a. brain trust b. brain drain c. brainstorm d. brainwash d mars( 火星) appears to be flowing with small streams of salty water, at least in the summer, scientists reported monday. it suggests that. it would be possible for there to be life today on mars, nasas science mission chief, john grunsfeld, said at a newsconference on september 28, 2015. the streams are about 12 to 15 feet wide and 300 feet or more long, scientists said. what were dealing with is wet soil. thin layers of wet soil, not standing water, saidaifred mcewen of the university of arizona at tueson ! the principal scientist for themars reconnaissance orbiters high-resolution imaging experiment. because liquid water is essential to life, the findings could have major implicationsfor the possibility of martian life. the researchers said further exploration is needed to determine whether microscopic life exists on the planet. the presence of liquid water could also make life easier for astronauts visiting orliving on mars. water could be used for drinking and for creating oxygen and rocket fuel. nasas goal is to send humans there in the 2030s. the evidence of flowing water consists largely of dark, narrow streaks(条痕) onthe surface that tend to appear and grow during the warmest martian months and fadethe rest of the year. mars is extremely cold even in summer, and the streaks are in places where thetemperature is as low as minus 10 degrees fahrenheit. but salt can lower the freezing point of water and melt ice. the source(源头) of the water is a mystery. scientists noted it could be melting ice. it could be an underground aquifer, which is rock or sand that can hold water. it is possibly water vapor from the thin martian atmosphere, or it may be a combination michael meyer, lead scientist for nasas mars exploration program, said the only definitive way for now to determine whether theres life on mars is to collect rocks and soil for analysis on earth - something a u. s. lander set for lift-off in 2020 will do.32.what would be the best title for the text?
