VII. Read the passage carefully, then do the tasks.

Scientists say it could take at least 1,500 years before humans make contact with species of aliens, or for them to communicate with or find us. Astronomers from Cornell University in the USA combined two existing theories about the possibility of life existing on other planets to form a new equation. One of these theories is the Fermi Paradox described by physicist Enrico Fermi in 1950. This States that while billions of Earth-like planets exist in our galaxy, not One has made contact with Earth yet. The other is the principle, which suggests that because there is life on Earth, it will typically exist on Earth-like planets throughout the universe.

“We haven’t heard from aliens yet, as space is a big place, but that doesn’t mean no one is out there,” study author and Cornell astronomy student Evan Solomonides said. According to Solomonides, extraterrestrials could have received signals from Earth. However, he suggests that ET would not have been able to decode them. He said they would need to decode the light waves into sounds and analyse 3,000 human languages to understand any messages. He said that signals from Earth have only reached about 8,500 stars and that the Milky Way galaxy alone contains 200 billion stars. He added: “If we stop listening or looking, we may miss the signals, so we should keep looking.”

Decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F).

56. Scientists say humans are unlikely to hear from aliens for at least 1,500 years.

57. Another theory said there is life on Earth so there will be on other planets.

58. So far Earth’s broadcast signals have reached around 8,500 stars.

60. Cornell astronomers examined 20 different theories on whether aliens exist.

VIII.Read the passage carefully, and then answer the questions below.

Netiquette is the etiquette or good manners of using the Internet. Being friendly and polite shows good manners both offline and online. You should ask someone's permission before posting anything about them on the web or sharing their emails, photo, or chat conversations. You need to make sure they know you are sharing it and agree with it.

If your friend gives you permission to forward something, be sure to protect them by removing any personal information like their name and email address, and remove any parts that have nothing to do with what you want to share.

  If someone is rude in cyberspace, you have a choice between joining in and making it worse walking away from it. If their attacks are directed at you, you can block them and talk to a trusted adult about how to best deal with them before responding.
