However,we have not found life on any other planets yet.The earth is a planet and it goes around the sun .Seven other planets also go around the sun.None of them has an environment like that of hte earth,so scientists do not think they will find life on them.The sun and its planets are called the solar system,and our solar system is a small part of a much larger group of stars and planets,called the Galaxy or the Milky Way.There are billions of stars in the Galaxy,and our sun is only one of them.Scientists have also discovered many other galaxy in the universe.They are very far away and their light has to travel for many yesrs to reach us.So how large is the universe?It is impossible to imagine.Scientists have sent spaceships to the planet Mars to take photos.They have even sent spaceships to travel ourside the solar system.However,no spaceship has travellde far enough to reach other stars in our Galaxy.Scientists have always askde the questions:with so many stars in the universe,are we alone,or is there life out there in space?Have there been visitors to the earth from other planets?Why has no one communicated with us?We do not know the answers.yet.科学家们认为地球上存在生命已经有数亿年的时间了。然而，我们还没有在其他行星上找到生命。地球是一颗行星，它围绕太阳转。其他七颗行星也围绕太阳转。它们当中没有一个有像地球一样的环境，所以科学家们认为他们不可能在其他星球上找到生命。太阳和它的行星被叫作太阳系，我们的太阳系是一个被称作银河系的大得多的恒星和行星群中的一小部分。在银河系中有数十亿颗恒星，我们的太阳只是它们其中的一个。科学家们也已经在宇宙中发现了许多其他星系。它们很遥远，并且它们的光必须经过许多年才能到达我们这里。所以宇宙有多大？这很难想象。科学家们已经发射了宇宙飞船到火星上去拍照片。他们甚至发射宇宙飞船到太阳系以外遨游。然而，没有宇宙飞船能遨游到足够远而到达银河系的其他恒星上。科学家们一直问这些问题：宇宙中有这么多的星星，我们是孤独的呢，还是太空中还有其他生命存在呢？有来自其他星球的访客来过地球吗？为什么没有人和我们交流？我们仍然不知道答案.Module4 unit1Doctor:How can I help you?Daming:I fell ill.Iv got a stomach ache and my head hurts.Doctor:How long have you been like this?Daming:Since Friday.Ive been ill for about three days!Doctor:I see.Have you caught a cold?Daming:I dont think so.Doctor:Let me take your temperatureHmm,theres no fever.What kind of food do you eat?Daming:Uaually fast food.Doctor:Do you have breakfast?Daming:No,not usually.Doctor:Thats the problem!Fast food and no breadfast.Thats why youve got a stomach ache.Daming:What about the headache?Doctor:Do you do any exercise?Daming:Not really.I havent done much exercise since I got my computer last year.Doctor:You spend too much time in front of the computer.It can be very harmful to your health.Daming:OK,so what should I do?Doctor:Well ,dont worry.Its not serious.First,stop eating fast food and have breakfast every day.Second,get some exercise,such as running.And Ill give you some medicine.Take it three times a day.Daming:Thank you,doctor.Doctor:你怎么了？Daming:我感觉不舒服。我胃疼，头疼。Doctor:你像这样多久了?Daming:自从周五以来。我已经病了大概三天了？Doctor:我知道了。你感冒了吗？Daming:我认为没感冒。Doctor:让我给你试试体温.嗯，没有发烧。你吃哪种食物？Daming:通常是快餐。Doctor:你吃早饭吗？Daming:不，不经常吃。Doctor:那就是问题所在！快餐食品并且不吃早饭。那就是你胃疼的原因。Daming:那么头疼呢？Doctor:你做一些运动吗？Daming:不太做。自从去年我买了电脑，我就没怎么锻炼过。Doctor:你在电脑前花费了太多的时间。它对你的健康非常有害。Daming:好的，那么我该怎么做呢？Doctor:嗯，别担心。不严重。首先，不要吃快餐食品， 并且每天吃早餐。第二，进行一些锻炼，例如跑步。而且我会给你开些药。一天吃三次。Daming:谢谢你，医生。Module4 unit2I was not feeling very well so the docror checkde my heart and said Ineeded more exercise. I have never been very active,and I do not like sports.I have always wanted a pet,so my panrents gave me a dog for my birthday.Now I get exercise by taking him for a walk every day.I have had him for three months now and I feel really healthy.Our teacher decided to start a girls football team and I thought,What a great idea!I was the first member of the team,We have played football for a year now and we all feel very fit.Our teacher is the coach,and she also takes part in the training with us.She is in excellent condition too.For the last few years,I went to work on the underground.When I got to work,I always felt very sleepy and I was not happy.I bought a bike in January.Since then,it has become part of my life.Now I ride to work every day.It is my daily exercise.I arrive at work with a smile on my face.I was weak after a long illness,so I wantde to exercise more.Then a friend suggested,Why dont we go for a run before school?So we started running a week ago.But I do not enjoy running ,and when I get to school,I feel awful.My legs hurt and I am not all over.Perhaps I am too weak to do any exercise.What do you think?我感觉很不舒服，所以医生给我检查了心脏并且说我需要更多的锻炼。我从不非常活跃，我不喜欢运动。我一直想要一只宠物，所以我的父母给了我一条狗作为生日礼物。现在，我通过每天带他散步来运动。现在我已经养他三个月了，我感觉真的很健康。我们的老师决定组建一支女子足球队，我认为：“多好的主意啊！”我是这支球队的第一位成员。现在我们已经踢足球一年了，我们都感觉很健康。我们的老师教练，并且她也和我们一起参加训练。她的身体状况也很好。在过去的几年里，我坐地铁去上班。当我工作的时候，我总是感觉很困，并且我不开心。我在一月份买了一辆自行车。从那时起，它成了我生活中的一部分。现在，我每天骑自行车上班。它是我的每日锻炼.我脸上带着微笑去工作。久病之后我很虚弱，所以我想多锻炼。然后一个朋友建议，“上学前我们为什么不跑跑步呢？”所以一周前我们开始跑步。但是我不喜欢跑步，而且当我到校的时候，我感觉不舒服。我腿疼而且全身都热。可能是我太虚弱了以至于不能做运动。你认为呢？Module5 unit1Tony: Daming, weve finished our homework.Its time to watch a cartoon.Daming: Good idea, Tony.
