I'm
an
American
Italian.
My
parents
married
two
months
after
they
met.
Before
long
they
moved
to
America,
for
they
thought
it
is
a
land
of
opportunity.
When
I
was
young,
I
always
blamed
my
family
because
they
could
not
raise
me
in
a
normal
family.
In
my
family,
English
was
hardly
spoken.
But
in
the
school,
I
had
to
communicate
with
my
classmates
and
teachers
in
English.
I
studied
very
hard,
but
I
couldn't
reach
what
I
expected.
Now
when
I
take
a
step
back
and
look
at
my
family,
I
really
feel
proud
and
thankful.
I
can
speak
two
languages.
And
how
many
people
can
do
like
me
in
the
world
I
want
to
be
a
bridge
between
different
cultures.

live

blame
his

with
him.

school
because
his
family
was
poor.

was
hardly
spoken
in
his
family.

第二部分：阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)
第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
In
the
future
your
automobile
will
run
on
water
instead
of
gas！You
will
be
able
to
buy
a
supercomputer
that
fits
in
your
pocket！You
might
even
drive
a
flying
car!
Not
all
past
predictions
(预言)
have
been
proven
wrong.A
few
of
them
have
been
surprisingly
accurate.Some
great
thinkers
predicted
the
arrival
of
the
credit
card,
the
fax
machine
and
even
the
Internet
—
years
before
they
happened.But
for
each
prediction
that
has
come
true,
some
others
have
missed
by
a
mile.Many
of
these
predictions
didn't
consider
how
people
would
want
to
use
the
technology
or
whether
people
really
needed
these
high tech
(高科技的)
things
in
their
lives
or
not.Let's
look
at
some
predictions
from
the
not too distant
past.
Robot
helpers
Where's
the
robot
in
my
kitchen？Nowhere,
of
course.And
he's
probably
not
coming
anytime
soon.Robots
do
exist
today,
but
mostly
in
factories
and
other
working
environments.
Back
in
the
1950s,
however,
people
said
that
by
now
personal
robots
would
be
in
most
people's
homes.
So
why
hasn't
it
happened？Maybe
because
robots
are
still
too
expensive
and
clumsy
(笨拙的)．And
probably
the
idea
of
robots
cooking
our
dinners
and
washing
our
clothes
is
just
too
strange.At
home
we
seem
to
be
doing
fine
without
them.
Telephones
of
tomorrow
In
1964
an
American
company
introduced
the
video
telephone.They
said
by
the
year
2000
most
people
would
have
a
video
phone
in
their
homes.But
of
course
the
idea
hasn't
caught_on
yet.
Why？The
technology
worked
fine,
but
it
overlooked
something
obvious：people
desire
for
privacy.Would
you
want
to
have
a
video
phone
conversation
with
someone
after
you
just
stepped
out
of
the
shower？Probably
not
—
it
could
be
uncomfortable！Just
because
technology
doesn't
always
mean
people
will
want
to
use
it.
And
finally,
how
about
that
crazy
prediction
of
the
flying
car？It's
not
so
crazy
any
more！But
a
flying
car
remains
one
of
the
most
wonderful
technology
ideas
to
catch
our
imagination.Keep
watching
the
news
—
or
perhaps
the
sky
outside
your
window
—
to
see
what
the
future
will
bring.
21．According
to
the
passage,
which
of
the
following
statements
is
NOT
true
A．Technology
doesn't
always
mean
people
want
to
use
it.
B．Predictions
don't
need
to
consider
people's
practical
use
of
the
technology.
C．Many
of
the
high tech
things
people
thought
we'd
be
using
by
now
simply
never
appeared.
D．High tech
things
are
not
always
convenient
to
people's
life.
解析：选B 细节理解题。由第二段第四、五两句可知，不考虑人们实际需要的预言难以实现，故B项表述错误。
22．The
underlined
phrase
“caught
on”
in
Paragraph
