6. For life to develop on another planet, two conditions, at least, are necessary: (1) moderate temperature, as the result of suitable distance from a heat source, and (2) a range of temperature that is stable over a period of at least 3.7 billion years. The unlikelihood that such conditions are often to be found in the universe makes it highly probably that exists only on Earth.
　　The argument above assumes that
　　(A) a certain temperature range is the only condition essential to the development of life on a planet
　　(B) life cannot exist on planets other than Earth
　　(C) forms of life on other planets would require some of the same conditions as do earthly forms of life
　　(D) there is no satisfactory explanation of why life development on Earth and not on other planets
　　(E) signs of extinct life forms are likely to be found of many planets with extreme temperatures
　　7. Ⅰ. When a person dies, that person's brain waves, as measured by the electroencephalograph (EEG), no longer show a positive reading but remain flat.
　　Ⅱ. A positive EEG reading can be obtained from a bowl of cherry gelatin.
　　Which of the following conclusions can most logically be drawn from the information above?
　　(A) The EEG is not a reliable test to use in the measurement of human brain waves.
　　(B) Some changes in a person's EEG can be viewed as a signal of death, but life is not defined by a positive EEG.
　　(C) Whatever characteristics a human brain and a bowl of cherry gelatin have in common are important factors in life and death.
　　(D) If a person's brain waves become flat, as measured by the EEG, that person is less alive than is a bowl of cherry gelatin.
　　(E) Whether a person's EEG readings change or not is irrelevant in determining whether or not that person is alive.
　　8. Child abuse could be eliminated if prospective parents were certain they wanted children before they had them. The assertion above can be true only if which of the following is also true?
　　(A) Prospective parents change their minds about wanting children once they have them.

　　(D) Only those who do not love their children abuse children.
