A

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 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? A．The minor． B．The shirt itself． C．The counter． D．The medicine．

57．How do the shoes know that you shouldn’t eat the breakfast cereal? A．By pouring the breakfast into a bowl． B．By listening to the doctor's advice． C．By testing the food supplies in the kitchen． D．By checking the nutrition details of the food． 58．The strawberries the children eat serve as_______ A．breakfast B．lunch C．vaccines D．nutrition 59．Row is the text organized? A．In order of time．

B．In order of frequency． 、 C．In order of preference． D．In order of importance． B

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，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
