从A--E五个句子中选出四个填入短文空白处，使短文完整、通顺。
A
Many people believe that, by the year 2100, we will live on Mars(火星). Here is what life
would be like.
First, transportation(~l) should be much better. In 2100, spaceships could travel very
fast. 1
Second, scientists should be able to find plants that could grow on Mars. These plants would give us food, water and air which humans need to live.
There is a problem for us to live on Mars. We might easily jump too high and fly slowly away from Mars into space. So humans on Mars would have to wear special shoes to make themselves heavier.
Life on Mars would be better in many ways. 2 It would be possible to live in a large building with many bedrooms. Then, robots would do most of the work, so we would have more time for hobbies.
3 Every student could study a~d do their homework on the computer, and take exams in online schools. Each student would also have their own online teacher called "e-teacher".
However, in some ways, life on Mars may not be better than that on the Earth today. 4 Meals would probably be in the shape of pills and not be as delicious as they are today. Also, space travel may make many people feel iii.
A. There would probably be no school on Mars.B. It might take us two or three days to get to Mars.C. People would have no place to live.D. Food would not be the same.E. First, people would have more space.
