EXPANSION Units 1-4 2 Reading Before Reading 1. Do you think there is life on other planets? 2. If there were life on other planets, how could we find this out? IS ANYBODY OUT THERE? Are humans the only intelligent life in the universe? Or, are we just one of many advanced civilizations out there? While people used to assume we were alone in the universe, we now know that the galaxy contains over 100 billion stars. This fact has led many scientists to think it unlikely that we are the only intelligent life form in the universe. Some of these scientists have devoted themselves to searching for other civilizations. This search is commonly referred to as the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, or SETI. Since the SETI program began in 1959, scientists have been scanning the sky for signals sent by another alien civilization. To do this, they used the world's largest radio telescope which is located in Arecibo, Puerto Rico. The Arecibo telescope is 1,000 feet (305 meters) in diameter. This telescope is so large, it is said that it could hold 10 billion bowls of cornflakes! Prior to its partial collapse on December 1, 2020, the telescope collected and sent data to SETI computers 24 hours a day. Many people don't realize that in addition to searching for radio waves, we humans are sending them out into space as well. This is because all of the radio and television signals that come into our homes also travel into space. We have been constantly and unintentionally leaking radio waves Arecibo Radio Telescope into space for over sixty years now. One day these signals may be detected by an alien civilization. In fact, it is possible that aliens are already listening to Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, CSI, and The Simpsons! Although SETI has found some unexplained signals, there have not been any clear, confirmed extraterrestrial signals yet. However, SETI scientists are not at all discouraged. They know that the universe is vast, and searching the entire sky for a distant signal is like searching for a needle in a haystack. Not only are SETI scientists not discouraged, they are actually more optimistic than ever before. They do feel that in another 50 or 100 years, they will have succeeded in detecting alien signals. What is the reason for this confidence? Previous searches were limited by the shortcomings of available technology. For example, while there are hundreds of billions of stars in our galaxy, fewer than a thousand have been monitored for alien signals. But technology is improving all the time. As technology improves, scientists are going to have a better chance of picking up alien signals. In the next few decades, hundreds of thousands of stars, maybe even millions, will have been monitored. وزارة التعليم Ministry 64ication 2024-1446 MG_03_COMBO_TEXT_2024.indb 64 30/4/24 3:04 AM

IS ANYBODY OUT THERE?

وزارة التعليم Ministry of Education 2024-1446 O Dan Wertheimer, a SETI researcher at the University of California in Berkeley, says, "We're making incredible progress. The more computing power you have, the better job you can do looking for these signals. Capabilities have been doubling every year." One reason SETI's computing power has been increasing is a volunteer program started in 1999 called SETI@home, in which the computers of ordinary people around the world are used to analyze SETI data. Through the SETI@home program, volunteers download a special SETI screensaver to their home computer. When the computers are not in use and go into screensaver mode, the computers begin to analyze data gathered by the Arecibo radio telescope. The home computers search through the data for any signals that may have been created by an alien civilization. There are currently over 5 million volunteers in 225 countries participating in this program. Wertheimer says, “If you're the lucky one that finds that distant signal, then you might get the Nobel Prize, but you'll have to share it with 2 million people around the world who are helping us analyze that data." Some people find it hard to believe that perhaps one day we will be communicating with aliens from distant planets. But others feel differently. Eighty-six-year-old Daniel Jackman says, "When I was a young man, if you had told me that one day we were going to send people into space, I would've told you that you were crazy. Now I know better. Just because we're used to certain limitations doesn't mean we can't go beyond them." We may well learn one day that we are not alone in the universe. In the meantime, when sitting on your couch, watching your favorite TV program, consider that an alien civilization may be listening to it with you! 1. -23 4565 2. diameter detected After Reading A.

Developing Your Writing: Prewriting Techniques Prewriting is an important first step in the writing process. Prewriting helps you explore and gather your ideas before you begin organizing and writing your essay. These are some of the most common types of prewriting techniques: Freewriting: Freewriting involves taking the time (usually about five minutes) to write down all of the ideas you have about your topic before you begin researching or organizing the topic. When you freewrite, do not worry about using correct spelling, grammar, or punctuation, or even writing in complete sentences. Brainstorming: Like freewriting, the purpose of brainstorming is to capture all of the ideas you have on a topic before you begin writing about it. However, when you brainstorm you only write words or phrases related to your topic. Questioning: Ask the journalist's five W's-Who? What? When? Where? Why?—about the topic. List as many questions as you can about the topic. This will help you start thinking about questions to research and answer in your essay. The Past, Present, and Future of the Telephone Telephones are so something we all take for granted. We are so used to having them that it is hard to imagine that they were only invented a little over 100 years ago. Just think, at the beginning of the twentieth century there were fewer than four million phones in the world. And if you wanted to speak with another person over the phone, you would need an operator to make the connection between you and the other person. Telephone technology has changed a lot over the last 100 years, and I believe in just another ten or twenty years it will have changed radically from what it is today... 67 30/4/24 3:04 AM
