I like to record this consultation, so youand Mrs. Scot can play back later for anything that may not be clear to youtoday. I’m afraid that the scan results aren’t very good.

Stephen Hawking (ne[a2%> Life on other planet is likely, but intelligent life isless likely. Famed astrophysicist, Stephen Hawking has been thinking a lotabout the cosmic question: Are we alone? "The answer is probablynot," he says. "If there is life elsewhere in the universe,"Hawking says "why haven’t we stumbled onto some alien broadcasts in space?Maybe something like ’alien quiz show’? "Hawking’s comments were pan ofthe lecture at George Washington Universityon Monday in honor of NASA’s 50th anniversary. He theorized thatthere are possible answers to whether there is extraterrestrial life. Oneoption is that there likely isn’t any life elsewhere or maybe there isintelligent life elsewhere. But when it gets smart enough to send signals intospace, it’s also smart enough to make destructive nuclear weapons. Hawking sayshe prefers the third opinion. "Primitive life is very common, andintelligent life is fairly rare. " He then quickly added "Some wouldsay it has yet to occur on earth. " So should, you worry about aliens?Alien abduction claims come from the "weirdos" and are unlikely.However, because alien life might not have DNA like us, Hawking warned, "Watchout if you would meet an alien. You could be infected with a disease to whichyou have no resistance. " The 66-year-old British cosmologist who suffersfrom ALS and must speak through a mechanical device believes if the human raceis to continue for another million years, we would have to boldly go where noone has gone before. Hawking compared people who don’t want to spend money onhuman space exploration to those who opposed to the journey of ChristopherColumbus in 1492. "The discovery of the new world made a difference to theold. Just think we won’t have had a Big Mac or KFC. " ns%gb!FBJX Questions TdgK.g 4 21. What is thepassage mainly about? :c~SH/qS 22.

qd4 Obese and overweight people require more fuel totransport them and the food they eat, and the problem will worsen as thepopulation literally swells in size, a team at the London Schoolof Hygiene & Tropical Medicine says. OW@%H;b This adds to the food shortage and higher energy prices,the school’s researchers wrote in the journal Lancet on Friday. ks
C_F8Q+ At least 400 million adults worldwide are obese. TheWorld Health Organization (WHO)projects by 2015, 2. 3 billion adults will beoverweight and more than 700 million will be obese. >`0U2K In their model, the researchers pegged 40 percent of theglobal population as obese with a body mass index of near 30. Many nations arefast approaching or have surpassed this level. :awkhx BMI is a calculation of height to weight, and the normalrange is usually considered to be 18to 25, with more than 25 consideredoverweight and above 30 obese. qUd7O](b=? The researchers found that obese people require 1,680daily calories to sustain normal energy and another 1,280 calories to maintaindaily activities, 18 percent more than someone with a stable BMI. Ncz4LKzt Because thinner people cat less and arc more likely towalk than rely on cars, a slimmer population would lower demand for fuel fortransportation and for agriculture. vW=-RTRH This is also very important because 20 percent ofgreenhouse gas emission stem from agriculture. mcV<)UA} The next step is quantifying how much a heavierpopulation is contributing to climate change, higher fuel prices and foodshortage. "Promotion of a normal distribution of BMI would reduce theglobal demand for, and thus the price of, food," Edwards and Robertswrote. t,7%|
