Today people can use the phone to talk with others almost anywhere on the earth. But when you use the phone, you don't see the person you are talking with. That may change in the near future.
Today some people are using a kind of telephone called the picture phone or vision phone. With it, two people who are talking can see each other.
Picture phones can be useful when you have something to show the person you're calling. They may have other uses in the future. One day you may be able to ring up a library and ask to see a book. Then you'll be able to read the book right over your picture phone. Or you may be able to go shopping through your picture phone. If you see something in the newspaper that you think you want to buy, you'll go to your phone and call the shop. People at the shop will show you the things you're interested in right over the phone. You'll be able to shop all over town and never even leave your room!

Computers are very important to modern life. Many people think that in the future(未来)computers will be used in lots of everyday life. It is thought that we won’t have to go shopping because we will be able to get most things which are sold in shops on the Internet. There will be no more books because we will be able to get all texts(内容)from computers. The Internet will be used to play games, see films and buy food. Most telephone calls will be made by computers, too.
Some people are glad about those new ways of shopping and communicating(交际). Others do not think that computers will replace(代替) our old ways.
Let’s look at books, for example.Some people think that one day we will not read books made of paper Instead, we will buy and read books using computers. We will read texts on small pocket computers. The computers will keep many different books in them at the same time. We won’t need to turn lots of pages and paper will be saved. Computerized(计算机化)books will be used more and more.
Is Internet shopping such a pleasure as going to the shop Many people say it is not. It is a pleasure to go into shops and look at things you want to buy. It is also unlikely(不大可能) that many people will want to read large texts on our computers.Because paper books will perhaps be more friendly. Maybe computers won’t change these two habits(习惯).
51.In Paragraph(段落)l it is thought people will use computers for_____
A.playing games, shopping and making telephone calls
B.making telephone calls, having meals and seeing films.
