relationship. in the year 2050, we will use computers almost every day, we will be making new friends through the internet- even our husbands or wives will be met in this way. it will be much faster and easier for us. on the other hand, our relationships with people wont be as important as they are today- we will feel a little lonely.computers will also help us in many other activities in 2050. for example, they will be used by the children at school to make their learning easier. in addition, there will be more other machines which will play a similar role as computers, like robots which will do the housework for us.spending holidays will also be completely different. traveling to other planets or to the moon will be available for everyone. means of transport will, of course, change, too. we will be using solar-powered cars, which will be much environmentally friendly.we could expect that the faster economic development would lead to a more polluted environment. but it isnt true. we will pay more attention to protecting the environment. scientists will probably find cures for many dangerous diseases, like cancer or aids. therefore, our surroundings as well as health will be in better condition.although we cannot predict the exact changes which will be made in the world, we often think about them. we worry about our and our childrens future; we have expectation, hopes as well as fears. but i think we should be rather sanguine about our future. we should be happy and believe good things will happen. 51. the underlined word “sanguine” in the last paragraph most probably

robots will help people a lot. d. how people will use computer to communicate with each other.54. what does the passage mainly talk about? a. what high technology will appear in the year 2050. b. what

luggage, only the clothes they were wearing.once they settled in, my father looked back over his shoulder and asked the children if santa had found them yet. three glum faces mutely gave him his answer.well, i didnt think so, my father said, winking at my mother, because when i saw santa this morning, he told me that he was having trouble finding all, and he asked me if he could leave your toys at my house. well just go get them before i take you to the bus stop.all at once, the three childrens faces lit up, and they began to bounce around in the back seat, laughing and chattering.when we got out of the car at our house, the three children ran through the front door and straight to the toys that were spread out under our christmas tree. that was the christmas when my sisters and i learned the joy of making others happy.when they left, my father reached into his pocket and pulled out two dollars, which was all he had left. he pressed the money into the mans hand. the man tried to give it back, but my father insisted. “take it. ive been broke before, and i know what its like when you cant feed your family. we left them there at the bus stop in winborn. as we drove away, i
