Task 1

What will man be like in the future — in 5000 or even 50000 years from now? We can only make a guess, 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

第 3 页 共 10 页

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 a relatively short period of time, so we may assume 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. As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and eventually we shall need larger ones. This is likely to bring about a physical change to 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 very 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? It 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 name will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.

1. The passage tells us about ______.

A. how man's life will be in the future B. how future man will look like

C. the fact that man's organs will function differently in the future D. the fact that man is growing uglier as time passes

2. There is evidence that ________.

A. man has been growing taller over the past 500 years B. man has got stronger eyes than he ever had C. man's hair is getting thinner and thinner

D. man's limbs are getting weaker because he tends to make less use of them

3. Man's forehead will grow larger because _______.

A. he will use of only about 20% of the brain's capacity B. the other 80% of his brain will grow in due time

C. he had rather narrow forehead a few hundred years ago D. he will have to use his brain more and more as time goes on

4. Future man will probably _____.

第 4 页 共 10 页

A. have smaller eyes B. have larger eyes

C. see better D. have to wear better glasses

5. The reason for believing that future man will be different is that he _______.

A. is always changing B. never stops changing C. hopes for a change D. will live a different life

Task 2

Sports and games make our bodies strong, prevent us from getting too fat, and keep

us healthy. But these are not their only use. They give us valuable practice in making eyes, brain and muscles work together. In tennis, our eyes see the ball coming, judge its speed and direction and pass this information on to the brain. The brain then arms, legs, and so on, so that the ball is met and hit back where it ought to go. All this must happen with very great speed, and only those who have had a lot of practice at tennis can carry out this complicated chain of events successfully. For those who work with their brains most of the day, the practice of such skills is especially useful. Sports and games are also very useful for character training. In their lessons at school, boys and girls may learn about such virtues as unselfishness, courage, discipline and love of one's country; but what is learned in books cannot have the same deep effect on a child's character as what is learned by experience. The ordinary day school cannot give much practical training in living, because most of the pupils' time is spent in classes, studying lessons. So it is what the pupils do in their spare time that really prepares them to take their place in society as citizens when they grow up. If each of them learns to work for his team but not for himself on the football field, he will later find it natural to work for the good of his country instead of only for his own benefit. 6. When we play tennis we have to _____.

A. first use our eyes, then the brain and finally the muscles

B. make our eyes, brain and muscles work almost at the same time C. use mainly the arms and legs to hit

D. use mainly the muscles so that the ball is met and hit back

7. The \

A. the passing of information and making of decisions B. the meeting and hitting back of the ball

C. the coordinated movements of our eyes, brain and muscles D. a lot of practice before playing tennis

9. According to the author, a child's character can be most deeply influenced by

______.

A. what he does out of class B. what he learns in books C. his place in society D. his lessons in school

10. What is of the greatest importance to a football team is _____.

A. its members B. its team work C. the football field D. the climate

Task 3

I run a manufacturing company with about 350 employees, and I often do the interviewing and hiring myself. As I see it, there are four keys to getting hired:

Firstly, prepare to win. Getting hired is no longer an once-in-a-lifetime experience. Employment experts believe that today's graduates could face as many as ten job changes during their careers. That may sound like a lot of pressure. But if you are prepared, the pressure is on the other folks, the ones who haven't done their homework. Secondly, never stop learning. Work on your weaknesses and develop your strengths. To be able to compete, you've got to keep learning all your life. And then, believe in yourself even when no one else does. Don't ever let anyone tell you that you can not accomplish your goals. Who says you are not tougher, harder working and more able than your competitors? At last, find a way to make a difference.

From my standpoint, that is what it is all about.
