People have always wanted to know what the future will look like. Then, how can we know what the future will look like?1.The world has changed a lot in the past 150 years, but we humans are driven by the same basic needs as we were 150 years ago, such as food, sleep, the feeling of being appreciated and loved.
2.No. In addition, generally speaking, the inventions for the last 150 years have been a human effort for freedom and communication, to be able to get in control of the time and world. Since there is still much to do in this area, this will be the focus at least for the next 150 years.
But why do we need to predict the future? Predicting the future is important for two reasons: first we need to start to think about what kind of future we’d like for ourselves and to pass on the next generation.3.
How about the virtual worlds? It might be possible in the future to experience the sand between your toes, and hear the waves, just lying in your bed at home.4.So, even if a great invention is there for an affordable price, it'll never take the place of the common experience if it's not real.
5.What we'll see in the next 50 years is the transition from an oil-dependent society to a new society. Here there'll be new medicine, continued exploration of space, challenges in the climate change, and new inventions that make life a little easier.
A. So what will the future look like then?
B. Will this change in the next 150 years?
C. Predicting the future can help us in many ways.
D. However, you'll never get the feeling of being there.
E. Well, to understand the future, you must know the past.
F. However, no matter how real the experience will feel, it doesn't happen for real.
G. Then we need to know what decisions we need to make today that will give the best result in the future.
We are enrolled in the full-time school called “life”. Every day in this school, we have opportunities to learn new lessons. No matter whether we like these lessons or not, we have to take them, because they are our lessons.
Why are we here in this world? What is the purpose of life? Humans have tried to discover the meaning of life for thousands of years, but failed to get the answer, because the meaning of life is different from person to person.
Each one of us has his or her special purpose and path, unique and different. As we travel on our life path, we will learn many great lessons in order to fulfill that purpose. Learning our lessons well is the key to discovering the real meaning of our own life.
As we travel through our lifetime, we may be taught hard lessons that others don't have to face, while others spend years struggling with problems we don’t need to deal with. We may never know why we love English, not physics, which indicates that our path is different. While traveling on our own path, sometimes alone, we should, first of all, take a basic lesson in openness.
Openness means being receptive. Life will present us with so many lessons, none of which are useful to us unless we can recognize them and are open to their values. These lessons arc not easy to learn, but we should regard them as gifts. But how can we recognize these lessons? It is a matter of what “glasses” we are wearing at the time. It is not difficult to spot them if we take them as opportunities. So when we are not open to learning our lessons, failing a weekly English test might be like a disaster rather than an opportunity to us. Of course, the hard lessons may not be fun, but they can actually be the biggest gifts we receive from life.
1.The author may be in favor of the viewpoint that all men are born .
A. equal B. different
C. to learn lessons D. ready for challenge
2.The example of “we love English, not physics" is mentioned to show that we .
A. choose our own path in life
B. need to face some hard lessons
C. discover the meaning of our own life
D. realize the necessity of openness
3.Whether we can see life lessons as gifts depends upon our .
A. angles of view
B. common value system
C. experiences from life
D. willingness to face challenge
4.What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Life and lesson B. Life as School
C. Life School and Students D. Gifts from Life
