         Sometime early in the next century,human beings will move to Mars.They will live there for
    about a year,and then will be replaced with another group of pioneers.Building the base on
    Mars will advance our knowledge of the solar system and aid in our understanding of the earth.
         We already know that Mars resembles the earth in many aspects:general size,presence of
    water,length of day,range of temperatures.These resemblances have caused many ?people? to
    consider a centuries?long project:to terraform Mars.Terraforming means altering a planet's
    surface so that Earth's life forms can survive there.This concept,previously found only in science
    fiction is now being seriously considered by scientists.
         Terraforming Mars is theoretically simple:add nitrogen and oxygen to the atmosphere;pump
    water to the surface;and add the earth's plants and animals in the order in which they developed
    on Earth.But it will take at least 300 years.
         Some people think that such a project is too huge for ?humans? to undertake,but there are
    very good reasons to make the attempt.The earth now contains some 6 billion ?people?,and
    no one has any idea of how many humans the earth can support.Our very existence and numbers
    are threatening many other species.We also have had some experience with terraforming our
    own planet:altering the landscape,the atmosphere and the climate.Currently terraforming earth
    has become a wiser activity as we try to control global warming,air and water pollution,and
    preserve some natural living places.
         While the possibility of such a project is small,it is not impossible.Even if earth bound societies
    come and go in the next 300 years,the project can continue through the work of the Mars settlers
    without the need for constant backing from the earth.
         The future existence of all the people in our world may very well depend upon our ability to
    terraform Mars.

    A.do some scientific research work
    B.find out its similarity to earth
    C.avoid the dying away of many other species
    D.find on Mars livingplace for the increasing humanbeings
    4.The main reason for causing many people to consider terraforming Mars is that_____.
    A.there are some resemblances between Earth and Mars

         You may admire both the romantic love story and the mysterious city of Rome in the movie
    Roman Holiday.If you are planning to visit Rome,here are some cultural dos and don'ts you
    should know.
         Coffee Etiquette:Italian breakfast consists of pastry and a cup of Cappuccino or shot of
    espresso.If eaten outside of home,breakfast is always consumed standing up at the local bar.
    An espresso is not sipped;it is downed in one gulp.Cappuccino is generally a morning drink
    and is not drunk after noon by real Italians.A post dinner espresso,however,is common practice.
         Dinner Rules:It is expected for guests to arrive for dinner reservations at least fifteen minutes
    late.In many restaurants,printed menus are for tourists.Regular patrons know to ask for the daily
    specials,which typically feature the freshest ingredients.Bread,when served,is rarely accompanied
    by butter or olive oil.
         Drink the Water:Rome has plenty of public water fountains,and real Romans (and their dogs)
    always drink directly from them.Many people also refill their water bottle from these fountains.
         Mind the Traffic:Unless there's a traffic light,or you are in a crosswalk,don't expect cars to
    stop for you.Though crosswalks go first,in a car?crazy city,still you'd better keep cautious
    and walk cautiously.
         Money:Always have some euros with you.Most major hotels,restaurants,and shops take
    credit cards,but many smaller operations either will be unwilling to accept them for smaller
    purchases or do not accept credit cards at all.ATMs are available around the city and at the
    airports.
         About Soccer:Most Italian men are passionate about their soccer.Arm yourself with some
    knowledge of Italy's soccer scene,and you will find ready conversation partners almost
    everywhere.
         The Romans:The people here love to share their thoughts,opinions and emotions.They are
    creative,passionate,playful,occasionally rude or vain but always entertaining,and almost always
    good humoured.
