Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the correct answer to each of the questions. Life in the Future
Planet Earth has many problems. Different kinds of pollution are harming the
planet. The world's population is continuing to grow each year. Many people believe
that in the future, we will have to find a new place to live.
Space stations are one place where people could live. People can build parts of a
space station on Earth and then put them together in space. It will be easier for people to
live on space stations than different planets. One bad thing is there won't be any gravity,
and people won't be able to move much.
Some scientists think that Mars is the best option. People won't be able to go
outside on Mars, but we can build new cities there. We need to build better spaceships
because they cost too much money now. Some people think that Venus will also be an
option because the gravity is similar to Earth's. However, the weather on Venus is too hot for people to live there.
