　　What will man be like in the future－in 5000 or even 50 000 years from now? We can only make a guess, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today．For man is slowly changing all the time．

　　Let us take an obvious example．Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today．Now, on the average, men are about three inches taller．Five hundred years is a relatively short period of time, so we may suppose that man will continue to grow taller．

　　Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal．Even so, we still make use of only about 20％ of the brain’s capacity．As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more and eventually we shall need larger ones!This is likely to bring about a physical change too：the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger．

　　Nowadays our eyes are in constant use．In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses．But over a very long period of time it is likely that man’s eyes will grow stronger．

　　On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs．These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker．At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life．

　　But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer．In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald!

　　Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! This may well be true．All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us．He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own．

(1)

The reason for believing that future man will be different is that he _________．

[　　]

A．

began to change five hundred years ago

B．

never stops changing

C．

never stops growing

D．

has recently begun

(2)

[　　]

A．

will grow faster

B．

will be in use

C．

will play an important part

D．

will need more room than at present

(3)

Future man will probably _________．

[　　]

A．

have bigger eyes

B．

get weaker eyes

C．

see better

have to wear better glasses

(4)

Most of us were taught to ?　52　? the things that we do not understand. We were told to find the ?　53　? of unfamiliar words, and to try to find an explanation in another ?　54　? for anything that we did not understand in the book that we were reading. But when these things are done before the proper time, they only ?　55　? our reading, instead of helping it.

On November 19, 1863, Abraham Lincoln went to Gettysburg in Pennsylvania to speak at the National Soldiers Cemetery. The Civil War was still going on. There was much criticism of President Lincoln at the time. He was not at all popular. He had been invited to speak at Gettysburg only out of politeness. The principal speaker was to be Edward Everett, a famous statesman and speaker of the day. Everett was a handsome man and very popular everywhere.

　　It is said that Lincoln prepared his speech on the train while going to Gettysburg. Late that night, alone in his hotel room and tired out, he again worked briefly on the speech. The next day Everett spoke first. He spoke for an hour and 57 minutes. His speech was a perfect example of the rich oratory of the day. Then Lincoln rose. The crowd of 15,000 people at first paid little attention to him. He spoke for only nine minutes. At the end there was little applause. Lincoln turned to a friend and said , "I have failed again." On the train back to Washington, he said sadly, "That speech was a flat failure, and the people are disappointed."

　　Some newspapers at first criticized（批评）the speech. But little by little as people read the speech they began to understand better. They began to appreciate its simplicity and its deep meaning. It was a speech which only Abraham Lincoln could have made.

　　Today, every American school child learns Lincoln's Gettysburg Address by heart. Now everyone thinks of it as one of the greatest speeches ever given in American history.
