摘要：Someday, you might be able to live on the moon. In 2020, NASA plans to begin building a base on the moon. The project should be finished by 2024. If you’re 10 years old today, 1 . So, if you train to be an astronaut, you could be one of the first to visit the lunar outpost. Neil Armstrong was the first person to walk on the moon in 1969. At the time, he called it “one small step for man, 2 . Space exploration has continued, but no one has set foot on the moon since 1972. For the new project, NASA talked with more than 1,000 scientists and engineers to come up with a plan. The agency decided to build a single base instead of developing several landing sites. At first, astronauts would spend a week at a time on the moon. 3 . Once there, astronauts would drive around in a rover with a cabin filled with pressurized air so that they could breathe without wearing spacesuits all the time. NASA hasn’t yet decided where on the moon to put the base, and the agency may not make a final decision until 2013. 4 . In the meantime, the space agency is eyeing an area near the moon’s south pole as a good place to settle. The area gets sunlight 75 to 80 percent of the time, 5 . Nearby is a dark area that might contain water ice and other resources that could fuel operations. The moon base could finally become a training site and launching base for future missions to Mars. A. Finally, stays would last for 6 months, maybe longer. B. you’ll be 27years old then. C. so the base could run on solar power . D. one giant leap for mankind. E. This decision will depend on data collected by several robotic scout missions.1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
Someday a stranger will read your e-mail without your permission or scan the websites you've visited．Or perhaps someone will casually glance through your credit card purchases or cell phone bills to find out your shopping preferences or calling habits．
In fact, it's likely some of these things have already happened to you．Who would watch you without your permission?It might be a spouse, a girlfriend(配偶), a marketing company, a boss, a cop or a criminal, Whoever it is, they will see you in a way you never intended to be seen－the 21st century equivalent of being caught naked．
Psychologists tell us boundaries are healthy, that it's important to reveal yourself to friends, family and lovers in stages, at appropriate times．But few boundaries remain．The digital bread crumbs(面包屑)you leave everywhere make it easy for strangers to reconstruct who you are, where you are and what you like．In some cases, a simple Google search can reveal(泄露)what you think．Like it or not, increasingly we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret．
The key question is：Does that matter?
For many Americans, the answer apparently is“no．”
When opinion polls ask Americans about privacy, most say they are concerned about losing it A survey found an overwhelming pessimism(悲观)about privacy, with 60 percent of respondents saying they feel their privacy is“slipping away, and that bothers me．”
But people say one thing and do another．Only a tiny fraction of Americans change any behaviors in an effort to preserve their privacy．Few people turn down a discount at tollbooths(收费处)to avoid using the EZ-Pass system that can track automobile movements．And few turn down supermarket loyalty cards．Privacy economist Alessandro Acquisti has run a series of tests that reveal people will surrender personal information like Social Security numbers just to get their hands on a pitiful 50-cents-off coupon(优惠券)．
But privacy does matter－at least sometimes．It's like health：When you have it, you don't notice it．Only when it's gone do you wish you'd done more to protect it．

According to the passage, privacy is like health in that ________．
Serena Williams took a leaf out of Goran Ivanisevic’s book and created her own entry in the annals(年报)of the Australian Open on Saturday．
Croatian Ivanisevic turned out to be the poster-boy of all dreamers in the sport when he won the first prize in grasscourt tennis while ranked 125th in the world．
Williams copied Ivanisevic’s miraculous run to the 2001 Wimbledon title this past fourteen days in Melbourne, though if she had lived up to(证明与……等同)her ranking she would have been back home in Florida after the first round．
Instead the world number 81 announced her comeback to top flight tennis in the only manner she knows how, to make her way to an eighth grand slam(大满贯)title．
“We all know I’m not really 81,”the American said following her 6-1 6-2 rout of top seed Maria Sharapova．
“It’s exciting for women’s tennis but I think it’s exciting that it’s Serena Williams and not just anyone else．”Because I’ve been number one before and I’ve won seven grand slams before today．Today it’s eight．It makes a difference, absolutely．
“It tells people you can’t sleep on anybody．They might not be here, or they might not be here for a couple of days but they come back and I’m here to stay．”
