Humans may not have landed on Mars (火星 ) just yet, but that isn' t stopping a European company from devising a plan to send four people to the Red Planet within the next few years. This project, called Mars One, aims to send a small group of people to Mars in 2022 and eventually es-tablish a permanent colony on the planet.

"Everything we need to go to Mars exists," said Mars One co-founder Bas Lansdorp in March 2014. "We-have the rockets to send people to Mars, the equipment to land on Mars, the robots to prepare the settlement for humans. For a one-way mission, all the technology exists. " Yet the four astronauts ( 宇航员) chosen for the trip will be stuck on Mars--forever. And despite Mars One' s thorough planning, there are a number of challenges that may prevent the mission from ever taking place. The biggest road block could be the mission' s huge cost(S6 billion). However, Lansdorp is confident that Mars One will be able to fund the project by selling the broadcast fights for the mission and subsequent experiences living on the planet.

Those broadcast fights will also play a part in helping to select the people who will be sent to Mars. Lansdorp said the company will .hold a selection process similar to a reality show. Lansdorp is expecting at least 1 million applications from people around the world. In addition to the cost,

several other potential problems could inhibit ( 阻止) the mission to Mars."It' s even more challenging to send people there with life support, with food, with air, with all the other things like books, entertainment, means of communication and means of providing for their own resources for a long stay on Mars," said Adam Baker, senior lecturer in space engineer-ing at Kingston University in London. "The sheer size of the rockets you' d need to do this would be absolutely colossal. "

When Bill de Blasio ran for New York City mayor last year, he promised to end a controver-sial( 有争议的), citywide cell-phone ban(禁令) in public schools, which is not equally enforced in all schools. Now, under his leadership, the city is preparing to end the ban. It will be replaced by a policy that allows phones inside schools but tells students to keep them packed away during class.

Many schools have a rule about enforcing the ban that says, "If we don't see it, we don't know about it. " That means teachers are OK with students bringing in cell phones, as long as they stay out of sight and inside bags and pockets.

But at the 88 city schools with metal detectors, the ban has been strictly enforce

D. The detec-tors were installed to keep weapons out of schools, but the scanners(扫描器) can also detect cell phones. So students at these schools must leave their phones at home or pay someone to store it for them.

The ban was put into place in 2007 under mayor Michael Bloomberg. Ending the ban will also likely end an industry that has sprung up near dozens of the schools that enforce the ban. Workers in vans (厢式货车)that resemble food trucks store teens' cell phones and other devices for a dollar a day.

Critics of the ban say cell phones are important safety devices for kids during an emergency.

They also say that enforcement of the ban is uneven and discriminatory. Where the ban is en-forced, it puts a disadvantage on students who can't afford to pay to store their phones.

Before putting an official end to the cell-phone ban, city education officials are working on creating ,a new policy. It will include rules about not using the phones during class or to cheat on tests.

第36题 Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?

A.New York City will give financial aid to poor students.

B.New York City plans to restrict cell phone use in libraries.

C.New York City plans to install metal detectors in all public schools.

第37题 Students pay ____________ a day to leave their cell phones in a van parked near their school.

A.a dollars

B.two dollars

C.five dollars

D.ten dollars

第38题 Metal detectors were installed in 88 city schools, mainly to keep ____________ out of schools.

A.cell phones

B.weapons

B.tough

C.strict
