         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 biotechnology (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 120 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 imagine 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.

         任务型读写。请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后图表中的空格里填
    入最恰当的单词。)注意:每空不超过1个单词。
         Maybe you are an average student. You probably think you will never be a top student.
    This is not necessary so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to.
    Here's how:
         1. Plan your time carefully. When you plan your week, you should make a list of things
    that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. First your
    time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. then decide a good, regular time for studying. Don't forget
    to set aside enough time for entertainment. A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems,
    but it will force you to realize wha is happening to your time.
         2. Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this
    space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials.
    No games, radios, or television! When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject.
         3. Make good use of your time in class. Take advantage of class time to listen to everything
    the teachers say. Really listening in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember
    what the teacher says.
         4. Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes. Review the important
    points that your teacher mentioned in class. If you know what your teacher is going to discuss the
    next day, reading that material will become more meaningful, and you will remember it longer.
         5. Develop a good attitude about tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have
    learned about a subject. They help you remember your new knowledge. The world won't end if
    you don't pass a test, so don't be overly worried.
         There are other methods that might help you with your studying. You will probably discover
    many others after you have tried these.
