They will live there for about a year, and then will be replaced with another group of pioneers. Building the base on Mars will advance our knowledge of the solar system and aid in our understanding of the earth.We already know that Mars resembles the earth in many aspects: general size, presence of water, length of day, range of temperatures. These resemblances have caused many people to consider a centuries-long project: to terraform Mars. Terraforming means altering a planets surface so that Earths life forms can survive there. This concept, previously found only in science fiction is now being seriously considered by scientists.Terraforming Mars is theoretically simple: add nitrogen and oxygen to the atmosphere; pump water to the surface; and add the earths 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 bee a wiser activity as we try to control global warming, air and water pollution, and preserve some natural living places.【文章大意】本文叙述了人们把火星地球化的原因和方法。因为火星与地球之间有很多相似之处，也为了给越来越多的人在火星上找一个居住的地方，人们打算把火星地球化。火星地球化，需要给火星的大气增加氮气和氧气，给表面抽水，增加一些地球的植物和动物，来改变一下火星的表面。41What would be the best title for this passage?
