Exercise 5. Đọc đoạn văn dưới đây rồi chọn trả lời câu hỏi.
Our planet Earth is one of nine planets revolving around the sun, a failry small and ordinary star, which
lies in the outer areas of the Milky Way Galaxy. There’re about 250 billion stars in our galaxy, and billions
of galaxies in universe. People have always wondered about the possibility of intelligent life forms on other
planets. In recent years, this has become serious scientific specualtion. Some scientists believe that there
must be large number of stars with planets which could support living intelligent beings. Perhaps we shall
never know. The nearest star is 4.3 light years away. A light year is the distance covered by light ( travelling
at almost 300.000 kilometres a second ) in one year. It would take the fastest Earth spacecraft about 40,000
years to reach the nearest star. For a number of years radio telescopes have been trying to pick up signals
from outer space, so far without success. There are, however, millions of possible radio frequencies , and
there is no reason why a completely alien civilization should not use a different type of communication ,
such as X – rays or even a type of wave we have not yet discovered. Suppose contact were made with beings
300 light years away. By the time we had sent our reply, and received their response the earth would be 600
years older. It would be an interesting, but rather slow moving conversation.
