as they cannot do their jobs without it, and others simply feel they need it as they cannot imagine life without it.
To think that something that did not even exist 50 years ago has come to play a crucial role in our lives like
this in just about 15 years makes one wonder-just what will the future bring?
In 2004, a survey was conducted in the US asking a group of technology experts their opinions on the
Internet in the next ten years. 57% of them agreed that virtual classes will be more widely adopted in schools,
allowing students to learn with those at the same level and with interests in the same subjects. It's quite possible
that, by the year 2030,every child in every school will do all their school- work on their own laptop with all
their textbooks available (现成可使用的) on the Internet. No more heavy books to carry around and no more
pens and paper!
At work, we already use email to deal with people both inside and outside our offices and video
conferencing (电话会议) is occur- ring more frequently. This means that meetings can be held between offices
in different countries without the trouble caused by business travel. Business travel will stop to exist in the
future, and so will offices as people all start to work from home.
It has also become a trend for people to use pocket computers such as Blackberries. With this helpful
equipment, people can send and receive emails, surf the Web, and read multimedia files from absolutely
anywhere even if we are on a beach holiday.
The Internet will have a revolutionary (突破性的) effect on entertainment in the future. Already we can buy
and download music and movies from the Internet but it is still possible for us to buy a CD or go to the DVD
stores to rent the latest movies. However, it's quite possible that in the future, CD shops and DVD rental stores will close and cinemas will no longer exist. Entertainment will be- come completely virtual although hopefully
people will still want to get outside to play sports and entertain themselves in more healthy ways.
With the Internet we need only relax in the rocking chair. The Internet, however, has problems to be solved.
B. play an interesting part in
C. act a cruel character in
D. have an important effect on
B. virtual classes can make students' dream of getting rid of their schoolbags come true
C. people can be kept informed anytime and anywhere with the help of convenient equipment
D. people won't have to make business travel any more thanks to the video conference
B. Bad effects the Internet can have on us.
C. More excitements the Internet will bring us.
D. The likely ways to solve the problems.
B. Goodbye, textbooks and offices!
C. What will future life be like with the Internet?
D. How can human beings deal with the Internet?

As late as 1800, women’s only place was in the home. The idea of woman in the business world was unthinkable. Men were certain that no woman could do a good job outside her home. This was such a widely accepted idea that when the well-known Bronte sisters began writing books in 1864, they had to sign their books with men’s names instead.
Teaching was the first profession open to women soon after 1800. But even that was not an easy profession for women to enter because most schools and colleges were open only to men. Oberlin College in Ohio was the first college in America to accept women.
Hospital nursing became respectable work for women only after Nightingale became famous. Seeing that she was not only a nurse but also a rich and well-educated woman, people began to believe it was possible for women to nurse the sick and still be “ladies”. Miss Nightingale opened England’s first training school for nurse in 1860.
The invention of the typewriter in 1867 helped to bring women out of the home and into the business world. By 1900, thousands of women were working at real jobs in schools, hospitals and offices in both England and America. Some women even managed to become doctors or lawyers. The idea that women could work in the business world had been accepted.
