Cool Inventions That Will Take You to the Future
Scientists never stop amazing us with fascinating inventions. Here are some cool ones that are already in stores or will be there soon.
Portable Toaster There is actually an idea of a knife that could not only cut the bread into small pieces, but be heated enough to toast a slice of bread. You could take this time-saving and easy-to-clean tool anywhere. It would be really cool, for it looked like a light saber(剑).
Hand-Held Copy & Paste Tool Copy & Paste allows you to scan and print images anywhere and on anything. Simply push the button and scan the object, and then the image can be printed on any surface using ink. For the moment, this is only an idea, but when this device is on sale, there will be a long line waiting to buy it.

Let’s suppose it is a common day of 2060.Of course, things have changed and life is very different.
Trips to the moon are being made every day. Taking a holiday on the moon today is as easy as taking a holiday in Europe in the 2010,s. At a number of scenery spots (风景胜地) on the moon, many hotels have been beat. In order that everyone can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the moon, every room has at least one picture window. Everything imaginable is provided for entertainment; of the young and old.
What are people eating now People are still eating food. But many foods now come in pill (药片) form, and the food that goes into the pill comes mainly from green plants.
Because people in the world today are many more than those about fifty years ago, most of the earth’s surface has to be filled. The deserts are irrigated with water and crops are no longer eaten by pets (害虫) The harvest is always good.
Farming, of course, is very highly developed. Very few people have to work on the farm. It is possible to run the farm by just using a few computers.
People are now largely vegetarians, and they eat only bread, vegetables, fruit and so on and they don’t eat meat or fish. You see, as the number of people increases, the number of animals decreases. So people have to be vegetarians. We are healthier both in our bodies and in our minds, and we know how to deal with all kinds of illnesses. No one has to be ill any more.
Such would be our life in 2060.

Kids go to school to learn plenty of subjects. Finally education prepares kids to have a meaningful career (职业) in a field they enjoy. So thinking and learning about career choices before high school is always a good idea. But when should kids begin career education
When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up A teacher A doctor Or a baseball player Preschool-aged children naturally think about their future careers. By imagining, exploring and role-playing, kids are likely to choose careers that interest them. Encouraging this career role-playing is healthy and can be quite telling; kids often clearly prefer either left-brained or right-brained roles.
At some point beyond the role-playing stage, students should be shown to a more serious career education curriculum (课程). You may think that career education isn’t all that necessary until kids finish high school, because that’s when they’re usually expected to get a job or choose a course of study in college. Experts (专家) disagree.
“The influence of early involvement can have a hugely good effect on wider academic (学术的)achievements, helping both children and their families to see a future which is achievable writes Robert Half on, chair of the Education Select Committee in the UK.
Many experts accept the idea that career education should begin at a young age. They suggest career education in school should progress as follows:
Kids in primary school should learn about why people work.
Kids in early middle school should learn about the importance of a career in earning money.
Kids in grades seven through ten should begin to discuss and think about different jobs.
Kids in grades ten and beyond should discover their strengths and interests, recognize suitable careers, and become involved in specific activities to help them understand what they need to work on to do their dream career.
Starting career education early prepares students for the real world by making the connection between what they’re learning in school and why they’re learning it. For example, if a child wants to build tall buildings and knows that math skills are necessary in such a career, the child will be more likely to study, rather than hate, math.
Career education opens kids’ minds to all that is possible. And, at the end of the day, isn’t that what parents and teachers want for their kids and students
38. What can we learn from Paragraph 2
A. Kids feel confident about choosing their careers.
B. It’s natural for kids to change their career choices.
C. Kids do career role-playing to develop their interests.
D. It’s normal for kids to think about their future careers.
39. Experts suggest that career education in school should _______.
A. develop in different grades B. promise kids academic success
C. help kids know their strengths first D. provide kids with rich job experience
40. What does the example of the child who wants to build tall buildings show
A. Math skills are the most important in school education.
B. Career education can help children find out what they want to do.
C. Children who want to build tall buildings are usually good at math.
D. Career education makes children more willing to study for their future jobs.
41. The writer probably agrees that _______.
A. career education should begin earlier for kids
B. kids don’t need to worry about their future careers
C. kids should learn all subjects well for future careers
D. career education in middle school is not a must for kids
D
Recently, researchers have reported on new ways to break down different kinds of plastics. The new studies could lead to easier high-quality (高质量的) recycling, and help deal with toxic (有毒的) plastic pollution.
The world is being covered by plastic, but only about 9% of plastic products are ever recycled. Every year, over 7.72 trillion kilograms of plastic finds its way into the world’s oceans. But bacteria (细菌) may help recycle, even when humans don’t.
Bacteria are small living things--so small that we need a microscope (显微镜) to see them. Bacteria feed themselves in many different ways. Some bacteria can “eat” other things by changing the chemicals (化学物质) in those things into something that will help the bacteria grow.
The secret to this is enzymes (酶). Bacteria use enzymes to cause chemical changes. Enzymes can work like a pair of scissors, cutting and breaking apart other materials.
Most people know PET plastic. It is used in water and soda bottles. About 63.5 billion kilograms of PET plastic is produced every year. Most PET is thrown away, but even when it is recycled, it can’t be made into new bottles. Usually it’s turned into products like carpets (地毯).
In 2012, in the decaying (腐烂的) leaves, scientists discovered an enzyme called
LCC that slowly breaks apart PET plastics. Years later, scientists working at the French company Carbios chose LCC from nearly 100,000 enzymes. It was the best at breaking down PET.
But the scientists wanted to improve LCC. They studied the enzyme and the way it attacked the PET. By testing thousands of small changes to the enzyme, they came up with a new kind of LCC. The new kind can be alive at higher temperatures and can eat through PET very quickly.
The process turns the PET plastic back into the materials that it was made from.
Those materials can then be used again to make new bottles or other products.
The researchers compared their new LCC with the old enzyme, and were satisfied with the results. When the environment was just right, the new LCC was able to break up 90% of the PET in just ten hours. The old enzyme took about 20 hours and only broke up half of the PET.
42. How much PET plastic is produced every year
A. About 7.72 trillion kilograms. B. About 63.5 billion kilograms.
C. About 100 thousand kilograms. D. About 2 hundred kilograms.
43. What do you know about the bacteria from the passage
A. Bacteria can be seen with our eyes.
B. Bacteria can break down other materials directly.
C. Bacteria use enzymes to create physical changes in things.
D. Bacteria are small living things that feed on unusual forms of “food”.
44. According to the passage, what is the relationship between PET plastic and LCC
A. The earliest LCC couldn’t break down PET plastic.
B. LCC can help stop PET plastic from breaking down.
C. PET plastic can now be recycled faster because of a new kind of LCC.
D. The used PET plastic will become another kind of pollution because of LCC.
45. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage
A. Bacteria: Growing by eating chemicals
B. Enzymes: Working like a pair of scissors
C. PET: Being widely to make water and soda bottles
D. LCC: Leading to easier high-quality PET plastic recycling
