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.
Small as the possibility of such a project is, 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.
【小题1】What would be the best title for this passage?
A.Terraforming Mars. | B.Saving the Earth. |
C.Travelling to Mars. | D.A Newly-found Place. |
A.Warming. | B.Changing. | C.Planting. | D.Building. |
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 living place for the increasing human beings |
A.there are some resemblances between Earth and Mars |
B.terraforming Mars is theoretically simple |
C.we have had some experience with terraforming our own planet: Earth |

Combining families with kids can be tough and offers even more unexpected problems. You just don’t know how things will shake out until everyone is under one roof, trying on new roles with name that start with “step”. This is what happened to Sheila and Will, and Sheila’s 8-year-old daughter Ashley. After the couple got married, and Will became the member of the new family, things got worse than expected. How did they make it work? Read the full version of the story here.
Shelia’s Turn: When Shelia and Will were dating, he seemed like kids, especially Ashley. He’d bring her presents, play games with her. But after the wedding, things took a turn. Will suddenly became a super strict stepfather, scolding Ashley for watching too much cartoons, constantly picking fights and punishing her for offenses as small as spilling milk. Shelia’s thought about leaving Will, but soon after they married, they had a son, Billy. Will adores his well-behaved boy, but Ashley hates him. Shelia doesn’t know what to do--- her daughter is miserable, but leaving her husband might mean losing her son.
Will’s turn: Will was so excited to be a male role model in Ashley’s life. He didn’t just want to be a guy living in her house; he wanted to treat her like his own daughter, which, to Will, meant giving Ashley more rules and help her learn responsibility. He’d always felt that Shelia let Ashley loose on everything. But after the wedding, Will was surprised that Shelia didn’t want him to do that. If Will takes away Ashley’s TV privileges or tells her to clean up her room, Shelia just lets Ashley do what she likes and does it herself. Will was tired of this and he’d rather take his son and go.
The advisor’s turn: The counselor(顾问) quickly recognized their conflict as a classic case of unspoken, hidden expectations. Before the wedding, when it was just Shelia and Will, everything was easy. But now, everyone in their big family is competing for attention, and the couple never sat down and discussed the biggest issue---their child-upbringing philosophies(育儿经). The counselor suggested Shelia allow Will to give some rules on Ashley but Will’s punishments couldn’t be extreme. Once Ashley saw that her mom and stepdad had become a united front, she cooperated more.
【小题1】The text is most likely to be found in a book about______.
A.popular science | B.historical events |
C.social problems | D.political systems |
A.Will often picked fights with Ashley. |
B.Ashley often spilled milk on the floor. |
C.Will always punished her for bad behaviors. |
D.Ashley was stopped watching too many cartoons. |
A.Will has a good intention. |
B.Will does not love children |
C.Will does not love Shelia any more |
D.Will’s way of parenting is very perfect. |
A.Negative | B.Objective | C.Critical | D.. Subjective |

Pop music is the name for different forms of popular, commercial(商业) music. It had its beginning in the USA and spread throughout the whole world during the 1950s and 1960s. It is widely liked by the young people. The best known early form of pop music was “rock’ n’ roll”; another was “blues”. A more recent development is “folk-rock”.

It’s a big industry. Much pop music is without artistic value, but the work of some pop singers, e.g. the Beatles, Bob Dylan, the groups like Floyd and Crosby, Stills and Nash, is on a higher musical level.
