A
We’ve seen aliens in a vast variety of Hollywood films, but which is closer to the truth? As our understanding of the universe grows, scientists are beginning to think what these aliens might look like.
Opinions can be certainly different, but scientists are forming their opinions on the basis of environment and biology rather than science novels. Does that mean we’re closer to the answer? Of course not! Read on below to see the different forms of life scientists are predicting.
Dr Maggie thinks aliens may be jellyfish(水母). She bases this on how life began in the ocean here on Earth and draws the conclusion that creatures in the ocean could interact(相互作用) with water. Some scientists think aliens may be bugs. Cockroaches (蟑螂) are among our planet’s strongest creatures thanks to their thick exoskeleton(外骨骼) and they are able to survive in different conditions. This makes a bug-style life form. Simon, a scientist working at Cambridge University, thinks that aliens would be “just like humans”, not only in appearance and biology but also in weakness.
Have you got any ideas about what aliens might look like?
1. Where have people seen aliens according to the passage?
A. From TVs. B. From films. C. From cartoons. D. From magazines.
2. Where are scientists’ opinions on aliens from?
A. Environment and novels. B. Biology and novels.
C. Environment and biology. D. Environment, biology and novels.
3. How many kinds of aliens are described in the passage?
A. Three. B. Two. C. One. D. Four.

Wu is not alone. Many students across China have the chance to eat with their headmasters. The government issued a notice on food safety and nutrition (营养) management in schools, asking headmasters from kindergarten to high school to have meals with students. The rule took effect(生效) on April 1st.
Many schools now have seats for school managers when they eat with students in the dining hall.

To their surprise, their favorite dishes appeared in the dining hall later. “It's not just about the food. It makes me feel that I have a say in school," explained one student. "My ideas are valued."
Some headmasters regard these mealtime conversations as their main chance to communicate with students. And they notice that some students prefer meat to vegetables. “We are thinking about how to improve the dining hall's dishes and provide students with a healthy diet," one headmaster said. As students become more familiar with the school managers, they begin to express their own points of view.

We’ve seen aliens in a vast variety of Hollywood films, but which is closer to the truth? As our understanding of the universe grows, scientists are beginning to think what these aliens might look like.
Opinions can be certainly different, but scientists are forming their opinions on the basis of environment and biology rather than science novels. Does that mean we’re closer to the answer? Of course not! Read on below to see the different forms of life scientists are predicting.
Dr Maggie thinks aliens may be jellyfish(水母). She bases this on how life began in the ocean here on Earth and draws the conclusion that creatures in the ocean could interact(相互作用) with water. Some scientists think aliens may be bugs. Cockroaches (蟑螂) are among our planet’s strongest creatures thanks to their thick exoskeleton(外骨骼) and they are able to survive in different conditions. This makes a bug-style life form. Simon, a scientist working at Cambridge University, thinks that aliens would be “just like humans”, not only in appearance and biology but also in weakness.
