Welcome to your future life!

You get up in the morning and look into the mirror. Your face is firm and young-looking. In 2035, medical technology is better than ever. Many people of your age could live to be 150, so at 40, you’re not old at all. And your parents just had an anti-aging (抗衰老的) treatment. Now, all three of you look the same age!

You say to your shirt, “Turn red.” It changes from blue to red. In 2035, “smart clothes” contain particles(粒子) much smaller than the cells in your body. The particles can be programmed to change clothes’ color or pattern.

You walk into the kitchen. You pick up the milk, but a voice says, “You shouldn’t drink that!” Your fridge has read the chip (芯片) that contains information about the milk, and it knows the milk is old. In 2035, every article of food in the grocery store has such a chip.

It’s time to go to work. In 2035, cars drive themselves. Just tell your “smart car” where to go. On the way. You can call a friend using your jacket sleeve. Such “smart technology” is all around you.

So will all these things come true? “For new technology to succeed,” says scientist Andrew Zolli, “it has to be so much better that it replaces what we have already.” The Internet is one example. What will be the next?

In the US,people prefer waiting for a table to sitting with people they don’t know.This means a hostess may not seat a small group until a small table is available.even if a large one is.If you are sitting at a table with people you don’t know,it is impolite to light up a cigarette without asking if it will disturb them.

At American restaurants and coffee shops you are usually served tap water(自来水)before you order.You may find the bread and butter is free,and if you order coffee,you may get a free refill.

Most cities and towns have no rules about opening and closing time for stores or restaurants,though they usually do make rules for bars.Especially in large cities, stores may be open 24 hours a day.

Serving in restaurants is often large, too large for many people.If you can’t finish your meal but would like to enjoy the food later.ask your waitress or waiter for a“doggie bag”.It may have a picture of a dog on it,but everybody knows you’re taking the food for yourself.

Supper and dinner are both words for the evening meal.Some people have“Sunday dinner”.This is an especially big noon meal.

Tips are not usually added to the check.They are not included in the price of the meal,either.A tip of about 15% is expected and you should leave it On the table when you leave.In some restaurants,a check is brought on a plate and you put your money there.Then the waiter or waitress brings you your change.

1.Which of the following statements is true?

A.American people like sitting with people they don’t know.

As a child, I was really afraid of the dark and of getting lost. These fears were very real and caused me some uncomfortable moments.

Maybe it was the strange way things looked and sounded in my own room at night that scared me so much. There was never complete darkness, but always a streetlight or passing car lights, which made clothes on the back of a chair take on the shape of a wild animal. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the curtains seem to move when there was no wind. A very low sound in the floor would seem a hundred times louder than in the day. My imagination (想象) would run wild, and my heart would beat fast. I would lie very still so that the “enemy” would not discover me.

Another of my childhood fears was that I would get lost, especially on the way home from school. Every morning I got on the school bus right near my home. That was no problem. After school, though, when all the buses were lined up along the street, I was afraid that I would get in the wrong one and be taken to some other strange places. On school or family trips to a park or a museum, I wouldn’t let the leaders out of my sight.

Perhaps one of the worst fears of all I had as a child was that of not being liked or accepted by others. Being popular was so important to me then, and the fear of not being liked was a serious one.

One of the processes growing up is being able to realize and overcome our fears. Understanding the things that scared us as children helps us achieve greater success later in life.

1.The author had _______ kind(s) of fears when she was a child.

A.three B.two C.one D.none

2._______ would scare the author at night.

A.Wild animals and enemies

B.Moving curtains

C.A very low sound in the floor

D.Wild imagination

3.When she went to some other places, she would _______.

A.walk away without others

B.follow others closely

C.take a bus by herself

D.make sure not to take a wrong bus

4.Which of the following would be possibly true when she was a child

A.She was always the leader of the others.

B.She always got poor grades.

C.She thought being popular among people was important.

D.She was not liked by others at all.

IN China, red is known to be a lucky color. But you may be surprised to know that British culture is also full of the color red. It’s true: Go to Britain and you will see red everywhere.

There are red postboxes on street corners and on the sides of buildings. The British red phone box is famous all over the world. The famous double-decker (双层) bus is red. Red is the color traditionally worn by British soldiers in battle (战争), and there is red in the UK’s Union Jack national flag. Britain even has a famous team of stunt (特技) jet fighters (喷气式战斗机) called “The Red Arrows”.

To go with British culture’s love of red, British nature also features many red animals. A beloved bird is the robin (知更鸟), which has a bright red breast (胸脯). At Christmastime in winter, the bird is commonly found on the greetings cards people send each other. There is also quite a rare animal called the red squirrel (松鼠). Foxes are red, and they used to be hunted by men in red outfits (服装).

But is red considered lucky to British people? A good way to see how a culture looks at a color is to look at the way it uses it in language. The results may surprise you. Even though Britain has a lot of red on its high streets and in its countryside, red is used quite differently as a metaphor (比喻). If someone “sees red”, they are angry. When a person is “red faced”, they are out of breath or blushing (脸红). Red is also a political color: it means a left-winger (blue is the color of the political right). To be “in the red” is to be in debt (someone in credit (存款) is “in the black”).

Look hard enough and you’ll find the color red being used in all countries. For instance the “red heart” symbol (符号) is pretty universal. But whether the British realize it or not, red is everywhere in Britain. It does seem that the country is in love with the color.

1. The article is mainly about ______.

A. the metaphor of red in the English language

B. the preference for red animals in Britain

C. the history of red items in Britain

D. the color red in British culture

2. Someone saying bad words about you behind your back might make you ______.

A. red-faced B. see red

C. in the red D. in the black

3. It can be inferred from the article that ______.

A. red has different meanings depending on the context (情境)

B. the color red is not as popular as it was before in Britain

C. most British people are aware of (知道的) how popular the color red is in British culture

D. British people are often asked to explain the meaning of the color red

4.The main purpose of the article is to ______.

A. compare B. judge C. inform D. argue

A strong memory depends on the health and vitality of your brain.They say that you can’t teach an old new tricks, but when it comes to the brain, scientists have discovered that this old saying simply isn’t true.1. .

Give your brain a workout.Memory, like muscular strength, requires you to “use it or lose it”.The more you work out your brain, the better you’ll be able to process and remember information.2. .

Don’t skip the physical exercise.While mental exercise is important for brain health, that doesn’t mean you never need to break a sweat.Physical exercise helps your brain stay sharp.It increases oxygen to your brain and reduces the risk for disorders that lead to memory loss.

Get enough sleep.There is a big difference between the amount of sleep you can get by on and the amount you need to function at your best.3. .

Keep stress in check.Stress is one of the brain’s worst enemies.Over time, stress destroys brain cells.Studies have also linked stress to memory loss.

Have a laugh.4. That holds true for the brain and the memory, as well as the body.Unlike emotional responses, which are limited to specific areas of the brain, laughter engages multiple regions across the whole brain.

__5.__ Just as the body needs fuel, so does the brain.You probably already know that a diet based on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, “healthy” fats and lean protein will provide lots of health benefits, but such a diet can also improve memory.For brain health, though, it’s not just what you eat—it’s also what you don’t eat.

A.Eat a brain-boosting diet.

B.Play games with memory.

C.Laughter is the best medicine.

D.But oversleeping is not good for your brain.

E.Even skipping a few hours makes a difference!

F.You have to shake things up from time to time!

G.The human brain has an astonishing ability to adapt and change.
