         What will people die of 100 years from now? If you think that is a simple question, you have not been
    paying attention to the revolution that is taking place in bio-technology (生物技术). With the help of new
    medicine, the human body will last a very long time. Death will come mainly from accidents, murder and
    war. Today's leading killers, such as heart disease, cancer, and aging itself, will become distant memories.
         In discussion of technological changes, the Internet gets most of the attention these days. But the change
    in medicine can be the real technological event of our times. How long can humans live? Human brains were
    known to decide the final death. Cells are the basic units of all living things, and until recently, scientists were
    sure that the life of cells could not go much beyond l20 years because the basic materials of cells, such as
    those of brain cells, would not last forever. But the upper limits will be broken by new medicine. Sometime
    between 2050 and 2100, medicine will have advanced to the point at which every 10 years or so, people will
    be able to take medicine to repair their organs. The medicine, made up of the basic building materials of life,
    will build new brain cells, heart cells, and so on-in much the same way our bodies make new skin cells to take
    the place of old ones.
         It is exciting to imaging that the advance in technology may be changing the most basic condition of human
    existence, but many technical problems still must be cleared up on the way to this wonderful future.
    1. According to the passage, human death is now mainly caused by _____.
    [     ]
    A. diseases and aging
    B. accidents and war
    C. accidents and aging
    D. heart disease and war
    2. In the author's opinion, today's most important advance in technology lies in _____.
    [     ]
    A. medicine
    B. the Internet
    C. brain cells
    D. human organ
    3. Humans may live longer in the future because _____.
    [     ]
    A. heart disease will be far away from us
    B. human brains can decide the final death
    C. the basic materials of cells will last forever
    D. human organs can be repaired by new medicine
    4. How long can humans live in the future according to the passage?
    [     ]
    A. Over 100 years.
    B. More than 120 years.
    C. About 150 years.
    D. The passage doesn't tell us.
    5. We can learn from the passage that _____.
    [     ]
    A. human life will not last more than 120 years in the future
    B. humans have to take medicine to build new skin cells now
    C. much needs to be done before humans can have a longer life
    D. we have already solved the technical problems in building new cells

         One year ago today, seven patients shared their stories of illness and recovery on the New York Time Well
    (a blog), according to a report published in April,2009.
         They were the first Patient Voices, a regular series that offers a first person (第一人称的) description of
    the challenges patients face as they deal with different kinds of health problems. Since the first Patient Voices
    appeared, New York Times producer Karen Barrow has continued to give a voice to a lot of patient stories.
         We heard from Jacqueline Castine of Bloomfield Hills, Mich,who had bipolar disorder (躁郁症), and whose
    son also suffered from mental (精神的) illness."I could not save him," she said."I could not fix (惩罚 ) him.
    He leaves a beautiful daughter and a very sad mother."
         And there is runner Alyssa Johnson,43,who was training for the Boston Marathon in 2003 when she began
    showing the first signs of Parkinson's disease." Sometimes when I'm running I'll come to a long downhill, and
    my legs work the way they used to work and my arm swings (摆动) the way it used to. It's like running before Parkinson's, and that's the best feeling.
         And then there's the voice of Robin Grinsted, 50, of Swansea, S. C.,who has H. I. V. She is refused by her
    church and feels lonely."They're not accepting," she said." But I know there will be people putting their arms
    around me some day."
