If you come to visit, you'll probably be surprised when you come in. Someone will give you an
electronic PIN (个人身份证号码) to wear. This PIN tells the house who and where you are. The
house uses this information to give you what you need. When it's dark outside , the PIN turns on the
lights nearest you , and then turns them off as you walk away from them. Music moves with you too.
If the house knows your favorite music , it plays it. The music seems to be everywhere, but in fact other
people in the house hear different music or no music. If you get a telephone call , only the nearest
telephone rings.
Of course, you are also able to tell the house if you want something. There is a home control
console (控制台), a small machine that turns things on and off around you.
The PIN and the console are new ideas, but they are in fact like many things we have today. If you
want to go to a movie,you need a ticket. If I give you my car keys,you can use my car. The car works
for you because you have the keys. My house works for you because you wear the PIN or hold the
console.
I believe that ten years later, most new homes will have the systems (系统) that I've put in my house.
The systems will probably be even bigger and better than the ones I've put in today.
I like to try new ideas. I know that some of my ideas will work better than others. But I hope that one
day I will stop thinking of these systems as new, and ask myself instead,"How did I live without
them?"
B. wood
C. glass
D. software

C. A home for the future.

B. To explain more easily what the functions of the PIN and the console are.
C. To explain the importance of the PIN and the console.
D. To let readers know how special his- house is.
B. you can make a telephone call anywhere
C. the writer is able to change his new idea into practice
D. it has been controlled by computers.
B. The writer hopes the systems will become part of everyday life in the future.
C. The writer can't live without his systems in his house.
D. The writer hopes that he will be able to come up with more new ideas in the future.

How can you get happiness? You may say that happiness requires nice comforts like a 71 , a car, big bank balance, a high paying job.
Here in India where I live, I have 72 through villages where people seemed to earn just enough to make ends meet. I have seen happiness there. I have seen 73 faces and smiling eyes that readily gave me directions. They were very 74 and made my journey easier.
I have also worked for 3 years on Wall Street, in a big Investment Bank. I have seen some people with a lot of 75 but still unhappy. I am not saying that all rich are unhappy (or the poor, happy). But the fact that there 76 some rich people who look angry or li
stless (无精打采的) and there are some poor people who 77 happy, points out that
there must be something else to 78 , than just money, luxury (奢侈品) and comfort.
Happiness, it seems, is not a factor of how much you have. You can feel happy 79 to a good song, you can feel happy watching a beautiful sunrise, you can feel happy in any number of ways that don’t require any possessions at 80 . .

One day, as my dad and I were driving to the shop, I looked out of the window of the car and I saw an old man standing at the street corner. There was a rose in his hand, he was smelling the rose. For some reason, our eyes met and we looked at each other for about twenty seconds. There was nothing unusual about this man but the meet was unusual to me. Up to that moment in my life, I had given no thought to anyone on the street, in shops or anywhere else. I had no interest out of my family.
But I was interested in that old man. For the first time I had interest in a stranger. What kind of life had he lived? Where had he been in his time?
Once a great man encouraged us to “stop and smell the rose”. Now I want to tell these words to you. Stop what you are busy with and try to fully understand things and people in your eyesight. If you don’t care about others on your road of life, then you are missing your life itself.
