Acupuncture – or having needles pushed into 19
YOU skin to treat an illness has had an important role in Eastern medicine for over 4 000 years. And, as the practice gains popularity in the West, recent scientific research suggests that it actually works. 20

BLOCK, causing a person to get an illness. Acupuncture works by pushing needles into a 22
PERSON skin to unblock the qi. This allows the body 23
BECOME balanced again. Since acupuncture was 24

Whether there is life on other planets has always been one of the greatest questions in science but it remains difficult to prove. In 2010, a group of NASA scientists made a discovery that aroused a lot of 26
EXCITE. Using the Kepler, a telescope that is mounted on a satellite in space, they spotted a planet that is very similar to Earth. They called it Kepler 10b. After eight months of 27
OBSERVE, scientists were able to estimate the size of the planet and concluded that Kepler 10b is the smallest 28
KNOW planet outside our solar system and the only one that is rocky. This means that Kepler 10b is like Mars or Earth; it has a solid surface as opposed to one formed 29
ENTIRE of gases. However, scientists think that Kepler 10b is 30
LIKELY to support any form of life. They come to this 31
DISAPPOINT conclusion because temperatures on its surface can rise to around 1, 300 degrees Celsius.
