We don’t know how different our future will be in the future. We can only try to imagine it.

At first we think about human relationship. In the year 2050, we will use computers almost every day. We will be making new friends through the Internet----even our husbands or wives will be met in this way. It will be much faster and easier for us. On the other hand, our relationships with people won’t be as important as they are today----we will feel a little lonely.

Computers will also help us in many other activities in 2050. For example, they will be used by the children at school to make their learning easier. In addition, there will be much more other machines which will play a similar role as computers, like robots which will do the housework for us.

Spending holidays will also be completely different. Traveling to other planets or to the moon will be available for everyone. Means of transport will, of course, change, too. We will be using solar-powered cars, which will be much more environmentally friendly.

We could expect that the faster technological progress would lead to a more polluted environment. But it isn’t true. We will pay more attention to protecting the environment. And, scientists will probably find cures for many dangerous diseases, like cancer or AIDS. Therefore, our surroundings as well as our health will be in a better condition.

Although we can’t predict the exact changes which will be made in the world, we often think about them. We worry about our and our children’s future; we have expectations, hopes as well as fears. But I think we should be rather sanguine about our future. We should be happy and believe good things will happen.

1.Why will people probably feel a little lonely in 2050?

A. Because the number of people will become much smaller.

B. Because people won’t communicate with each other much often.

C. Because people won’t like making friends with each other.

D. Because there will be less face-to-face communication.

2.According to the passage, which of the following will happen in 2050?

A. It won’t be difficult for people to travel to other planets.

B. The way of spending holidays will be the same as that of today.

C. The relationship between people will be more important than today.

D. Our environment will be much more polluted with a growing number of cars.

3.The underlined word “sanguine” in the last paragraph most probably means ______.

A. disappointed B. optimistic

C. curious D. surprised

4.What does the passage mainly talk about?

A. How people will communicate in the year 2050.

B. What high technology will appear in the year 2050.

C. How people will travel and spend their holiday in the year 2050.

D. What our life will be like in the year 2050.

“I love you Bob.” “I love you too, Nancy.” It was 2 a.m., and I was hearing my parents’ voices through the thin wall separating my bedroom from theirs. Their loving words were sweet, touching —and surprising.

My parents married on September 14, 1940, after a brief dating. She was nearly 30 and knew it was time to start a family. The handsome well-educated man who came by the office where she worked looked like a good bet. He was attracted by her figure, her blue eyes. The romance didn’t last long.

Seeds of difference grew almost immediately. She liked to travel; he hated the thought. He loved golf; she did not. He was a Republican, she a loyal Democrat. They fought at the bridge table, at the dinner table, over money, over the shortcomings of their parents.

There was a hope that they would change once they retired (退休), and the angry winds did calm somewhat, but what remained changed itself into bright, hard bitterness. “I always thought we’d …” my mother would begin, before making a detailed list of my father’s faults. The complaints were recited so often, I can repeat them by heart today. As he listened, my father would say something angrily in a low voice.

It wasn’t the happiest marriage, but as their 60th anniversary (纪念日) came nearer, my sister and I decided to throw a party. Sixty years was a long time, after all. Why not try to make the best of things? We’d provide the cakes, the balloons, the toasts, and they’d follow one rule: no fighting.

The agreement was honored. We had a wonderful day. When we thought back, we found it was an important celebration, because soon after, things began to change for my parents.

1.Bob married Nancy because of ______.

A. her nice appearance

B. her good education

C. her romantic nature

D. her position as an office girl

2.When the writer told the story, the mother was probably ______ years old.

A. 60 B. 70 C. 80 D. 90

3.What do we know about the writer’s parents?

A. Their marriage is a total failure.

B. They had different hobbies.

C. They had serious money problem.

D. They stopped quarrelling after they had children.

4.The purpose for the writer to hold the party is ______.

A. to recall the 60 years’ marriage life of her parents

B. to stop the long fighting between her parents

C. just to celebrate her parents’ 60th anniversary

D. to have a good time for family’s reunion

5.Suppose this passage is taken from the Reader’s Digest, which column do you think it is taken from?

C. Turning Point D. Unforgettable
