They have supported me, given me necessary criticism (批评) , and taught me a lot about how to live my life.Parents are our first teachers in our lives. They are not always the best teachers but very important. Parents may be too close to their children emotionally(感情上). Sometimes they can only see their children through the eyes of a protector. For example, a teacher might see a trip to a big city as a valuable experience. However, it might seem too dangerous to a parent.Another problem is that parents may expect their childrens interests to be similar to their own. If they love science, they may try to force their child to love science, too. But what if(要是又怎样) their childs true love is art, or writing, or car repair?Parents usually want to pass on their values to their children. But should children always believe what their parents do? When children are young, they believe that their parents are always right. But when they get older, they will have different ways of thinking.The most important thing to realize is that we all have many teachers in our lives. Our parents teach us, our teachers teach us, and our friends teach us. Books and newspapers and television also teach us. All of them are valuable. （1）Why does the writer feel lucky? A .

For years, scientists said no or we dont know. But today this is changing. Seth Shostak and Alexandra Barnett are astronomers（天文学家）. They believe intelligent life exists（存在） somewhere in the universe. They also think we will soon contact these beings（人生物）.Why do Shostak and Barnett think intelligent life exists on other planets? The first reason is time. Scientists believe the universe is about 12 billion years old. This is long enough for other planets to have intelligent life, say Shostak and Barnett. The second reason is size-the universe is huge. Tools like the Hubble Telescope（哈勃望远镜） have shown that there are at least 100 billion galaxies, says Shostak. And our galaxy, the Milky Way, has at least 100 billion stars.Some planets going around these stars might be similar to the Earth.In the past, it was hard to look for signs of intelligent life in the universe. But now, powerful telescopes（高倍望远镜） allow scientists to discover smaller planets-the size of Mars or the Earth-in other solar systems. These planets might have intelligent life.Have beings from space already visited the Earth? Probably not, says Shostak. Its a long way away. However, intelligent beings may contact us in other ways, such as radio signals（信号）. In fact, they may be trying to communicate with us now, but we dont have the right tools to receive their messages. However, this is changing. By 2025, we could make contact with other life forms in our universe and we might help each other.（1）Seth Shostak and Alexandra Barnett are . A . astronomersB . farmersC . singersD . drivers（2）What is the best title for Paragraph 2? A . The Age and Size of the EarthB . Our Galaxy; The Milky WayC . Why Intelligent Life Might ExistD . The Earth: The Only Planet with Intelligent Life（3）Why was it hard to look for signs of intelligent life in the universe in the past? A . Because there were not any smaller planets.B . Because there were not any powerful telescopes.C . Because the astronomers were not interested in them.D . Because the Milky Way didnt exist at that time.（4）Why havent beings from space visited us yet according to Shostak? A . Because theyre afraid of us.B . Because its a long way away.C . Because they dont want to see us.D . Because they dont know how to use radio signals.（5）What does the underlined phrase life forms in the last paragraph mean? A . Messages.B . Tools.C . Intelligent beings.D . Radio signals.二、 任务型阅读(共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分) (共1题；共10分)5. （10分）阅读表格，完成下列各题。 Writer Club Information: Do you enjoy writing? Join us!
