Do you ever wonder whether we can foresee (预见) the future? I once read a story 1 almost 2 me believe that at least some people have premonitions (预感) about future events.
A man who lived on his own 3 a small flat was sitting 4 one evening when he suddenly smelled smoke coming 5 somewhere in the flat. He immediately 6 and went to the kitchen 7 he thought he 8 something on the gas 9 . There was certainly a smell of smoke, 10 there was nothing burning. So then he 11 in the hall and the bedroom and the bathroom, but he 12 couldn't find anything burning. When he went outside the flat, there was no smell of burning 13 , so, thinking it must be his imagination, he went 14 to his reading rather mystified (迷惑不解) .
A month later he returned 15 a business trip to find firemen 16 a fire in his flat. They told him that 17 electric wires had short-circuited (短路) and 18 the fire and that he should have had the flat rewired (重装电线) a long time ago. So was it 19 that the wires had started smoldering (慢燃) a month before ( when he smelled smoke ) , 20 had he in fact “seen into the future”.

完形填空
With the development of the information technology, we are stepping into the new century. People’s topics, especially the young people’s, are becoming more and more 1 , which older men never understand, the Internet and 2 life.
Just a few years ago, people 3 talked about what a computer could do to help their daily life. They considered it as a high-tech 4 for programming, to design machines, to control robots, 5 to make A-bombs! At that time, PCs were very expensive and it was too dear to 6 one’s computer to the web. What’s more, it was too slow. So 7 people knew what the Internet really meant.
But today, things have changed greatly. The Internet times are coming. 8 , if you like to have a shot at succeeding in business today, you will have to succeed 9 the web, 10 around and it seems as if about every company out there is in E-business.
For ordinary persons, E-mail is taking the place of traditional ways of 11 letters. And young people keep in touch with each other by connecting their 12 to the web. They can express their 13 , either happiness or anger, sorrow or loneliness, to their web mates in chat rooms. Some 14 have found their“true love”on the Internet!
I cannot 15 the Internet’s great devotions to our daily life in the world of tomorrow. The Internet can do 16 many things for us that we almost cannot live without it. Everything is 17 in the future, and no one can 18 what will exactly happen in years to come. But one thing is 19 : more people will come to know the Internet and will surely 20 themselves in his or her daily life.
