l in mid-January called Pongal. It includes rice and a dish of ri

t almost anything. And surfing the Web can help students with the
ir homework and widen their knowledge.Li Dong, a teacher at No. 4

at home.CA new report shows what life might be like in 100 years
from now. It describes skyscrapers that are much taller than tod
ay’s buildings, underwater ‘bubble’ cities and holidays in space.
The report is from a company. It asked experts (专家) on space and
architecture, as well as city planners, to give their ideas on t
he life in 2116. They said the way we live, work and play will be
totally different to how we do these things today. The experts u
sed the Internet as an example. They said that 25 years ago, peop
le could not imagine how the Internet and smart-phones would chan
ge our lives. The Internet has completely changed the way we comm
unicate, learn and do daily things. The experts said the changes
in the next century would be even more unbelievable.Researchers q
uestioned 2,000 adults about the prediction (预言) they thought wer
e most likely (很可能的) to happen in the future. They predicted that
in the future, few people will go to an office but will work fro
m home and have work meetings online. People will have highly dev
eloped 3-D printers that will let you download (下载) a design for
furniture or a food recipe and then ‘print’ the sofa, table or pi
zza at home. There will also be less need for visits to the docto
r. We will all have a home health instrument that will tell us wh
at the problem is and give us treatment. We will also be going in
to space for holidays and to get resources that we have used up o
n Earth. A prediction that is missing is whether people will need
to study English.1.The writer uses the example of the Internet i

sign and ‘print’ oneD. design and make one by oneself3.The passag
e is mainly about ______.A. the life in 2116 B. holidays in space
C. the history of the InternetD. medical treatmentD“Listen carefu
lly to what I say,” the time traveler said, “I shall tell you som
ething that you will not agree.”“Why will we not agree?” I asked.
“Because the science and mathematics you know are not correct,” h
e said. “You believe there are only three dimensions — length, br
eadth and thickness. ”“There is nothing to argue with that,” the
youngest member of our little group said.“Exactly!” the time trav
eler answered, “But there is also a fourth dimension — time.”“We
all know about time,” another member of the group said. “Time pas
sed.”“I do not agree,” the time traveler said, “Length, breadth a
nd thickness do not pass. They stay in the same place in space. W
e move about them. I can prove that time is the same. It does not
pass. We move in time the same way that we move in breadth, leng
th and thickness. ”None of us believed the time traveler, and we
argued with him for many hours.“If we could travel back in time,”
the scientist said, “We could do things to change the future.”“I
f we could travel forward in time,” the doctor said, “we could do
things that change our present.”The time traveler smiled, “It is
clear,” he said, “that there is only one way I can show you that
I am right. We must do an experiment. Please wait here. ”He left
the room and soon returned, carrying what looked like a clock.“T
his is a model of a time machine. It took me two years to make it
,” the time traveler said. “I want all of you to understand that
when I start the machine, it will immediately travel in time and
disappear from the present. ”He turned to the youngest of all. “G
ive me your hand,” he said.The young man put out his hand. The ti
me traveler took it and placed it on the machine. Immediately, th
ere was a sudden wind, and the little machine disappeared.I was c
ertain this was not a trick, but the doctor was not so sure.“Are
you asking us to believe,” he said, “that the machine is now in a
different time?”“Certainly! In my laboratory, a full-size machin
e is almost complete. As soon as it is complete, I shall send mys
elf on a journey through time. Would you like to see my machine?
”“Are you serious about this?” the doctor asked.“I have never bee
n more serious about anything,” the time traveler said, “Come.”We
followed him to his laboratory. There, we saw the actual machine
, not quite complete, but large enough for a man to sit in.1.How
many dimensions did the time traveler say there are?A. Two.B. Thr
ee.C. Four.D. Five.2.How long did it take the time traveler to ma
ke his model time machine?A. Two years.B. Two months.C. Twenty ye
ars.D. All his life.3.What kind of story do you think the passage

are used in factories. They are used to do many dangerous, diffi

robots are used to help. For example, some people can’t see. Many
of these people use a dog to help themselves move around. This d

hem. In the future, robot dogs might take the place of these guid
e dogs.One kind of robot guide dog has wheels. It moves in front
of the owner. It is very clever. It knows the speed of its owner’
s walk. The owner wears a special belt (带子). This belt sends inst
ructions to the owner from the dog, such as “Stop here”, “Turn le
ft” or “Turn right”.In the United States, another kind of robot h
elps disabled people to take care of themselves in their daily li
fe. The robot hears the sound of its owner’s voice. It follows in
structions such as “Turn the page” or “Make a cup of coffee.Robot
s are also used in American hospitals. At one hospital a robot ta
kes meals from the kitchen to the sick people’s rooms. It never l
oses its way because it has a map of the hospital in its computer
memory.In the future, robots will work in space. But robots will
never take the place of human beings. They can, however, help us
in a lot difficult ways.1.When did the first robot invented?____
