Question

【题目】Chinese space lover Wang Yuan has been chosen as one of the volunteers for the Mars-500 test project. 【1】 Another five volunteers are all space lovers. They are three Russians, an Italy-Colombian and a Frenchman. They will feel what it's like to travel to Mars without leaving the earth. During the whole process (过程), they are locked up for one and a half years under the condition which is similar to the red planet. So the experiment is called Mars-500.

【2】Although the volunteers won’t leave the building, they will feel as if (好像) they are on a real trip to Mars. The most difficult thing is that they will be separated from the people outside. 【3】

That will be hard. When reporters asked what they would miss most during the 500-day special life, Charles from France said, “For me, it will be mainly my family, the sun and fresh air.”

The main task is to study “Man and Environment”. It will care about the astronauts’ physical effects and the experience of staying there.

【4】So they will have to make decisions by themselves and then report to the earth, and the earth will tell them whether they do the right thing or not.
