"What do you think, Rashid? We'll be the first people to live on Mars (火星)!" said Rashid's brother, Sean.
Rashid didn't think it was a good 1 to live on Mars. "But Sean," he said. "We'll have to stay there for at least two years. And it will 2 six months or more to get there and the same to come back. 3 we'll be away from home and friends for three years-or longer! It'll be 2051 when we get back, and I'll be sixteen 4!"
"But Rashid, we'll be able to spend a lot of time together as a family."
Rashid said, "Taking this 5 is probably unhealthy, too. The deep-space-radiation (深空辐射) is dangerous. And 6 the life in th planet's low-gravity (低重力) environment. For example, what will we do 7 fun? I don't expect we'll find swimming pools or reaurants!"
Sean 8 all these, but he really wanted to go. He was sure that 9 would be OK. "Just think how exciting it would be," he said. "No one did that before."
"I'm not that 10 to bring back something special from that planet. I'll go to play basketball with my friends now," said Rashid.
