5.The Future of Technology
William,a businessman,arrives in a foreign airport.He doesn't show his passport.Instead,a machine in the wall reads the computer chip(芯片)in his arm.Th is contains information about him:his name,age,and I.D number.He exits the airport,and a car door opens when it"sees"him.The car takes him to his hotel.His room"knows"he has entered the building and it"reads"his body.He is cold,so the room becomes warmer.William then watches a business presentation on a video wall.When he takes a bath,the presentation"follows him and continues on the bathroom wall.Finally,the room plays music to help him sleep.It turns off the m usic when it"sees"him sleeping.
William doesn't exist,and none of this is real.But it might be soon."In five to ten years,computing and communications are going to be free and everywhere,in your walls,in your car,on your body,'says Victor Zue,leader of Project Oxygen.
Project Oxygen has one big idea:to create better relationships between machines and people.The dream is that computer will learn to understand what people want.
So,what changes will there be at work?Firstly,the building will know where everyone is,all the time.You want to talk to someone?Type the person's name on the nearest computer.It will show you a map of the building and exactly where this person is.You then call this person,who picks up the nearest telephone,also shown on the computer.If he or she is busy with a client(客户)or in a meeting,the computer will tell you.
     Is all this really possible?Visit the Siebel Center,Illinois and see for yourself:computers in the doors and walls,cameras everywhere,the technology of the future,but here today.

2.Learning About Different Cultures
Most of us live in a multicultural surroundings these days.Culture can bring us together,but it can also be a cause of division.How does our own culture affect the way we view others?What steps can we take to minimize problems?
Once my friend,who is of Greek origin,went to Sweden on business.He was sent by the head office in the US to introduce a new computer program to their branch office in Sweden.This newly created software would cut production cost in half and speed up the time from planning to production by 30percent,as well as make the finished product look better.After presenting this program to the managers and directors,he waited for their feedback.At first it was quiet.Then,the general manager said,"Hmm,this looks good."in a flat voice."Hmm,I agree,"said another.My friend was in shock.Later on,when he told this to me,he said,"My mother used expressions such as‘Fabulous!'and‘Marvelous!'.These people were presented with a multibillion-dollar program,and all they could say was"Hmm.Good.I don't understand it!"
What was the problem?Culture.What is an acceptable way of expressing excitement and joy in one country is not the same in another.The Swedes were thrilled,and they thought it was a fantastic computer program.They just had a different way of showing it.
Another example:I remember my mother always telling me to look at her when she was talking to me,especially if it was something important.It was a way of showing that I was paying attention in a respectful way.Now,my friend from Nigeria told me that she never allows her children to look at her when she is talking."I want them to respect me,"she says.Who is right?Both.That's the beauty of culture.There is no such thing as right or wrong,good or bad culture.
Of course,one has to take into consideration people living nearby.It is true that a person has to adjust to the country where he chooses to live.On the other hand,when people move into our country,we can make an effort to get to know their culture.Ask them about their country; ask them why they do certain things or wear different clothes.It can be quite interesting,actually.This doesn't mean we have to like it,or live our lives in their way.But knowledge can definitely lead to fewer disagreements and more understanding between people.
When culture is understood and used in an appropriate way,it can give a person a feeling of belonging and security.You know what to do in different situations.For example:at the time of birth and death.Let's give place to culture.Try to know and understand other people's culture,and also try to analyze our own.Let's choose our own way of life.Above all else---let's live in peace with all men!

9.Recently I had a conversation with a friend who has a long-term goal that will take several years to achieve.He seemed overwhelmed by the size of the goal and was getting discouraged.It let me remember the story of the clock that had been running and running.
One day,the clock began to think about how many times it had to stick each year.It counted the seconds up and found it would have to stick 31,536,000 times a year.The clock was overwhelmed.It said to itself,"I can't do it.That's too much."So it stops sticking.Then someone told it that it didn't need to do it all at once,but one tick each time.The clock then realized that was okay and started ticking happily again.
When we set our goals,it's good to think about the final results.But getting to a goal is doing a little bit every day,not doing it all at once.So next time you find yourself to overwhelmed by your goal,remember the clock and the number of ticks-do a little bit every day and you will reach your goal.
On the other hand,if you always focus on achieving your goals,you will only train yourself to go from one goal to the next without coming up for air.You need to introduce a littlebalance into your life.Do some activities that have nothing to do with your goals,like finding a new park to walk through,discovering a new route to run,or picking a great novel to read.Give yourself time to relax and don't miss out on the pleasure of life.
28.What was the problem of the author's friend?C
A.He had no life goals.
B.He set a wrong goal.
C.He worried too much about his goal.
D.His goal was too big to achieve by himself.

