In 1900, an American engineer called John Elfreth Watkins made a number of predictions about what the world would be like in 2000. So what did Watkins get right and wrong 100 years later
1. Digital color photography
“Photographs will be telegraphed from any distance. If there is a battle in China a hundred years hence, snapshots of its most striking events will be published in the newspapers an hour later. Photographs will reproduce all of nature's colors.”
Watkins did not, of course, use the word "digital" or describe precisely how digital cameras and computers would work, but he accurately predicted how people would come to use new photographic technology. When Watkins was making his predictions, it took a week for a picture of something happening in China to make its way into Western papers.
2. Mobile phones
“Wireless telephone and telegraph circuits will span the world. A husband in the middle of the Atlantic will be able to converse with his wife sitting in her boudoir in Chicago. We will be able to telephone to China as readily as we now talk from New York to Brooklyn.”
International phone calls were unheard-of in Watkins's day. It was another 15 years before the first call was made, by Alexander Bell even from one coast of the US to the other.
The idea of wireless telephony was truly revolutionary.
3. Pre-prepared meals
“Ready-cooked meals will be bought from establishments similar to our bakeries of today.”
The popularity of ready meals in supermarkets and takeaway shops suggests that Watkins was right although he supposed that the meals would be delivered on plates which would be returned to the cooking establishments to be washed.
4. Hothouse vegetables
“Winter will be turned into summer and night into day by the farmer with electric wires under the soil and large gardens under glass.”
Large gardens under glass were already a reality, but he was correct to predict the use of electricity. Although colored lights and electric currents did not take off, they were probably experimented with.
24. In 1900, Watkins predicted accurately _______.
A. a war would break out in China one century later
B. photos would reach the other side of the earth via the Internet
C. how digital cameras and computers would work
D. people would use new photographic technology
25. What can we infer from the passage
A. Ready-cooked meals were popular 100 years ago.
B. Watkins predicted plates would be washed before they were returned.
C. Watkins would carry out experiments to test his predictions.
D. Large gardens under glass had been put in use 100 years ago.
26. What will most probably be discussed in the next part of the passage
A. Some wrong predictions from Watkins.
B. Some predictions for the next century.
C. Great changes that took place in the 20th century.
D. Comments on Watkins ' s predictions from all walks of life.
C
There are 5.25 trillion pieces of plastic trash in the world’s oceans, and each year, 8 million tons of plastic are added to the figure. Though the oceans seem vast enough to stomach a lot of plastic, the level of waste is starting to reach a crisis point: According to a new report by the Ocean Conservancy, by 2025, the ocean could contain one ton of plastic for every three tons of fish.
All these floating bits of plastic not only disrupt marine ecosystems, but also poison the global supply of seafood. “It’s reaching crisis proportions,” says Andreas Merkl, CEO of the Ocean Conservancy. “Plastic breaks down into small pieces that look like plankton (浮游生物) and is eaten by everything from plankton to whales.”
The new report calls for a focus on improving waste management systems in a handful of developing countries that account for the plastic leakage into the ocean. China, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam contribute more than half of the oceans’ plastic since their waste facilities haven’t kept up with rapid industrialization.
How can countries reduce the leakage of waste into the ocean The Ocean Conservancy report suggests that by providing more waste collection services, closing the leakage points within the collection system, getting rid of waste with effective landfill, and building more recycling facilities, the plastics leakage could be cut by 50% by 2020.
It’s not just an environmentalist’s daydream. Coca-Cola and Dow Chemical, along with some other multinational companies, have joined forces with Ocean Conservancy to fight ocean pollution. “We’re committed to working toward a future of a plastic-free ocean. Companies don’t make plastic with the intention of it ending up in the ocean, and we acknowledge the strong role industry must play in order to help eliminate ocean plastic waste by 2035.” Says a Dow Chemical director.
“While building landfills and incinerators (焚化炉) across these developing countries might not be pretty, it’s far more environmentally friendly than letting waste slide into the world’s oceans.” Says Andreas Merkl.
27.According to the passage, plastic poisons sea food because_________.
A .It damages marine ecosystems.
B .It breaks down into small bits that can be eaten by fish.
C .When sea animals are trapped in plastic bags, they can't breathe.
D .It contains poison pills.
28.Five developing countries account for the problem because __________.
A .They produce the majority of the waste worldwide.
B .There are too many multinational companies in those countries.
C .They have inadequate waste facilities to adapt to rapid industrialization.
D .Their governments neglect their responsibility to inspect the problem.
29.Andreas.Merkl emphasized the important role of in dealing with ocean plastic pollution in developing countries.
A .multinational companies B .individuals all over the world
C .recycling of waste D .building landfills and incinerators
30.What is the text mainly about
A. The consequence of plastic trash and the effort made by the developing countries.
B. Plastic trash poison the global supply of seafood.
C. Landfills and incinerators are beneficial to the developing countries.
D. A new report by the ocean Conservancy.

