10、near Fifteenth Street, just around the corner from my office. How was that day? the first sign of spring floated across the East River, mixing with the soft coal smoke from the factories and the street smells of the poor neighborhood.

16、 especially, we were quite out off from the outside world. As soon as I left school, I packed my bags and moved to the capital. However, I soon discovered that my life has its too. Money is a big advantage. Going out costs so much, not to mention basics like food and housing. Another disadvantage is
17、 pollution. I suffer from asthma (哮喘), and the air is so bad that I am afraid to go outside. Then there is the problem of traveling round.

23、hat someone may be receptive to such Message. Scientists are using powerful radio telescopes to listen to signals from about 1,000 stars, all within 100 light years off Earth.
