Sometime early in the next century， human beings will move to Mars. They will live there for about a year， and then will be replaced with another group of pioneers. Building the base on Mars will advance our knowledge of the solar system and aid in our understanding of the earth.

We already know that Mars resembles the earth in many aspects：general size， presence of water， length of day， range of temperatures. These resemblances have caused many people to consider a centuries-long project：to terraform Mars. Terraforming means altering a planet's surface so that Earth's life forms can survive there. This concept， previously found only in science fiction is now being seriously considered by scientists.

Terraforming Mars is theoretically simple：add nitrogen and oxygen to the atmosphere； pump water to the surface； and add the earth's plants and animals in the order in which they developed on Earth. But it will take at least 300 years.

Some people think that such a project is too huge for humans to undertake， but there are very good reasons to make the attempt. The earth now contains some 6 billion people， and no one has any idea of how many humans the earth can support. Our very existence and numbers are threatening many other species. We also have had some experience with terraforming our own planet：altering the landscape， the atmosphere and the climate. Currently terraforming earth has become a wiser activity as we try to control global warming， air and water pollution， and preserve some natural living places.

While the possibility of such a project is small， it is not impossible. Even if earth-bound societies come and go in the next 300 years， the project can continue through the work of the Mars settlers without the need for constant backing from the earth.

The future existence of all the people in our world may very well depend upon our ability to terraform Mars.

Someday a stranger will read your e-mail without your permission or scan the Website you've visited，or perhaps someone will casually glance through your credit card purchases or cell phone bills to find out your shopping preferences or calling habits.

In fact， it's likely that some of these things have already happened to you. Who would watch you without your permission？ It might be a spouse， a girl friend， a marketing company， a boss， a cop or a criminal. Whoever it is， they will see you in a way you never intended to be seen—the 21st century replacement of being caught naked. Psychologists tell us boundaries are healthy， that it's important to reveal yourself to friends， family and lovers in stages， at appropriate times. But few boundaries remain. The digital bread crumbs(碎屑) you leave everywhere make it easy for strangers to reconstruct who you are， where you are and what you like. In some cases， a simple Google search can reveal what you think. Like it or not， increasingly we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret.

The key question is：Does that matter？

For many Americans， the answer apparently is “no.”

When opinion polls ask Americans about privacy， most say they are concerned about losing it. A survey found a strong bad feeling about privacy， with 60 percent of respondents saying they feel their privacy is “slipping away， and that bothers me.”

But people say one thing and do another. Only a tiny part of Americans change any behaviors in an effort to preserve their privacy. Few people turn down a discount at tollbooths(收费站) to avoid using the EZ-Pass system that can track automobile movements. And few turn down supermarket loyalty cards. Privacy economist Alessandro Acquisti has run a series of tests that reveal people will give away personal information like Social Security numbers just to get their hands on a pitiful 50-cents-off coupon(优惠券).

But privacy does matter—at least sometimes. It's like health：When you have it， you don't notice it. Only when it's gone do you wish you'd done more to protect it.

36.What does the author mean by saying “the 21st century replacement of being caught naked”？

A.People's personal information is easily accessed without their knowledge. B.In the 21st century people try every means to look into others' secrets. C.People tend to be more frank with each other in the information age. D.Criminals are easily caught on the spot with advanced technology.

解析：根据第二段，第一句话，我们得知有人会在未经允许的情况下窃取我们的个人 信息，如第一段所说的电子邮件、网址、信用卡购物及电话等，我们的个人信息赤裸 裸地暴露给陌生人，毫无遮掩。A项中的“is easily accessed without their knowledge”与原文中的“watch you without your permission”同义。 答案：A

37.What would psychologists advise on the relationships between friends？

A.Friends should open their hearts to each other. B.Friends should always be faithful to each other. C.There should be a distance even between friends. D.There should be fewer arguments between friends.

解析：心理学家认为与他人保持一定界限是有益的，虽然会向朋友、家人、爱人倾 诉，但是有一些事情是有底线和界限的。C项中的“distance”同义与原文中的 “boundary”同义，跟第三段第二句话“But few boundaries remain.”意义一致。 答案：C

38.Why does the author say “we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret”？

A.Modern society has finally developed into an open society. B.People leave traces around when using modern technology. C.There are always people who are curious about others' affairs. D.Many search engines benefit from giving away people's identities.

解析：第三段第三句话告诉我们：我们在使用高科技时所留下的点滴信息都会为陌生
