                                                                                                       改造火星
        ①我们能把火星变成地球吗?能将火星凛冽寒冷、空气稀薄的地表转化为适宜人类居住的地球环境吗?如果能,我们应该怎样做?
        ②有证据表明,火星形成初期,大量的二氧化碳曾经使火星的气候变得温和,有一段时间曾有河流流入汪洋大海。目前,在火星上仍然可能存在着二氧化碳,在冻结的泥土和极地冰盖中还可能存在着水。
        ③美国宇航局的行星科学家克里斯•麦凯表示,将火星地球化的大部分工作需要火星自身完成。
        ④麦凯说:“人类所做的工作只是将火星的气候变暖,然后撒下孕育生命的种子。”在地球上生活的我们,已经知道让行星变暖的方法,那就是向大气层中添加一些温室气体。全氧化碳是一种强效的温室气体,可以用火星的泥土和空气中的成分合成获得,然后将它释放到大气中。这会使整个行星变暖,接着它们就会释放出冷冻的二氧化碳气体。二氧化碳会促使温度升高,从而将大气压力增加到能让液态水流动的程度。
        ⑤与此同时,威斯康星大学的植物学家詹姆斯•格雷厄姆说,通过这种方法,人类就可以在这颗红色星球上建设一个可持续发展的生态环境。首先在火星的南极地区会生长出细菌和地衣类植物,之后会出现苔藓类植物,一千年或更长时间后会长出红杉树,再经过几千年的时间,长成的森林会逐渐释放出更多的氧气。
        ⑥当前,实现该计划的时间尚待商榷。美国一个由白宫指定的讨论组最近建议首先在月球或小行星上尝试一下,而现在,我们还无法估算出,要将一颗死气沉沉的行星变成地球一样的绿色星球到底需要多少费用。

        My husband, Bob, died in January 2004. His death was unexpected as well. I 1 condolences(哀悼)from people I hadn't heard from in years: letters, cards, flowers, calls, and visits. I took a bad knock with 2. I was so struggling to3the whys and hows of this terrible thing that had happened to my family, knowing in my heart that there really were no 4. It's just all so sad.

        One message5me deeply. I received a letter from my best friend from sixth6 through high school. We had drifted somewhat since 7 in 1959, as she stayed in our home town and I did not. 8 it was the kind of friendship that could quickly resume even if we9touch for five or ten years.

        Her husband, Peter, had died perhaps 20 years ago at a young age, 10her with deep sorrow and heavy 11: finding a job and raising three young children. She and Pete, 12 Bob and I, had shared one of those rare, close, "love-of-your-life-you-can-never-forget" 13.

        In her letter she 14 an anecdote about my mother who had passed away years ago. She wrote, "When Pete died, your dear mother 15me and said, 'Trudy, I don't know what to say...so I'll just say I love you.'"

        She closed her letter to me repeating my mother's words of so long16, "Bonnie, I don't know what to say...so I'll just say I love you."

        I felt I 17 almost hear my mother speaking to me now. What a 18 message of sympathy! How dear of my friend to cherish it all those years and then 19 it on to me.I love you. 20 words. A gift. A legacy(遗赠物).
