A MISSION TO MARS
Have you ever had a dream about traveling to another planet in our solar system? If you have, there is an
actual programme that is happening right now, and it hopes to send people to Mars in 2023. Known as the Mars
One Mission, it will send a crew of four people on a one-way mission to colonize Mars. Those chosen people will
have to be ready to say good-bye to the earth forever, as there will not be a return trip.

10
 For the people -chosen, they will have to learn to do many different things. First of all, they will be living
the rest of their lives with just a handful of other people, so they all must have personalities that allow them to get
along. Second, the living quarters that they will have won't be very spacious, so they will have to deal with that
condition as well. If they feel homesick, they will only be able to communicate with people back on the earth via
e-mail and videos and audio sent back and forth. However, there won't be any real-time communication. Even at
the speed of light communication between the earth and Mars takes about 20 minutes.

Whether the Mars One Mission will actually happen is the big question that a lot of people are asking.
There is an enormous skepticism in the science community, and Wired magazine gave the mission a miserable
score of two out of ten on its probability scale. However, for those who dream to go to Mars, at least they can say
there is a possibility that it could happen.

1. What will NOT happen to the people who go on the Mars One Mission?
A. They will live in quarters that don't have a lot of space inside. B. They will return to the earth.
C. They will communicate with people on the earth. D. They will have to live with other people.
2. Which of the following is considered miserable?
A. A personality of people taking part in the programme B. A mission of astronauts to the ISS
C. A crew on board of the Mars One Mission D. A score of the programme on the probability scale
3. How long will it take for a message to come back from Mars?
A. Almost immediately B. About an hour C. Around 20 minutes D. Only a few seconds
4. What will NOT be spacious?
A. The mission B. The living quarters C. The spaceship D. The magazines
5. Who might like to go on this mission?
A. People with angry personalities B. People who don't like to communicate
C. People who get along with others D. People who get homesick easily

IV. Read the text and answer the questions given.

Men have played a significant role in American society as the main breadwinner, and protector of the
family. But the traditional role of men has slowly been transferred to women. Society is changing with women
going to college, and gaining jobs. It may even happen in several years' time when women are given sole earning
responsibility in American society as the main breadwinner of the family. That is due in part to women gained
working privileges equal to men in the 1970's.
Up until the 1970's, men were the traditional family breadwinners, while women stayed at home, raised
the kids, made dinner every night, cleaned the house, and ran all of the errands. Men went to work every day,
making enough money to buy a nice home, buy a new car every so often.
Once women were afforded the opportunity to work in the same jobs men once held, men's more
traditional foothold in the workplace was loosened. Women were given bigger jobs with more responsibility, but
women take jobs with major responsibly with less pay than men.
The role of men in American society is changing with more women going to college, and obtaining
careers; men are playing more untraditional roles at home. Women are still giving birth to the kids, but are going
to work to earn money to pay the bills, while men are staying home raising the kids, running errands, cleaning,
making dinner. Young children, boys as well as girls, are being raised with dad at home taking care of the kids.
11
 Millions of families are also raising their young with mom and dad sharing all of the responsibilities.
Today's role of men in American society is more of a shared role, with a more undefined role.
1. The traditional role of men was ______
A. the foothold in the family B. raising the children when they were at home
C. the supporter of women D. the main breadwinner of the family
