Living on Mars is a topic that has attracted people's attention for decades. As technology develops, the dream of living on Mars is becoming more and more 1. However, there are still many problems to solve before humans can really settle on Mars.
First, the environment of Mars is very 2. The average temperature is about -63℃, which is much colder than that on Earth. There is no oxygen in the atmosphere, so humans need to carry oxygen 3 wherever they go. Also, the radiation on Mars is very strong, which is 4 to human health.
Second, food and water are big challenges. It's impossible to 5 enough food and water from Earth for long-term living. So scientists are researching how to grow food on Mars. They are also trying to find ways to 6 water from the ice and rocks on Mars.

Despite these difficulties, many scientists are 9 about the future of living on Mars. They believe that with the development of technology, all these problems will be solved. In the near future, humans may be able to build colonies on Mars and 10 a new life there.
