16．Do you want to live another 100years or more？Some experts say that scientific advances will one day enable humans to last tens of years beyond what is now seen as the natural limit of the human life span．
"I think we are knocking at the door of immortality（永生），"said Michael Zey，a Montclair State University business professor and author of two books on the future．"I think by 2075we will see it and that's a conservative estimate（保守的估计）．"
At the conference in San Francisco，Donald Louria，a professor at New Jersey Medical School in Newark said advances in using genes as well as nanotechnology（纳米技术） make it likely that humans will live in the future beyond what has been possible in the past．"There is a great push so that people can live from 120to 180years，"he said．"Some have suggested that there is no limit and that people could live to 200or 300or 500years．"
However，many scientists who study in ageing are doubtful about it and say the human body is just not designed to last past about 120years．Even with healthier lifestyles and less disease，they say failure of the brain and organs will finally lead all humans to death．
Scientists also differ on what kind of life the super aged might live．"It remains to be seen if you pass 120，you know； could you be healthy enough to have good quality of life？"said Leonard Pooh，director of the University of Georgia Gerontology Centre．"At present people who could get to that point are not in good health at all．"

12．Is there intelligent （有智力的） life on other planets？For years，scientists said"no"or"we don't know．"But today this is changing．Seth Shostak and Alexandra Barnett are astronomers （天文学家）．They believe intelligent life exists （存在） somewhere in the universe （宇宙）．They also think we will soon contact（联系） these beings （生物）．
Why do Shostak and Barnett think intelligent life exists on other planets？The first reason is time．Scientists believe the universe is about 12billion years old．"This is long enough for other planets to have intelligent life，"say Shostak and Barnett．The second reason is size-the universe is huge．"Tools like the Hubble Telescope （哈勃望远镜） have shown that there are at least 100billion galaxies（星系），"says Shostak．"And our galaxy，the Milky Way（银河系），has at least 100billion stars．Some planets going around these stars might be similar to the earth．"
In the past，it was hard to look for signs of intelligent life in the universe．But now，powerful telescopes allow scientists to discover smaller planets-the size of Mars or Earth in other solar systems（太阳系）．These planets might have intelligent life．
Have beings from space already visited Earth？"Probably not，"says Shostak．"It's a long way away．However，intelligent beings may contact us in other way，such as radio signals （信号）．In fact，they may be trying to communicate with us now，but we don't have the right tools to receive their messages．However，this is changing．By 2025，we could make contact with other life forms in our universe and we might help each other．"

83．Why was it hard to look for signs of intelligent life in the universe in the past？B
A．Because scientists didn't have telescopes．
B．Because there were not any powerful telescopes．
C．Because the astronomers were not interested in them．
D．Because the Milky Way didn't exist at that time．
84．Why haven't beings from space visited us yet according to Shostak？B
A．Because they're afraid of us．
B．Because it's a long way away．

10．

If I were to ask you to close your eyes and I gave you a piece of apple to eat，would you be able to tell me what it is just by tasting it？Of course，you could．Your tongue （舌头） helps you know what different foods taste like．Do you know that foods would taste different if you did not have a nose？
What You Need
☆a friend to help
☆small pieces of any food like carrot，orange，banana-whatever you have
☆small pieces of apples，raw （uncooked） potato and （if you are brave） onion （洋葱）
What You Do
There are actually three different experiments．You and your friend should take turns trying them on each other．
Experiment 1：
Have your friend close her eyes and open her mouth．Give her a piece of the food and ask her to taste it．Then，ask her what she thinks it is．She will probably guess correctly．
Experiment 2：
While your friend has her eyes closed，give her a piece of raw potato．At the same time，hold a piece of apple right under her nose．Ask her to eat the potato and tell you what she thinks it is．She will say it is a piece of apple!You can even do it the other way around，and she will think she is eating a potato，or，perhaps，she won't be able to name what she is eating．
Experiment 3：（for the brave）
Take a piece of raw onion．You don't have to close your eyes this time．Press your nose closed with your other hand so that no smells can get into your nose．Now eat a small piece of the onion．Surprise!As long as you hold your nose，you will not be able to taste the onion．
The Science SecretYou already know the science secret．Your nose and your tongue work together to make food taste the way it does．Your tongue，however，can taste only certain flavors like salty，bitter，sour，and sweet．All of the other"tastes"are actually"smells"，and you need your nose to taste them．
Oh，you might use this science secret the next time you are forced to eat something you don't like the taste of．If you hold your nose while you eat it，you won't"taste"it at all．

38．According to this article，what could a person know about food？C
A．People hold their noses to eat onions．
B．If you close your eyes，food will taste better．
C．People need a sense of smell to taste some food．
D．If you can smell potatoes，you will taste apples．
39．What is the most probable reason Experiment 3is called"for the brave"？A
A．You have to eat a raw onion．
B．You keep your eyes open．
C．You have to hold your nose．
D．You do the experiment alone．
40．What can we learn from the passage？D
A．Knowledge comes from personal experience．
B．Team work helps us to find out science secrets．
C．We should have courage while doing experiments．
D．We can't draw a conclusion simply from the feeling．
41．What's the passage mainly about？B
A．Why different foods can smell the same．
B．How smell influences the way food tastes．
C．Why some things smell better than others．
D．How smell changes the way we see things．
