Astronomers working at Berkeley and Geneva have found nine new planets circling nearby stars. With this discovery,we now know of 50 extra-solar planets,also called exoplanets. That is a big increase from 41 planets last known five years ago.
All these individual (单个的) planets move in an orbit around a star,which is called their parent star. The astronomers estimate that the Beta Pictoris star (绘架座(3 星) has a planet ten times the mass of Earth. It orbits (环绕轨道运行) at a distance of about 10. 5 billion kilometers,more than ten times the distance of the earth from the sun. And Vega (织女星) ，one of the brightest stars in the sky appears to have a planet twice the mass of Jupiter (木星) ，the largest planet in our solar system. This planet is 8 billion kilometers from its parent star. In comparison,our solar system seems almost tiny. The distance between Pluto (冥王星) ，the farthest planet in our solar system and the sun is “just” 5. 9 billion kilometers!
根据短文内容，回答下列问题。
1. With this discovery,how many extra-solar planets are discovered?
2. Is Vega the only one brightest star in the sky?
3. Which planet is the largest in our solar system?
4. Which planet is the farthest planet in the solar system?

Why help others?
The question often comes to my mind;why should I help others when I have everything with me and I don't need any help from anyone? Let's d 1 this point why help should be given to others and what e 2 it has on the helper.
We all know that man is a s 3 animal. He cannot live alone forever. If a man is kept a 4 for a long time,he may be mad. So this is in the very nature of man to mingle up with other members of his species.
While living together,situations appear when everyone has to d 5 on others for one thing or another. It could be a small thing like requesting to pick up something or other big jobs.
If we help someone,it builds a c 6 in them. They develop self-confidence. Self-esteem is one of the basic needs of humans. When someone is helped,particularly,w 7 asking for it,a sense of self-realization is achieved. This will always pay back to the helper in future in one way or another. When we help someone,it gives an inner pleasure to us b 8 this is also human nature. It gives us a sense of satisfaction that further develops to a sense of belonging,which is actually the basis of a society. Society is a g 9 of people living together that have some sort of r 10 among them. If we help someone and the one helps someone else,a chain reaction is started which is beneficial for the society.

None of us enjoy feeling sad. But sadness is a natural healthy emotion that tells us something important about our lives and should never be ignored!
★ Let it out Have you ever had a good cry and felt better after? That's because crying is a physical outlet that allows us to move through emotion.
★If you are feeling sad right now,read this then to honor how you feel. You are feeling sad for a good reason. Sometimes we can change the situation that's making us feel sad and sometimes we can't. For example,if the last of your grown up kids is leaving home and you will miss them; you can't make them stay. But by working through these feelings rather than running away from them,you will discover them easing,leaving room for more positive emotions.
★ Spend some time alone with your sadness. Play sad songs or read sad poems,or look at photos that bring these feelings to the fore,and let the tears flow. Only when you touch the depth of your feelings will you start to push your way off the bottom to resurface a more rounded and wiser person,ready to smile and feel joyful again.
★ Spend time with friends or people who can relate to your feelings. When you are with people who you love,they will make it easy to cheer you up. You can call a friend or loved one who you can tell your sad story to,and maybe they’ll help you.

I can not do the same thing.
