Just like any relationship, best friendships depend on trust, promise, respect and interests.When any of these elements(要素)is missing, the friendship will be hard to go on.If the trust is totally broken, you may not be able to forgive him/her.Sometimes a friendship ends because either you or your friend gets tired of putting the heart into it.This can happen when one of you finds a new friend or even a new hobby that takes up much time.Or, perhaps you find the relationship is always going in an unhealthy way and you want some distance.Other times, you simply change and want to leave each other.Sure, it seems sad at the time, but it's completely normal.Not all friendships are meant to last forever.So, what should you do if something like this happens to you?Read on for some friendly advice.
Whatever the reason you're breaking up with your best friend, always remember that he/she was once super important to you.Take the time to sit down privately and tell him/her what's going on and why.Don't send him/her an unpleasant e-mail or just start ignoring(不理睬)him/her.In fact, maybe he/she has known there's a problem and would be willing to have a heart-to-heart chat.If you're not sure about wanting an end forever, you could suggest you two take a break from each other.If, after a while, you realize why you became the best friends in the beginning, you can try getting back to your former behaviors.Whatever you do, be honest about your feelings while having respect for his/hers.And if you both agree the BFF thing is over, make sure not to be enemies.

After spending years searching for a planet with life, scientists may have found one.In September 2010, a team of US scientists discovered an Earth-sized planet called Gliese 581 g.It has a surface temperature neither too hot nor too cold for liquid(液态)water.Scientists think there is a chance that the planet could have life.
The planet Gliese 581 g goes around a star called Gliese 581, which is about 20 light-years from Earth.That is about 194 trillion(万亿)kilometres-500 million times farther away from us than the moon.
A spacecraft traveling at a one-tenth of the speed of light would reach Gliese 581g within about 220 years.A human can’t live that long, but robotic explorers could make the job easier.However, our fastest spacecraft don’t come anywhere near that one-tenth light-speed mark.
At present, scientists don’t know what the surface might be like on Gliese 581 g.What they know is that the planet is at the sight distance from its star to have liquid water.It’s also at the right distance to have an atmosphere that could protect the water if it is on the surface.
Although spacecraft won’t be getting there anytime soon, one way to look for life on Gliese 581g is to turn our radio telescopes(望远镜)towards the planet and search for radiation(放射).By studying the radiation, scientists would find out about the chemicals(化学物质)around the planet and discover it Gliese 581 g has an atmosphere.If it has one, studying the atmosphere would give us a good idea if the planet has life or not.But it’ll probably be many years before we can do this properly.
People have been arguing about whether there is alien life on Gliese 581 g.Any discussion about alien life is just guessing at this point, according to its discoverers.
