5、tremely cold temperature. EuropaEuropa Europa is one of Jupiters moons here in our own solar system. It is another candidate due to its potential to hold liquid water. Europa is thought to have all the necessities for life including water, energy sources, and the right chemical build-up. MarsMars -
6、1 - The Red Planet, the fourth from the Sun, is probably one of the most talked-about potential candidates for extraterrestrial( 地 球 外 的 ) life and even for human colonization.

In fact, I was a victim of a gender stereotype made stronger since birth, that men do science and maths and women do arts or languages. Computer science, techn
11、ology and physics just did not figure in my teenage world view. Nobody popular in my school chose to study those subjects. Reality struck hard when I began attending job interviews and interviewers would - 2 - say: “Its great that you speak foreign languages, but what else do you do?” Nobody asked m
12、y friends who had studied science or technology those questions. A survey recently showed that three of the best-paid jobs for women are in the technology sector.

14、 five-year-old daughter. I dont want her to blindly follow gender roles the way I did. I want her to know the fact that a science or technical degree will not limit her creativity but expand it and broaden her horizons far more than my arts background could.

18、fiths and her colleagues each morning as they walked deep into the rainforest in the Maliau Basin in Borneo, where they had set up a set of experiments to look at the ecological effects of small creatures: termites (白蚁). Termites get a bumbum raprap. They make headlines for chewing up billions of do
19、llars of property each year in the U. S. And they are responsible for something like two percent of global carbon emissions, simply as a result of their huge populations and preference for chewing through carbonrich materials. A whole industry is aiming at killing them. But they play a key role in m
20、any natural ecosystems. Scientists have known for years t hat in tropical (热带的) forests, termites chew up fallen leaves and dead wood, keeping the fallen material under control and letting nutrients from the dead material back into the system to be used by other plants, insects, and animals.

22、extreme drought (干旱). During the non-drought years, they saw there wasnt much difference between the normal plots and the ones where theyd removed the termites.
