21、Life in the future will be different from life today. But what will the change be?

The population is growing fast. There will be more people in the world and most of them will live longer than people live now.

Computers will be much smaller and more useful and there will be at least one in every home. And computer studies will be one of the important subjects in school then.

People will work fewer hours than they do now and they will have more free time for sports, watching TV and travel. Traveling will be much cheaper and easier. And many more people will go to other countries for holidays.

There will be changes in our food, too. More land will be used for building new towns and houses for all the people. Then there will be less room for cows and sheep, so meat will be more expensive. Maybe no one will eat it every day. Instead they will eat more fruits and vegetables. Maybe people will be healthier.

Work in the future will be different, too. Dangerous and hard work will be done by robots. Because of this, many people will not have enough work to do. This will be a problem.

根据短文内容，判断下列句子正误。正确的用“A”表示，不正确的用“B”表示。

【5】One big problem in the future is that many people don't have to work.

22、【语篇来自二十一世纪学生英文报·试题原创】

Our polite, little phrases

Many of us share these kinds of verbal habits: pausing at certain moments, filling in sentences with extra words or qualifying statements to make them sound more honest.

For example, have you ever been told by your friend: “I am only telling you this because I care about you—you really need to lose weight”? Or, by your classmate: “No offense, but to be perfectly honest, you’ve done a terrible job”?

These speech acts are called “verbal tee-ups”, according to a recent Wall Street Journal article. They are like cushions meant to soften bad or unpleasant news. Other verbal tee-ups include: “Don’t take this the wrong way, but…”, or “Don’t get mad, but…”.

For speakers, verbal tee-ups make it easier to say difficult things. They sound formal and polite. But aren’t they dishonest?

According to James W. Pennebaker, Psychology Department chair at the University of Texas at Austin, US, these phrases “are to formalize social relations so you don’t have to reveal your true self”, he told The Wall Street Journal.

However, Anne Curzan, professor of English at the University of Michigan, US, says that verbal tee-ups are a bit like traffic signals. “If we know that we’re about to say something potentially damaging, it can be nice to give the listener a moment to prepare for the message,” she wrote in the article Verbal Tee-ups: A More Positive Spin, published in The Chronicle of Higher Education.

Curzan gives an example. Suppose she needs an extension from an editor because she can’t get her article done on time. She might start her request with “I’m sorry to have to ask…”, or “I understand if this isn’t possible…”.

She could just say: “I need an extension”. But that doesn’t “feel very polite”, Curzan noted. Instead, it’s “sudden” and doesn’t “give the editor any choice”.

【1】What’s the purpose of pausing at certain moments and fill in sentences with extra words?

A．To give a pause.

B．To make them sound more honest.

C．To make an apology.

D．To give thanks.

【2】What’s the function of “verbal tee-ups”?

A．To soften bad or unpleasant news.

B．To soften good news.

C．To give bad or unpleasant news.

D．To make others feel uncomfortable.

【3】According to Anne Curzan, if we’re about to say something potentially damaging, it’s better to ________.

A．give a pause

B．use “verbal tee-ups”

C．say it directly

D．say sorry

【4】If we don’t use “verbal tee-ups”, it means________.

A．we are honest

B．we are polite

C．we are impolite

D．we have news to say

【5】What’s the passage mainly about?

A．“Verbal tee-ups”—a polite verbal habits.

B．“Verbal tee-ups”—a bad habits.

C．Verbal habits.

D．An honest pause.

23、For kids, it’s very important to stay healthy. Kids should pay more attention to their lifestyle and help themselves have healthy life habits. Here are some tips on staying healthy for kids.

Kids hardly care about basic hygiene（卫生）, and they share everything from drink to snacks. So it is important for kids to know the basic hygiene habits such as washing hands before eating, brushing teeth at least twice a day and so on. Similarly, kids should protect themselves from other kids with different kinds of infections（传染病）.

Healthy eating helps to live a healthy life. Kids should pay attention to the eating habits. Encourage themselves to eat healthy food such as fresh fruit and vegetables. And eat different kinds of food at different ages. Kids should know junk food is bad for health and try to eat less junk food.

You can take different activities to teach kids the importance of staying healthy. Some simple reading materials can let the kids know about their bodies. Also, playing games about brushing teeth, having meals is very useful and funny for kids. Certain group games and activities or even funny street plays can also help the kids understand the importance of staying healthy.

【1】Which of the following is a hygiene habit?

A．Sharing drink with others.

24、Making a good job choice is almost as good as choosing a good life. So, choosing a job is one of the most important decisions to make in life.

For my job, there are three important things that I will consider:

The first one － that I must work in an area I like － is most important to me. Someone once said if you find a job that you enjoy, then you won't have to work another day. I would like to work in an area where I can be more creative. I would like to be the most valuable member there. All this is possible only if like what I do.

The second one is that the area of my work must lead me to solve some new and hard problems. I would like to stay in the same area for a long time. In order for this to happen, the work must provide enough problems. More than just working to live, I enjoy making a difference and trying my best for the whole progress. I would also like to be well remunerated for my hard work, so I can lead a comfortable life with this hard-won money. Then I can provide the best for my family.

The third important thing is that I would like to work in an area that would help other people. The work in my mind is in fields such as the army, training or management. In such areas, I can help to develop the abilities of others and bring out their best. It would be a most satisfying job to help young people to become the best that they can be. When I become old, I would like to look back with a great sense of satisfaction that thousands of people have become better persons through my work.

I accept the idea that no one should make a choice of a job suddenly or quickly. He should decide what he wants to be in the long run. Then, he should decide how he works towards it. He should study the proper courses, read the books and speak to knowledgeable persons in that field before making a job choice. A good choice will most probably lead to a better life.

【1】According to the passage, a good job choice probably makes people_____.

A．solve fewer problems

B．choose a good life

C．be good family members

D．provide hard things

【2】The writer considers an enjoyable job most important because _______.

A．he has to bring out his best

B．it can make him more creative

C．he will have to work another day

D．it is possible for him to live better

【3】The underlined word "remunerated" in the passage means " ".

A．trained

B．praised

C．accepted

D．paid

【4】The writer wants to tell us that everyone should   _______.

A．become a knowledgeable person

B．join the army to become a better person

C．make preparations to find a satisfying job

D．help young people to choose an interesting job

【5】What is the best title for the passage?

A．My Job Choice

B．My Favorite Job

C．My Comfortable Life

D．My Sense of Satisfaction

25、根据首字母提示补全短文。

A professor told his students to go into the city slums (贫民窟) to s【1】 the life of 200 boys. He asked them to w【2】 reports about each boy’s future. Most of the students wrote, “He doesn’t have any h【3】.”

Twenty-five years l【4】, another professor read about the earlier reports. He told his students to report what had happened to the boys. They tried very h【5】 and found that 176 of the boys had become successful men—doctors, teachers and scientists.

The professor was very s【6】 and decided to study it further. Luckily, all the men were living near the s【7】 city and he was able to visit and ask each one, “What m【8】 you successful?” They all answered, “There was a good teacher.”

The teacher was also living there, so the professor found her and asked the old lady h【9】 she had pulled those boys out of the slums, and changed them into successful people.

The teacher’s face began to shine and said with a sweet s【10】, “It’s really very easy. I told those boys I’m proud of them.”
