Almost every family buys at least one copy of a newspaper every day.Some people buy as many as two or three different newspapers.But why do people read newspapers?

Five hundred years ago,news of important happenings took months and even years to travel from one country to another.The news passed from mouth to mouth and sometimes was not true.Today we can read in our newspapers about important events that occurred in faraway countries on the same day they happened.

Besides supplying news from all over the world,newspapers give us a lot of other useful information.There are weather reports,radio,television and film guides,book reviews,stories,and of course,advertisements.There are all sorts of advertisements.Large companies pay the newspapers thousands of dollars for the advertising space to bring attention to their products so that their products can go into almost every home in the country.For those who produce newspapers,advertisements make it possible for them to sell their newspapers at a low price.

whether there is life on other planets except the 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　 77. 　　　　　

earth. They have found very little evidence (证据)　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 78.

of rock from the outer space were discovered in　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 80. 　　　　　

Australia. The discovery excited experts throughout　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　 81. 　　　　　

the world and these pieces of rock contain　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 82. 　　　　　

chemicals similar to those finding on the earth　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 83. 　　　　　

and in our own body. This shows that life,　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 84. 　　　　　

in some form, is not only possible and probable on other planets.　　　　　　　　　　 85.
