    What's going to happen in the future? Will robots control our planet? Will computers become smarter than us? Not likely. But here are some things that scientists say are most likely to happen in 10 to 30 years from now, according to the BBC.
    Digital money

    We used to pay with cash(现金) for everything we bought. Now when we use a credit card(信用卡) to shop online, money is spent without us seeing it. That means we are already using digital money. Using a card is much easier than searching our pockets for change. It is also safer than carrying a lot of cash.
    When ATM cards were first introduced, they were not accepted everywhere. But now it's hard to live without them. It's reported that people in Sweden completely stopped using cash last year, and the US might be next.
    Bionic(仿生的) eye
    It's no longer something only in a science fiction movie. People who are blind may have a chance to get their sight back—by wearing bionic eyes.
    A blind eye can no longer sense light, but a bionic eye can use a camera to “see” the environment and send data(数据) to the mind. Now the bionic eye only allows patients to see lights and unclear shapes. A high resolution(高清的) image could be just a few years away.
    Self－driving cars
    Unlike a human driver, a self－driving car won't get distracted(分钟) by phone call, the radio or something outside the window. Sensors(探测器) and cameras on the car would allow it to stick reduce the number of road accidents. You could even take a nap while the car driver itself. In the future, driverless cars would be widely accepted.
    小题1:________ has stopped using cash completely.
    A．Sweden　B．ATM　　C．BBC　　D．America
    小题2:What does the writer mainly tell us about digital money?
    A．We use digital money to shop online without paying money.
    B．Digital money is most likely to be used instead of cash.
    C．Using cash is easier and safer than a credit card.
    D．ATM cards are always popular.
    小题3:Which of the following statements is TRUE?
    A．Bionic eyes only appear in the science fiction film.
    B．Human drivers won't get distracted by something outside.
    C．The blind wearing bionic eyes may see clearly in the future.
    D．There will be no road accidents at all if self－driving cars are used.
    小题4:From the report, we can learn some information about ________．
    A．culture and art
    B．industry and farming
    C．science and technology
    D．traffic and journey
    小题5:Which of the following can be predicted(预测) from the passage?
    A．There would be a number of self-driving
    B．The blind could use cameras to see things around.
    C．We would live a hard life with digital money.
    D．Robots would control the world.

    It’s duty of every man to work. The life of a lazy man is of no use to himself and to others. If the man is too lazy to work, he will usually become a not useful man. Everyone, when he is young, should learn some useful work.

    As we know, it is not easy to build a satellite(卫星). Building a traditional satellite usually takes years. The costs can be as high as $250 million or more. Most members of the design teams have worked in the field for a long time. They hold advanced degrees(学历) in math, science, or engineering.

    But things are changing. High costs, unusual educational needs and long start-up times are no longer an obstacle(障碍) to space exploration. The scientists have developed a new type of tiny, inexpensive earth-orbiting(轨道) satellite.
    So far, college students have built and launched(发射) several cube-shaped satellites, or CubeSats. At least 15 more are ready to go. Those already in orbit take pictures, collect information and send it back to the earth, just as regular satellites do.
    But you might not even have to wait until you get to college to start designing and building your own satellite. A new program called KatySat aims to get teenagers to take part in. When kids understand what satellites can do, the kinds of ideas they’ll come up with may be countless.
    Education isn’t the only aim of CubeSats because these tiny, technology-filled boxes are  inexpensive to build and can be put together quickly, they’re perfect for testing new technologies that might one day be used on major space tasks.
    The biggest challenge now is to find ways to bring the satellites back to the earth after a year or two. Or space junk could gradually increase because CubeSats become more popular.
    Nowadays, college and high school students are getting a chance to learn what it takes to explore in space. Someday—perhaps a lot sooner that you imaging—you might get to design, build and launch your own satellite. If you do, you’re sure to have fun. And you might also get crazy about science for life.
    小题1:Building a traditional satellite __________.
    A. costs $250,000          
    B. needs college students      
    C. takes quite a long time
    小题2:Compared with the traditional ones, the new satellites __________.
    A. need long start-up times    
    B. are cheap and small-sized   
    C. collect more junk in orbit
    小题3:The underlined word “countless” in Paragraph 4 probably means “__________”.
    A. 无用的                   B. 无价值的             C. 无数的
    小题4:According to the passage, which of the following is true?
    A. CubeSats could possibly cause pollution in space.
    B. Scientists designed CubeSats for kids to play with.
    C. Students can’t design satellites without college education.
    小题5:The purpose of the author writing the passage is __________.
    A. to tell us that satellite technology can also be learned by kids
    B. to show that high technology brings a big change in kids’ life
    C. to tell us that kids must study hard to learn satellite technology

    Our factories and homes burn coal and oil. Every year we have forest fires somewhere. Many scientists believe that the climate is changing.
    The earth will perhaps be warmer by about 7 degrees centigrade. At the South Pole and the North Pole, the ice will melt (融化). The sea level (海平面) will rise by about 7meters. As a result, water will cover cities like London, Tokyo and New York. Some ports and towns along the coasts will disappear under water.
    Some other scientists think that the dust, smoke and pollution from coal, wood and oil fires will block out the sunrays(紫外线). Then the earth will become colder and great sheets of ice will cover Europe and North America.
    When chemicals in the air mix with rain, we have acid (酸) rain. Acid rain can bring us great harm. It destroys forests and kills life in lakes and rivers.
    People are beginning to see how serious the problem is. They find it important to work with nature instead of against it. They are trying to save the earth in many different ways. But one of the most important things to do is to make people understand that saving the earth is saving ourselves.
    小题1:Some scientists believe that          .               
    A. the earth is growing warmer
    B. we can find oil in our forests
    C. we have to burn down the forests every year
    小题2:Ice at the poles will          if the earth gets warmer.
    A. cover cities like London and Tokyo
    B. raise the sea level by 7 degrees

    小题3:Acid rain          .
    A. brings great changes in our climate
    B. kills pests in lakes and forests
    C. kills the fish in rivers and lakes

    A. The dust together with pollution from coal, wood and oil fires will bring us more heat from the sun.
    B. The sunrays will come more because of the dust and pollution from fires.

