able to do in 2020 is really a challenge. to help, experts have outlined three major mobile trends that they believe will have become reality by then.our phones will be so smart in 10 years time that theyll know everything about our situation and warn us when something needs our attention. this is the top prediction of both nokia and google. they predict that our cars and home appliances will be able to communicate with our mobile. for example, fridges will tell your mobile to tell you to pick up milk on the way back from work. while driving, your mobile will suggest that you take a different route because theres a road accident up ahead. the second trend is in gesture-based controls. people who know the iphones touch - sensitive screen are already familiar with the technology. it translates hand movements into actions on-screen. but gestural communications will make the phone more convenient to use and may completely replace touchpads. according to industry insiders, the most immediate step forward in gestural technology will be in voice recognition. its believed voice recognition technology will speed up communications. it is quicker to speak than type. eventually, phone screens will disappear.the third major development will change our understanding of a mobile phone. from a single phone, the mobile will be developed into multi-part devices. it is opposite to the current trend in which mobile phones are combining the functions of cameras, music players and game consoles（控制台）. the prediction is based on the idea that the world will become more wireless and all these - cameras, music players and game consoles - will be wirelessly connected. mobile phones wont need to contain these devices because users will be able to control them wirelessly through their phones.61. the first paragraph serves as .a. a lead-inb. a conclusionc. a summary d. a supporting fact62. from the text, we can learn that the future mobile phones will . a. drive cars for us b. be controlled by the users voices c. be controlled by home appliances d. be very big together with separated multiple parts 63. the writers attitude towards the development of mobile phone is _. a. worriedb. positivec. concernedd. nervousbchemistry was taught at duke university for many years by professor bonk. one year, two guys took the class and did pretty well on all the quizzes and mid-terms. they each had an a. these two friends were so confident in going into the final that the weekend before finals week, despite the chemistry final being on monday, they decided to go to the university of virginia to party with some friends.they had a great time there. however, with their hangovers (宿醉) and tiredness, they overslept all day sunday and didnt make it back to duke until early monday morning. rather than taking the final then, they found professor bonk after the final and explained to him how they missed the final. they told him they went up to the university of virginia for the weekend and had planned to come back in time to study, but they had a flat tire（轮胎）on the way back and didnt have a spare. so they were late getting back to the university.bonk thought this over and agreed that they could take the final the following day. the two guys, happy and relieved, studied that night and went in the next day at the time that bonk had told them. he placed them in separate rooms and handed each of them a test booklet. he told them to begin.they looked at the first problem which was something simple about solution (溶解). it was worth 5 points. “cool,” they thought, “this is going to be an easy final”. they then turned the page. they were unprepared, however, for what they saw on it. the question contained only two words: (95 points) which tire?64. from the passage we know _. a. the two guys came back to campus late on purpose b. bonk wasnt strict with the two guys c. repairing the flat tire took the two guys a lot of time d. bonk didnt believe the two guys explanation65. after the final, they _. a. may apologize to professor bonk b. must have the same scoresc. wouldnt be confident in their chemistry d. would feel happy and relieved66. from the passage we can get a lesson that _. a. he who makes no mistakes makes nothing b. he who is honest is wisec. one never loses anything by politeness d. think twice before you docthings adults should learn from kids children can teach adults a lot. in other words, there are many things adults can learn from children. for example, kids tend to show love. every action they do for parents, friends, pets, and people they like, is filled with love. they dont think twice before loving, and they just love. so adults can learn this: the best way to receive love is to first give it. unfortunately, most of us have developed the habit of questioning everything. we often try too hard with love, and connect it with weakness. actually, the only way to experience love is to have the smallest expectations, and love your dear ones unconditionally（无条件地）. kids never hide feelings. they cry when they hurt themselves, and express displeasure when things dont go their way. on the contrary, we adults always try to hide our feelings, and never express ourselves sincerely. we often feel happy for others with negative thoughts in our hearts. crying or expressing oneself is what normal people do. never hold back tears or happiness. if you want to cry, cry your eyes out, and if you are happy or pleased about something, dont be afraid to show or share it. kids are curious (好奇的) little beings, who always try to understand their surroundings by completely involving themselves in every task they do. they have a huge appetite for knowledge, and ask lots of questions every day. this curious nature guides their life, and often leads them to simple yet wonderful discoveries. are adults as curious as kids? well, most of us arent. also, they no longer have the thirst for knowledge, and dont even ask questions if they dont understand something. adults often forget that it isnt talent or skill but our curiosity and a huge appetite for knowledge that makes us worthy. kids live in the present, and give 100% to any task they are doing. they never worry about the future, and since they are so busy enjoying their present, life is great today. however, with a job, money, and relationships, it does get hard for an adult to enjoy life. the best thing to do here is to change oneself, and if that isnt possible, we can live like a child. just dont be worried about the future, because it isnt in your control. the only thing you can control is your present, so work hard toward it. as kids treat everyone equally, they make friends soon and also play a lot with them. through playing, they make a lot of astonishing discoveries about their friends and surroundings. they also learn a lot about life, because they are out in the open and are playing with all their hearts. so how long has it been since you played outdoors for fun as an adult? not some serious sporting event or activity, just kicking a ball, running in the park, or any other silly game! playing doesnt mean that you have to achieve a purpose. sometimes, it is healthy to just have some fun.paragraph outlinesmain pointsshow love.l adults should learn to give love first instead of 71
