First, the population is growing very fast. There 2      more and more people in the world and most of them will live longer than before. Computers will be 3     smaller and more useful, and there will be 4     one in every home. And 5      studies will be one of the most important subjects in schools.
Second, people will work 6      hours than they are doing in the 21st century. They’ll have more free time for sports, watching TV and7    . Traveling will also be cheaper and easier. And more people will go to8      countries for holidays.
Third, there will be changes in our food, too. People will use more land to 9      new towns and houses. Then there will be less room for cows and sheep, so 10       will be more expensive. Maybe no one eat it everyday; 11     , they will eat more vegetables and fruit. Maybe people will be 12     .
Last, work in the future will be13      , too. Robots will do the 14     and hard work. Because of this, many people won’t have 15     work to do. This will be a problem.

According to some predictions, human beings will die out in 2012. Nearly all people think it’s impossible, but there are some more earthquakes in recent years.
Animals can predict the weather or other natural events. It may sound strange, but farmers living in the countryside think so. For hundreds of years , they have observed animals.
“Animals ’ behavior can be connected to future weather conditions or events.” They say. For example, if cows lie down, a rainstorm is coming. There are many traditional stories connecting animals and natural events. Many people think that these stories don’t have scientific evidence( 根據(jù) ) at all. Scientists, however, are beginning to take another look at some of these ideas.
A Japanese earthquake researcher named Kiyoshi Shimamura noticed an increase in dog bites a short time before earthquake hit. Then he did research on twelve public health centers in Kobe, Japan. These health centers treated people after the 1995 earthquake . He got some interesting information about the month before the big earthquake:  treatment for animals’ bites had increased . In fact, aggressive(侵略的)behavior in dogs, such as biting and barking loudly , jumped 60 percent.
There are also other changes in animals’ behavior before the earthquake. For example, fish began swimming together in large groups , but only in the middle of the water and not near the edges. Birds flew away from their nests for many days, leaving their eggs unprotected . These animals’ behavior suggests that animals may be able to predict natural events better than people.
小題1:What would cows behave before a rainstorm?
A．RunningB．BitingC．Lying downD．Sleeping
小題2:What do dogs begin to do just before an earthquake?
A．They leave their homes. B．They hurt people.
C．They lie down in grass.D．They stay together in large groups.
小題3:Which of the following animals behave strangely before an earthquake according to this passage?
A．FishB．CowsC．PigsD．All of the above.
小題4:In Kiyoshi Shimamura’s investigation(調(diào)查)，before the big earthquake, treatment for animals’  bites had _________.
A．disappearedB．increasedC．been the same as before.D．never changed.
小題5:What is the main idea of the passage?
A．Natural events and animals’ actions.
B．What animals do during earthquakes
C．Many earthquakes of Japan.
D．Some stories about animals.

On June 26, 2000, two scientists, called Francis Collins and Craig Venter, told the world that they could read the whole “map” of the human body: DNA. DNA is something that everybody has, and it tells the body what to do. DNA is the reason that we look like our mother and father, because we get some of their DNA to make our own.
People have been trying to understand the human body for a long time. In 1860, Gregor Mendel discovered a special reason why we look the same as other people in our family. It is because of small things named “genes” in our body. In 1953, James Watson and Francis Crick made another discovery and found out that those small parts are real messages written in the DNA with a special language.
In 1961, Marshall Nirenberg and Johann Matthaci found a message in DNA showing how DNA tells the cell（細(xì)胞）to build its parts. Scientists have now found all the words in the DNA map, but we still do not understand what they all do. By understanding what just one “word”   means, we can help save more people from several illnesses.
Most people hope that this will help make better medicine and help sick people. Other people worry that when people begin to know more words and find out lots of other information, we might use it in a wrong way, just to make people more attractive, or stop sick people from getting jobs. Man would have to meet a lot of trouble if DNA technic wasn’t limited（限制）in use.
小題1:When did we first know why we look like other people m our family?
A．In 1860B．In 1953C．In 1961D．In 2000
小題2:What does the underlined word “ genes” mean?
A. The “map” of DNA.                B. A special language.
C. Small parts of DNA.                D. DNA
小題3:What did the two scientists first discover in 1961 ?
A. The “map” of DNA.               B. A new illness.
C. The language of DNA.              D. A message of DNA.
小題4:What can we do if we understand some “ words” of the language inside the body
A．Make people get new jobs.
B．Make medicine for illnesses.
C．Make maps of human.
D．Make people less attractive.
小題5:What do people think about this work’?
A．It can cause good or bad results.
B．It can cause only good results.
C．It can cause good results but won’t work.
D．It can cause only bad results.