    A. People have come to know the importance of working with nature.                
    B. All the scientists agree that our earth is sure to become warmer and warmer.
    C. The sea level will rise if the earth gets colder.

    Mark began to introduce the guest speaker to the listeners, but then stopped for a while. He had forgotten her name.
    Barbara hid her valuable things when she went on vacation. When she came back, she couldn’t remember where she’d put them.
    Perhaps you’ve had such experiences like these. Most people have. But most of them haven’t realized that they have a memory problem. Neither do they know a simple but important fact: Memory can be improved. If you just accept that, the following will show you how.
    First, relax. If you are over worried about something, you’ll forget it. If you keep telling yourself that your memory is bad, your mind will come to believe it and you won’t remember things. When you forget something, don’t follow up with saying like “Oh, my god! I always forget things! ” Such words will have a bad result on you and your memory.
    But relaxing isn’t enough. To improve your memory, you’ll need to take an active role. Like your body, your memory can be made strong through exercise. Look for opportunities to exercise your memory. For example, if you’re learning a language, try to actively remember a lot of new words.
    If you don’t take notice of things actively, you won’t remember them. So, you can make pictures of what you see in your mind every day. For example, don’t just put your keys down! If you want to find them again, make a mind picture of the place where you’re putting them.
    小题1:The first two paragraphs just tell us ________.
    A．examples of memory problems
    B．Barbara was a very rich person
    C．language problems of two persons
    D．Mark often forgot his friends’ names
    小题2:When you forget things, you ________.
    A．must be too careless
    B．must accept the fact
    C．shouldn’t lose confidence in your memory
    D．should keep telling yourself that your memory is bad
    小题3:The underlined word “opportunities” in the fifth paragraph means “________.”
    A．chancesB．doctorsC．placesD．projects
    小题4:According to the article, ________ can make your memory better.
    A．doing sports every day
    B．talking to your friends
    C．realizing your memory problems
    D．making mind pictures of what you see
    小题5:The purpose of the article is to help you________.
    A．introduce the guest
    B．improve your memory
    C．remember new words

    In a US study, researchers measured (测量) the happiness of 4739 people over 20 years. The study found that a person’s happiness depends on the happiness of people he connects with. Surprisingly, it also found that happiness spreads not only between direct friends, but also among friends of your friends’ friends! And those good feelings seem to have the greatest influence among friends of the same sex (性别).
    “People with more good friends are less likely to develop depression (情绪低落) and worry,” says Dr. Toupey Luft. “Though you can’t choose your family or workmates, you do have control over friendships.” With a little effort, you can add more positive (正面的,积极的) relationships to your social circle. Here’re the suggestions:
    “Nobody is all positive or all negative,” says Luft. “But there are people you may feel more positive. Use that as your way to check people and keep records.” When spending time with others, pay attention to your feeling. Are you feeling tired and unhappy？To help you keep records, Luft suggests taking a moment when you get home to write down what your feeling is when around them.
    While it’s great to gather with positive friends, it’s also good to stay with others in the same life situations. “But if you’re all just complaining (抱怨) and nothing is changing, it’s not healthy,” says Luft. Are your friends negative, or are you doing most of the complaining? Considering the answers to these questions can help you decide if you want to stand in front of them. Or you could let the relationship disappear slowly.
    Sometimes your hobbies can lead to true friendships. Check out newspapers and websites to find a group or class for something you enjoy. These friends can always be there for you and can care each other through difficulties, illness and death.
    Not into groups? Look for individual (个人的) communication instead. Luft says, “Set small goals, such as having coffee with one new person, and develop friendship according to a plan. If someone suggests going for lunch sometime, set a date.”
    “If you’re feeling disappointed (失望) with a friend, try talking about what you both need,” says Luft. For example, tell her what you want during hard times in your lives. While your friend may need to be left alone, you may want caring phone calls. With some friends you laugh and have fun together at the movies—and that can be enough. With others, you pay attention to your deep connection.
    小题1:What does your happiness depend on, according to the passage?
    A．How people you connect with feel.
    B．How many friends you have.
    C．What situation you are in now.
    D．What kind of friends you have.
    小题2:What does the first suggestion want us to do?
    A．To measure our happiness.
    B．To check people around.
    C．To join a group for hobbies.
    D．To leave negative friends.
    小题3:Which of the following is true?
    A．We often have many friends during good times but few during hard times.
    B．It’s necessary to complain about something but not right to do so for long.
    C．Joining a group can bring better friendship than making individual friends.
    D．All the suggestions tell us to add positive relationship to our social circle.
    小题4:The underlined sentence in the last paragraph means that ______.
    A．when your friend is sad, you should call her up
    B．when your friend leaves you, you need comfort
    C．friends’ needs may be quite different sometimes
    D．people may behave differently during hard times
