It’s 2035．You have a job, a family and you're about40 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 rear-ranged 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 hear，“To lose weight，you shouldn’t eat that．”from your shoes．They read the tiny electronic code(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 实用文档

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 add，“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 head 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 downloads and fills the viewer．Looking through the pages，you watch the news as video film rather than read it．

56．What changes the color of your shirt?

C．The counter．D．The medicine．

Over the last 70 years，researchers have been studying happy and unhappy people and finally found out ten factors that make a difference．Our feelings of well-being at any moment are determined to a certain degree by genes．However，of all the factors，wealth and age are the top two．Money can buy a degree of happiness．But once you can afford to feed，clothe and house yourself，each extra dollar makes less and less difference．Researchers find that，on average，wealthier people are happier．But the link between money and happiness is complex．In the past half-century，实用文档

average income has sharply increased in developed countries，yet happiness levels have remained almost the same．Once your basic needs are met，money only seems to increase happiness if you have more than your friends，neighbors and colleagues．

“Dollars buy status，and status makes people feel better，”conclude some experts，which helps explain why people who can seek status in other ways-scientists or actors，for example-may happily accept relatively poorly-paid jobs．

In a research，Professor Alex Michalos found that the people whose desires-not just for money，but for friends，family，job，health-rose furthest beyond what they already had，tended to be less happy than those who felt a smaller gap(差距)．Indeed，the size of the gap predicted happiness about five times better than income alone．“The gap measures just blow away the only measures of income，”says Micha los．

Another factor that has to do with happiness is age．Old age may not be so bad．“Given all the problems of aging，how could the elderly be more satisfied?”asks Professor Laura Carstensen．

In one survey，Carstensen interviewed 184 people between

实用文档

the ages of 18 and 94，and asked them to fill out an emotions questionnaire．She found that old people reported positive emotions just as often as young people，but negative emotions much less often．Why are old people happier? Some scientists suggest older

people may expect life to be harder and learn to live with it，or they’re more realistic about their goals，only setting ones that they know they can achieve．But Carstensen thinks that with time running out，older people have learned to focus on things that make hem happy and let go of those that don’t．

“People realize not only what they have，but also that what they have cannot last forever，” she says．“A goodbye kiss to a husband or wife at the age of85，for example，may bring far more complex emotional responses than a similar kiss to a boy or girl friend at the age of 20．”

60．According to the passage，the feeling of happiness

A．is determined partly by genes

B．increases gradually with age

C．has little to do with wealth

D．is measured by desires

实用文档

61．Some actors would like to accept poorly-paid jobs because the jobs______．A．make them feel much better

B．provide chances to make friends

C．improve their social position

D．satisfy their professional interests

62．Aged people are more likely to feel happy because

they are more__________．

A．optimistic B．successful

C．practical D．emotional

63．Professor Alex Michalos found that people feel less

happy if__________．

A．the gap between reality and desire is bigger

B．they have a stronger desire for friendship

C．their income is below their expectation

D．the hope for good health is greater

C

Researchers are placing robotic dogs(机器狗)in the homes of lonely old people to determine whether they can improve the quality of life for 实用文档

humans．Alan Beck，an expert in human-animal relationship，and Nancy Edwards，a professor of nursing，are leading the animal-assisted study concerning the influence of robotic dogs on old people’s depression，physical activity，and life satisfaction．“No one will argue that an older person is better off being more active，challenged，or stimulated(刺激)，”Edwards points out．“The problem is how we promote(使……成为现实)that，especially for those without friends or help．A robotic dog could be a solution．”

In the study，the robot，called AIBO，is placed for six weeks in the houses of some old people who live alone．Before placing AIBO in the home，researchers will collect baseline data for six weeks．These old people will keep a diary to note their feelings and activity before and after AIBO．Then，the researchers will review the data to determine if it has inspired any changes in the life of its owner．

“I talk to him all the time．and he responds to my voice，”says a seventy-year-old lady．“When I'm watching TV，he’ll stay in my arms until he wants down．He has a mind of his own．”

The AIBOs respond to certain orders．The researChers say they have some advantages over live dogs，especially for old people．Often the elderly are 实用文档

disabled and cannot care for an animal by walking it or playing with it．A robotic dog removes exercise and feeding concerns．

“At the beginning，it was believed that no one would relate to the robotic dog，because it was metal and not furry，”Beck says．“But it's amazing how quickly we have given up that belief．”

“Hopefully，down the road，these robotic pets could become a more-valuable health helper．They will record their masters’ blood pressure，oxygen levels，or heart rhythms．AIBOs may even one day have games that can help stimulate older people’s min ds．”

64．The purpose of Beck and Edwards’ study is to________.

