FOR people who are interested in space, nothing is more exciting than the idea of living on other planets. That might be why the movie The Martian (《火星救援》) is so popular. It shows an astronaut struggling to live on Mars. But would it actually be possible to live on the Red Planet?
While the idea of living on Mars is great, the reality does not look as good. Mars does not have a friendly atmosphere for humans. There is very little oxygen there. And because of its distance from the sun, it is also very cold. The temperature on Mars can be -62 degrees on average. This is much too cold for humans.
However, scientists say it might be possible to live there even without a good atmosphere. Daytime on Mars is almost the same as Earth’s. It means there’s enough sunlight to grow plants inside safe buildings. However, they would have to grow in soil from Earth. Mars does not have a strong enough atmosphere to stop the radiation coming from space, which makes it dangerous to grow things in the soil.
The radiation is also bad for our health. If we want to live there healthily, we need to build our homes under the ground or within the rocks on the planet. This would protect humans from the radiation and also some heat.
When could we actually live on Mars? NASA is hoping to make some progress within the next 20 years.

An ID card is the most important proof of identity for each person. It shows one’s name, date of birth, address, nationality, photo and ID number.
China’s top legislature (立法机关) added something new to the Resident Identity Card Law. It passed the suggestions of recording Chinese citizens’ fingerprints when they apply for or change ID cards.
Fingerprints would make it easier to recognize the people who own the cards. It can stop people from making fake ID cards.
Li Xiao’ou, a bank worker in Beijing, said fingerprint data will make bank business safer. “No two people have the same fingerprints,” he said. “The new card can better protect their private information. It will prevent their identity from being used by others when people want to do banking.”
As ID cards will contain more personal information, many people worry that some institutions (公共机构) may let their information out. The amended law tries to better protect it. Government offices and other public institutions, like banks and hospitals, could face a fine of 500,000 yuan if they give out citizens’ personal information.
