16、e coming from a very small bodyno bigger, perhaps, than the earth. Was that why no light could be seen from it? Or were the signals coming from a planet that belonged to some other star?There was no end to the questions, but the scientists kept the news secret. “Perhaps there are intelligent beings
17、out there,” they thought, “who are trying to send messages to other planets, or to us!” So the news was not given to the newspapers.

24、s of women. During the twentieth century there was an unusual shortening of the time of a womans life spent in caring for children.

29、relationship in marriage, with both husband and wife accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfaction of family life, and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money and running the home, according to the abilities and interest of each of them.(20分)26).
