Six volunteers are about to find out what it would be like to live on Mars without ever leaving the Earth. Three men and three women will spend eight months living in a special place on the side of a volcano in Hawaii. They are part of an experiment that is designed to mimic(模仿)life on Mars. Their mission began on October 15, 2014. NASA says it could send astronauts to Mars as early as the 2030s. The mission would take more than two years, so NASA needs to know how people would react to living in a small group, isolated from the rest of the world, for such a long time. Some people may become depressed or bored living under those conditions. By studying people living in similar conditions here on Eares NASA hopes to learn how to choose the most suitable people for a space mission, and how to help them get along.

They will live in a two-story building. The ground floor is about 86 square meters, roughly the size of a small two-bedroom apartment. It includes shared areas like kitchen, dining room, bathroom, laboratory and an exercise room. The upstairs is less than half the size of the downstairs. It contains another bathroom and six small bedrooms. The building is located in an abandoned quarry(采石场)about 2,400 meters up the side of Mauna Loa, the second biggest volcano in the world. It is constantly monitored for signs of volcanic activity. NASA chose the location because the appearance looks very similar to Mars.

To make it more like being on Mars in the future, they are only able to communicate by email during the experiment. Meanwhile, there will be a 20-minute delay between the time when a message is sent and that when it is received. When they go outside, they will have to suit up in full spacesuits, just as if they were on Mars.

The commander is Martha Lenio, a 34-year-old Canadian. During the mission, she will run experiments on growing food. The other members have backgrounds in physics and so on. None of them are astronauts.

1.When will the six volunteers end their mission about mimicking life on Mars?

A. On June 15, 2015. B. On October 15, 2015.

C. On October 15, 2030. D. On June 15, 2032.

2.What’s the main purpose of the experiment?

A. To monitor signs of volcanic activity.

B. To prepare for a space mission to Mars.

C. To train the six people to become astronauts.

D. To study the difference between men and women.

3.Mauna Loa was chosen as the experimental site because ___________.

A. it is located near a rocket base

B. other people can hardly find the location

C. its landscape is so much like that of Mars

D. it is a safe place to conduct the experiment

4. What can be inferred from the passage?

A. Martha is a famous expert on agriculture.

B. The six volunteers will be sent to Mars in 2030.

C. All the experimental activities are done in doors.

D. It takes about 40 minutes to get a reply to an email.

Jeanne Calment, a French woman, became a record breaker on 17 October, 1995, when at the age of 120 years and 238 days, she became the longest-lived human being on record. A Japanese man died in 1986 at the age of 120 years and 237 days.

Jeanne Calment lives in a small old people’s home in the south of France; her husband, her only child and her grandson have all died. She is nearly blind and deaf and is always in a wheelchair, but her doctor describes her as being more like a 90-year-old woman in good health than someone of 120. She still has a lively sense of humor. When asked on her 120th birthday what she expected of the future, she replied: A very short one. She also remarked that she thought the good Lord had forgotten all about her.So what is the key to a long life? According to some doctors, diet, exercise and no smoking are the three important factors. Jeanne Calment has followed two of the tips. She has always eaten a healthy diet, and she used to do exercise every day until she broke her leg at the age of 115. However, until recently she drank two glasses of strong red wine a day, and she does smoke (now only a little). Besides, Jeanne Calment might have got very good genes from her parents. Her father lived to the age of 94 and her mother to 86.

A local lawyer bought her house when she was 80 under an agreement that he would pay her some money every year until her death. It must have seemed a good move at the time, but so far the lawyer has paid her at least three times the value of the house. Every year on her birthday, Jeanne Calment sends him a card saying: Sorry, I’m still alive!

1.How does Jeanne Calment feel about her old age?

A. She is miserable and unhappy.

B. She feels she is going to die very soon.

C. She would like to live much younger.

D. She is cheerful and humorous.

2.Which of the following word could best replace the word “move” in the fourth paragraph?

A. trick B. deal C. march D. sport

3.Why does Jeanne Calment say “Sorry, I’m still alive” to the lawyer every year on her birthday?

A. Because the lawyer has paid her much more money than the value of the house.

B. Because she has asked the lawyer to pay her more rent than they first agreed.

C. Because she had an agreement at 80 with the lawyer which was to her advantage.

D. Because the house she sold to the lawyer is worth the money he has already paid.

It is a familiar scene these days: employees taking newly laid?off (下岗) co?workers out for a drink for comfort. But which side deserves sympathy more, the jobless or the still employed? On March 6, researchers at a conference at the University of Cambridge heard data suggesting it's the latter.

Brendan Burchell, a Cambridge sociologist, presented his analysis based on various surveys conducted across Europe. The data suggest that employed people who feel insecure in their jobs show similar levels of anxiety and depression as those who are unemployed. Although a newly jobless person's mental health may “bottom out” after about six months, and then even begin to improve,the mental state of people who are continuously worried about losing their job “just continues to get worse and worse,” Burchell says.

Evolutionary psychologists support this theory by arguing that human beings feel more stress during times of insecurity because they sense an immediate but invisible threat. Patients have been known to experience higher levels of anxiety, for example, while waiting for examination results than knowing what they are suffering from — even if the result is cancer. It's better to get the bad news and start doing something about it rather than wait with anxiety. When the uncertainty continues, people stay in a nonstop “fight or flight” response, which leads to damaging stress.

But not every employee in insecure industries has such a discouraging view, Burchell says. In general, women get on better. While reporting higher levels of anxiety than men when directly questioned, women scored lower in stress on the GHQ 12, even when they had a job they felt insecure about losing. As Burchell explains, “For women, most studies show that any job — it doesn't matter whether it is secure or insecure — gives psychological improvement over unemployment.” Burchell supposes that the difference in men is that they tend to feel pressure not only to be employed, but also to be the primary breadwinner, and that more of a man's self?worth depends on his job.

1.Why do researchers think the still employed deserve sympathy more?

A.They have to do more work since then.

B.They have no chance to find better jobs.

C.They have to work with inexperienced workers.

D.They constantly worry about losing their job.

2.What is most likely to cause a “fight or flight” response?A.Not having a paid job.

B.Fierce competition for jobs.

C.Not knowing what will happen.

D.Pressure to work longer hours.

3.What will the writer talk about following the last paragraph?

A.Advice on preparing a job interview.

B.Advice to those in insecure industries.

C.Some knowledge of psychology.

D.Difference in men and women.

4.What could be the best title for the text?

A.Is It Less Stressful to Get Laid Off Than Stay On?

B.Should Greater Sympathy Be Given to the Jobless?

C.Do Employees Bear More Stress Than Ever Before?

D.Do Men or Women Show Higher Levels of Anxiety?
