     2005. You have a job, a family and you're about 40 years old welcome to your future life.
     Getting ready for work, you pause in front of the mirror. "Turn red," you say. Your shirt changes from
sky blue to deep red. Tiny preprogrammed electronics (智能电子元件) are rearranged in your shirt to change
its color. Looking into the mirror, you find it hard to believe you're 40. You look much younger. With amazing
advances in medicine, people in your generation may live to be 150 years old. You're not even middle-aged!
     As you go into the kitchen and prepare to pour your breakfast cereal into a bowl, you bear, "To lose weight,
you shouldn't eat that," from your shoes. They read the tiny electronic (电子源码) on the cereal box to find
out the nutrition details. You decide to listen to your shoes. "Kitchen, what can I have for breakfast?" A list of
possible foods appears on the counter as the kitchen checks its food supplies.
     "Ready for your trip to space?" you ask your son and daughter. In 2005 only specially trained astronauts
went into space-and very few of them. Today anyone can go to space for day trips or longer vacations. Your
best friend even works in space. Handing your children three strawberries each, you "The doctor said you need
these for space travel" Thanks to medical advances, vaccination shots (防疫针) are a thing of the past.
Ordinary foods contain specific vaccines. With the berries in their mouths, the kids bead for the front door.
     It's time for you to go to work. Your car checks your fingerprints and unlocks the doors "My office.
Autopilot," you command. Your car drives itself down the road and moves smoothly into traffic on the highway.
You sit back and unroll your e-newspaper. The latest news down loads and fills the viewer. Looking through
the pages you watch the news as video film rather than read it.

When Sir Winston Churchill , the great British prime minister, reached his eightieth birthday in November 1954, he was presented with his portrait by a well-known modern artist, Granham Sutherland. The painting had been ordered and paid by the members of Parliament(国会)， who wanted to honor the Grand Man of World war II.
Sir Winston and Lady Churchill were deeply moved by this mark of respect and affection. Neither of them, of course, allowed the donors（捐赠者） to see how much they both disliked the portrait. “It makes me look stupid—which I am not !” Churchill protested in private. Publicly, he only said that it was “a fine example of modern art”. His friends smiled: it was well-known that Sir Winston didn’t care for modern art.
Churchill was so unhappy about the portrait that finally his wife had it destroyed. Churchill died at ninety in January 1965. lady Churchill followed him in 1977. Shortly after her death, the public learned what had happened to Sutherland’s painting, and a heated argument broke out. The painter was understandably sad. The artistic community, shocked and angry, claimed that the destruction of the picture had been a crime. Historians said that they regretted the disappearance of a historical document. All agreed that Churchills didn’t have the right to do what they had done.
Well—did they ? A good part of the public felt that the owner of a portrait had the right to get rid of it if it made him so unhappy. The question, however, has been raised many times before: who has the right to a work of art—the sitter, the owner, the donor or the artist who created it?  And when the painting is the portrait of a historical figure, should the right of posterity (后代) be considered, as the historians claimed?
1. To have Churchill’s portrait painted was the idea of ______.

C.a friend of Churchill             D.the public
2. Which of the following is true ?

3. When Churchill said it was “a fine example of modern art”, he was ______.
A. dishonest           B. joking        C. praising the portrait          D. not been straight
4.When was the destruction of the portrait known to the public?
A . As soon as it happened             B.After Churchill died in 1965
C. Soon after Lady Churchill’s death     D. Not until recently
5. How did people reacted to the news?

Most dog owners feel that their dogs are their best friends. Almost everyone likes dogs because they try hard to please their owners. One of my favorite stories is about a dog who wanted his owner to please him.

　　One of my friends has a large German shepherd ( 牧羊狗) named Jack. Every Sunday afternoon, my friend takes Jack for a walk in the park. Jack likes these long walks very much.

　　One Sunday afternoon, a young man came to visit my friend. He stayed a long time, and he talked and talked. Soon it was time for my friend to take Jack for his walk, but the visitor didn’t leave.

　　German shepherds aren’t the only intelligent dogs. Another intelligent dog is a Seeing Eye dog. This is a special dog which helps blind people walk along the streets and do many other things.
