be different from what he is today For man is slowly changing all the time Let us take an obvious example Man even five hundred years ago was shorter than he is today Now on average men are about three inches taller Five hundred years is relatively short period of time so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller Again in the modern world we use our brains a great deal Even so we still make use of only about 20 of the brain s capacity As time goes on however we shall have to use our brains more and more and eventually we shall need larger ones This is likely to bring about a physical change to the head in particular the forehead will grow larger Nowadays our eyes are in constant use In fact we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses But over very long period of time it is likely that man s eyes will grow stronger On the other hand we tend to make less use of our arms and legs These as a result are likely to grow weaker At the same time however our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life But what about hair This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer In the future then both sexes are likely to be bald Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at This may well be true All the same in spite of all these changes future man will still have a lot in common with use He will still be a human being with thoughts and emotions similar to our own 36 The passage mainly tells us that A man s life will be different in the future B future man will look quite different from us C man is growing taller and uglier as time passes D man s organs functions will be one the wane 37 What serves as the evidence that man is changing A Man has got stronger eyes now than he ever had B Man s hair is getting thinner and thinner C Man s arms and legs have become lighter and weaker D Man has been growing taller over the past 500 years 38 The change in man s size of forehead is probably because A he makes use only 20 of the brain s capacity B his brain has grown larger over the past centuries C the other 80 of his brain will grow in due time D he will use his brain more and more as time goes on 39 What is true about a human being in the future A He is hairless because hair is no longer useful B He has smaller eyes and wears better glasses C His fingers grow weaker because he doesn t have to make use of them D He thinks and feels in different way 40 It is implied that 精品文档 4欢迎下载 A human beings will become less attractive in the future B less use of a bodily organ may lead to its degeneration C human beings hope for a change in the future life D future life is always predictable B With the steady increase in the amount of leisure time that people enjoy today the importance of businesses that deal with leisure products and

industry obviously devoted to leisure is entertainment Movies TV shows concerts and plays are usually intended for our leisure The same can be said of most books except textbooks Professional sports make money because people pay to watch them in their free time This list could be greatly extended But even among these industries we have mentioned only part of the picture The people who make the TV

even successfully built their own houses These jobs have been made easier today by the introduction of prepared materials which require the minimum amount of skill to use In every high street through out Britain nowadays there is at least one Do it Yourself shop containing a vast range of timber tiles paints wallpapers and floor coverings besides tools of every description including power drills and many accessories Do it Yourself is a booming business all these shops do a roaring trade and look like continuing to do so Probably the main reason for the craze is the high cost of present day
