Scientists have discovered the first Earth-sized planet. It was first marked by scientists’ using NASA’s Kepler telescope(望远镜), so it’s called Kepler-186f. It lies about 500 light years from Earth and goes around its star. The planet is the right distance from its star for water: not too close or not too far. Water is one important condition that scientists guess is necessary for life. So it could have water and possible life. It’s called a true Earth cousin.
“This planet is an Earth cousin, not an Earth twin, ”said Barclay, who is among a team of scientists reporting on the discovery in the magazine Science this week.
“It’s very exciting to find a planet similar to the Earth, ”Barclay said. “It’s not easy work because things change as we get more measurements.”
Scientists don’t know anything about the air of Kepler-186f, but it will be a task for future telescopes which can study for chemicals that have something to do with life.
“It’s possible for life to live in this planet, but that doesn’t mean there is life in it，”Barclay said.
So far, scientists have found nearly 1, 800 planets in the universe.
“The past year has seen a lot of progress in the search for Earth-like planets. Kepler-186f is very important because it is the first planet that is the same temperature and is almost the same size as Earth, ”scientist David Charbonneau wrote in an email.

The first day of school, our professor introduced an old lady Rose to us.“Why are you in college at such an age?” I asked her. She replied, “I always dreamed of having a college education and now I’m getting one!” We became friends quickly.
At the end of the term I invited Rose to make a speech to our football team. I’ll never forget what she taught us. She said, “There are some secrets of staying young and being happy. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You must have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you will die. There is a huge difference between growing old and growing up. Anybody can grow older. That doesn’t need any talent or ability. To grow up, you must always find the opportunity in change. Have no regrets. The people who are afraid of death are those with regrets.”

Do you want to know anything about staying in America? Well, Let me tell you the truth, it is really an eye-opening experience to study here.
In China, I had English classes five times a week since the fifth grade. However didn’t know textbook English was very different from everyday English until I came to Hotchkiss School, Connecticut.
When I first studied English, I was told to say，“I am fine” when people say “How are you?” But in the US, I found that people say, “I am good” or “I am tired.”
One day, someone greeted me with “What’s up?” It made me confused. I thought for a moment and then smiled because I didn’t know what to say. Since then, I have discovered more and more differences between Chinese and the US cultures. To my surprise, the US girls spend a lot of time in burning sun getting a tan （晒黑）. However, in China, girls try every possible way to get their skin paler（白的）.
I am also surprised by how hardworking the US students are. In China, schoolwork is almost everything, so we study hard all the time. But here, an “excellent” student gets good grades, does a lot for the public and plays sports or music .The kids here are so talented，I am starting to be sorry that I gave up playing the piano at an early age and that I have never thought about sports.
