8．Following news of the potential for life on the recently-discovered TRAPPIST-1system，there may be another competitor ready to take its place．
With the help of the Cassini spacecraft，NASA （National Aeronautics and Space Administration） scientists have picked up the first evidence that chemical reactions are taking place deep below the surface of Enceladus，Saturn's （土星的） sixth-largest moon．This means that there could be life in Enceladus'warm underground seas．
An early study found that liquid oceans exist miles below Enceladus'surface．But to reveal what is happening down there，scientists must rely on the plumes（股）of water that spray（喷射）through cracks in Enceladus'icy surface．In October 2015，NASA sent Cassini into a deep dive into one of the plumes．
Cassini's findings，published on April 13in the journal Science，showed that hydrogen（氢） not only exists on Enceladus，but is also responsible for a chemical reaction between hot rocks and water in the ocean beneath its surface．
This same process on Earth provides energy for entire ecosystems around volcanic vents（火山口）．There，tiny creatures are able to survive without sunlight，using hydrogen and carbon dioxide as fuel in a process known as"methanogenesis（甲烷生成）"．
The discovery of this chemical energy source on Enceladus means it could be a very good candidate to host life．
"Confirmation（确认） that the chemical energy for life exists within the ocean of a small moon of Saturn is an important milestone （里程碑） in our search for habitable （可居住的） worlds beyond Earth，"Linda Spilker，Cassini project scientist at NASA，told the Daily Mail．
Alien life was once only thought possible on habitable planets within the"Goldilocks zone"-far enough from our sun not to be a fireball，but not so far as to be freezing．
Research on Enceladus is still in its early stages，but the recent findings have important meanings for future exploration．
"At present，we know of only one genesis （诞生） of life，the one that led to us，"David Rothery，professor of planetary geosciences （行星与地球科学） from the Open University in the UK，told The Telegraph．
"If we knew that life had started independently in two places in our solar system，then we could be pretty confident that life also got started on some of the tens of billions of planets and moons around other stars in our galaxy，"he said．

24．What is the article mainly about？B
A．The connection between the TRAPPIST-1system and Enceladus．
B．The potential for life on Saturn's moon，Enceladus．
C．The chemical energy source on Enceladus．
D．Scientists'constant search for life in the solar system．
25．Scientists assume that there could be life on Enceladus becauseC．
A．there is evidence of a warm ocean under Enceladus'surface
B．hot rocks and water have been discovered on Enceladus
C．hydrogen discovered on Enceladus could be a chemical energy source
D．the entire ecosystems of Enceladus are somewhat similar to those of Earth
26．According to David Rothery，the recent findings on Enceladus could mean thatD．
A．there is only one genesis of life in our galaxy
B．there could be many habitable planets，but all in the"Goldilocks zone"
C．it won't be long before scientists find a habitable planet beyond Earth
D．alien life could exist on some other planets if it existed on Enceladus．

7．I don't know how to the problem，so I asked my English teacher for help．（　　）

An American and a Frenchman decided to cross the sea between France and England in the balloon in 1784．High over the water，they discover a hole in the balloon．The hole became bigger and bigger．The air keeps the balloon up was escaping quickly and the balloon was coming up．The two men threw all their equipments into the water to make the balloon light．It started to rise higher again．So it was still too close to the water．Finally，the men threw away most of his clothes to save themselves．The crowd waiting for to greet them in England were very surprised see this when the balloon landed in front of them．

5．How often one hears children wishing they were grown-ups and old people wishing they were young again．Each age has its pleasures and its pains，and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets．
Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult．If a child has good parents，he is fed，looked after and loved，whatever he may do．It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return．In addition，life is always presenting new things to the child-things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known．But a child has his parents．He is not so free to do what he wishes to do； he is continually being told not to do things or being punished for what he has done wrong．
When the young man starts to earn his own living，he can no longer expect others to pay for his food，his clothes，and his room，but has to work if he wants to live comfortably．If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child，he will go hungry．And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents，he may go to prison．If，however，he works hard，keeps out of trouble and has good health，he can have the great happiness of building up for himself his own position in society．
