the methods get better the chances of finding extra-terrestrial life also get better

SETI uses radio telescopes 10 try to find signals from other planets. The brggest project is the Allen Telescope
Array which has 42 radio telescopes near San Francisco. Cahforn,a.

Today there are 15.000 members of SETI m 60 countnes on all seven cont,nents of the world and there are SETI
projects in the USA, Australia and I taly.

SETI doesn't send signals ,nto space; ,t only listens to fird out if there are other l,fe forms. The organisa11on that
sends messages mto space is METI ('Messaging to Extra-Terrestnal lntelhgence·).

Many scientists don't think it is a good idea 10 send messages 10 other planets, because they think it is
dangerous to tell other planets about the location of Eanh. Sending messages 10 other planets is also very slowl

Most of us would like to be more intelligent and have better memories, wouldn't we?
<•> a lt seems that we can! Sdentists now believe we can 'exercise'
our brains just like our bodies, to help them be at their best.
Sorne computer game designers have invented
special brain tTaining games. These games have
become popular with people of ali ages - not just
teenagers. lottie, 88, is a big fan. 'Until ayear ago, 1
couldn't even imagine using a games console. (,)
t lfke playing these games, and t love getting the highest

The manager of the home agreed to buy the games for
the residents because she believed they would be good for them.
•<3> Residents stay healthy and they have fun, too. lt's perfect!'

But do these games really work? Scientists

have studied the games and the people
who play them. <•> People who played
the games every day were slightly better at
doing quizzes than people who didn't play
the games. However, don't buy a game if you
want to have a bigger IQ, pass ali your exams or
get a better job. (s)

Scientists have found that there are better (and

cheaper) ways that we can keep our minds fit. Sorne
experts recommend leaming a new subject. One of the
best things you can do doesn't cost anything atall-
everyone can afford to do itl Research shows that people

ave you ever seen this game before? You probably have, beca use the game
H has been around fer about 2,000 years. But you might not know that it is
impossible to win this game. Read on and don't lose money on this trick!
The game requires three shells (or bottle caps, plastic cupsor match boxes) and
a small, soft, round ball. You can play it on almost any flat surface. The person
who controls the game (the operator) puts the ball under one of the shells and
then quickly moves the shells around. Then the operator asks where the ball
is. lf the player guesses correctiy, he/she wins two times his/her money. lf the
player doesn't guess correctly, he/she loses the money.
Beware! lt is not possible for the player to win the game if the operator does not
want h1m/her to.
A clever operator can take a ball from under any shell and put it under another
shell without the player seeing. This means that you cannot win by warching
the movement of the shell or the hands of the operator. The ball will always be
under a different shell from the one you think.
lf the operator thinks a player understands the uick or a person just wants to
watch, the other people at the table (who are working with the operator) try
to move the player away from the table. The shell game (its common name) is
quick and simple to set up. lt is also quick and easy to put away. So if the police
come, the operator simply hides the game in his pockets and walks away.
The shell game is a common game in parts of rhe world where there are a lot
of tourists. Be careful and don't play- you won't win.

contained $18 and six lottery rickecs. lt belonged to
Jean-Guy Lavigueur, a French-Canadian. William rerurned
the waller immediately by posting it to ¡ean-Guy, but he
kept the lottery tickets. Later that day he checked the lottery
tickets and discovered that one of the tickets was worth over
$7 million! This was such a big surprise that at first he didn't
know what to do. He finally decided to return the tickets.
Jean-Guy had fourchildren but his wife was dead. Jean-Guy's
son opened the door to William. William was an English
speaker who didn't speak Frencb. However, the Lavigueur
family only spoke French. The family were such suspicious
people that when Lavigueur's son didn't understand
William. he told him ro go away.
The next day William returned to the Lavigueur home w:th
a íriend who spoke French.Jean-Guy Lavigueur was so
surprised at the news oí his big win that he invited William
for a drink. When he found out the whole story he was
so grateíul to William that he offered him a share of che
prize. The prize money was shared berween Jean-Guy, his
daughter Sylvie (19), his sonsMichel (14) and Yve (18), at1d
his brother-in-law, Jean-Marie Daudelin, who had helped
him raise che family since his wife died. The only child
who didn't receive any money was Louise, who did not
give money to buy the tickets. Both Jean-Guy Lavigueur
