14、ally stays in a country for about two years. Then the pany moves him again. His family always goes with him. The Robinsons love seeing the world. They have been to many interesting places. For e*ample, in Egypt, they have seen the Pyramids, travelled on a boat on the Nile River, and visited the pala
15、ces and towers of ancient kings and queens. Mike and Clare have also begun to learn the language of the country, Arabic.

19、Tony: No, there arent.Daming: Why? Astronauts have already been to the moon.Tony: Yes, but no one has been to Mars yet, because Mars is very far away, much farther than the moon.

20、information on space travel?Tony: You can go online to search for the information.Daming: I will. Thank you, Tony!Unit 2 We have not found life on any other planets yet.Scientists think that there has been life on earth for hundreds of millions of years. However, we have not found life on any other
21、planets yet. The earth is a planet and it goes around the sun. Seven other planets also go around the sun.

22、all part of a much larger group of stars and planets, called the Gala*y or the Milky Way. There are billions of stars in the Gala*y, and our sun is only one of them.Scientists have also discovered many other gala*ies in the universe. They are very far away and their light has to travel for many year
23、s to reach us. So how large is the universe? It is impossible to imagine.Scientists have sent spaceships to the plant of Mars to take photos. They even have sent spaceships to travel outside the solar system. However, no spaceship has travelled far enough to reach near other stars in our Gala*y.Scie
24、ntists have always asked the question: With so many stars in the universe, are we alone, or is there life out there in space? Have there been visitors to the earth from other planets?
