What will man be like in the future — in 5,000 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 a 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(容量). As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and finally we shall need our brains more and more, and finally we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring a physical change too: 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 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 us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own. 66. 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 and uglier as time passes D. Man’s organs’ functions will change 67. What serves as the evidence that man is changing?

A. Man has got stronger eyes now than he ever had. B. Man’s hair is getting thinner and thinner. C. Man’s arms and legs have become lighter and weaker.D. Man has been growing taller over the past 500 years.

68. The change in man’s size of the forehead is probably because __________.

A. he makes use of only 20% of the brain’s capacity B. his brain has grown larger over the past centuries

C. he will use his brain more and more as time goes on D. the other 80% of his brain will grow in due time

69. Which of the following 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. D. He thinks and feels in a different way. 70. It is implied that __________.

A. human beings will become less attractive in the future B. body organs will become poorer if they are not used often

C. human beings hope for a change in the future life D. future life is always predictable

C

You are given many opportunities in life to choose to be a victim or a creator. When you choose to be a victim, the world is a cold and difficult place. “They” did things to you which caused all of your pain and suffering. “They” are wrong and bad, and life is terrible as long as “they” are around. Or you may blame yourself for all your problems, thus internalizing(内化) your victimization. The truth is, your life is likely to stay that way as long as you feel a need to blame yourself or others. Those who choose to be creators look at life quite differently. They know there are individuals who might like to control their lives, but they don’t let this get in the way. They know they have their weaknesses, yet they don’t blame themselves when they fail. Whatever happens, they have choice in the matter. They believe their dance with each sacred(神圣的) moment of life is a gift and that storms are a natural part of life which can bring the rain needed for emotional and spiritual growth. Victims and creators live in the same physical world and deal with many of the same physical realities, yet their experience of life is worlds apart. Victims relish (沉溺) in anger, guilt, and other emotions that cause others—and even themselves—to feel like victims, too. Creators consciously choose love, inspiration, and other qualities which inspire not only themselves, but all around them. Both victims and creators always have choice to determine the direction of their lives. In reality, all of us play the victim or the creator at various points in our lives. One person, on losing

a job or a special relationship, may feel as if it is the end of the world and sink into terrible suffering for months, years, or even a lifetime. Another with the same experience may choose to first experience the grief, then accept the loss and soon move on to be a powerful creative force in his life. In every moment and every circumstance, you can choose to have a fuller, richer life by setting a clear intention to transform the victim within, and by inviting into your life the powerful creator that you are. 71. What does the word “they” in Paragraph 1 probably refer to?

A. People and things around you. B. Opportunities and problems. C. Creators and their choices. D. Victims and their sufferings. 72. According to Paragraph 2, creators __________.

A. seem willing to experience failures in life B. possess the ability to predict future life C. handle ups and downs of life wisely D. have potential to create something new 73. What can we learn from Paragraph 3?

A. Creators and victims face quite different things in life. B. Creators and victims are masters of their lives.

C. Victims can influence more people than creators. D. Compared with victims, creators are more emotional.

74. The examples mentioned in Paragraph 4 show that __________.

A. strong attachment to (沉浸在）sufferings in life pulls people into victims B. people need family support to deal with challengers in life C. it takes creators quite a long time to get rid of their pains D. one’s experiences determine his attitude toward life 75. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?

A. To define victims and creators. B. To evaluate victims against creators. C. To explain the relationship between victims and creators. D. To suggest the transformation from victims to creators.

I Like Reading

Reading is my favorite hobby. I can never stop the love for reading because books are like wise teachers as well as good friends in my life. As we know, books are source of knowledge. I benefit a great deal from reading.

There are a variety of books for us to choose from, like history books, science books, literary books and so on. But what interests me most is literary books, especially those by famous writers. For one thing, they help to improve my writing skills and broaden my horizon. For another, you can enrich my life and provide me with great fun. Isn’t it a pleasure to have great calm in mind while you are reading.
