Ⅴ. Reading Comprehension

Many of us have read stories or seen films about space-creatures. They come to Earth in spaceships that look like flying saucers. These space-creatures do not look like human beings at all, but they are usually very intelligent. In one film, they were tiny little men with large heads. When they landed on Earth, they knew exactly what to do. They went straight to the President's palace and made him their prisoner!

The stories about space-creatures are, of course, not ture. Space-creatures exist only in story-books and in films, just like giants and fairies.

But many scientists are asking this question. Is there life on other planets? There are millions of planets in the Universe, and Earth is just one of them. Human beings have lived on Earth for thousands of years. Could there be living things on other planets too? Many people believe that the other planets in the Universe are not suitable for living things. They are either too hot or too cold. Some of them have

poisonous gases on them that will kill any living thing.

Are scientists sure that there is no life on other planets?

At this stage we still cannot be sure. All the planets, except the Moon and Mars, are so far away that it will take hundreds of years for our spaceships to reach them!

A famous actor often had to travel by train. Of course, a lot of his fellow passengers used to recognize him on his journeys, and some of them tried to get into conversation with him, but he was usually feeling tired after acting until late the night before, so he did not encourage them to talk to him.

One day he had just got into the train with all his luggage when a young man came and sat down in the seat opposite him. The young man took out a book and began to read it, while the actor tried to get some sleep in his corner of the carriage.

When he opened his eyes, he found that the young man was looking at him with his mouth open, his book forgotten. The actor shut his eyes and tried to sleep again, but every time he opened them, the young man was looking at him with the same fixed look. At last he gave up the attempt to sleep, took out a newspaper, put it up in front of him and began to read.

After a few moments the young man cleared his throat and spoke. "I beg your pardon, sir," he said, "but haven't I seen you somewhere before?"

The actor did not answer. He did not even put his newspaper down.

The young man said nothing more for several minutes, but then he tried again. "I beg your pardon, sir," he said, "but are you going to San Francisco?"

The actor put his paper down this time, looked at the young man severely

without saying a word, and then put the paper up in front of him again.

This time there was an even longer pause before the young man spoke again. Then he said in a last attempt to start a conversation with the great man, "I am George P. Anderson of Wilmington, Vermont."

His victim, who picked up the ticket, then claimed the $25,000 prize, managed to trace him, and handed over the crash. The robbery happened when maths professor Vinicio Sabbatucci, 58, was changing a tyre on an Italian motorway. Another motorist, who stopped "to help", stole a suitcase from his car and drove off.

Zinc is one of about 20 elements necessary for good health. It is present in the body in a very small amount, but it makes it possible for important chemical actions to be carried out in cells. Scientists are just beginning to discover how zinc and other elements work.

Researchers first studied zinc as a way to speed recovery. Dr. Waltor Powys, formerly with the United States Air Force, noted that the laboratory animals recovered faster when some substances were added to their food. One of these substances was zinc. Dr. Powys later tested the zinc treatment on an American airman recovering from medical operations. The airman who received zinc sulphate(硫酸锌) recovered in half of the usual time. Other doctors studied persons who had a number of strange disorders. The doctors learned that all of these problems were caused by a lack of zinc in the body. They treated these disorders successfully by giving the patients zinc sulphate.

The amount of zinc in the body can be found by examining the blood and hair. A lack of this important element it not uncommon among people in both industrial and development countries. Zinc is found in most high protein foods, such as meat, milk, fish and eggs. It is also found in whole grains. But many people do not eat enough of these foods. Food makers should add these elements so that more people could get needed amounts of these essential substances.
