home computer, and they will do much more than just turn the fires and lights on and off for you. they will find faulty electrical appliances(用品),plugs or switches, separate them so that they cannot harm anyone, and then warn you that they need repair. they will detect fire and if you are out of the house, the computer will call the firefighters. it will not be too difficult because the locks on the outside doors will be electronic. you will open them using your personal cardthe one you use for shoppingmaybe using a number known only to you.it will be impossible to lose the key, and a

the christians（基督教徒）ever cooked up. for them, the forbidden fruit from eden is evil（邪恶的）.so when columbus brought the tomato back from south america, a land mistakenly considered to be eden, everyone jumped to be the obvious conclusion. wrongly taken as the apple of eden, the tomato was shut out of the door of europeans.what made it particularly terrifying was its similarity to the mandrake(曼德拉草), a plant that was thought to have come from hell （地狱）.what earned the plant its awful reputation was its roots which looked like a dried-up human body occupied by evil spirits. though the tomato and the mandrake were quite different except that both had bright red or yellow fruit, the general population considered them one and the same, too terrible to touch.cautious europeans long ignored the tomato, and until the early 1700s most of the western people continued to drag their feet. in the 1880s, the daughter of a well-known plant expert wrote that the most interesting part of an afternoon tea at her fathers house had been the “introduction this wonderful new fruit-or is it a vegetable?” as late as the twentieth century some writers classed tomatoes with mandrakes as an” evil fruit”.but in the end tomatoes carried the day. the hero of the tomato was an american named robert johnson, and when he was publicly going to eat the tomato in 1820, people journeyed for hundreds of miles to watch him drop dead. “what are you afraid of?” he shouted. “ill show you fools that these things are good to eat!” then he bit into the tomato. some people fainted. but he survived and, according to a local story, set up a tomato-canning factory.12. the tomato was shut out of the door of early europeans mainly because _.a .it made christians evil b. it was the apple of eden c. it came from a forbidden land d. it was religiously unacceptable 13. what can we infer from the underlined part in paragraph 3?a .the process of ignoring the tomato slowed down b .there was little progress in the study of the tomato c .the tomato was still refused in most western countries d .most western people continued to get rid of the tomato 14. what is the main reason for robert johnson to eat the tomato publicly?a. to make himself a hero b. to remove peoples fear of the tomato c .to speed up the popularity of the tomato d .to persuade people to buy products from his factory 15. what is the main purpose of the passage?a .to challenge peoples fixed concepts of the tomato b .to give an explanation to peoples dislike of the tomato c .to present the change of peoples attitudes to the tomato d. to show the process of freeing the tomato from religious influence 第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）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。question: when i feel mad, what do i need to do?16answer: anger has gotten
