B. Today, the United States, Europe,
6
Russia, China and Japan are all planning to send astronauts back to Earth's closest neighbour, the Moon.
7
Some of these countries want to create space stations there within the next ten years.

These stations will prepare humans to visit and later live on Mars or other Earth-like planets.
9
See, Robert Zubrin, a rocket scientist, thinks humans should colonise space.
10
He wants to start with Mars.
11
Why?
12
He thinks sending people to Mars will allow us to learn a lot of things for example, the ability of humans to live in a very different environment.
13
Eventually, we could create new human societies on other planets.
14
In addition, any advances we make in the fields of science, technology, medicine and health will benefit people here on Earth.
15
DSpaceX is a company that builds rockets.
16
Its founder and CEO, Elon Musk, also believes we should colonise Mars.
17
He doesn't want to send just one little mission, though.

And not everyone thinks sending humans into space is a smart idea.
20
Many say it's too expensive.
21
Also, most space trips are not short.
22
A one-way trip to Mars, for example, would take at least six months.
23
People travelling this kind of distance could face many health problems.
24
In addition, these first people would find life extremely difficult in space.

On the Moon's surface, for example, the Sun's rays are very dangerous.
26
people would have to stay indoors most of the time.

练习小贴士
要有效地练习雅思口语，尤其是在这个视频中，你可以采用shadow speech的方法。首先，观看视频并注意讲述者的语速和语调。在你听的同时，尝试模仿他的发音和语气。这种方式被称为shadowing，可以大大提高你的口语流利度和准确性。
建议你将视频设定为慢速播放，逐句重复，确保理解每个句子的意思。特别是涉及太空生活和人类未来的话题时，使用新的关键词汇，使你的表达更具专业性。此外，通过不断练习shadow speak和shadowing，你的自信心也会提升，更加自如地进行讨论。
无论是通过视频学习还是其他途径，保持积极的学习态度非常重要。每次练习时，尝试着使用不同的短语组合，描述你对未来太空生活的看法，借此提升你的口语能力。
什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
