Getting ready for work, you pause in front of the mirror, "Turn red," you say. Your shirt changes from
sky blue to deep red. Tiny preprogrammed electronic are rearranged (重新设置) in your shirt to change its
color. Looking into the mirror, you find it hard to believe that you are 40. You look much younger. With
amazing advances in medicine, people in your generation may live to be 150 years old. You"re not even
middle-aged.
As you go into the kitchen and prepare to pour your cereal (谷类 )breakfast into a bowl, you hear: "To
lose weight, you shouldn"t eat that," from your shoes. They read the tiny electronic code on the cereal box
to find out the nutrition details. You decide to listen to your shoes. "Kitchen, what can I have for breakfast?"
A list of possible foods appear on the counter as kitchen checks its food supplies.
"Ready for your trip to space. You ask your son and daughter." In 2005 only specially trained astronauts

their own homes. In those days labor was fairly cheap and most people would have thought it
worthwhile to employ a professional painter and decorator, unless of course they were either very
hand up or were in the trade themselves. Today, however, it is quite a different story. Men and
women in all walks of life turn their hands to all sorts of jobs round the house including painting,
papering, putting up shelves and wall units, and tiling walls and floors. Some people with no
professional training of any kind have even successfully built their own houses. These jobs have
been made easier today by the introduction of prepared materials, which require the minimum amount
of skill to use. In every high street throughout Britain nowadays there is at least one
"Do-it-Yourself" shop containing a vast range of timber, tiles, paints, wallpapers and floor
coverings besides tools of every description including power drills and many accessories.
"Do-it-Yourself" is a booming business; all these shops do a roaring trade and look like continuing
to do so. Probably the main reason for the craze is the high cost of present-day labor and the shortage
of building firms willing to do small jobs.
B. Because professional workers were very cheap.
C. Because they had no time.
D. Because professional workers could do much better.
B. Few people chose to be a professional worker.
C. People with no professional training successfully built their own houses.
D. New expensive materials required no skills at all.
B. "Do-it-Yourself" is a booming business.
C. There were fewer building companies.
D. High cost of professional workers.
B. Changes in building.
C. Changes in housing.
D. Great changes in these thirty years.
Between the innocence of babyhood and the seriousness of manhood we find a delightful creature called
a "boy". Boys come in different sizes, weights, and colors, but all boys have the same belief: to enjoy every
second of every minute of every hour of every day and to fill the air with noise until the adult males send them
off to bed at night.
Boys are found everywhere-on top of, under, inside of, climbing on, swinging from, running around, or
jumping to. Mothers spoil them, little girls hate them, older sisters and brothers love them, and God protects
them. A boy is TRUTH with dirt on its face, BEAUTY with a cut on its finger, WISDOM with chocolate in its
hair, and the HOPE of the future with a snake in its pocket.
When you are busy, a boy is a trouble-maker and a noise. When you want him to make a good impression,
his brain turns to jelly or else he becomes a wild creature destroying the world and himself with it.
A boy is a mixture-he has the stomach of a horse, the digestion of stones and sand, the energy of an atomic
bomb, the curiosity of a cat, the imagination of a superman, the shyness of a sweet girl, the brave nature of a
bull, the violence of a firecracker (鞭炮), but when you ask him to make something, he has five thumbs on
each hand.
He likes ice cream, knives, saws, Christmas, comic books, woods, water (in its natural habitat), large
animals, Dad, trains, Saturday mornings, and fire engines. He is not much for Sunday schools, company,
schools, books without pictures, music lessons, neckties, barbers, girls, overcoats, adults, or bedtime. Nobody
else is so early to rise, or so late to supper.
Nobody else gets so much fun out of trees, dogs, and breezes. Nobody else can put into one pocket a rusty
knife, a half eaten apple, a three-foot rope, six cents and some unknown things.
A boy is a magical creature-he is your headache but when you come home at night with only destroyed
pieces of your hopes and dreams, he can mend them like new with two magic words, "Hi, Dad!"
B. anger and disappointment
C. hope and expectation
D. confidence and imagination
B. He is slow, foolish and clumsy.
C. He becomes clever and smart.
D. He cuts his hand with a knife.
B. comic books
C. Saturday mornings
D. Sunday schools
B. He is tired of these creatures.
C. He is amazed by their naughtiness.
D. He feels unsafe staying with them.
(知识库) which may be called experience, and the college students will find that every craftsman (工匠)
has something he can teach and will generally teach gladly to any college student who does not look down
upon them.The information from them differs from that in textbooks and papers chiefly in that its theoretical
(理论的) part-the explanations of why things happen-is frequently quite fantastic (神奇的). But the
demonstration (示范) and report of what happens,and how it happens are correct even if the reports are in
completely unscientific terms.Presently the college students will learn, in this case also, what to accept and
what to reject. One important thing for a college student to remember is that if Aristotle could talk to the
fisherman, so can he.
