Let us suppose it is now about A.D.2060. Let's make believe it is about sixty 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. So 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 their supply of energy directly as electrical current or as nuclear power. They may be 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 with water. 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. You see, as the number of people increased, the number of animals decreased. Therefore, the people have to be vegetarians and we are healthier in both our bodies and our minds, too, and we know the causes and cure of diseases and pain, and it is possible to get rid of disease. No one has to be ill any more.

Such would be our life in 2060.

6. What are the hotels on the moon used for in 2060?

A. Scientific experiments.

B. People who have no houses.

C. Astronauts.

D. Holiday people.

7. Which of the following is WRONG?

A. In the story, the population of the world has increased.

B. Voyages to the moon are being made every day.

C. A great number of people work on the farm.

D. The food comes mainly from green plants.

8. According to the passage, why are people largely vegetarians?

A. Because most people like vegetables better.

B. Because the number of people increased and the number of animals decreased.

C. Because people think meat is unhealthy.

D. Because there are no animals at all.

9. According to the passage, what about the people's health in 2060?

A. Because the people have to be vegetarians, they are very thin.

B. The people have no illness.

C. The doctor don't know how to treat the diseases and pain.

D. The people are less healthier in our bodies than in our minds.

10. When was the passage written?

A. In about A.D. 2060.

B. In about 1960.

C. In about 2000.

D. In about 2004.

  My wife said to me, quietly, “That’s his ninth cup of tea today.”But she said, loudly, “It’s a beautiful cupboard, dear, isn’t it?”

  “Me too, ”said, Alf.You wait-it’ll be a lot colder by the end of the month.“Yes, colder and dearer! Kitchen cupboards will be $20 dearer on November 30, won’t they, Alf?”

  Alf looked hard at me for half a minute.Was there a little smile in his two blue eyes?I gave his account back to him.

  “If it isn’t too much trouble, Alf, ”I said.“Please add it up again.You can forget the date.”

     When I was an education official in Palo Alto,California,Polly Tyner,the president of
our school board,wrote a letter that was printed in the Palo Alto Times.Polly's son,Jim,
had great difficulty in school.He was classified as educationally disabled and required a
great deal of patience on the part of his parents and teachers.But Jim was a happy kid
with a great smile that lit up the room.His parents acknowledged his academic difficulties,
but always tried to help him see his strengths so that he could walk with pride.Shortly after
Jim finished high school,he was killed in a motorcycle accident.After his death,his mother
submitted this letter to the newspaper.
                                                                          
     Today we buried our 20-year-old son.He was killed instantly in a motorcycle
accident on Friday night.How I wish I had known when I talked to him last that it would be
the last time.If I had only known I would have said,"Jim,I love you and I'm very proud of you."
     I would have taken the time to count the many blessings he brought to the lives of the
many who loved him.I would have taken time to appreciate his beautiful smile,the sound
of his laughter,his genuine love of people.
     When you put all the good qualities on the scale and you try to balance all the irritating
phenomena such as the radio which was always too loud,the haircut that wasn't to our liking,
the dirty socks under the bed,etc.,your angry feelings won't amount to much.
     I won't get another chance to tell my son all I would have wanted him to hear,but,other
parents,you do have a chance.Tell your young people what you would want them to hear
if you knew it would be your last conversation.The last time I talked to Jim was the day he
died.He called me to say,"Hi,Mom! I just called to say I love you.Got to go to work.Bye."
He gave me something to treasure forever.
     If there is any purpose at all to Jim's death,maybe it is to make others appreciate more
of life and to have people,especially families,take the time to let each other know just how
much we care.
     You may never have another chance.
