On Wednesday, two things happened. In Syria, 80 people were killed by government airstrikes. Meanwhile, in Florida, Elon Musk’s SpaceX successfully launched and fired a sports car into space. Guess which story has dominated mainstream news sites?
The launch of Musk’s Falcon Heavy rocket, the most powerful ever launched by a private company, went off successfully. Musk sent his cherry-red Tesla roadster running toward Mars, launching “a new space age”. The event attracted phenomenal publicity and made the rocket launch a masterstroke of advertising for Tesla.
Meanwhile, in Syria, where hundreds of thousands of refugees may be forced to return to unsafe homes, a UN human rights coordinator for Syria said despondently(沮丧地) that he was no longer sure why he bothers to videotape the effects of bombing, since nobody ever pays attention. He wondered what level of violence it would take to make the world care.
There is, perhaps, no better way to appreciate the tragedy of 21st-century global inequality than by watching a billionaire spend $90m launching a $100,000 car into space.
Musk said he wanted to participate in a space race because “races are exciting” and that while strapping his car to a rocket may be “silly and fun … silly and fun things are important”. Thus, anyone who mentions the huge waste the project involves, or the various social uses to which these resources could be put, can be dismissed as a killjoy.
But one doesn’t have to hate fun to question the justification for pursuing a costly new space race at exactly this moment. If we examine the situation honestly, it becomes hard to defend a project like this.
A mission to Mars does indeed sound exciting, but it’s important to have our priorities straight. First, perhaps we could make it so that a child no longer dies of malaria every two minutes. Or we could try to address the level of poverty in Alabama which has become so extreme that the UN investigator did not believe it could occur in a first-world country. Perhaps when violence, poverty and disease are solved, then we can head for the stars.
Many might think that what Elon Musk chooses to do with his billions is Elon Musk’s business alone. If he wanted to spend all his money on medicine for children, that would be nice, but if he’d like to spend it making big explosions and sending his convertible on a million-mile space voyage, that’s his right.
But Musk is only rich enough to afford these money-consuming projects because we have allowed social inequalities to arise in the first place. If wealth were actually distributed fairly in this country, nobody would be in a position to fund his own private space program.
Elon Musk is right: silly and fun things are important. But some of them are an indefensible waste of resources. While there are still humanitarian crises such as that in Syria, nobody can justify vast spending on rocketry experiments.
1.Why does the writer mention the two pieces of news at the beginning of the passage?
A.To highlight the significance of SpaceX’s successful launch of a rocket and a car into space.
B.To illustrate the inequality of wealth distribution and the consequent inequality of attention distribution.
C.To appeal to the government for more attention to the air strikes and refugee crisis in Syria.
D.To find out which news dominated the mainstream news sites.
2.Why did the UN human rights coordinator for Syria feel disappointed?
A.Because nobody appreciated his work and all the efforts he made.
B.Because the violence in Syria is not serious enough to make the world care.
C.Because however hard he tried, nobody seemed to care about the situation in Syria.
D.Because he had great difficulty videotaping the effects of bombing.
3.What is implied in paragraph in 6 and 7?
A.The space project of SpaceX cost the government too much money.
B.Addressing problems of violence, poverty and diseases should be our top priority.
C.Space programs are a waste of money that cannot be justified.
D.It kills the fun to question the justification of the pursuit of space programs.
4.What does the writer mainly want to tell us?
A.We should pay equal attention to space projects and solving social problems.
B.No private companies should be allowed to spend money in rocketry experiments.
C.The successful launch of SpaceX has distracted the world from more important things.
D.The money and resources used in space projects could have been used to deal with various social problems.