Another source of knowledge is the vast store of traditional practices handed down from father to son,
or mother to daughter, of old country customs,of folklore (风俗). All this is very difficult for a college
student to examine, for much knowledge and personal experience is needed here to separate good plants
from wild grass.The college students should learn to realize and remember how much of real value science
has found in this wide, confused wilderness and how often scientific discoveries of what had existed in this
area long age.
B. wild weeds among good plants
C. the information from the parents
D. the vast store of traditional practices
B. Craftsman"s experience is usually unscientific
C. The contemptuous (傲慢的) college students will receive nothing from craftsmen
D. Traditional practices are as important as experience for the college students
B. be patient in helping the craftsman with scientific terms
C. learn the craftsman"s experience by judging it carefully
D. gain the craftsman"s experience without rejection
B. how to gain knowledge
C. why to learn from craftsman
D. how to deal with experience
many North Americans interact (互动) these days. The term is "networked individualism". This concept is
not easy to understand because the words seem to have opposite meanings. How can we be individuals (个体)
and be networked at the same time? You need other people for networks.
Here is what Professor Wellman means. Before the invention of the Internet and e-mail, our social networks
included live interactions with relatives, neighbors, and friends. Some of the interaction was by phone, but it
was still voice to voice, person to person, in real time. A recent research study by the Pew Internet and
American Life Project showed that for a lot of people, electronic interaction through the computer has replaced
this person-to-person interaction. However, a lot of people interviewed for the Pew study say that"s a good
thing. Why?
In the past, many people were worried that the Internet isolated (孤立) us and caused us to spend too
much time in the imaginary world of the computer. But the Pew study discovered that the opposite is true. The
Internet connects us with more real people than expected-helpful people who can give advice on careers,
medical problems, raising children, and choosing a school or college. About 60 million Americans told Pew that
the Internet plays an important role in helping them make major life decisions.
Thanks to the computer. We are able to be alone and together with other people-at the same time!
B. have the rights and freedom to do things of their own interest
C. do things in their own ways and express opinions different from other people
D. are able to keep to themselves but at the same time reach out to other people
B. Friends.
C. Phones.
D. Parents.
B. the Internet makes people waste a lot of time and feel very lonely
C. the Internet has become a tool for a new kind of social communication
D. a lot of people regard the person-to-person communication as a good thing
B. We"re Communicating on the Internet.
C. We"re Alone Together on the Internet.
D. We"re in the Imaginary World of the Internet.
Call me old-fashioned. Call me old. Call me what you want, but I refuse to become part of this new
Internet world.
I do not possess a computer at home or at the office. Actually, I stopped going to an office 35 years ago,
when all communications were done with a pen, a typewriter, or, if the matter was of world-shaking
importance, over the telephone. Likewise, if you like something advertised in a newspaper or magazine, you
visited the shop selling it at the given address, or you phoned the number shown. Then you spoke to the fellow
and asked for further details.
Tell me what you think of the following ad that appeared the other day in the newspaper. It was for a cure
for cancer and this is what it said: "Awareness is the key. Visit spfulford. com at the awareness site." There
was no address or telephone number for the site. So what do unfortunate people without a computer do if they
are seeking a cure for their illness?
There are, I am told, certain advantages in having access to the Internet. You can, for example, send love
messages across the world or even get married to someone that you meet online. This bit doesn"t interest me;
I have been happily married for 60 years. There are, of course, other activities for Internet users besides finding
love. They can pay bills, order groceries, or discuss with their doctors.
And this is by no means all. More amazing things are yet to come in the near future. I read a newspaper
report recently that quoted Stephen Hawking, an important British scientist. "The complexity of a computer as
it exists today is probably less than the brain of an earthworm," he said. "But, as technology advances,
computers will become more complex, and a time may come when the Internet may develop "consciousness."
In other words, the Internet will be able to think, have feelings, and may well be able to act on its own."
If Professor Hawking is right, I may change my attitude to computers. As I grow older each day, I would
like one of those that not only thinks for me but also accepts responsibilities for all my mistakes.
B. Computers are trying to take control of life.
C. Modern technology pushes old people away.
D. Do not expect me to be a supporter of the Internet.
B. convenient
C. expensive
D. advanced
B. Curing illnesses.
C. Delivering messages.
D. Responding to emotions.