6
probably
means
“________”．
A．became
popular
B．became
enjoyable
C．came
into
sight
D．came
to
life
解析：选A 词义猜测题。上文介绍，过去一家美国公司预言在公元2000年大部分家庭将会使用可视电话；下一段解释了这个预言没能实现或者可视电话没有普及的原因。由此可知，catch
on的意思为“变得流行；普及”。
23．What
does
the
author
think
of
the
flying
car
A．It
is
too
difficult
to
imagine.
B．It
is
too
crazy
to
realise.
C．It
is
likely
to
appear
in
the
future.
D．It
has
been
the
focus
of
the
news.
解析：选C 推理判断题。由最后一段可知，作者认为，“会飞的车”的想法不再疯狂，而且将来有一天会实现，故C项为正确答案。
24．The
passage
mainly
deals
with
________.
A．predictions
that
catch
our
imagination
B．predictions
that
haven't
come
true
C．new
technology
that
can
benefit
our
life
D．new
technology
that
is
in
wide
use
解析：选B 主旨大意题。本文介绍了几个没有实现的预言，故B项正确。
B
Someone
has
put
forward
a
dream
home
which
is
so
advanced
that
its
kitchen
can
suggest
what
to
make
with
certain
things.
Also,
a
Microsoft
home
doesn't
just
warn
you
when
you're
out
of
milk
—
it
can
send
for
a
fresh
gallon.
But
are
these
innovations
(创新)
just
magic,
or
are
they
really
coming
soon
to
a
neighborhood
near
you
To
find
out,
US
News
asked
some
experts
to
get
their
opinions
about
the
home
of
the
not so distant
future.
Here's
a
look
at
the
innovations.
The
housing
boom
(迅速发展)
was
marked
by
mass produced
buildings
filled
with
units
which
look
the
same.
The
coming
years,
however,
will
give
way
to
a
personalized
(个性化的)
approach
to
home
construction,
with
houses
as
more
of
an
instrument
of
self expression.
“The
successful
builders
will
be
the
ones
that
figure
out
how
to
change
their
production
model
enough
to
make
the
buyers
feel
like
they
are
really
getting
something
that
is
designed
for
them,
not
just
a
model，”
says
Kermit
Baker,
the
chief
economist
at
the
American
Institute
of
Architects.
Future
homes
will
probably
shrink.“We
will
be
building
smaller
but
smarter
houses，”
says
Ed
McMahon,
a
senior
resident
fellow
at
the
Urban
Land
Institute.
“Instead
of
having
a
room
for
just
one
use,
consumers
will
demand
homes
that
make
better
use
of
space，”
says
Susanka,
whose
best selling
book,
The
Not
So
Big
House，has
become
increasingly
influential
in
home
design.
Seldom used
quarters,
such
as
dining
and
living
rooms,
will
be
replaced
with
space
that
can
serve
both
functions.
“The
goal
of
this
‘right size’
home
is
to
fit
its
owners
like
a
specially
cut
suit
rather
than
a
jacket
you
buy
in
a
store，”
says
Susanka.
25．Why
does
the
writer
mention
a
dream
home
and
a
Microsoft
home
A．To
tell
us
something
about
future
houses.
B．To
tell
us
that
technology
develops
fast.
C．To
tell
us
what
kind
of
house
to
buy.
D．To
lead
to
the
topic
of
the
passage.
解析：选D 作者意图题。本文主要是关于专家对未来的房子的设想，第一段提到那两种房子的构想只是为了引出下文，故选D项。
26．According
to
the
third
paragraph,
future
houses
will
________.
A．be
mass produced
B．have
a
lot
of
things
in
common
C．express
the
owners'
personalities
D．be
designed
by
the
owners
themselves
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据第三段的“...
will
give
way
to
a
personalized
approach
to
home
construction,
with
house
as
more
of
an
instrument
of
self expression.”可知未来的房子能展示房子主人的个性，故选C项。
27．The
underlined
word
“shrink”
in
the
last
paragraph
can
be
replaced
by
“________”．
A．become
cleaner
B．become
smaller
C．become
brighter
D．become
more
comfortable
解析：选B 词义猜测题。根据后文的描述可知未来的房子在面积上会变小，故选B项。
28．What

passage
mainly
about
A．Some
experts'
opinions
about
future
houses.
B．The
writer's
ideas
about
future
houses.

