Now, it may be difficult to predict the future, but many people believe that we will live on Mars by the year 2100. Our own planet, Earth, is becoming more and more crowded and polluted. Well, what problems will we need to solve before we prepare to go to Mars?
First of all, transport should be much better. At present, humans need to spend months going to Mars by spaceship. However, by 2100, spaceship can travel at half the speed of light. It might take us two or three days to get there!
Secondly, humans need food, water and air to live. Scientists should develop plants that can be grown on Mars. These plants will produce the food, water and air that we need. However, there is no answer for all the problems now.
There is also a problem for us to live on Mars. Mars attracts us much less than the Earth does. This will be dangerous because we could easily jump too high and fly slowly away into space there. We will have to wear special shoes to make ourselves heavier.
In some ways, life on Mars may not be better than that on the earth today. Food will not be the same --- meals will probably be in the form of pills and will not be as delicious as they are today. Also, space travel will probably make many people feel very uncomfortable.
25. According to the passage, by the year 2100, we will possibly live____________.
A. on Mars B. on the moon.
C. in the spaceship. D. in the sea.
26. Why do we want to live on Mars?
A. Life on Mars is more interesting than that on the earth.
B. The earth is becoming dirty and crowded.
C. The journey to Mars is very interesting.
D. The scientists want us to do that.
27. So far, how long does it take us from the earth to Mars by spaceship?
A. Two or three days. B. A few days.
C. A few months. D. A few years.
28. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
A. A special plant which can produce water, air and food should be needed on Mars
B. We may go to Mars when transport is much better and faster.
C. We can jump higher on Mars than on the earth.
D. Food on Mars will be much better to eat.

GIMUNDONEWS（March 11, 2012）—Willow Tufano, a 14-year –old girl from Florida, lives in an area that’s been hit hard by the poor economy. Home prices have taken a sharp drop, and many of the houses in Willow’s area want to be sold at a very low price.
With her mother’s help, Willow’s already learned to turn the poor economy into an opportunity for wise business moves. Several years ago, she began going along with her mother Shannon, a real estate broker(房地产经纪人), to visit poor homes. Many of the houses were still full of furniture.
Willow had a bright idea: She told the buyers that she could clear the houses of furniture and other possessions(所有物), if they’d let her keep the income. Most of the buyers agreed to her plan, and soon, Willow was selling the items on a website for $500 a month or more. She got her first fortune.
She saved most of her money, and before long, an investing(投资)opportunity came up that seemed too good to refuse: Last year, her mother told her the house that had once sold for $100,000 was selling only for $12,000.
Willow saw an opportunity. She thought“What if I bought a house? That would be crazy.”Crazy, but not a bad idea, actually. After she bought the house, she began cleaning the dirty home up, and then began offering it for rental. She found a man who was paying $700 a month for the house: In little more than a year, she would recoup her investment.
While Willow’s opportunities have come about as a result of tough economic times, her business sense provides hope that younger generations might just get us out of this mess we’re in.
29. What do you know about Willow Tufano?
A. She is a crazy young girl. B. She is a real estate broker.
C. She is studying economics. D. She had a strong business sense.
30. It can be inferred from the passage that .
A. poor economy can bring people more opportunities
B. younger generations are cleverer than their parents
C. the prices of houses are influenced by economy
D. it is not easy for teenagers to invest in real estate
31. Willow Tufano got her first fortune by ________.
A. selling furniture and possessions on a website B. offering a house for rental cheaply
C. selling her house at the price of $ 12,000 D. helping her mother manage her company
32. The underlined word “recoup” in Paragraph 5 means________.
A. bring out B. get back C. find out D. hold back
