根据短文理解,完成下列各题。

      Our sun is a star, and nine worlds (天体) move round it. Worlds like these are planets. But here are other stars, other suns, not only thousands of them, but millions of them. Do different stars have planets? We can see the planets round our own sun. But we haven't been anymore. The stars are too far away from us. Stars give out light, but the planets don't have any light of their own. So we can't see them. They are too far, and too dark. Still, we can tell that some stars have planets. While a big planet goes round, it pulls its star to one side. And sometimes we can see this. Then we know that the star has a planet. For example, Barnard's Star is a small red star. And it is the quickest star in the universe. But sometimes it moves slower, and then quicker again. We have known Bernard''s Star for many years, and now we are sure it has a planet.

(1)、A star is a large body in the universe. It _________.  

A、moves round our sun B、has light of its own   C、can also be called a sun D、both B and C
(2)、Which of the following is not true?

A、The earth is one of the sun's world's  B、There are millions of suns in the universe   C、The world's are very bright D、some stars have planets
(3)、We can see the planets round our sun. But we can't see ________.  

A、nine worlds in the universe B、the planets round other stars   C、the satellites round the earth D、other stars
(4)、Barnard's Star moves more quickly than ________.

A、most stars B、any other star C、its planet D、the planets round the sun
(5)、How can people know that there is a planet round Barnard's Star?

A、Sometimes they see that the planet pulls the star to one side and makes it move slower.   B、The planet is shining        C、The planet is next to our earth.  D、The planet is a red one.

    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(天文学家). They believe intelligent life exists (存在) somewhere in the universe. They also think we sill soon contact 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. “This 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(哈勃望远镜) 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 telescopes(高倍望远镜) 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 way, such as radio signals(信号). 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.”
