Every time he looked, his desire for the coat grew stronger and his resolution not to give away Polly became weaker.9.To each her to think appeared to be a very bigtask and at first I even thought of giving her back to Petey.10.There is a limit to what any human being canbear.Unit six1.The fact that we do not have evidence showingthat there is life beyond Earth does not mean that we can come to the conclusion that there is actually no life beyond Earth. 2.…examining these planets to see if thesurrounding atmosphere can be identified as fitting for life.3.Those who are optimistic think that as time goeson, they will someday get the signal sent out by an alien civilization.4.Originally, we regard our world as the only onein the universe which is inhabited by intelligent humans, but we need to change our view and regard this world as one of many in the universe.5.Neither those who genuinely believe that spacealiens are lurking in our midst nor those who firmly reject such an idea are likely to change their views and join the other side.6.The alien is a character used too much inHollywood films so it has become hackneyed but the idea of extraterrestrial life was not first brought up by Hollywood.7.…the fact that no life had been detected on Marswas a terrible blow to exobiology which did not recover from the blow in the following twenty years.8.Everyone knew that if what appeared to bemicrofossils were confirmed to be such, then the discovery would be of historic significance;but if they proved to be something else, the adverse effect that followed would be equally dramatic.9.…if evolution on Earth were to take place asecond time, a human being who is genetically similar to us would be the result of such evolution.10.Since there is so much work we need to do herein this world(since there are so many issues we need to address in this world), let us first concentrate on doing something solid research (on addressing these issues) and drop discussions about drafting messages to another civilization out there.Unit seven1.It took me a long time to get rid of illusionsand realize the simple and apparent truth thatI am nobody but myself.

Washington.5.On the one hand, I felt so embarrassed that Iwanted to run away form the ballroom. On the other hand, I took pity on the girl and so wanted to protect the naked girl form the eyes of the other men. I wanted to love her tenderly because she was an attractive girl, but at the same time,I wanted to destroy her because after all shewas the immediate cause of our embarrassment.6.If I should try my best and win the fight, thenI would be winning against the bet of that whiteman, who shouted “I got my money on the big boy.”In that case I would not behave with humility, and yet my speech talked about humility as the essence of success. So maybe I should let that big boy win without putting up resistance, for this was time for me to show humility.7.Make full use of what you have and do the bestyou can. Take this attitude in making friends in every honorable way, making friends with people of different races among whom we live.8.You were not trying to seem clever in adisrespectful way, were you, boy?
