These houses will be ecological and use solar energy and recycled water. A‘smart’mirror in the bathroom（that's right, it’s a mirror with a computer!）will check your health. And guess what? Robots will cook and do the housework.

Maya

b. Pollution is a big problem today, but will be a bigger problem in 100 years. So people won’t use cars with petrol. They will drive in electric cars on underground roads. And there will be electric buses with computers for drivers! The best thing? People will be able to travel in time. Now that will be exciting!  

Rosie

c. Hi Josh. Life will be better in 2100-in space! People will live on the Moon and Mars in special cities. They will grow food and send it to the Earth in a huge space craft. Space stations will orbit the Earth and control the climate. There will also be holidays in space! How cool is that?  

Brandon

d. Will life be different in 100 years? Yes, it will. Will life be better? No, it won’t! Climate change will cause floods and droughts. Rich people will live for a long time, maybe 200 years! But life won’t be easy for most people. They won’t have food and water.  

Faith

e. Well, Josh, the good news is… there won’t be any schools! Students will have lessons at home on their computers. They’ll be in contact with other students all over the world in a‘virtual’classroom. The bad news is…teachers will still give us homework in the future!

25、Miguel gathered his guitar and all the Ernesto de la Cruz albums he could carry and rushed down from the rooftop. His family surrounded him when he reached the yard.

Abuelita’s eyes darted from the guitar to the albums. “What is all this?” she said. “You keep secrets from your own family?”

“It’s all that time he spends in the plaza,” Tio Berto said.

“Fills his head with crazy fantasies,” Tia Gloria added.

“It’s not a fantasy (幻想)!” Miguel protested. He handed his father the old photograph of Mama Imelda, Coco, and the unidentified (未知身份的) man and pointed to the guitar. “That man was Ernesto de la Cruz! The greatest musician of all time!”

“We’ve never known anything about this man. But whoever he was, he still left his family,” Miguel’s father said. “This is no future for my son.”

“But, Papa, you told me to look to the ofrenda (灵坛). You said my family would guide me! Well, Ernesto de la Cruz is my family! I’m supposed to play music!”

“Never! That man’s music was a curse (诅咒)! I will not allow it!” Abuelita said, raising her voice.

“You will listen to your family. No more music,” added Miguel’s father.

“Just listen to me play – ” “End of argument,” Papa said.

Miguel thought they’d change their minds if they heard him play. He lifted his guitar and prepared to strum, but Abuelita snatched it from his hands. She pointed to the photo. “You want to end up like that man? Forgotten? Left off your family’s ofrenda?”

“I don’t care if I’m on some stupid ofrenda!” The words burst out before Miguel could stop them. He couldn’t take them back, even though he wanted to.

The family gasped. Abuelita’s brow hardened. She raised the guitar in the air.

“No!” Miguel cried.

“Mama,” Miguel’s dad said just as Abuelita smashed (撞击) the guitar against the ground.

“There! No guitar, no music,” she said.

The whole family was silent as Miguel stared at his guitar, shattered into a hundred pieces on the ground. Miguel couldn’t move — he felt like someone had smashed him to pieces.

26、Whenever we watch a horror movie and something scary happens, we might close our eyes and scream. However, chances are that we will continue to watch and enjoy the movie anyway. So why can fear be so much fun?

According to a recent study conducted  at the University of Pittsburgh in the US， watching horror movies can raise our mood, unite people and increase our confidence.

In the study, 262 adults were asked to enter a haunted house. Inside，they were met with a series of intense(紧张的) things over a course of 35 minutes，and were asked to record their feelings both before and after the experience. At the same time, the researchers also monitored their brain waves. According to the researchers, the participants（参加者） were more likely to be happier and less anxious and tired after they left the house. That's because in this intense condition, their brains produce more dopamine.

What’s more, taking advantages of this sensation may bring people together .  Experiencing the haunted house is just like running a 5 kilometers race or tackling a difficult climbing wall. This means that people in scary situations may be more likely to be uncertain and depend on others for support. “ We build a special closeness with those we are with when we are in an excited state,” said Margee Keer ,one of the study's authors, told The Atlantic. “ We're social and emotional beings---- we need each other in times of stress. So the fact that our bodies have evolved to make sure we feel close to those we’re with when afraid makes sense.”

In addition, being scared in a safe place could be a good way to increase our confidence. “Being scared in a safe place is a source of enjoyment and makes us feel good physically and can even serve as a confidence boost by reminding us that we can make it through a scary situation. We are strong.” Keer told The Independent.

【1】The passage mainly tells us ____________.

A. fear can help us increase our confidence.

B. why fear can be so much fun.

C. fear is important in our daily life.

D. what happens in some horror movies?

【2】It's clear that_____________ .

A. People in scary situations surely unite together.

B. Experiencing in the haunted house may help to raise mood.

C. Being scared can make us feel good physically.

D. Scary things are helpful.

【3】In Margee Keer’s opinion_________.

A. Everyone should watch horror movies.

B. We feel close to those who’re with us when we feel anxious.

C. Going through a scary situation can help us to increase our confidence.

D. We don't need each other in times of stress.

【4】The underlined word dopamine means_________ .

A. Knowledge

B. Power

C. Something that can make you tired.

D. a chemical which produces happy feelings.

【5】Compare experiencing a haunted house to a 5 kilometers race to show that___.

A. the fear may bring people together.

B. the fear can increase our confidence.

C. the experience can raise our mood

D. experiencing in a haunted house is difficult.

27、Learning English can be great fun. Today I learned some expressions (表达) about fruit and vegetables. I’d like to tell you something about them.

First, cucumbers (黄瓜) are long and green. People often eat them. If we say a person is “as cool as a cucumber”, that means he never worries about anything or gets angry. He is calm at any time.

If two people look exactly the same, we might say they are “two peas in a pod (豆荚)”.

Potatoes are popular food in many countries. “Small potatoes” means something or somebody unimportant. For example, Jim doesn’t want to be “small potatoes”, so he works hard. Someone might call you “a couch potato” if you sit and watch television all day and get little or no exercise.

Bananas are a kind of popular fruit. We can say you “go bananas” if you are very angry.

【1】Who are most probably described as “two peas in a pod”?

A．Lovers.

B．Teammates.

C．Classmates.

D．Twins.

【2】The underlined word “calm” means “________”.

A．angry

B．cool

C．down

D．worried

【3】In which part of a magazine can you read this passage?

A．Sports.

B．Story Telling.

C．Travel.

D．Language Learning.

【4】What is the passage mainly about?

A．Fruit and vegetables.

B．How to cook fruit and vegetables.

C．Some expressions about fruit and vegetables.

D．How to learn English well.
