When they struggled to the 40th floor, the younger brother started to grumble（抱怨） and both of them began to quarrel. They continued to climb the steps, quarreling all the way to the 60th floor.

They then realized that they had only 20 more floors to climb, and they decided to stop quarreling and continue climbing in peace. They silently climbed on and reached their home at last. Each stood calmly and waited for the other to open the door. They then realized that the key was in one of their bags, which were left on the 20th floor.

This story is a reflection（折射）on our lives. Many of us live under the expectations of our parents, teachers and friends when we are young. We seldom get to do the things that we really love. By the age of 20, we are under so much pressure and stress that we get tired and decide to dump this load（负荷）.

Freed from this load, we work enthusiastically（激情地） and have ambitious （有抱负的）dreams. But by the time we reach 40, we start to lose our vision and dreams. We begin to feel unsatisfied and start to complain and criticize. We live miserable lives, as we are never satisfied. Reaching 60, we realize that we have little left to complain about, and we begin to walk the final episode in peace and calmness.

We think that there is nothing left to disappoint us, only the realization that we cannot rest in peace because we have an unfulfilled dream 一 a dream we abandoned many years ago. 5. Where did the two brothers leave their bags?

A. On the first floor. B. On the 20th floor. C. On the 40th floor. D. On the 60th floor. 6. The two brothers quarreled ________.

A. from the 20th floor to the 40th floor B. from the 40th floor to the 60th floor C. from the 60th floor to the 80th floor D. from the first floor to the 80th floor 7. In the passage, the author compared our ages to ________.

A. floors B. lifts C. steps D. bags 8. What would be the best title for the passage?

A. Don’t Lose Your Way B. Always Take Your Key C. Don’t Abandon Your Dream D. Hard Work Leads to Success

Welcome to your future life!

You get up in the morning and look into the mirror. Your face is firm and young-looking. In 2035, medical technology is better than ever. Many people at your age could live to be 150, so at 40, you’re not old at all. And your parents just had an anti-aging(抗衰老的) treatment. Now, all three of you look the same age!

You say to your shirt, “Turn red.” It changes from blue to red. In 2035, “smart clothes” contain particles(粒子) much smaller than the cells(细胞) in your body. The particles can be programmed to

You walk into the kitchen. You pick up the milk, but a voice says,“ You shouldn’t drink that!” Your fridge has read the chip (芯片) that contains information about the milk , and it knows the milk is old . In 2035, every article of food in the grocery store has such a chip.

Shopping in the United States changes a lot．About ninety years ago most people shopped in small stores that were owned by one person or a family．Women went from the bakery to the butcher’s, to the grocer and on to the fruit and vegetable seller in order to get their food for the week．Then, about sixty years ago, supermarkets were born．In a supermarket, people could get all the different kinds of food they needed without going to different stores．

The next big change in shopping in the United States was the shopping mall．A shopping mall is groups of stores under one roof．Because malls allowed people to shop without worrying about the weather, they soon became very popular．The mall became a place for people to socialize in addition to shopping．If you walk through a mall, you will see older people sitting, chatting and drinking coffee．Malls are places for teenagers to hang out．Many teens will often just “go to the mall” and spend time with their friends．

The recent change in American shopping was the superstore．Large chain stores such as Wal-Mart, Office Depot and Toys“R”Us have been built all across the United States．Because they are so large, they can buy goods at a great discount and sell them much cheaper than smaller stores．Sometimes, when they are built near small towns, many of the small town stores have to close．They just cannot compete with their giant neighbors．

And now, online shopping is becoming more and more popular all over the States．People are too busy to go to the physical stores, so they go shopping over the Internet．Online shopping has lots of advantages．For example, online stores are usually available 24 hours a day．Searching or browsing online shops can be faster than browsing the physical stores．While, online shopping also has its disadvantages．People are at higher risk of being cheated on the part of the businessman than in a physical store．And privacy(私密) of personal information may be let out．
