I love it at night.It's peaceful.And when it cools down I sometimesdo some ironing.I don't really care for it.I work fulltime and I am toobusy for most housework.I remember the old woman who taught me toiron.I was about 15 and I had to get a job taking care of a woman tomake a living.She had been an ablebodied，healthy woman until theaccident that caused her to be paralyzed.
The woman sat in an electric wheelchair all day.She could onlymove her head and arms.She would tell me how to do things.She wouldteach me in great detail on the correct ways to do things.

Today I can iron pretty well.I know where to start on a shirt and the right way to dothe trousers.Now when I think about it，I don't think she is an old lady.I think she mighthave been about my age now.Anyway，when I iron，I think of her and silently thank her forall the things I learned.

After spending years searching for a planet with life，scientistsmay have found one.In September 2010，a team of US scientistsdiscovered an Earthsized planet called Gliese 581g.It has asurface temperature neither too hot nor too cold for liquid(液态)water.Scientists think there is a chance that the planet could havelife.
The planet Gliese 581g goes around a star called Gliese 581，which is about 20 lightyears from Earth.That is about 194 trillion(万亿) kilometres-500 million times fartheraway from us than the moon.
A spacecraft travelling at a onetenth of the speed of light would reach Gliese 581gwithin about 220 years.A human can't live that long，but robotic explorers could make thejob easier.However，our fastest spacecraft don't come anywhere near that onetenth lightspeed mark.
