For years scientists have been arguing about whether nature or nurture (后天) decides what people
will be like. Is it nature —what people are 1 with—that decides what they will be like? 2 is it nurture—what 3 to people when they are born —that decides what they will be like?
Scientists have been studying twins to 4 if they can Hnd the answer,because twins start out with the 5 DNA. Sometimes twins don't live together at birth and grow up in different 6 and different places —so the nature is the same for both,but the nurture is different.
When scientists 7 these twins in their later life,they some times find some surprising 8 .
Jim Springer and Jim Lewis were adopted (收養(yǎng)) by two different families at birth. They first met each other again thirty-nine years 9 and discovered they had a lot in 10 . Both had been 11 twice. Their first wives were both named Linda and their second wives were both named Betty!
Each twin had a son —one called his son James Alan and the 12 called his son James Alan,too. Their children each had a dog called “Toy”. They even arrived at their first 13 in the same color of car.
So far twin 14 seem to show that both nature and nurture are important. What we have from birth,and how and where we live help to build 15 we are.

Is there intelligent (有智力的) life on other planets? For years,scientists said “no. ” or “we、don't know."But today this is changing. Seth Shostak and Alexandra Barnett are astronomers (天文車家).
They believe intelligent life exists (存在) somewhere in the universe. They also think we will soon con-tact 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. uThis is long e-
nough 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 (哈勃望遠鏡) 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 Earth.
In the past,it was hard to look for signs of intelligent life in the universe. But now,powerful tele-
scopes (高倍望遠鏡) allow scientists to discover smaller planets—the size of Mars or Earth—m other
solar systems. These planets might have intelligent life. Have beings from space already visited Earth?
“Probably not ,” says Shostak. “It's a long way away. However,intelligent beings may contact us in other way,such as radio signals (信號). In fact,they may be trying to communicate with us now,but we don't 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.

A. There were not any smaller planets.
B. There were not any powerful telescopes.
C. The astronomers were not interested in them.
D. The Milky Way didn't exist at that time.
() 4. Why haven 51 beings from space visited us yet according to Shostak?
A. They'e afraid of us. B. It's a long way away.
C. They don't want to see us. D. They don't know how to use radio signals.
