问答题Time was when the solar system had two watery worlds. 46) Directly next door to the warm. wet, loamy Earth was the warm, wet, loamy Mars, both planets covered with oceans and running with rivers-and both possibly teeming with life. Billions of years ago, however, the low-gravity Mars had both its air and water leak away, causing the planet to become the dead, freeze-dried place it is today. That is what the prevailing thinking has been. Now, it appears that thinking may be wrong. 47) Recently, NASA released new images from the Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft that suggest water may be flowing up and streaming onto the Martian surface-dramatically increasing the likelihood that at least part of the planet is biologically alive. "If these results prove true," says Ed Weiler, associate administrator of NASA's Office of Space Science, "[they have] profound implications for the possibility of life." Finding liquid water on Mars' surface has never been easy-because it simply can't exist there. The modern-day Martian atmosphere has barely 1 percent the density of Earth's, and its average temperature hovers around-67 degrees Fahrenheit (-19 degrees Centigrade) . In an environment as harsh as this, water would either vaporize into space or simply flash-freeze in place. 48) Scientists studying Martian history have always looked for clues the planet's ancient water left behind-tracks where vanished rivers once flowed, basins where vanished seas once stood. 49) The approximately 65, 000 images the Surveyor orbiter has beamed home in the nearly three years it has been circling Mars are full of this kind of expected hydro-scarring. But some of the pictures took scientists by surprise. The older a formation is, the more likely it is to have been distorted over the eons-smoothed by periodic windstorms or gouged by the occasional incoming meteor. However, a few of the newly discovered water channels look fresh. That discovery has lead astonished researchers to conclude that these channels may have been recently formed. 50) planetologists have long assumed that if underground water was going to bubble up on Mars, it would have to be somewhere in the balmy equatorial zones: where temperatures at noon in midsummer may reach 68 degrees Fahrenheit (20 degrees Centigrade). Almost all the new channels, however, were discovered at the planet's relative extremes-north of 30 degrees north latitude and south of 30 degrees south latitude-and all were carved on the cold, shaded sides of slopes.

问答题 Environmentalists claim the moral high ground: their interests are in preserving our precious planet, protecting defenseless animals, ensuring our children have clean water to drink and air to breathe. Yet environmentalists' policies have been a much more mixed bag in terms of their actual consequences. {{U}} {{U}} 21 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}Indisputably, many regulations and initiatives have reduced pollution and improved air and water quality, to the benefit of everyone, but other environmental efforts have backfired, some with truly disastrous consequences.{{/U}} Consider what's happened with DDT (a chemical used to kill insects that harm crops). The pesticide came into use during World War II and helped eliminate malaria. However in 1962, an environmentalist wrote that the chemical was causing cancer and destroying wildlife. In 1972, DDT was banned in the U. S. and ultimately worldwide. As a result of the ban, malaria remained a plague in many poor countries. {{U}} {{U}} 22 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}So during the decades in which DDT was not used, when the world bowed to undoubtedly well-intentioned environmental activists, about 50 million people-overwhelmingly African children-died, mostly unnecessarily.{{/U}} Ethanol provides another example. For years, biofuels were heralded as the promising alternative to fossil fuels, yet it turns out biofuel's environmental impact is much more complicated. In 2008, Time magazine wrote about ethanol's dubious environmental benefits. {{U}} {{U}} 23 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}The article warned that forests, wetlands, and grasslands were being sacrificed in a rush to farm crops that could be turned into gasoline, so the once environmentally favored solution to our energy problems is now recognized as a potential environmental catastrophe{{/U}}. It's worth noting that, beyond biofuel's environmental effects, using food for fuel has a significant impact on the worldwide food supply. Prominent environmentalists promise that they are confident that man is causing the Earth to warm, and they don't want to contemplate alternative theories about how the sun might be responsible for warming, that the warming isn't unprecedented and therefore could be naturally occurring. {{U}} {{U}} 24 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}They don't want to consider the costs of policies that they want to oppose in the name of combating global warming, or .just how ineffectual those policies might be{{/U}}. Yet the public should consider what a significant decline in worldwide wealth will mean, particularly for those who are already poor. {{U}} {{U}} 25 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}Those who question global warming alarmists' claims and policy prescriptions have been compared to massacre deniers, yet what are we to call environmentalists whose policies have resulted in the deaths of millions and could aggravate poverty, and hunger?{{/U}} The movie title Not Evil, Just Wrong may be too charitable.
