Text One: Red planet Renaissance

Just five years ago, astronomers viewed Mars as an essentially dead world. Recent discoveries made by the Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft and gleaned from Martian meteorites have changed that opinion.

The new picture of a `youthful Mars' not only confirms that geological activity occurred abundantly in the first two thirds of Mars's history, but also that it has continued until comparatively recently, and probably persists up to the present day. These findings will have a dramatic effect on the human exploration of Mars, and the quest to learn whether life ever existed there.

In the next few decades the subsurface layers of Mars will be examined in a search for Martian microbes, either past or present. The test of whether life evolved on Mars is a major scientific problem because an answer either way would have profound consequences. If life did evolve on Mars, what was it like and what was its basis at the molecular level? If life never appeared on Mars, why didn't it, and does this mean that humanity is alone in the universe?

1. Answer the following questions using your own words.

1. The new evidence has been obtained ...

a) while looking for Martian meteorites.

b) by a space station where there were meteorites.

c) by a space vehicle and after studying Martian meteorites.

2. The discovery of geological activity on Mars means that ...

a) there was life on Mars a long time ago.

b) there could be microbial life on Mars.

c) there is microbial life on Mars today.

3. The writer suggests that ...

a) these discoveries will be of great importance in the search for life on Mars.

b) liquid water does exist today on the surface of Mars.

c) these discoveries do not confirm geological activity

4. Microbes will be searched for ...

c) by examining parts of the ground.


Text Two: The Kiss ...

He had just saved her from a fire in her house, rescuing her by carrying her out of the house into her front yard, while he continued to fight the fire.

Lusi  is pregnant.
