9、y is sold and is second only to Christians in terms of total sales. AustriaIn Austria, some people will leave bread, water and a lighted lamp on the table before retiring on Halloween night.

France BFor more than twenty years scientists have been searching for signs of life on other planets. Most of these searches have been done over the radio.

15、 The hope is that someone in outer space may be trying to get in touch with us. Scientists also have sent radio and television messages on spaceships traveling through space, on the chance that someone may be receptive （善于接受的） to such messages. Scientists are using powerful radio telescope to listen

16、 to signals from about 1,000 stars, all within 100 light years of earth. In addition, they will scan (扫视) the entire sky to “listen” for radio messages from more distant stars. Using a computer, they will be able to monitor more than eight channels at one time. Scientists are looking for any signal

17、that stands out from the background noise.Of the 200 billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy （银河星系）, scientists find that five percent are like our sun. Perhaps half of them have a planet like earth. Such a planet would be a reasonable distance from the star for temperatures to be right for the evolut

18、ion of life. Based on the inhabitable (that can be lived in) planets in our galaxy, most scientists agree that chances are likely that one or more of these planets support some life. However, many scientists wonder whether intelligent （有智力的） life exists on other planets. Some believe that twenty yea

19、rs of searching without any intelligible （可理解的） messages shows that no one is out there. They say that the evolution of intelligence comparable to ours is unlikely.Other scientists believe that our search hasnt been long enough to rule out the possibility that intelligent life exists in our galaxy.

20、Although our sun family in only about five billion years old, our galaxy is about 20 billions years old. In that time, some scientists think it is likely that civilizations are much more advanced than ours. Perhaps these civilizations send us no signals; perhaps we have not recognized the signals th

25、 new research in the American Heart Association journal Stroke.

26、ed that:Heavy drinkers had about a 34 percent higher risk of stroke compared to light drinkers.Mid-life heavy drinkers (in their 50s and 60s) were likely to have a stroke five years earlier in life irrespective of genetic and early-life factors.Heavy drinkers had increased stroke risk in their mid-l

27、ife compared to well-known risk factors like high blood pressure and diabetes.At around age 75, blood pressure and diabetes appeared to take over as one of the main influences on having a stroke.Past studies have shown that alcohol affects stroke risk, but this is the first study to pinpoint differe

31、th risks like high blood pressure, diabetes and smoking. Among identical twin pairs, siblings(兄弟姐妹) who had a stroke drank more than their siblings who hadnt had a stroke, suggesting that mid-life drinking raises stroke risks regardless of genetics and early lifestyle.The study is consistent (一致)wit
