If you are a high school senior graduating and looking to enter college in 2006, you will take the new exam.

The biggest change to the SAT (美國學(xué)術(shù)能力傾向測(cè)驗(yàn)) will be the introduction of a new writing section. The writing section will consist of two parts: an essay and a multiple-choice section. Students will be given 25 minutes to respond to a prompt (提示) and construct a well-organized essay that effectively deals with the task. The essay question may require students to complete a statement, to react to a quote, or to agree or disagree with a point of view. In any case, a good essay will support the chosen position with specific reasons and examples from literature, history, art, science, current affairs, or even a student's own experiences.

Should the readers' scores vary by more than 2 points, a third reader will score the essay; The readers will be high school teachers and college professors who teach composition. To ensure that essays will be scored in a timely manner, they will be scanned and made available to readers on the Internet for grading purpose.

    Terraforming Mars is theoretically simple：add nitrogen and oxygen to the atmosphere；pump water to the surface；and add the earth’s plants and animals in the order in which they developed on earth．But it will take at least 300 years．

    Some people think that such a project is too huge for humans to undertake，but there are very good reasons to make the attempt．The earth now contains some 6 billion people and no one has any idea of how many humans the earth can support．Our very existence and numbers are threatening many other species．We also have had some experience with terraforming our own planet：altering the landscape，the atmosphere and the climate．Currently terraforming earth has become a wiser activity as we try to control global warming，air and water pollution，and preserve some natural living places．

    While the possibility of such a project is small，it is not impossible．Even if earthbound societies come and go in the next 300 years，the project can continue through the work of the Mars settlers without the need for constant backing from the earth．
