an acceptable explanation of not getting something done．
Once in graduate school，I tried to prove to one of my professors by saying that I was working hard．His answer to me was，"That's irrelevant （无关的）．What's important is the quality of your work．"Since then I have had time to think carefully about the"hard worker"dodge （诀窍），and I have come to some conclusions-all relevant to the problem of how much time we have．
If you analyze the matter，you can identify two parts of the problem：There is，of course，he matter of"time"，which we can think of as fixed．Then there is the problem of"work"during that time．But，as my professor suggested，it's not how hard one works but the quality of the product that's important．
That led me to a new idea：the quality of the work．That concept is perhaps best explained by a sign I once saw on the wall in someone's office："Don't work harder．Work smarter．"There is a lot of sense in that idea．
If you can't get more time，and few of us can，the only solution is to improve the quality of the work．That means thinking of ways to get more out of the same time than we might otherwise get．That should lead us to an analysis o our work habits．Since"work"for students usually means"homework"，the expresson"work habits"should be read as"study habits"．
Then，as a smart student，you will seek to improve those skills that you use in study，chiefly reading and writing．If you learn to read better and write better，there are big benefits that pay off in all your studies．

Things started well，but just after eight o'clock，his three little"good kids"-Mike，Randy，and Alex-came down the stairs in their night clothes and shouted"breakfast，daddy．"When food had not appeared within thirty seconds，Randy began using his spoon on Alex's head as if it were a drum．Alex started to shout loudly in time to the beat（节拍）．Mike chanted"Where's my toast，where's my toast"in the background．Brad realized his newspaper would have to wait for a few seconds．

Patience is of great importance in our daily lif．Once I waited a bus to come at a stop.30minutes past，but no bus came．Both upset and annoyed，I decided to walk on feet．But no sooner had I left when the bus arrived．I thought if I had waited for one more minute，I would have caught it．If I chose to take a next bus，I would have to wait for other 30minutes．Only then do I realize my problem．Being impatient will possible waste all the effort that we have put it in．Now whenever I am close to lose my patience，I'll think of this experience．

15．Since the one-baby policy（61）was carried（carry） out in China，Chinese families have been shrinking from one with over 10members to the other with only three including parents and one baby．Things are usually out of our expectation．Apart from the benefits（62）that/which have been mentioned enough，small families are now beginning to have （63）their own problems．Becuse parents are having fewer children，they increasingly feel the need（64）to control（control） the lives of those children．As a result，many children are becoming less （65）independent（depend），determined and ambitious than in the past．
