In 1877, Italian astronomer (天文学家)Giovanni Schiaparelli said that he had seen channels on Mars.Then American astronomer P

35、ercival Lowell believed these channels were canals（运河）and intelligent beings used them for watering the dry planet. But later scientists have shown that there are no canals on the planet.Scientists now believe there is no life on Mars. Why? Because Mars has a very thin atmosphere, and its impossible

36、 to breathe. As a result, temperature on the surface changes a lot from place to place, from 20to 140,Our atmosphere on Earth keeps heat and water in, and that is the reason our planet can support life. Besides, there is almost no water on Mars. Theres also no ozone layer （臭氧层）, so dangerous radiati

37、on（辐射）easily reaches surface.But Earth and Mars have a lot in common: they both have seasons, and Mars used to have a much thicker atmosphere as well as surface water. Scientists believe seasonal winds blow sand dust, causing the seasonal changes on Mars. There is water on Mars, but only in the form

38、 of ice on or below the surface, and some vapor or ice crystals in the atmosphere.A more difficult question is whether life ever existed on Mars when it had a warmer and thicker atmosphere. In August 1996, scientists carried out experiments on a rock fragment（碎片） of a meteorites（陨星）from Mars. The st

39、udies showed that bacteria（细菌）existed on Mars 3.6 billion years ago, but some other scientists didnt agree.So its possible that life forms once lived on Mars billion of years ago.

42、 existing on Mars.D.On Mars, different places have different temperatures.(B)Visitors from space may have landed on our planet dozens, even hundreds of times during the long, empty ages while man was still a dream of the distant future. Indeed, they could have landed on 90% of the earth as recently

43、as two or three hundred years ago, and we could never have heard of it. If one searches through old newspapers and local records, one can find many reports of strange incidents that could be explained as visits from outer space. A writer, Charles Fort, has made a collection of UFO sightings in his book Lo! One attempts to believe them more than any modern reports, for the simple reason that they happened long before anyone had ever thought of space travel. Yet at the same time, one cannot take them too seriously, for before
