15．Is There Life on EarthThere was great excitement on the planet of Venus this week．For the first time Venusian scientists managed to land a satellite on the planet Earth，and it has been sending back signals as well as photographs ever since．
The satellite was directed into an area known as Manhattan （ named after the great Venusian astronomer Prof．Manhattan，who first discovered it with his telescope 20，000light years ago）•Because of excellent weather conditions and extremely strong signals，Venusian scientists were able to get valuable information as to the feasibility （可行性）of a manned flying saucer （飞碟）landing on Earth．A press conference was held at the Venus Institute of Technology．
"We have come to the conclusion，based on last week's satellite landing，"Pro．Zog said，"that there is no life on the Earth．"
"How do you know this？"the science reporter of the Venus Evening Star asked．do you know this？"the
"For one thing，Earth's surface in the area of Manhattan is composed of solid concrete and nothing can grow there．For another，the atmosphere is filled with carbon monoxide and other deadly gases and nobody could possibly breathe this air and survive．"
"What does this mean as far as our flying saucer program is concerned？"
"We shall have to take our own oxygen with us，which means heavier flying saucer than we originally planned．"
"Are there any other risks that you discovered in your studies？"
"Take a look at this photo．You see this dark black cloud floating over the surface of Earth？We call this the Consolidated Edison Belt．We don't know what it is made of，but it could give us a lot of trouble and we shall have to make further tests before we send a Venus Being there．''
"If what you say is true，won't this set back the flying saucer program several years？""Yes，but we shall proceed as soon as the Grubstart gives us the added funds．"
"Pro．Zog，why are we spending billions and billions of zilches to land a flying saucer on Earth when there is no life there？
"Because if we Venusians can learn to breathe in an Earth atmosphere，then，we can live anywhere．"

13．A millionaire took some of his upper-class friends yachting（乘游艇）．They passed a deserted island where a man with a long beard and worn clothes stood，waving his arms and screaming in their direction．"Who is that？"asked a friend．"I don't know，"said the host，"but every time we sail by he goes crazy．"
That may be an exception to a universal rule，which is that most people are happy to help if they cam But there is another universal principle-unless you are stranded on a deserted island，you are probably unwilling to ask for help，especially from a stranger．Thankfully，most of the time，we are not coping with a"mayday"emergency．
I recently learned that the word"mayday"has nothing to do with the month of May．Instead，it comes from the French word"m'aidez"，which means"help me"．But it is used only as a last choice．The plane is nose-drving．The ship is badly wounded．"Mayday!Mayday!Mayday!"a voice screams over the radio．If help doesn't arrive quickly，all will be lost．
In truth，most people do not easily ask for the help they need．They wait until they are hopelessly lost or a simple job has become a nightmare before they seek help．And it is also true that help is not usually too hard to get．But we have to ASK for it．
A businessman，Brian Tracy，puts it well，"Ask for what you want．Ask for help，ask for input，ask for advice and ask for ideas-never be afraid to ask．You don't always get what you ask for，but you never get what you don't ask for．"
Do you need help？It may be easier to get than you think．Just ask for it．

32．What can we learn about the man on the deserted island？C
A．He was the millionaire's friend．
B．He wanted to get to know the millionaire．
C．He was likely in great trouble．
D．He wanted to join the millionaire in yachting．
33．We know from the second paragraph thatB．
A．people often don't want to help strangers
B．most people won't refuse to help someone in need
C．people usually are too careful to actively offer help
D．most people don't know how to deal with an emergency
34．According to the passage，the word"mayday"C．
A．is only used in France
B．has something to do with a certain month
C．indicates that someone needs help
D．is not allowed to be used outside of ships and planes
35．Brian Tracy's words were quoted（引用）toD．
A．call on people to help others
B．point out when to ask for help
C．show it is easy to get help
