At present，scientists don't know what the surface might be like on Gliese 581g.Whatthey know is that the planet is at the right distance from its star to have liquid water.It'salso at the right distance to have an atmosphere that could protect that water if it is on thesurface.
Although spacecraft won't be getting there anytime soon，one way to look for life onGliese 581g is to turn our radio telescopes(望远镜) towards the planet and search forradiation(放射).By studying the radiation，scientists could find out about the chemicals(化学物质) around the planet and discover if Gliese 581g has an atmosphere.If it has one，studying the atmosphere would give us a good idea if the planet has life or not.But it'llprobably be many years before we can do this properly.
People have been arguing about whether there is alien life on Gliese 581g.Anydiscussion about alien life is just guessing at this point，according to its discoverers.

“USA？ Britain？ Which country is better to study in？”We often hear such discussions.
As China opens its door，it is a dream for many Chinese students to study abroad.They want to learn about the outside world.
It's true that studying abroad can help students develop themselves.Their foreign language skills will be improved and it may be easier to find jobs.
But there are problems that should be considered.Language is the first.Students must spend a lot of time learning another language.
Students must also learn to live without parents care and deal with all kinds of things they haven't had to do before，like looking after themselves.There are reports about Chinese students abroad running into an ocean of difficulties and giving up finally.When they have to take care of themselves，it is hard for students to study well.
Finally，studying abroad brings a heavy burden(负担) to the family.For most Chinese parents，the cost of studying abroad is very high.But is it worth it？
We know that there are many famous people who have achieved success through their hard work in China.Liu Xiang is a good example.Once an American teacher invited him there，but he refused.He kept training hard with his Chinese teacher.He surprised the world when he won a gold medal at the Athens Olympic Games.So when you wonder which country is better to study in，think again.
