Most scientists believe that for another planet to have life on it, it must be similar to Earth in several ways.
It is likely to need an atmosphere (air) and water. It also must orbit a star, like the Sun, at a good distance.
This star would provide the right amount of light and heat for life to exist.
Scientists have studied planets and moons in our solar system to see if they can support life. Space probes
have searched for traces of bacteria or other tiny living things on Mars. Some scientists are also looking for
the possibility of life outside our solar system. Using radio telescopes, they hope to capture signals from
intelligent aliens.
So far, no evidence of extraterrestrial life has been found. However, scientists have discovered hundreds of
planets that orbit distant stars. Some of these planets are an ideal distance from their stars, and some are
roughly the size of Earth. It may be possible that life has developed on one or more of them.

VI. Read the following passage, then choose the correct answer. (1 pt)
After a long day outside, you want to come home to do all the things you like, not the housework. In
the near future you may not have to do all this work thanks to new technology. Imagine walking into your
house and finding that the lights, the heating and even the radio are already turned on. They are all given the
command by your car!
In a very short time, all household appliances will have a chip that will allow them to “talk” to other
appliances and be connected to the Internet so that they can be controlled from anywhere. Do you forget to
turn off your microwave oven? Let your cell phone do that. Your refrigerator is always full of essential food
items because it sends the store a message when you run out of something. This way, technology will
change our lives in the next 15 years or so. But, what will happen if we become so dependent on
technology? One thing is clear: every step into the future must be taken carefully.
