Life in the future will be different from life today. Between then and now many
changes will happen. But what will the changes be?
The population (人口) is growing fast. There will be many 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 (至
少) one in every room. And computer studies will be one of the important subjects
in schools 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 fruit and vegetables. Maybe people will be healthier. Work in the future
will be different, too. Robots will do dangerous and hard work. Because of this, many
people will not have enough work to do. This will be a problem.

Thomas Edison was one of ten said to be the greatest scientists of his age. There
are only a few men in all of the history, who have changed the lives of other men
as much as the inventor of the first useful electric light. But Edison could never
be happy only because someone said he was a genius（天才）.“ There is no such thing
as genius,” Edison said. He said that what people called genius was mostly hard work.
But Edison was a dreamer as well as a worker. From his earliest days as a child
he was interested in discovering the secrets of nature. Nature, he often said, is
full of secrets. He tried to understand them; then, he tried to learn what could
usefully be done with them.
Edison enjoyed thinking. He knew that most people will do almost anything instead
of the difficult work of thinking, especially if they do not think very often. But
he knew, too, that thinking can give men enjoyment and pleasure.
Edison could not understand how anyone could be uninterested in life. As he loved
to think, he also loved to work. On the day he became 75 years old, someone asked
him what ideas he had about life. “Work,” he answered. “Discovering the secrets
of nature and using them to make men happier.” He said he had enough inventions
（发明）in his mind to give him another 100 years of work.
11. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Edison invented the electric light.
B. Many other people have changed Edison’s life.
C. Edison has changed the life of many other people.
D. Few men in history can change other people’s life.
12. Edison thought that what people called genius（天才） was mostly ____________.
A. kindhearted B. clever C. hard work. D. generous
13. Edison was ____________.
A. very much interested in nature
B. interested in discovering the secrets of nature
C. interested in changing people’s ideas
D. uninterested in making people happier by discovering the secrets of nature
14. In Edison’s opinion, ____________.
A. thinking can give people enjoyment and pleasure
B. people’s success lies mostly in genius
C. hard work is the second important thing in making people successful
D. there are few secrets for him to discover later
last sentence in the passage most probably implies（暗示） ____________.
A. life is too short for Edison to invent more for human beings
B. Edison made 100 inventions in his life
C. Edison was able to live and work for 100 years
D. People of his time were ready to give Edison another 100 years’ work

A mum saved her daughter’s life with her newly learned first aid skills. Sonya
Hall, 33, of Denny Avenue, Lancaster, had only just attended one first aid class the
day before when she found herself needing to use the skills on her three year old
daughter Tilly. Sonya, who also has son Emmen, six, attended the first aid course
at Lune Park Children’s Centre in Lancaster. Then she was faced with every parent’
s worst nightmare when Tilly went blue in the face and stopped breathing. But thanks
to her newly acquired skills, Sonya saved Tilly’s life. Sonya said: “Tilly was playing
with her brother and they were fighting over a toy. Emmen won the fight. Tilly fell
backwards and her head was hit. She was face down and shaking and at first I thought
she was angry. But then I saw she was blue in the face and had stopped breathing.
I reacted without thinking and immediately started using the first aid skills I had
learned the day before which were so fresh in my mind. I began doing mouth-to-mouth
and chest compressions (胸外按压). It probably took about a minute before Tilly
started breathing again, but to me it felt like a lifetime.”
After getting Tilly breathing again, Sonya called an ambulance and the doctors
came. Since then, Tilly has been diagnosed (诊断) with Reflex Anoxic Seizure (反
射缺氧发作). Sonya said: “The seizure can happen when there’s any unexpected pain,
fear or fright. It is just so grateful that the day before it happened, I had been
practicing first aid.”The Empowering Parents First Aid course is run by Lancashire
Adult Learning.
Sonya said: “I am just so glad I did the course and learnt the first aid skills.
I always feared I would not know what to do in a crisis situation, but gratefully
I had the knowledge and skills to deal with it.”
