  At the moment,it may be difficult to imagine,but many people believe that,by the year 2100,we will live on the planet(行星) Mars.Our own planet,Earth,is becoming more and more crowded and polluted.We should build a better world on Mars.

  First of all,transport should be better than they are today.Now it is difficult for spacecraft(宇宙飞船) to carry too large number of people to Mars梚t takes months.By 2100,travel to Mars will take a very short time in space shuttles that travel at half the speed(速度) of light.

  Humans need water,air and food to survive.Scientists should be able to develop the plants that can grow on Mars.These plants can provide the air and food that we need.However,the scientists are not sure whether these plants can provide water.

  Gravity(重力) will be the problem for the early settlers on Mars.The gravity on Mars will be about only three-eighth of the gravity on Earth.It is very dangerous for us because we can easily jump too high and float(漂浮) away into space.To prevent this,we have to wear special boots to make ourselves heavier.These boots will probably very popular and there will be many different designs for settlers to choose from.

  Life on Mars will be better than life on Earth in many ways.We will have more space.Living in a dome with 10 bedrooms is highly possible.Many people thought that robots will do most of our work and we will have more time for our

hobbies.There will be no schools on Mars.Students will have a computer at home connecting to the inter-planet computer network.They can study,do homework and take exams in online schools.

MANY 15-year-olds don’t know what they want to be when they grow up. Abby Harris knows she wants to become an astronaut and isn’t letting anything stop her.
According to Harris’ Internet blog, Astronaut Abby, she has wanted to be the first astronaut to walk on Mars since she was 5 years old.
Harris wrote that at the beginning, most people didn’t take her dream seriously. But she stuck with (坚持) it.
“I made plans, I worked hard and I focused on (集中于) my goal. As I got older and continued to stay focused on science, people in my life began to notice and encouraged me to dream big,” she wrote.
In the 7th grade, Harris was doing a project on the International Space Station. She set up a Twitter account to get in touch with NASA. But soon she found that it was a great place for her to write about her dreams and talk with others who are interested in space. Her friends on Twitter then helped her create her website and blog, Astronaut Abby.
What’s more, Harris has a real astronaut as her mentor. Several years ago, Harris ran into Italian astronaut Luca Parmitano at an airport. They talked for an hour and Parmitano agreed to become her mentor. Now Parmitano is in the International Space Station. Harris e-mails him every day to learn about his experiences.
It’s not easy to become an astronaut, but Harris is confident about herself.
“If you work really hard at something, it can happen. And it will happen,” she said.