How to pick a great book to read
The world is full of great books, just waiting to be read. How can you pick one you'll really like Here are some tips:
What makes you happy
If you have a favorite hobby or pastime, look for books about that activity. 31 Do there exist a few careers you're interested in You can find books about almost anything you like, and you're more likely to enjoy reading a book if you're already interested in its subject.
Fact or fiction
32 Those are called fiction books. Novels, short stories, and fables are all examples of fiction. These books can transport you to another world or help you imagine something beyond your own experience. Non fiction books give you the who, what, when, and why. They tell stories using facts—but that doesn't mean they're boring. Non fiction books can bring to life everything from the first trip to the moon to what it's like to explore the deepest oceans. Many of them read like novels from start to finish. Try both fiction and non fiction books to see which you like better.
Find a family favorite.
What was your mother's favorite book when she was your age Or your dad's What about a sibling's 33 Then you can talk about what they liked about it and share your thoughts. It's a fun way to get to know your family a little better, and to find a book you'll enjoy!
34
Your local library is a great place to find books that you'll love, and you don't have to search all by yourself. Tell a librarian about your interests—rock stars, sports teams, historical events, whatever you're into—and the names of some books you already like. Your librarian can help you find other books that you're sure to love. Your teacher is another good person to ask.
Launch a book swap．
Why not get some friends together and trade favorite books It's always fun to see what your friends are reading. Even if they're not exactly bookworms, you can all encourage each other to read and share books and authors you like. You also can look for book swaps in your area. 35
A．Ask them and give it a read.
B．Read as many books as possible.
C．It's a great way to build your personal library for free!
D．Ask an expert.
E．Some books are entirely made up and imagined.
F．Are you really into dinosaurs or dogs or a specific celebrity
G．Set up a private library.

When I try to teach my daughter important 39 about life, I will break complicated things 40 into small pieces. One of those basics is 41 , for yourself, and for others. I teach my daughter to 42 . To fail feels bad, 43 , but not to have tried feels worse, because you can't respect yourself for it. And as the saying 44 , if you don't respect yourself, no one else will.

She knew, I'm sure, what had happened, 51 she thanked me and never spoke of it again.
I hope to help my daughter avoid similar 52 . She first has to gain self-respect 53 she can start respecting others. I believe in respect, because 54 it we're all enemies. I'm not 55 in this regard, far from it. But I try my best, and I respect others for trying their best in this changing world.

M: Thank you. It’s great to be here. Let’s start with tip one. Don’t go to bed with the television on. Some people think they can sleep well with the TV on, but the noise and lights mean you don’t really sleep well, so turn it off!
Tip two: Don’t think too much before bedtime. Do your hardest homework earlier in the evening. Do easier homework later. If your brain is too busy and full of ideas it takes longer to get to sleep.
Tip three: Don’t play video games an hour before you go to sleep. You may get excited, they can make your brain too busy and active.
Tip four: Turn off your cell phone when you go to bed. What is so important that it can’t wait until the morning If possible, leave your phone in another room.
Tip five: Play music if you like. But don’t play it too loud. Turn the sound down low.
W: Thank you for the useful advice for our young listeners, Doctor.
