If one day, you could have a chance to move to Mars, would you get away from the Earth? Tell us your decision and reasons. (at least two)If I had a chance to move to Mars, I would choose to stay on the Earth. Here are my reasons:
1. The Earth is my home, where I have grown up and have all my memories. It's familiar and comfortable.
2. The Earth has a well-established ecosystem and environment that support human life. Although Mars may have some potential for colonization, it's still a harsh and challenging environment compared to the Earth.
Therefore, I would prefer to stay on the Earth and work towards protecting and improving our planet.

四、阅读理解
Many of us spent our childhoods dreaming of becoming astronauts. However, the hard reality is that only a select few will make it. But does that mean you'll never get the chance to work in space? Not necessarily. In fact, some of the space jobs are not only for astronauts and they all sound just as cool.
One of the most interesting space jobs that you may have never heard of is "chief sniffer (嗅探员)". NASA has already hired a chief sniffer named George Aldrich, whose job is to smell materials and components before they are used in spacecraft.
Using your nose at work might sound a little strange, but the job is actually important. A spacecraft is of small size and high temperature, which makes smells stronger inside of it. And once a spacecraft is launched, astronauts "have no way of escaping unpleasant smells", Aldrich told The Telegraph. More importantly, smelling objects can help identify dangerous chemicals (化学物质) that could threaten astronauts' health.
Another job, the "space tour guide", may seem a little ahead of its time-after all, what's the point of hiring a tour guide when there aren't any tourists there? But now, many private companies are starting to provide space trips, and wealthy space lover such as Justin Bieber and Sarah Brightman have already signed up for tours. It may not be long before space becomes one of the top travel destinations for Earthlings.
Being a space tour guide requires rich knowledge of astronomy (天文学), astrophysics (天体物理学), geography and history to help passengers get the most out of their journey. Tour guides also need to be excellent storytellers so that passengers can experience the true beauty of space travel.
Astronauts often spend weeks or even months in a small capsule (太空舱) with the same group of people, which is why a "space psychologist" is also needed to help astronauts overcome mental challenges, like feeling bored and lonely.
"We're crossing the boundaries between science fiction and reality," said Rohit Talwar, chief executive of US company Fast Future Research. "Things we've seen in the past in movies are now becoming real career opportunities."
