      We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about mogey. But most mistakes are about people. “Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?” “Whe”n“I got that great job,did jim really feel good about it,as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?” “And why wasn’t Paul friendly just because I had a carWhen we look back,thoughts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back,it's too late.

      Why do we go wrong about our friends? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we don^ really listen,we miss the feeling behind the words. Sometimes someone tells you,“You’re a lucky dog." That's friendly. But “l(fā)ucky dog”？There's a bit of envy in those words.Maybe he doesn^ see it himself. But bringing in the ^dog^ puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesnrt think that you can have such good luck

     “Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for” is another example that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life. But is he? It's telling you to think of all the hungry people in the whole world when you haven’t got a ciate (約會) for Saturday night.

      How can you tell the real meaning behind someone's words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says agree with the tone (語調(diào)) of voice? His posture (姿態(tài)) ？

Tfie look in his eyes? Stop and thii^ik. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of the words may save another mistake.

六、閱讀理解(20分)

                  (A) 

     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 (天文學家) .They believe intelligent life exists (存在) somewhere in the universe. They also think we will soon contact these beings.

     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 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 (哈勃望遠鏡) have shown that there are at least 100 billion galaxies (銀河) ，” 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 wa^s hard to look for signs of intelligent life in the universe. But now,powerful telescopes allow scientists to discover smaller planets —the size of Mars or Earth— in 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 ways,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."
