21、People are always interested in what the future will look like. The answers are quite different and some further discussions about the future predictions are here.

How can we know what the future will look like?

To understand the future, you must know the past. What took us to today and what changed along the way? The world has changed a lot during the past 200 years, but the basic (基本的) needs are the same as those 200 years ago. The basic needs are food, sleep, the feeling of love and care. Will they change in the next 200 years? No.

Why do we need to predict the future?

First, we need to start to think: What kind of future do we want for ourselves? What kind of future do we want to pass on to our kids? And then we need to know: What decisions do we need to make today? What decisions will give the best result in the future? If we have good answers to all these questions, we can live better.

22、（题文）Ivan Fletcher loves crazy inventions. He writes a weekly magazine column（专栏）called “Unbelievable Inventions”. “One of my favourite inventions is the Butter Stick. It looks like a glue, but it's butter. You spread it on the bread without using a knife.” He says. “Another cool invention is Duster Slippers for pets. You put these special shoes on your dog or cat. As the animal runs around your house, it collects dust from the floor. Very useful!”A lot of these inventions come from Japan—the home of the crazy invention.

Ivan says that the British also invent a lot of crazy things. “The other day I found an invention called a Cat Seat Saver,” he says. “The Cat Saver looks exactly like a sleeping cat—but it isn't real. You put it on your seat if you have to go to the restroom. No one will sit in your seat because they think there's a sleeping cat on it. Pretty cool!”

However, does anyone buy these things? Yes. Lucy Wade from the shopping website crazygadgets.com says that their customers are young, professional people.

“They buy these small things mostly for fun.” She says. “They are usually looking for a present for a friend's birthday or a silly gift for someone they work with.” If you have an idea for an amazing invention, send it to Lucy at lucyw@crazygagets.com.

23、Dear Joe,

24、I have been reading the book Carotte’s Web by E．B．White．In this book, Fern lives on a farm．

At the start of the book, a little pig is born．He is very small．Fern's father is going to kill him．But Fern saves the pig．She calls him Wilbur and feeds him．When he is big enough, Wilbur goes to live in Fern's uncle’s barn(谷仓)．

In the barn, Wilbur makes a friend called Charlotte．She is a spider．Wilbur finds out that Fern’s uncle is going to kill him for meat．Wilbur asks Charlotte for help．

Charlotte helps by writing words in her web so that people will think Wilbur is a special pig．

My favourite part of the book is when Wilbur has gone to the fair(集市)．The family have been at the fair too．They have helped Wilbur to get ready for a competition, but now they have gone home．Wilbur is nervous and Charlotte is working on a new web．This is an exciting part of the book．

25、   Most children are introduced to a study of history early in their school life by hearing stories of people who lived in other times and places. They learn that the world has not always been e【1】 as it is today. Later in the elementary grades a more formal study of this subject may include local history, n【2】 history, world history, and contemporary history (现代史) or current events. Most schools in the United States r【3】 pupils to take one year of United States history in grade 7 or 8, and a【4】 year in grade 11 or 12. Other history courses, such as ancient history and English history, are sometimes offered as selective course.

Various m【5】 are used to add to the information given in the regular history books used in a course. Students may increase their knowledge of history by watching filmstrips, picture slides, and films. The class may take a field trip to some historical places, visit a museum or an art gallery, or p【6】 a play that dramatizes (将……搬上舞台) a historical event. Other interesting p【7】 include making collections of coins, stamps, or objects from a particular period or country, making scrapbooks (剪贴簿), and constructing models of buildings or historical scenes. Older children especially enjoy reading historical novels that describe vividly a period in the past.