A.The result doesn't matter as long as we make efforts.
B.We shouldn't focus on it all the time.
C.We will give up if it is too big.
D.It's necessary to take advice.
30.The underlined word"balance"in the last paragraph refers toC.
A.A short-term goal                       
B.The pleasure of reaching a goal
C.Activities that free you from a goal        
D.Ways that help you reach your goal soon
31.What can be used as the best title for the passage?D
A.A little bit every day                      
B.The story of the clock
C.Introduce balance into life                 
D.How to achieve a life goal.
19.Looking back on my childhood,I get to believe that naturalists are born and not made.Although we were all brought up in the same way,my brothers and sisters soon threw away their pressed flowers and insects. Unlike them,I had no ear for music and languages. I was not an early reader and I could not do mental arithmetic.
 Before World War I we spent our summer holidays in Hungary.I have only the unclear memory of the house we lived in,of my room and my toys.Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grandparents,aunts,uncles and cousins who gathered next door.But I do have a clear memory of the dogs,the farm animals,the local birds and,above all,the insects.
 I am a naturalist,not a scientist.I have a strong love of the natural world,and my enthusiasm(热情) has led me into varied investigations(调查).I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil while reading about other people's observations and discoveries.Then something happens that brings these observations together in my conscious mind.Suddenly you wonder you see the answer to the riddle(迷),because it all seems to fit together.This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books,which some might honour with the title of scientific research.
 But curiosity,a keen eye,a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist; one of the outstanding qualities required is self-discipline,a quality I lack.A scientist requires not only self-discipline but hard training,determination and a goal.A scientist,up to a point,can be made.A naturalist is born.If you can combine the two,you get the best of both worlds.
32.The first paragraph tells us that the authorC.
A.was born to a naturalist's family       
B.lost his hearing when he was a child
C.didn't like his brothers and sisters      
D.was interested in flowers and insects

A.he didn't live long with them          
B.he was fully busy observing nature      
C.the family was too large to remember   
D.he was too young when he lived with them
34. It can be inferred from the passage that the author wasD   
A.a naturalist but not a scientist          
B.more a good observer than a listener
C.no more than a born naturalist         
D.a scientist as well as a naturalist
35. The author says he's a naturalist rather than a scientist probably because he thinks heA.
A.lacks s ome of the qualities required of a scientist
B.he couldn't do mental arithmetic
C.he was brought up in a family of farmers
D.he was not knowledgeable enough.
3.Dear Cutie-Pie,
Recently,your mother and I were searching for an answer on Google.Half way through entering the question,Google returned a list of the most popular searches in the world.At the top of the list was"How to keep him interested."
It surprised me a lot.I scanned several of the countless articles about how to be sexy and sexual,when to bring him a beer versus a sandwich,and the ways to make him feel smart and superior.
And I got angry.
Little One,it is not,has never been,and never will be your job to"keep him interested."
Little One,your only task is to know deeply in your soul-in that unshakeable place that isn't upset by rejection and loss-that you are worthy of interest.
If you can trust your worth in this way,you will be attractive in the most important sense of the world:you will attract a boy who is both capable of interest and who wants to spend his one life investing all of his interest in you.
Little One,I want to tell you about the boy who doesn't need to be kept interested,because he knows you are interesting.
I don't care if he can't play a bit of golf with me-as long as he can play with the children you give him and revel in all the glorious and frustrating ways they are just like you.I don't care if he doesn't follow his wallet-as long as he follows his heart and it always leads him back to you.I don't care if he is strong-as long as he gives you the space to exercise the strength that is in your heart.I couldn't care less how he votes-as long as he wakes up every morning and daily elects you to a place of honor in your home and a place of respect in his heart.I don't care about the color of his skin.I don't care if he was raised in this religion or that religion or no religion.
Little One,if you come across a man like that and he and I have nothing else in common,we will have the most important thing in common:You.
Because in the end,Little One,the only thing you should have to do to"keep him interested"is to be you.
Your eternally interested guy,
Daddy

6.Darek Fidyka,a 38-year-old Bulgarian,had been paralysed (瘫痪的) from the chest down for four years after a knife attack.Scientists from Britain and Poland took cells from his nose,transplanted  (移植) them into his back and re-grew his spinal cord (脊髓).Now he can walk and even drive a car.The doctors were delighted but said it was the first step in a long journey.
       The breakthrough came after 40 years of research by Professor Geoff Raisman,who found that cells had the possibility to repair damage to nasal (鼻腔的) nerves,the only part of the nervous system that constantly re-grows."The idea was to take something from an area where the nervous system can repair itself,and does so throughout life,and put it into an area that doesn't repair itself,"Professor Raisman said.
       Polish doctors injected the nasal cells into Mr Fidyka's spinal cord above and below the injury and used some nerves from his ankle to form a bridge across the damaged tissue.The nasal cells appear to have caused the spinal nerves to repair themselves.
       Professor Raisman achieved this with rats in the late 1990s,but this is his greatest success."I think the moment of discovery for me was Christmas in 1997 when I first saw a rat that couldn't control its hand put its hand out to me.That was an exciting moment,because I realised then that my belief that the nervous system could be repaired was true."
       Doctors chose the easiest case for their first attempt-it might not work for others.But there is a real sense of hope that an idea once thought impossible has been reali sed.
       David Nicholls,who helped provide money for the breakthrough,said information about the breakthrough would be made available to researchers across the globe.
"What you've got to understand is that for three million paralysed people in the world today,the world looks a totally brighter place than it did yesterday,"he said.
28.Why did Professor Geoff Raisman choose cells from the nose?A
A.The nervous system in the nose can repair itself.
B.Cells in the nose can be easily transplanted.
C.Cells in the nose re-produce rapidly.
D.He just wanted to give it a try.
29.Why did the operation work for Darek Fidyka?D
A.The nasal cells re-produced and spread quickly.
B.The nerves from his ankle helped cure the injury.
C.The nervous system in the spinal cord can repair itself.
D.The nasal cells helped the spinal nerves to repair themselves.
30.What made Professor Geoff Raisman believe the nervous system can be repaired?D
A.His study on animals.
B.His operation on a paralysed patient.
C.His sudden thoughts about Christmas.
D.His unusual experience with a sick rat.
31.David Nicholls'words suggest thatB.
A.the world is becoming better and brighter
B.paralysed people have the hope of recovery
C.the report of the breakthrough will be published soon
D.researchers across the globe will carry out the operation.
