1
Unit 4.
2
A life beyond Earth?
3
A. Is there intelligent life on other planets besides Earth?
4
For years, scientists weren't sure.
5
Today, this is changing.
6
Seth Shostak and Alexandra Barnett are astronomers.
7
They believe intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe.
8
They also think we will soon contact these beings.
9
B. Why do these astronomers think intelligent life exists on other planets?
10
The first reason is time.
11
Scientists believe the universe is about 12 billion years old.
12
According to Shostak and Barnett, this is too long a period for only one planet in the whole universe to develop intelligent life.
13
The second reason is size.
14
The universe is huge.
15
Tools such as the Hubble telescope have shown that there are at least 100 billion galaxies, says Shostak.
16
and our galaxy, the Milky Way, has at least 100 billion stars.
17
Some planets that circle these stars might be similar to Earth.
18
Looking for intelligent life.
19
See, until recently, it was difficult to search for signs of intelligent life in the universe,
20
but now powerful telescopes allow scientists to identify many more small planets in other solar systems.
21
If these planets are similar to Earth and are close enough to a star, they might have intelligent life.
22
Making contact D have beings from outer space already visited Earth?
23
Probably not, says Shostak.
24
The distance between planets is too great.
25
Despite this, intelligent beings might eventually contact us using other methods such as radio signals or flashes of light.
26
In fact, they could be trying to communicate with us now, but we may not have the right tools to receive their messages.
27
This is changing, however, says Shostak.
28
He predicts that we will make contact with other life forms in our universe within the next 20 years.

影片中的語法
說話人最常用的結構，並附上影片中的原話：
| 結構 | 影片中的用法 |
|---|---|
| 用 “might / may” 表可能 might/may + 動詞 — 有可能但不確定的事 | might be · might have · might eventually |

什麼是跟讀法？
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