“M y best years are ahead of me．”
Before the final, Williams defeated the seeds of Mara Santangelo(27), Nadia Petrova(5), Serbian Jelena Jankovic(11), Shahar Peer(16)and Nicole Vaidisova(10)．
On Saturday, she added world number one Sharapova to that list in what she described as“one of the best matches I’ve ever played”．
Already guaranteed to shoot up to 14th when the new rankings are released on Monday, Williams wasted no time in making her mind to be the number one ranking．
“I would love to be number one,”said the American after winning her third crown in Melbourne．
I think I played the best in this tournament and I played like the number one seed．
I’ve never been one to play 50 tournaments, 30 tournaments or even 20 tournaments．I always figured that if I play 12 to 15 tournaments and I win 10 of them, I’ll be fine．
“The year I was number one, that’s what I did．”
Williams’s 57-week reign as world number one ended in August 2003 and since then she has been hit by a series of injuries that often cut into her schedule．
Last year she played in only four tournaments and made her comeback from a four-month injury in a low-key tournament in Hobart earlier this month．
Having struggled there, she was only expected to make up the numbers at Melbourne Park．She had not won a title of any kind since winning her seventh major in Australia two years ago．

In 1955, when Colonel Harland Sanders retired at the age of 65, he had little to show for himself except an old Caddie roadster(跑车), a ＄105 monthly pension check, and a recipe(烹饪秘方) for chicken．Knowing he couldn't live on his 1 , he took his chicken recipe in 2 , got behind the wheel of his old car, and 3 to make his fortune．
His first 4 was to sell his chicken recipe to restaurant owners, who would 5 give him a commission(提成) for every piece of chicken 6 sold－five cents per chicken．The first owner he 7 turned him down．So did the second and the third．8 , the first 1,000 sales calls Colonel Sanders made ended in 9 ．Still, he 10 to call on owners as he traveled across the USA, sleeping in his car to 11 money．After a lot of persuasion, prospect number 1009 12 gave him his first “yes．” Then 13 two years of making daily calls he signed up a 14 of five restaurants．Still the Colonel pressed on, knowing that he had a 15 chicken recipe and 16 someday the idea would catch on．
Of course, you know how the story 17 ．The idea did catch on．By 1963 the Colonel had 600 restaurants across the country 18 Kentucky Fried Chicken that followed his secret recipe．In 1964, he was bought out(买下……的全部产权) by future Kentucky governor John Brown．Even though the sale made him a multi-millionaire, he continued to represent and promote KFC until his death in 1980．
Colonel Sanders' story teaches an important 19 ：It's never too late to become persistent．Keep on asking．Keep on seeking．Keep on 20 !And the door of success will be opened to you．
Someday a stranger will read your e-mail without your permission or scan the websites you've visited．Or perhaps someone will casually glance through your credit card purchases or cell phone bills to find out your shopping preferences or calling habits．
In fact, it's likely some of these things have already happened to you．Who would watch you without your permission?It might be a girlfriend, a marketing company, a boss, a policeman or a criminal．Whoever it is, they will see you in a way you never intended to be seen－the 21st century equal to being caught naked(裸露的)．
Psychologists tell us boundaries are healthy, though it's important to reveal(透露)yourself to friends, family and lovers in stages, at appropriate times．Actually few boundaries remain．The digital breadcrumbs(面包屑)you leave everywhere make it easy for strangers to reconstruct who you are, where you are and what you like．In some cases, a simple Google search can reveal what you think．Like it or not, increasingly we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret．
The key question is：Does that matter?For many Americans, the answer apparently is“no”．
When opinion polls(民意调查)ask Americans about privacy, most say they are concerned about losing it．A survey found a majority of people are pessimistic(悲观的)about privacy, with 60 percent of respondents saying they feel their privacy is“slipping away, and that bothers me．”
But people say one thing and do another．Only a small part of Americans change any behaviors in an effort to protect their privacy．Few people turn down a discount at tollbooths(收费亭)to avoid using the EZ－Pass system that can track(跟踪)automobile movements．And few turn down supermarket loyalty cards．Privacy economist Alessandro Acquits has run a series of tests that reveal people will submit personal information like Social Security numbers just to get their hands on a pitiful 50-cents-off coupon(优惠券)．
But privacy does matter－at least sometimes．It's like health; when you have it, you don't notice it．Only when it's gone do you wish you'd done more to protect it．
