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.

什么是跟读法？

跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
