    Leonardo da Vinci was born on April 15, 1452 in Italy. He is best known as an artist today. One of his famous paintings is called Mona Lisa. However, Leonardo had many other natural abilities. He was also a great inventor. Many of his inventions have become important in modern day life. Although Leonardo hated war, he invented many different machines used for wars.

    My house is made of wood, glass and stone. It is also made of software.

    If you come to visit, you’ll probably be surprised when you come in. Someone will give you an electronic PIN to wear. This PIN tells the house who and where you are. The house uses this information to give you what you need. When it’s dark outside, the PIN turns on the lights nearest you, and then turns them off as you walk away from them. Music moves with you too. If the house knows your favorite music, it plays it. The music seems to be everywhere, but in fact other people in the house hear different music or no music. If you get a telephone call, only the nearest telephone rings.

    Of course, you are also able to tell the house if you want something. There is a home control console (控制台), a small machine that turns things on and off around you.

    The PIN and the console are new ideas, but they are in fact like many things we have today. If you want to go to a movie, you need a ticket. If I give you my car keys, you can use my car. The car works for you because you have the keys. My house works for you because you wear the PIN or hold the console.

    I believe that several years from now on, most new homes will have the systems that I’ve put in my house. The systems will probably be even bigger and better than the ones I’ve put in today.

    I like to try new ideas. I know that some of my ideas will work better than others. But I hope that one day I will stop thinking of these systems as new, and ask myself instead, “How did I live without them?”

    1.The writer’s house is NOT made of ________.

    A. bricks B. wood C. glass D. software

    2.What does the passage mainly discuss?

    A. How to develop a new system. B. The function of the PIN.

    C. A home for the future. D. Easy life in the future.

    3.What is the writer’s purpose of writing the fourth paragraph?

    A. To let readers know why his ideas are new.

    B. To explain what the functions of the PIN and the console are.

    C. To explain the importance of the PIN and the console.

    D. To let readers know how special his house is.

    4.The writer’s new house is different from ordinary ones mainly because ________.

    A. it has your favourite music following you

    B. you can make a telephone call anywhere

    C. the writer is able to change his new idea into practice

    D. it has been controlled by computers

    5.What is the writer most likely to be according to the passage?

    A. An IT expert. B. A famous engineer.

    C. A game player. D. An experienced teacher.
