13.Let us suppose it is now about A.D.2060.let's make believe it is about fifty years from now.of course,things have changed and life is very different. Voyages to the moon are being made every day.It is as easy to take a holiday on the moon today as it was for the people in 1960 to take a holiday in Europe.At a number of scenic spots on the moon,many hotels have been built.The hotels are air-conditioned,naturally.In order that everyone can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the moon,every room has at least one picture window.Everything imaginable is provided for entertainment of young and old. What are people eating now?People are still eating food.They haven't yet started to take on heir(继承) supply of energy directly as electrical current or as nuclear power.They may some day.But many foods now come in pill form,and the food that goes into the pill continues to come mainly from green plants. Since there are several times as many people in the world today as there were a hundred years ago,most of our planet's surface has to be filled.The deserts are irrigated(灌溉) with water and crops are no longer destroyed by pests.The harvest is always good. Farming,of course,is very highly developed.Very few people have to work on the farm.It is possible to run the farm by just pushing a few buttons now and then. People are now largely vegetarians(素食者).You see,as the number of people increases,the number of animal decreases.Therefore,the people have to be vegetarians and we ar e healthier both in our bodies and in our minds,and we know the causes and cure of disease and pain,and it is possible to get rid of diseases.No one has to be ill any more.

17.A.Impoliteness in using electronic communication devices B.The objection to the use of some devices C.The annoying noise from the classroom D.A fact of modern life E.Disturbance by someone's screams in public places (65)E It's something that most of us find annoying.We're on our way home after a hard day at school and trying to have a quiet chat with a classmate or get in a little reading,when our peace is disturbed by someone screaming into their cell phone:"I'M ON THE BUS!" (66)A A survey published last week suggests Americans do not like the impolite use of today's electronic communication gadgets.Besides noisy phone users,sending and receiving e-mails while in company are also as very poor manners,reports MSNBC.com. (67)B One of the practices that participants in the survey most objected to was the use of phones,iPods and other devices during religious festivals.Some 90per cent of those surveyed thought this was insensitive and disrespectful. (68)D The survey does suggest,according to MSNBC,that most Americans accepted that the technologies are a fact of modern life.They had nothing against the use of laptops and cell phones in bathrooms.And an electronic thank-you note was just as acceptable as a handwritten one.
11.While IQ (Intelligence Quotient) tells you how smart you are.EQ (Emotional Quotient) tells you how well you use your smartness.Professor Salovery,the psychologist who created the term,EQ,says that it is IQ that gets you hired but it is EQ that gets you promoted. Supported by his research,he suggested that when predicting future successes,a person's brainpower,as measured by IQ tests,might actually matter less than a person's character,or EQ.Professor Salovery may be correct.For example,have you ever wondered why some of the best and smartest students in your class end up failing exams?Perhaps it is because of their EQ.People often make the mistake of thinking that EQ is the opposite of IQ.It is not.Although it is hoped that people have both high EQs and IQs,there is little doubt that those with low EQs have a hard time surviving in life. For a long time,researchers discussed if a person's IQ could be raised.The geneticists said no,while the social scientists said yes.Furthermore,the social scientists said that it was possible to improve a person's EQ,particularly in terms of"people skills",such as understanding and communication. Recently,a professor released the findings of a study on senior high school students.When some normal students were introduced to some disabled students,they found that afterwards they were more willing to help people in difficulties.At the same time,there was a marked change in the disabled students'attitudes.They became more positive about their disabilities and were more eager to try new things.People with high EQs often have positive attitudes towards life and are open to different ideas,so they tend to be more creative in their thinking.Please remember that having a high IQ is helpful but having a high EQ might even be more helpful.

12.A CCTV journalist succeeded in arousing a heated discussion among citizens by asking people whether they were happy.The responses to the question were various,even some quite funny ones(61)included(include).Although people played jokes on the answers,it did not take long (62)beforethey began to figure out the true meanings of happiness. It is certain that people's views on happiness(63)are affected(affect) greatly by their own life experience.Unfortunately,too many people refer to being rich as happiness and there is no sign of a decrease in (64)thenumber of those who are voluntarily at the mercy of wealth.Some people whose(65)intention(intend) is to make big money appreciate being given any chance to multiply their income,believing that is(66)wheretheir happiness lies.Some are eager to inherit their parents'property,especially those who(67)are(be) known as silver-spoon kids.Even worse,some would rather break the law to satisfy their financial desire or seek their fortune(68)illegally(legal).