life
in
the

Increasing
numbers
of
Taiwanese
students
are
joining
the
island's
“China
rush”，
seeking
education
on
the
Chinese
mainland.
According
to
official
Chinese
figures,
the
number
of
Taiwanese
students
admitted
into
college
and
postgraduate(研究生)
programs
on
the
mainland
totaled
461
in
1996,
928
in
1997
and
839
in
1998.Although
no
latest
official
numbers
were
available,
Netbig.
Com
said
this
number
had
risen
between
30
to
50
percent
annually
in
the
past
two
years
with
well
over
1,000
entering
mainland
campuses
last
year.
The
Internet
site,
based
in
the
Chinese
city
of
Shenzhen,
provides
education
service
and
information
on
Chinese
mainland
college
and
universities.
Many
Taiwanese
believe
a
Chinese
education
giving
more
knowledge
about
the
people
and
culture
in
the
mainland
will
increase
their
chances
in
the
Chinese
job
market,
Netbig.
Com
vice president
Ingrid
Huang
said.“I
believe
it
will
give
me
hands on
experience
in
the
business
field
in
the
Chinese
mainland
and
a
better
understanding
of
the
Chinese
mainland
people，”
said
Lydia
Chang,
a
19 year old

at

said
he
would

since
“there
will
be
better

now
that
more
Taiwanese

“They
hope
the

build
up

which
could

A．Netbig.
Com
B．a

________.
A．more

is
TRUE
according
to
the
passage
A．Chinese

D
A
few
years
ago
I
had
an
“aha”
moment
regarding
handwriting.
I
had
in
my
hand
a
sheet
of
paper
with
handwritten
instructions
on
it
for
some
sort
of
editorial
task.
It
occurred
at
first
that
I
did
not
recognize
the
handwriting,
and
then
I
realized
whose
it
must
be.
I
finally
became
aware
of
the
fact
that
I
had
been
working
with
this
colleague
for
at
least
a
year,
maybe
two,
and
yet
I
did
not
recognize
her
handwriting
at
that
point.
It
was
a
very
important
event
in
the
computerization
of
life
—
a
sign
that
the
informal,
friendly
communication
of
people
working
together
in
an
office
had
changed
from
notes
in
pen
to
instant
messages
and
e mails.
There
was
a
time
when
our
workdays
were
filled
with
little
letters,
and
we
recognized
one
another's
handwriting
the
way
we
knew
voices
or
faces.
As
a
child
visiting
my
father's
office,
I
was
pleased
to
recognize,
in
little
notes
on
the
desks
of
his
staff,
the
same
handwriting
I
would
see
at
home
in
the
notes
he
would
leave
on
the
fridge
—
except
that
those
notes
were
signed
“dad”
instead
of
“RFW”．
All
this
has
been
on
my
mind
because
of
the
talk
about
The
Rise
and
Fall
of
Handwriting,
a
book
by
Florey.
She
shows
in
her
book
a
deep
concern
about
the
fall
of
handwriting
and
the
failure
of
schools
to
teach
children
to
write
well,
but
many
others
argue
that
people
in
a
digital
age
can't
be
expected
to
learn
to
hold
a
pen.
I
don't
buy
it.
I
don't
want
to
see
anyone
cut
off
from
the
expressive,
personal
associations
that
a
pen
still
promotes
better
than
a
digital
keyboard
does.
For
many
a
biographer,
part
of
really
getting
to
know
their
subjects
is
learning
to
read
their
handwriting.
What
some
people
advocate
is
teaching
one
of
the
many
attractive
handwritings
based
on
the
handwriting
of
16th
century
Italy.
That
may
sound
impossibly
grand
—
as
if
they
want
kids
to
learn
to
draw
by
copying
classical
paintings.
However,
they
have
worked
in
many
school
systems.
语篇解读：由于一次无法辨认同事字迹的经历，作者意识到了电脑技术对传统的亲笔书写方式的冲击，不过作者希望书法能够得到保存。
33．Why
was
the
author
surprised
at
not
recognizing
his
colleague's
handwriting
A．He
had
worked
with
his
colleague
long
enough.
B．His
colleague's
handwriting
was
so
beautiful.
C．His
colleague's
handwriting
was
so
terrible.
D．He
still
had
a
lot
of
work
to
do.
解析：选A 细节理解题。从第二段“I
had
been
working
with
this
colleague
for
at
least
a
year
...”可知，使作者吃惊的原因是他与一位同事共事一年之久竟认不出他的笔迹。
34．The
author's
father
wrote
notes
in
pen
________.
A．to
both
his
family
and
his
staff
B．to
his
family
in
small
letters
C．to
his
family
on
the
fridge
D．to
his
staff
on
the
desk
解析：选A 细节理解题。从第四段“...
the
same
handwriting
I
would
see
...”可知作者的父亲曾写便条给员工以及家人。
35．According
to
the
author,
handwritten
notes
________.
A．are
harder
to
teach
in
schools
B．attract
more
attention
C．are
used
only
between
friends
D．carry
more
message
解析：选D 推理判断题。从倒数第二段第二句可知：对于一些撰写传记的作家来说，真正了解自己的写作对象，部分要依赖于阅读他们(被写传记者)的亲手笔迹。所以我们可以推断笔迹承载了很多的个人信息。

