Scientists may now be closer than ever to answering that question. Using powerful telescopes，a team of astronomers in South America discovered a new planet，called Proxima bIt circles a star named Proxima Centauri，in the same way Earth circles the sun. Proxima Centauri is the closest star to our solar system. Scientists believe the new planet has a rocky surface and is similar in size to Earth. More important，theyve determined that the distance between Proxima b and its “sun” gives the planet a similar temperature to Earths. This means it could have liquid water. The presence of water on a planet makes it possible for life to exist there. Scientists refer to planets like Proxima b as “Goldilocks planets” because they are not too hot or too cold，but just right to possibly support life. Astronomers have found other Goldilocks planets in the past，but none are as close to Earth as Proxima bStill，the new planet is 4. 2 light years from Earththat is about 25 trillion miles away. Despite the long distance，astronomers hope to get a much better look at our new-found neighbor one day. But theyll need to wait until more advanced telescopes are developed. They may also send a robotic spacecraft to investigate the planet. 24Earth is to the sun what .

His father was an alcoholic and died very young，and his mother was unable to support the family. Unfortunately，the children were separated and placed in foster homes(收养家庭)Tim dropped out of school and did nothing to further himself. He eventually went through a divorce. Tims brother，although experiencing the same childhood，educated himself and got a good job. He has a happy family and a wonderful home. Both brothers gave a similar answer when asked why their lives turned out the way they did. They said，“Youd turn out this way too if you had a childhood like mine. ” Neither of the brothers could change his past，but one of them adjusted(调整) his sail. It doesnt take much to find an excuse whether that is our family background，our lack of education，or that we live in the wrong city，or do not know the right people. Each one of these excuses has a solution. However，if you believe that there is nothing you can do to turn your life around，then you wont be able to change your life for the better. If you really desire to turn your life to a new course，to set your sail to a different port，it is a matter of choice. If you choose to move forward，the easiest way is to find a solution to your todays situation. Solutions are there if you want to go after them. Sure，it may take some hard work，or the willingness to take a risk. But if you do not，then you will never have a different or happy life. Do not limit yourself by finding an excuse；only limit yourself by refusing to have an excuse. 28Why does Tims brother have a happy life?AHe had a happy childhood. BHe tried hard to change his life. CHe had a wonderful foster home. DHe was the smartest of his family. 29What did Tim think led to his unhappy life?AHis laziness. BNot adjusting his sail. CHis unhappy childhood. DNot having any opportunities. 30In the authors opinion，his friend Tim . Areally had no chance to improve his life Bfailed because he lived in the wrong cityCwas the most unfortunate man in the world Dcould have changed his life if he had chosen to31What is the best title for the text?AAdjust Your Sail BSay “No” to ExcusesCMove Towards a Happy Family DHow We Live Our Life is a ChoiceDIs traffic a big problem where you live?
