Fridays BJules Verne was a Frenchman who was born in 1828 and died in 1905. He read a great many scientific books and wrote a number of exciting books about the things which he thought that scientists and inventors would one day be able to do. Years later, many of the things really happened. At that time, however, his stories seemed like fairy tales.Jules Vernes most famous book is 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.（A league is an old word meaning a distance of about three miles）. In those days submarines had not been invented but he described an underwater ship very like a modern one. Many of the things Jules wrote about in his books more than a hundred years ago to look into the future, however, were surprisingly exact. In his book From the Earth to the Moon he wrote at the age of about forty, three men and a dog made a journey around the moon in a hollow ship fired from a gun. After going around the moon, they returned to the earth and splashed down into the sea not far from where the first real moon traveler landed in July, 1969.60.

Some of what Jules described in his books _. A. is almost the same as what happened years later B. is quite different from what happened years later C. never comes true D. seems impossible to the people today62. Many of the things really happened _. A. as soon as Jules books were published B. some years after his books were published C. at that time D. when Jules was in his forties63. The thing Jules described in his book From the Earth to the Moon is _. A. as large as the spaceship today B. similar to the spaceship today C. a gun used to send up a ship D. an underwater shipCPeople often talk as if shyness is a disease or mental condition that can be cured. I prefer to think of it as an emotional disability. Its something we are born with and something we carry with us our entire lives. There are too many people, however, who seem to be determined to find some way of doing away with their shyness. In my opinion, its a waste of time. I dont mean that we should do nothing about it; quite the contrary, I think we need to separate the basic fact of our shyness from our ability to take part in a social environment.Look at one of the most famous shy people of them all, Johnny Carson. This man is painfully shy, yet for decades he made a living talking and associating with (与交往) different people every night, in front of a national audience. Carson has never gotten rid of his shyness, but he has successfully found a way to deal with it to the extent that he could be, not just a talk show host, but a legend (传奇) among talk show hosts. Look also at Sally Fields, who has recently admitted her problem with shyness. This is a woman who has appeared on countless films, TV shows and interviews, yet in her early years she was so shy that she turned down a lunch invitation from Jane Fonda because she was terrified of meeting her.I guess that our shyness is there because each of us is born with some insecurity (不安全感) and this insecurity prevents us from reaching out to others the way people with a more open personality do. Therefore, as we grow up and become adults, we havent allowed our social skills to grow and develop. We are still stuck in kindergarten or elementary school or wherever it was that our shyness first took root in our soul.64. In the authors view, shyness can be explained as _. A. a disease that can be easily cured B. a not very normal mental condition C. an emotional disability D. something we pick up after birth65. In the eyes of the author, its a waste of time to _. A. develop a healthy personality B. talk with as many people as possible C. study where shyness comes from D. look for ways to do away with ones shyness66. Which of the following is TRUE about Johnny Carson? A. He dared to speak in front of a national audience. B. He had done away with his shyness carefully. C. He was described as a hero in some legend books. D. He failed to become a good talk show host.67. The author thinks that our shyness is there because _. A. we are not open enough B. we dont feel safe at heart C. we try to reach out to others all the time D. we lack certain social skillsDWhat will man be like in the future in 5,000 or even 50,000 years from now? We can only make a guess, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today. For man is slowly changing all the time.Let us take an obvious example. Man, even 500 years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. 500 years is a relatively short period of time, so we may assume (设想) 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 brains capacity. As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more and eventually we shall need large ones! This is likely to bring about a physical change too: 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 a very long period of time it is likely that mans 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 (秃的)!Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be 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 us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.68. According to the passage, future man will be _. A. changing fast B. changing slowly C. the same as us D. totally different from us69. Future man is likely to be different from us in _. A. almost every way B. only two ways C. a great many ways D. one or two ways70. Future mans hair will _. A. grow darker B. stop growing completely C. fall out more often D. get longer71. From the passage, we can conclude that future man will _. A. have a larger forehead and weaker eyes B. have thoughts and emotions similar to ours C. need glasses to see better D. be bald and attractiveEBelow is a menu you might find in an American restaurant.
