Chinese space lover Wang Yuan has been chosen as one of the volunteers for the Mars﹣500 test project．

He was very happy to be chosen and will accept the challenge．Another five volunteers are all space lovers．They are three Russians，an Italy﹣Colombian and a Frenchman．They will feel what it’s like to travel to Mars without leaving Earth．During the whole process （过程），they are locked up for one and a half years under the condition which is similar to the red planet．So the experiment is called Mars﹣500．

The Mars﹣500 test will be done in a special building in Moscow．Although the volunteers won’t leave the building，they will feel as if they are on a real trip to Mars．The most difficult thing is that they will be separated from the people outside．For 18 months，they won’t see sunsets or sunrises．That will be hard．When reporters asked what they would miss most during the 500﹣day special life，Charles from France said，”For me，it will be mainly my family，the sun and fresh air．”

The main task is to study”Man and the Environment”．It will care about the astronauts’ physical effects and the experience of staying there．Everyone will stay and work there alone．So they will have to make decisions by themselves and then report to Earth，and Earth will tell them whether they do the right thing or not．

What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you think about winter sports？Skiing（滑雪） ，of course．There is no doubt that down﹣hill skiing is the world’s most popular winter sport although it’s one of the most expensive as well．Few people，however，know that cross﹣country skiing is much easier and less expensive than down﹣hill skiing，and certainly also enjoyable．

    Cross﹣country skiing has been around for much longer than down﹣hill skiing and it is probably the oldest winter sport．A long time before the snowmobile was invented，it was also the first means of transportation that people used to move across the snow．In fact，the oldest ski ever found，which was in Sweden，is more than 4，500 years old．

    Cross﹣country skiing is not difficult at all．Even people who aren’t professional can have fun from the beginning without having to spend a long time or lots of money taking lessons．That’s why it’s very common to see people of all ages enjoying cross﹣country skiing together．In fact，at the first Winter Olympics held in Chamonix in 1924，it was the only kind of skiing in the competition．Now for cross﹣country skiers，the most exciting event every year is the Engadine Marathon，where more than 10，000 men，women and children ski across the frozen lake of St．Moritz in Switzerland．This makes more people from all over the world take part in the sport．

    For cross﹣country skiers，what they value is the excitement of the sport．Popular holiday centers and luxurious hotels are not important．They stay in cheap houses and go skiing whenever they feel like it．

1．Why do people prefer down﹣hill skiing to cross﹣country skiing？

A．It is much cheaper than cross﹣country skiing．

B．They’re too familiar with cross﹣county skiing．

C．It’s the most popular winter sport in the world．

D．They can learn how to down﹣hill ski more easily．

2．How did Swedish people move across the snow over 4，500 years ago？

A．By down﹣hill skiing．                        B．By cross﹣country skiing．

C．By riding snowmobiles．                    D．By going on foot．

3．What can we know about cross﹣country skiing from the third paragraph？

A．It’s becoming more and more popular．

B．It’s as important as down﹣hill skiing．

C．It’s more famous than down﹣hill skiing．

D．It’s getting Switzerland more interesting．

4．What does the underlined word “luxurious” mean in the last paragraph？

A．Old．      B．Modern．      C．Expensive．      D．Clean．

5．Which of the following is NOT WRONG according to the passage？

A．Down﹣hill skiing is the world’s most popular winter sport but not the dearest．

B．Cross﹣country has longer history than down﹣hill and it may be the oldest winter sport．

C．Cross﹣country skiing is not difficult at all，so only the young take part in the sport．

D．There were many kinds of skiing in the competition at the first Winter Olympics held in Chamonix in 1924．
