Imagine （想象） walking into a movie theater without being greeted by the smell of popcorn. It's hard to believe, isn't it? For many people, popcorn goes hand in hand with movies. They can't have one without the other. But 1  did this happen?

The 2  between the two is younger than you may think. In the mid-1800s, popcorn was already a popular snack in America. Vendors sold it on the 3  . People, especially kids, loved this street food. In the early 1900s, vendors started to sell popcorn 4  movie theaters.

However, theater owners didn't like popcorn. They believed it would make the experience of watching a movie 5  enjoyable. Eating it would make too much noise during the silent movies.

Later, when movies added sound, the 6  noise problem went away. More and more people went to the movies. Some of them even secretly（秘密地） took popcorn into the theaters. Later, more movie theaters 7  . Some of them agreed people to eat popcorn while they were watching movies.

In the 1930s, the theater owners found that people didn't need to buy popcorn from street vendors. Because popcorn was 8  to make, they could make and sell it themselves. They did that and the smell of popcorn drew more people to their theaters. The 9  made a lot of money, and people enjoyed themselves at the movies.

Today, popcorn is still an important part of the movie-going experience. Roles, a man who once ate three bags of popcorn, said, "People come to theaters sometimes just for the 10 . They don't even care what is playing!"

Astronauts would face dangers both getting to and surviving (生存) on Mars. Let's learn about surviving a trip to Mars.

What would it take to keep people safe and healthy on a trip to Mars? Scientists are already working on it, though the trip may be many years later.

Over the last 60 years, many spaceships have flown by orbited（沿轨道运行）and even landed on the Red Planet. However, machines cannot replace humans. That's why the United States, China and other countries want to send people to Mars. But surviving on this trip would not be easy.

A trip to Mars would be the farthest journey in human(人类) history. Mars is about 225 million kilometers away, so it would take astronauts at least 180 days to reach there. However, it only takes a few days to get to the Moon.

Space travel is dangerous. For one thing, staying in space for long periods makes the human body weak. Also, it puts pressure behind the eyes and causes eye problems. But gravity(重力) machines could help.

Then there's space radiation(辐射) to worry about. It is bad for astronauts when they have long journeys. Scientists are working out the issue. They have found that taking certain vitamins can help.

Astronauts will have to pack light to lift off from the earth. But they won't be able to get the things they need easily. Astronauts on the space station practice for this by growing lettuce and other food in space. Engineers are developing 3D printing techniques（技术）which can allow future Mars astronauts to build what they want.
