Those days I’ve prepared to complete my college degree. The last project was named “smile”, which required us to go out and smile at three people and   36   their reactions.

It was freezing. My friend and I went out to a fast food restaurant. We were standing in line, waiting to be   37  , when all of a sudden people around us began to back away from their position.

As I   38  I smelt a terrible “dirty body” smell, and there standing behind me were two poor homeless men. As I looked down at the short gentleman close to me, he was smiling and his nice sky – blue eyes searched for   39  .

To sit in the restaurant and   40  up, they had to buy something. When the young casher at the counter asked what they wanted to order, one of them said coffee because that was all they could   41  . I smiled and asked the casher for two more breakfast meals on two   42  plates. Then I walked around the corner to the table that the men had chosen as a resting spot. I put the plates on the table and   43   the blue – eyed little man’s cold hands with my hands. With tears in his eyes, he said. “Thank you”. I noticed that all the   44  in the restaurant were set on me at that time.

I returned to college and   45   a paper about this story as my project to the instructor. She read it and though highly of my project. Just then I realized in my own way I had   46   the people at the restaurant, my friend, the instructor, and every person that shared the classroom. I graduated with one of the biggest lessons I would ever learn unconditional acceptance.

Much love and compassion is sent to each person who may read this and learn how to   47  people.

What will man be like in the future-in 5000 or even 50,000 years from now? We can only make guesses, 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 average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is 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 to 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 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 use. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.

71. The passage mainly tells us that ________.

  A. man's life will be different in the future

   B. future man will look quite different from us

    C. man is growing taller as time passes

  A. he makes use only 20 % of the brain's capacity

  B. his brain has grown larger over the past centuries

  C. the other 80% of his brain will grow in due time

  D. he will use his brain more and more as time goes on

74. What is true about a human being in the future?

  A. He is hairless because hair is no longer useful.

  B. He has smaller eyes and wears better glasses.

  C. His fingers grow weaker because he doesn't have to make use of them.
