Life will probably be very different in 2050. First of all, it looks as though TV channels will have disappeared by 2050. Instead, people will choose a program from a “menu” and a computer will send the program directly to the television. Today, we can use the World Wide Web to read newspaper stories and see pictures on a computer thousands of kilometers away. By 2050, music, films, programmers, newspapers and books will come to us in this way.

In many places, agriculture is developing quickly and people are growing fruit and vegetables for export. This uses a lot of water. Therefore, there could be serious shortages. Some futurologists (未來學(xué)家) predict that water could be the cause of wars if we don’t act now.

In future, cars will run on new，clean fuels and they will go very fast. Cars will have computers to control the speed and there won’t be any accidents. Today, many cars have computers that tell drivers exactly where they are．By 2050, the computer will control the car and drive it to your destination. Also, by 2050, space planes will fly people from Los Angeles to Tokyo in just two hours.

    A number of large companies now use robots instead of people who ask for pay rises, or go on strike, and can not work 24 hours a day. By 2050, we will see robots everywhere—in factories, schools, offices, hospitals, shops and homes.

    By 2050, we will be able to help blind and deaf people see and hear again. In the last few years, scientists have discovered how to control genes and have already produced clones of animals. By 2050，scientists will be able to produce clones of people and decide how they look, how they behave and how much intelligence they have. Scientists will be able to do these things, but should they? 

40. By 2050, people will get information mainly by _______.

A. watching TV                                                             B. reading newspapers 

C. listening to the radio                                         D. turning to a website

     One would have to be a fool to overlook the importance of using positive thinking for you rather than snowing negative thinking to work against you. In recent years, research in psychopharmacology(精神藥理學(xué)) has proved what many people have known over the centuries: a positive attitude is good for you, good for your health, good for your wealth, good for everything.

      Researchers have found that a positive attitude produces a specific chemical reaction which makes people feel better, while negative thinking results in a reduction of hormone(荷爾蒙) and shuts down the immune system. This leads to illness and depression. Positive thoughts will make you feel better. Even if

you must begin by forcing yourself to be positive, it will become contagious and the positive thoughts will produce nice little chemicals and good feelings which will reinforce the positive thoughts.

      For example, if you force yourself to smile or laugh, even when you "don't feel like smiling or laughing, if you keep at it for a few minutes, you will soon feel like it. Feelings can make thoughts alive, and thoughts can do it, too. Control your thoughts and you can control your feelings. Positive thinking is important in all aspects of our lives. There is probably no single factor more important in determining your success in achieving your career purposes than your own attitude.

      It's often been said that in the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king. And in the office of militant(好戰(zhàn)的) negativism, the positive workers shine like gold. You cannot control external events, but you can learn to control your reaction to those events and thereby have a positive attitude and be happy. This important key to success is totally within your control. Use it.

We can infer from the passage that       .

   A. positive thinking can cure you of your diseases

   B. positive thinking can easily be generated by anyone

   C. a reduction of hormone may cause you to be depressed

   D. a specific chemical reaction is the cause of negative thinking

According to the passage, which of the following is true?

     A. Feeling and thoughts can react to each other.

     B. It's easier to control thoughts than to control feelings.

     C. Your success depends wholly on your attitude.

     D. Keeping smiling will surely make you successful.

Just like a one-eyed man in the land of the blind, you should       .

     A. take positive attitude in the office of militant negativism

     B. be kind in your office

     C. pay no attention to what is going on around you

     D. control your feeling to what is happening to you

  The best title to the passage is      .

     A. Thinking Benefits People                    B. Why Should People Think

     C. Positive Thinking and Negative Thinking       D. Thinking: The Important Way
