          What will life in the future be like?Will it be much better than it is now? And what will we be able to
    do 10,20 or 30 years later? Let's just close our eyes and think !
         Genetic Engineering
           Cenetic engineering will help us create the perfect human.  Babies will grow up to do slam dunks like Yao Ming or look like Cecilia Cheung.
             Also,we will be able to mix( 杂交)  plants and animals !  But do you want your dog to be a tree?
         The Dead
              In the future,we will be able to bring the dead back to life.  Then each family can meet and talk
    with its dead family members. It will be like living with ghosts.
        On television people will see Albert Einstein, Marilyn Monroe, Confucius, Elvis Presley, and
    Shakespeare talking with each other!
         Long-Iiving People
          Over the next 20 t0 50 years,it will become harder to tell the difference between human and machine. All body parts will be replaceable.We will then be able to make fake (假的) people.
           We will make a copy of ourselves,so we will appear to be alive long after we are dead.  A few
    decades later,people will find ways to transfer (转移)  their spirit (精神 )  to the new body.
    Nanobots
          We will be able to build nanobots (纳米机器人) to travel through our body. Also,nanobots will be
    used when we are sick.
          For example,when we have a stomachache,we will swallow a very small robot and it will travel
    through our stomach,taking video of what's happening there.  Then we can show the video to help the doctor diagnose (诊断)  our problem.
    Computers
         Computers help us remember,calculate,and enjoy ourselves. In the future,computers will be able to
    show their feelings. They will be able to think better than the human mind.
         After television became popular,many people soon became couch potatoes. It is not surprising that
    many people have become overweight; and things will get worse in the future !
          We will be more and more interested in computers and the Internet,spending more and more time in
    front of computers and forget what our real needs are.  Many of us will become super couch potatoes
    and weight 250kg!
    1. Which of the following dream can Genetic Engineering make come true? 
    A. Plants can be mixed with animals.
    B. The dead can come back to life.
    C. All body parts will be replaceable.
    D. Computers can think.
    2.  People in the future will live longer because of the following reasons EXCEPT
    A. we can replace our broken parts by good ones
    B. we can make a copy of ourselves
    C. we can create perfect human 
    D. we can find ways to transfer our spirit
    3. "Couch potatoes"refer to _________.  
    A. special potatoes
    B. people who like eating potatoes
    C. people who like sitting in couch
    D. people who spend much time watching TV
    4. What cause(s) people's overweight in the future? 
    A. Genetic Engineering.          
    B. Nanobots.
    C. Computers.          
    D. Potatoes.

         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."