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
__36__，
fewer
and
fewer
people
will
buy
books
and
newspapers.
Why
read
an
article
in
the
newspaper,
when
the
TV
news
can
bring
you
the
information
in
a
few
minutes
and
with
pictures
Why
read
the
life
story
of
a
famous
man,
when
a
short
television
program
can
tell
you
all
that
you
want
to
know
__37__.
Today,
newspapers
sell
in
very
large
numbers.
And
books
of
every
kind
are
sold
more
than

__38__.
Although
some
books
with
hard
covers
are
expensive,
many
books
are
printed
today
as
paperbooks
(平装本),
which
are
quite
cheap.
A
paperback
collection
of
short
stories,
for
example,
is
always
cheaper
than
an
evening
at
the
cinema
or
the
theater,
__39__.
Books
are
a
wonderful
provider
of
knowledge
and
pleasure
and
some
types
of
books
should
be
in
every
home.
__40__.
A
good
encyclopedia
(百科全书),
though
expensive,
is
useful,
too,
because
you
can
find
information
on
any
subject.
Besides,
you
can
have
such
books
as
history
books,
science
textbooks,
cookbooks,
and
collections
of
stories
and
poems.
Then
from
time
to
time
you
can
take
a
book
of
poems
off
your
shelves
and
read
the
thoughts
and
feelings
of
your
favourite
poets.
A．Television
has
not
killed
reading,
however
B．Some
people
think
that
as
more
and
more
people
have
televisions
in
their
homes
C．Every
home
should
have
a
good
dictionary
D．Books
are
still
a
cheap
way
to
get
information
and
enjoyment
E．and
you
can
keep
a
book
forever
and
read
it
many
times
F．Fewer
and
fewer
people
will
buy
books
G．TV

to
them
that
it
could
be
turned
__49__
or
stopped,
they
quickly
realized
that
it
was
a

During

I
traveled
by
air
the
first
time
in
my
life.
I
generally
travel
by
train
and
bus.
It
is
both
cheaper
and
safe.
But
this
was
a
short
journey.
In
the
beginning
I
did
not
feel
very
happily,
but
this
feeling
did
not
last
longer.
The
journey
was
very
exciting.
I
was
soon
high
up
in
the
sky
among
the
cloud.
The
views
of
mountains,
fields
and
rivers
were
interested.
I
enjoy
my
short

