IV. Read the following passage and then decide whether the sentences are true or false according to the passage

Our planet Earth is one of nine planets revolving around the sun, a fairly small and ordinary star, which lies in the outer areas of the Milky Way Galaxy. There are about 250 billion stars in our galaxy, and billions of galaxy in universe. People have always wondered about the possibility of intelligent life forms on other planets. In recent years, this has become serious scientific speculation. Some scientists believe that there must be large numbers of stars with planets which could support living intelligent beings. Perhaps we shall never know. The nearest star is 4.3 light years away. A light year is the distance covered by light (travelling al almost 300,000 kilometers a second), in one year. It would take the fastest Earth spacecraft about 40,000 years to reach the nearest star. For a number of years radio telescopes have been trying to pick up signals from outer space, so far without success. There are, however, millions of possible radio frequencies, and there is no reason why a completely alien civilization should not use a different type of communication, such as X-rays or even a type of wave we have not yet discovered. Suppose contacts were made with beings 300 light years away. By the lime we had sent our reply, and received their response the earth would be 600 years older. It would be an interesting, but rather slow moving conversation!

1. Nine planets but the Earth move around the sun.

2. Scientists doubt if there is intelligent life on other planets.

3. It wouldn’t be possible for the very person who sent a message to even the nearest star to receive a reply from it.

4. The universe is immense.

5. We still haven’t received any signals from outer space.

            Ever since humans have inhabited the earth, they have made use of various forms of communication  Generally, this expression of thoughts and feelings has been in the form of oral speech. When there is a language barrier, communication is accomplished through sign language in which motions stand for letters, words, and  ideas. Tourists, the deaf, and the mute have had to resort to this form of expression. Many of these symbols of the whole words are very picturesque and exact and can be used internationally, spelling, however, cannot. Body language transmits ideas or thoughts by certain actions, either intentionally or unintentionally. A wink can be a way of flirting or indicating that the party is only joking. A nod signifies approval, while shaking the head indicates a negative reaction.

Other forms of nonlinguistic language can be found in Braille (a system of raised dots read with the fingertips), signal flags, Morse code, and smoke signals. Road maps and picture signs also guide, warm, and instruct people.

While verbalization is most common form of language, other systems and techniques also express human thoughts and feelings.
