Read the passage carefully then answer the questions.

How many planets are there in our galaxy? That’s a tricky question to answer. Are there other planets that support life? That’s exactly what the Kepler mission hopes to discover.

NASA launched the Kepler space telescope, designed to find habitable planets, in 2009. So far it has discovered five new Earth-sized planets beyond our Solar System. These planets are hotter than the Earth - much too hot for life as we know it. The Kepler team predict that they will need at least three years to find an Earth-like planet.

The simplest requirement for a planet to have life is for there to be liquid water so the distance from the planet’s sun and therefore temperature is important. There also needs to be the correct amount of air. If a planet is as small as Mars (half the size of Earth) its weak gravity means that it can’t hold on to air molecules. If a planet is Neptune-sized (four times bigger than Earth) it has very strong gravity and too much air. So size matters too.

The cost of the mission is approximately six hundred million dollars. It is scheduled to observe until 2013 but this could be extended. Will we be sad if we discover we are alone in our galaxy or happy if we find that we share it with other life forms?

Read the following passage carefully, then write True (T) or False (F) for each statement.

People have been talking about UFOs for ages. Millions of normal people keep saying that they were caught and taken into UFOs.

The first case was in the 1950s when George Adamski said a UFO had taken him to the far side of the moon. Another case took place in 1961, when an American couple, Betty and Barley Hill, were chased by a UFO while they were driving home one night in New Hampshire. The couple stopped to observe the UFO through binoculars. To escape from it, they took the back roads and arrived home two hours later.

Fourteen years later, in 1975, one of the most shocking events happened in a small town in Arizona, when a woodcutter called Travis Walton disappeared with a blue-green light from a flying saucer under his teammates’ eyes. Five days later, the missing woodcutter returned home and said, T woke up on the UFO and found myself among strangers with no hair and half-formed face. They put a mask over my face, and I fell asleep again. 1 remembered nothing else until I awoke in the forest where I had been caught.’

Question 1. It was first claimed that someone had been taken away in a UFO in the middle of the 20th century.

Question 2. Betty and Barley Hill live in the USA.

Question 3. Betty and Barley Hill were also taken away in a UFO.

Question 4. Travis Walton was caught on the road.

Question 5. The aliens wore the masks all the time while Travis was staying with them.