comfortable
journey
very
much.
This

has
shown
that
traveling

is
actually

Not
all
past
predictions
(预言)
have
been
proven
wrong.A
few
of
them
have
been
surprisingly
accurate.Some
great
thinkers
predicted
the
arrival
of
the
credit
card,
the
fax
machine
and
even
the
Internet
—
years
before
they
happened.But
for
each
prediction
that
has
come
true,
some
others
have
missed
by
a
mile.Many
of
these
predictions
didn't
consider
how
people
would
want
to
use
the
technology
or
whether
people
really
needed
these
high tech
(高科技的)
things
in
their
lives
or
not.Let's
look
at
some
predictions
from
the
not too distant
past.
Robot
helpers
Where's
the
robot
in
my
kitchen？Nowhere,
of
course.And
he's
probably
not
coming
anytime
soon.Robots
do
exist
today,
but
mostly
in
factories
and
other
working
environments.
Back
in
the
1950s,
however,
people
said
that
by
now
personal
robots
would
be
in
most
people's
homes.
So
why
hasn't
it
happened？Maybe
because
robots
are
still
too
expensive
and
clumsy
(笨拙的)．And
probably
the
idea
of
robots
cooking
our
dinners
and
washing
our
clothes
is
just
too
strange.At
home
we
seem
to
be
doing
fine
without
them.
Telephones
of
tomorrow
In
1964
an
American
company
introduced
the
video
telephone.They
said
by
the
year
2000
most
people
would
have
a
video
phone
in
their
homes.But
of
course
the
idea
hasn't
caught_on
yet.
Why？The
technology
worked
fine,
but
it
overlooked
something
obvious：people
desire
for
privacy.Would
you
want
to
have
a
video
phone
conversation
with
someone
after
you
just
stepped
out
of
the
shower？Probably
not
—
it
could
be
uncomfortable！Just
because
technology
doesn't
always
mean
people
will
want
to
use
it.
And
finally,
how
about
that
crazy
prediction
of
the
flying
car？It's
not
so
crazy
any
more！But
a
flying
car
remains
one
of
the
most
wonderful
technology
ideas
to
catch
our
imagination.Keep
watching
the
news
—
or
perhaps
the
sky
outside
your
window
—
to
see
what
the
future
will
bring.
21．According
to
the
passage,
which
of
the
following
statements
is
NOT
true
A．Technology
doesn't
always
mean
people
want
to
use
it.
B．Predictions
don't
need
to
consider
people's
practical
use
of
the
technology.
C．Many
of
the
high tech
things
people
thought
we'd
be
using
by
now
simply
never
appeared.
D．High tech
things
are
not
always
convenient
to
people's
life.
22．The
underlined
phrase
“caught
on”
in
Paragraph
6
probably
means
“________”．
A．became
popular
B．became
enjoyable
C．came
into
sight
D．came
to
life
23．What
does
the
author
think
of
the
flying
car
A．It
is
too
difficult
to
imagine.
B．It
is
too
crazy
to
realise.
C．It
is
likely
to
appear
in
the
future.
D．It
has
been
the
focus
of
the
news.
24．The
passage
mainly
deals
with
________.
A．predictions
that
catch
our
imagination
B．predictions
that
haven't
come
true
C．new
technology
that
can
benefit
our
life
D．new
technology
that
is
in
wide
use
B
Someone
has
put
forward
a
dream
home
which
is
so
advanced
that
its
kitchen
can
suggest
what
to
make
with
certain
things.
Also,
a
Microsoft
home
doesn't
just
warn
you
when
you're
out
of
milk
—
it
can
send
for
a
fresh
gallon.
But
are
these
innovations
(创新)
just
magic,
or
are
they
really
coming
soon
to
a
neighborhood
near
you
To
find
out,
US
News
asked
some
experts
to
get
their
opinions
about
the
home
of
the
not so distant
future.
Here's
a
look
at
the
innovations.
The
housing
boom
(迅速发展)
was
marked
by
mass produced
buildings
filled
with
units
which
look
the
same.
The
coming
years,
however,
will
give
way
to
a
personalized
(个性化的)
approach
to
home
construction,
with
houses
as
more
of
an
instrument
of
self expression.
“The
successful
builders
will
be
the
ones
that
figure
out
how
to
change
their
production
model
enough
to
make
the
buyers
feel
like
they
are
really
getting
something
that
is
designed
for
them,
not
just
a
model，”
says
Kermit
Baker,
the
chief
economist
at
the
American
Institute
of
Architects.
Future
homes
will
probably
shrink.“We
will
be
building
smaller
but
smarter
houses，”
says
Ed
McMahon,
a
senior
resident
fellow
at
the
Urban
Land
Institute.
“Instead
of
having
a
room
for
just
one
use,
consumers
will
demand
homes
that
make
better
use
of
space，”
says
Susanka,
whose
best selling
book,
The
Not
So
Big
House，has
become
increasingly
influential
in
home
design.
Seldom used
quarters,
such
as
dining
and
living
rooms,
will
be
replaced
with
space
that
can
serve
both
functions.
“The
goal
of
this
‘right size’
home
is
to
fit
its
owners
like
a
specially
cut
suit
rather
than
a
jacket
you
buy
in
a
store，”
says
Susanka.
25．Why
does
the
writer
mention
a
dream
home
and
a
Microsoft
home
A．To
tell
us
something
about
future
houses.
B．To
tell
us
that
technology
develops
fast.
C．To
tell
us
what
kind
of
house
to
buy.
D．To
lead
to
the
topic
of
the
passage.
26．According
to
the
third
paragraph,
future
houses
will
________.
A．be
mass produced
B．have
a
lot
of
things
in
common
C．express
the
owners'
personalities
D．be
designed
by
the
owners
themselves
27．The
underlined
word
“shrink”
in
the
last
paragraph
can
be
replaced
by
“________”．
A．become
cleaner
B．become
smaller
C．become
brighter
D．become
more
comfortable
28．What
is
this
passage
mainly
about
A．Some
experts'
opinions
about
future
houses.
B．The
writer's
ideas
about
future
houses.
C．What
life
in
the
future
will