A．understand human-animal relationship

B．make lonely old people’s life better

C．find the causes of old people’s loneliness

D．promote the animal-assisted research

65．In the research，the old people are asked to_________.

A．note the activities of AIBOs

B．keep AIBO at home for 12 weeks

C．record their feelings and activity

实用文档

D．analyze the collected information

66．What is the advantage of AIBO over live dogs?

A．It is easier to keep at home．

B．It can help the disabled people．

C．It responds to all the human orders．

D．It can watch TV with its owner．

67．The author seems to suggest that the future robotic

dogs may____________．

A．cure certain diseases

B．keep old people active

C．change people’s beliefs

D．1ook more like real dogs

Space is a dangerous place．not only because of meteors(流星)but also because of rays from the sun and other stars．The Atmosphere again acts as our protective blanket on earth．Light gets through，and this is essential for plants to make the food which we eat．Heat，too，makes our environment endurable．Various kinds of rays come through the air from outer space，but 实用文档

enormous quantities of radiation from the sun are screened off．As soon as men leave the atmosphere they are exposed to this radiation but their spacesuits or the walls of their spacecraft，if they are inside，do prevent a lot of radiation damage．

Radiation is the greatest known danger to explorers in space．The unit of radiation is called“rem”．Scientists have reason to think that a man can put up with far more radiation than 0.1 rem without being damaged；the figure of 60 rems has been agreed on．The trouble is that it is extremely difficult to be sure about radiation damage-a person may feel perfectly well，but the cells of his or her sex organs may be damaged，and this will not be discovered until the birth of deformed(畸形的)children or even grandchildren．Missions of the Apollo flights have had to cross belts of high radiation and，during the outward and return journeys，the Apollo crew accumulated a large amount of rems．So far．no dangerous amounts df radiation have been reported，but the Apollo missions have been quite short．We simply do not know yet how men are going to get on when they spend weeks and months outside the protection of the atmosphere，working in a space laboratory．Drugs might help to decrease the damage done

by radiation，but no really effective ones have been found so far．68. According to the first paragraph，the atmosphere is

essential to man in that______．

A．it protects him against the harmful rays from space

B．it provides sufficient light for plant growth

C．it supplies the heat necessary for human survival

69．It can be inferred from the passage that________．

A．the Apollo mission was very successful

B．protection from space radiation is no easy job

C．astronauts will have deformed children or grandchildren

D．radiation is not a threat to well-protected spaceexplorers 70．The best title for this passage would be_________．

A. The Atmosphere and Our Environment

B．Research on Radiation.

C．Effects of Space Radiation

D．Importance of Protection Against Radiation

The Smallest People in the World

Although Kenadie Jourdin--Bromley is 3.5years old, she is only 27 inches tall and weighs about 10 pounds，the same as a one-month-old infant．Kenadie is a primordial dwarf．

“They are the smallest children in the world, and it is a big mystery as to why they are so small．We just don’t know，”said Dr Charles Scott，one of the world’s experts on the condition．

Scott is the co-director of the Skeletal Dysplasia Programme at the Alfred I．DuPont Hospital for Children．He estimates that Kenadie’s condition，primordial dwarfism，is so rare that there are only about 125 people like her in the United

States and Canada．

Primordials，unlike other dwarfs，have what are considered normal proportions，but their growth is retarded(阻碍)almost from the momenl of conception．In fact，the Dame of the condition comes from one of the definitions of the word

实用文档

primordial--“from the moment of conception”．

Kenadie weighed only 2.5 pounds when she was born．Her hand was as big as a quarter，and her foot was only an inch and a half long．“I just want to hear her cry．If she cries，”Kenadie’s mother，Brianne Jourdin…Bromley，said she remembered thinking．“Then she’S alive．And then we just heard this tiny，tiny little neow．”

Kenadie was so small that nurses called her“Thumbelina”．Doctors who had never seen a child as small as she was warned that the prognosis was not good．

“They really believed that she would not live，”Brianne said．“An d then you go back to her and you’d think，‘Well，how can she not be OK? She’s so perfect．’”

Thinking back to Kenadie’s birth, her proud father, Court Bromley，said，“I have never seen anything so incredible and so perfectly formed．”

Little did Brianne and Court know that they both carried a defective gene that gave them a one in four chance of having a child like Kenadie．

“The only way they’re identified is after they’ve had one child，”Scott said．“There’s nothing we know of that causes that mutation．Nothing that you can do to fix it or change it．It’s purely chance．”
