阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
A
If you think you'd like to live on Mars,you may have that possibility by 2023.A Dutch
company called Mars One will soon advertise for people interested in colonizing()Mars.
If you have all the necessary skills,you could be one of the first colonists.Are you ready for
the challenge?
You won't have to pay for the mission to Mars.Mars One has already received money
from some donors and is hoping to get more from TV viewers who will become interested in
the show where all applicants have a debate for the rare chances.
The main responsibility of the first colonists is to create an artificial environment on Mars
where there is no air to breathe and no land to farm.Scientists know it's quite possible
because something similar has already been done in Antarctica.
Another problem is that space travel to Mars takes nearly a year to get to Mars and the
colonists will live the rest of their lives there.When a human lives in an environment without
gravity or with low gravity for a long time,the systems in the body weaken.Luckily,
spinning()the spaceship can create artificial gravity,and artificial gravity can ease these
problems.It will also be difficult for Mars colonists to be far from home,living in small
spaces,and seeing the same people over and over.Colonists with depression could put the
mission in danger.Fortunately,a few years ago,a joint Russian and European project called
the Mars500 Mission studied people's reactions in a Mars-like environment.It is viewed as a
great success because scientists were able to see how people handle emotional and physical
stresses.
Recent studies show that seven percent of people would want to go on such an adventure.
Mars One will soon start accepting its first colonists.Are you interested?