Taipei
—
Increasing
numbers
of
Taiwanese
students
are
joining
the
island's
“China
rush”，
seeking
education
on
the
Chinese
mainland.
According
to
official
Chinese
figures,
the
number
of
Taiwanese
students
admitted
into
college
and
postgraduate(研究生)
programs
on
the
mainland
totaled
461
in
1996,
928
in
1997
and
839
in
1998.Although
no
latest
official
numbers
were
available,
Netbig.
Com
said
this
number
had
risen
between
30
to
50
percent
annually
in
the
past
two
years
with
well
over
1,000
entering
mainland
campuses
last
year.
The
Internet
site,
based
in
the
Chinese
city
of
Shenzhen,
provides
education
service
and
information
on
Chinese
mainland
college
and
universities.
Many
Taiwanese
believe
a
Chinese
education
giving
more
knowledge
about
the
people
and
culture
in
the
mainland
will
increase
their
chances
in

Chinese

National
Taiwan

he
would
like
to
study
law
on

since
“there

prospects
now
that
more
Taiwanese

A
few
years
ago
I
had
an
“aha”
moment
regarding
handwriting.
I
had
in
my
hand
a
sheet
of
paper
with
handwritten
instructions
on
it
for
some
sort
of
editorial
task.
It
occurred
at
first
that
I
did
not
recognize
the
handwriting,
and
then
I
realized
whose
it
must
be.
I
finally
became
aware
of
the
fact
that
I
had
been
working
with
this
colleague
for
at
least
a
year,
maybe
two,
and
yet
I
did
not
recognize
her
handwriting
at
that
point.
It
was
a
very
important
event
in
the
computerization
of
life
—
a
sign
that
the
informal,
friendly
communication
of
people
working
together
in
an
office
had
changed
from
notes
in
pen
to
instant
messages
and
e mails.
There
was
a
time
when
our
workdays
were
filled
with
little
letters,
and
we
recognized
one
another's
handwriting
the
way
we
knew
voices
or
faces.
As
a
child
visiting
my
father's
office,
I
was
pleased
to
recognize,
in
little
notes
on
the
desks
of
his
staff,
the
same
handwriting
I
would
see
at
home
in
the
notes
he
would
leave
on
the
fridge
—
except
that
those
notes
were
signed
“dad”
instead
of
“RFW”．
All
this
has
been
on
my
mind
because
of
the
talk
about
The
Rise
and
Fall
of
Handwriting,
a
book
by
Florey.
She
shows
in
her
book
a
deep
concern
about
the
fall
of
handwriting
and
the
failure
of
schools
to
teach
children
to
write
well,
but
many
others
argue
that
people
in
a
digital
age
can't
be
expected
to
learn
to
hold
a
pen.
I
don't
buy
it.
I
don't
want
to
see
anyone
cut
off
from
the
expressive,
personal
associations
that
a
pen
still
promotes
better
than
a
digital
keyboard
does.
For
many
a
biographer,
part
of
really
getting
to
know
their
subjects
is
learning
to
read
their
handwriting.
What
some
people
advocate
is
teaching
one
of
the
many
attractive
handwritings
based
on
the
handwriting
of
16th
century
Italy.
That
may
sound
impossibly
grand
—
as
if
they
want
kids
to
learn
to
draw
by
copying
classical
paintings.
However,
they
have
worked
in
many
school
systems.

