We don’t know how different our future will be in the future.We can only try to imagine it.

At first we think about human relationship.In the year 2050, we will use computers almost every day.We will be making new friends through the Internet—even our husbands or wives will be met in this way.It will be much faster and easier for us.On the other hand, our relationships with people won’t be as important as they are today—we will feel a little lonely.

Computers will also help us in many other activities in 2050.For example, they will be used by the children at school to make their learning easier.In addition, there will be much more other machines which will play a similar role as computers, like robots which will do the homework for us.

Spending holidays will also be completely different.Traveling to other planets or to the moon will be available for everyone.Means(方式) of transport will, of course, change, too.We will be using solar-powered cars, which will be much cleaner.

We could expect that the faster technological progress would lead to a more polluted environment.But it isn’t true.We will pay more attention to protecting the environment.And, scientists will probably find cures for many dangerous diseases, like cancer or AIDS.Therefore, our surroundings as well as health will be in better condition.

Although we can’t predict(预测) the exact changes which will be made in the world, we often think about them.We worry about our and our children’s future; we have expectations, hopes as well as fears.But I think we should be rather sanguine(乐观的) about our future.We should be happy and believe good things will happen.

1.Why will people probably feel a little lonely in 2050?

A.Because the number of people will become much smaller.

B.Because there will be less face-to-face communication

C.Because people won’t like making friends with each other

D.Because people won’t communicate with each other much often.

2.According to the passage, which of the following will happen in 2050?

A.The relationship between people will be more important than today.

B.The way of spending holidays will be the same as that of today.

C.It won’t be difficult for people to travel to other planets.

D.Our environment will be much more polluted with a growing number of cars.

3.What does the passage mainly talk about?

A.How people will communicate in the year 2050.

B.What our life will be like in the year 2050.

English is very important in the modern world. Many people want to learn it well. Here are some things that I want to say about learning it.

To learn English well, you need two things---passion and good learning methods(方法). Passion is the more important one. Why? Because passion makes you want to learn English. Learning methods only tell you how to do it better and faster.

If you love learning English, you will do it regularly(有规律地) and spend more time on it. It will also be easy for you to remember new words and grammar rules. __________ For example, some people like history and know a lot about World WarⅡ. If you ask a person who doesn’t like history to memorize all the facts, he probably can’t do it.

When you want to learn English, you can do the following things:

First, imagine(想象) that you can talk to native(本土的) speakers just as you talk in your mother language. Imagine yourself to be a manager(经理) in a foreign company(公司). Imagine you are living in an English-speaking country.

Second, use English as much as possible. This is very important. The more you use English, the better you will learn it. English is very popular, so you can use it everywhere. You can watch American cartoons, sing English songs, and read interesting books written in English as well.

1. The underlined word “passion” means “_______” in Chinese.

A. 热情 B. 态度 C. 步骤 D. 情感

2.The missing(空白的) part in the third paragraph can be __________.

A. You can’t memorize everywhere in learning English

B. You will find it hard to learn English

C. Everyone likes to learn what they like most

3.What can you do if you want to learn English according to the passage?

B. You need two things if you want to learn English well.

C. It’s easy for you to remember new words or grammar rules if you are an English lover.
