　　United States President George W．Bush is expected to issue a directive in the next few weeks．It will give the US Air Force a green light for the development of space weapons , US media reported last week．

　　This would potentially start a new global arms race , some experts have warned．

　　To keep that from happening , last Wednesday the White House explained that it was not considering putting weapons in space．It said it was making a shift in US space policy to allow for protection of satellites．

　　But some defense analysts and arms control advocates argue that the policy will pave the way for the US to put both defensive and offensive (攻击性的) weapons in space．

　　“No one should be fooled,”said Theresa Hitchens , an American weapons expert．

　　The US is now restricted by a 1996 directive signed by President Bill Clinton．Plans for space weapons were vetoed (否决) by the Clinton cabinet．The directive emphasized the peaceful use of space , in agreement with almost unanimous (一致的) global opinion．

　　The US military has placed importance on space and has sent up numberous satellites for troop communications and to provide intelligence and data to guide bombs to their targets．

　　The US Air Force wants to develop space - based weapons that could strike targets anywhere in the world within 90 minutes of receiving the order to open fire．

　　These new weapons under development cover a wide range．They include hunter - killer satellites and orbiting weapons．And they use lasers , radio waves , or even dense metal tubes , known as “Rods from God”, dropped from space to do the damage．

　　There are many barriers to the setting up of this kind of program , experts say．

　　First is the coast．It is estimated that the budget may be US $220 billion to US $ 1 trillion (万亿)．

　　The technical difficulties of developing reliable space weapons are also a problem．

     Six astronauts are about to experience what it's like to travel to Mars and back, only without actually
leaving Earth.Three Russian astronauts will join three colleagues from other countries as they are locked
up together for a year and a half on a simulated(模仿的) mission to Mars.The mission is called Mars
500.
     The Mars500 mission at Moscow's Institute of Biomedical Problems will test the psychological and
physical effects of longterm isolation on humans.
    The group's leader, engineer Sytev, looks at the threesquaremeter place that will be his personal
habitation."This phone will work for only 11 days.When we are near the Earth, it will be switched off, "
said Sytev.Sytev is a newlywed.He says the most difficult thing will be to be separated from his wife and
the persons around him.He finds it difficult to leave some of his habits behind-all their activities will be
directed towards a certain goal and that he won't see sunsets, sunrises, won't feel rain for 18 months.
     After 250 days, three of the astronauts will simulate landing on Mars.The other three will wait for
them-in the mock spacecraft-for a month.All communication with Earth will be via email and will have as
much as a 40minute delay, like on a real Mars mission.
     Suvorov is a physician.He and other scientists will monitor the astronauts."This experiment is unique
because the six persons will be isolated for a long period of time, " noted Suvorov."They will have to
make decisions on their own and only then report to the Earth, and the Earth will tell them whether they
did the right thing or not."He says the experiment will pave the way for a real Mars journey later this
century."We are going to determine how much food and other products of daily use are needed, and
how people of different cultures, of different training can find common language and work on performing
their tasks, " added Suvorov.
      Mars500 is the third in a series of flight simulations.The earlier ones were shorter.The current
experiment is set to end in November 2011.

A. simulated  B. advanced

B. There existing a 40minute delay.
C. Lacking food and other products.
D. Being monitored by Suvorov and other scientists.