As
science
developed
rapidly
in
the
direction
of
technology,
it
supplies
man
a
better
and
more
comfortable
__41__.
Men
will
be
working
shorter
and
shorter
hours,
__42__
housewives
will
also
be
able
to
have
more
free
time.
Can
you
__43__
doing
housework
without
a
housewife
Scientists
believe
this
will
__44__
into
realities
in
not
very
long
time,
and
perhaps
during
your
lifetime
house robots
will
take
__45__
of
housewives.
When
I
__46__
this
kind
of
machine
with
some
housewives,
90
percent
of
them
replied
__47__，
“How
soon
can
I
buy
one？”
The
other
10
percent
said,
“I
would
be
terrified
to
see
it__48__
about
my
house.”
But
when
I
explained
to
them
that
it
could
be
turned
__49__
or
stopped,
they
quickly
realized
that
it
was
a
__50__
object.
In
my
own
__51__
we
have
found
that
the
washing up
machine
is
regarded
as
a
good
__52__
in
the
room.
There's
no
greater
__53__
than
to
go
to
bed
in
the
evening
and
__54__
that
the
washing up
is
being
done
downstairs
after
we
are
__55__.
Some
families
would
__56__
to
have
their
robot
slaves
__57__
all
the
downstairs
housework
after
they
were
in
__58__
at
night,
while
others
would
have
it
__59__
in
the
mornings.
But
this
would
be
entirely
a
matter
of
__60__.

Just
up
the
road
from
my
home
is
a
field,
with
two
horses
in
it.
From
a
distance,
each
horse
looks
like
any
other
horse.
But
if
you
get
a
__61__
(close)
look
you
will
notice
one
of
them
is
blind.
Instead
of
abandoning
him,
his
owner
has
made
him
a
safe
and
comfortable
barn
to
live
in.
And
if
you
stand
nearby
and
listen,
you
will
hear
the
sound
of
a
bell
__62__
(come)
from
__63__
smaller
horse.
Attached
to
__64__
(it)
halter
is
a
small,
copper colored
bell
assisting
the
blind
friend
to
follow
him.
__65__
you
watch
them,
you'll
find
the
horse
with
the
bell
always
checking
on
the
blind
one,
and
that
the
blind
horse
will
listen
for
the
bell
and
then
slowly
walk
to
__66__
the
other
one
is,
trusting
he
will
not
__67__
(lead)
astray.
When
the
horse
with
the
bell
returns
to
the
barn
each
evening,
he
will
stop
__68__
(frequent)
to
look
back,
making
sure
that
the
other
isn't
too
far
behind
__69__
(hear)the
bell.
Life
does
not
throw
us
away
just
because
we
are
not
perfect
or
because
we
have
problems
or
challenges.
Sometimes
we
are
the
blind
horse
being
guided
by
the
little
ringing
bell
of
our
acquaintances;
__70__
other
times
we
are
the
guide
horse,
who
helps
others
to
find
their
way.

During
the
weekend
I
traveled
by
air
the
first
time
in
my
life.
I
generally
travel
by
train
and
bus.
It
is
both
cheaper
and
safe.
But
this
was
a
short
journey.
In
the
beginning
I
did
not
feel
very
happily,
but
this
feeling
did
not
last
longer.
The
journey
was
very
exciting.
I
was
soon
high
up
in
the
sky
among
the
cloud.
The
views
of
mountains,
fields
and
rivers
were
interested.
I
enjoy
my
short
and
comfortable
journey
very
much.
This
experience
has
shown
that
traveling
in
air
is
actually
the
safest
way
of
make
journeys.
