The World Future is a group of people from more than 100 countries who are interested in how modern technology(技术) is making our life better.
They think the things that we will be able to do in the future should help us live better in many ways, at home and at work, in our own country and around the world. Here are just two of them：
●People live for up to 120 years and use new technology to help when people go blind(盲), deaf(聋) and have other problems. The number of people over a hundred years old could go from 135,000 today to 2.2 million people by 2050. By 2015 people think that 100 million workers will be able to work from home for a company in a different country by using the lnternet.
●The new technology of “nanotechnology”, that is very small robots or machines, will make all the things smaller and lighter. Very, very small machines could take away rubbish, make things in factories, and help people take away fat in our bodies. By 2020 people will probably be able to wear these small machines that look like watches. They will give us lots of information about our bodies and help keep us healthy.

Who do you think are the most important people in your life, your parents, your sisters or brothers, or your friends? I think your answer must be “my friends”. Some teenagers often say their parents don’t understand them. In large families, brothers and sisters often argue with each other. So most of us think friends are the most important people in our lives.
It is very important for teenagers to have one good friend or a group of friends. As for the reason, it may be because we can discuss some private things with friends. Of course we won’t tell things to our family members.
However, parents often try to choose friends for us. They may even stop us from meeting some of our best friends. In fact, they do it just because they care for us too much. But they often neglect(忽视) our real feelings. How can you solve this problem? I think the best way is to find a right time to talk with parents about our real feelings.

As young students, you have many dreams. These dreams can be very big, such as winning the Nobel Prize; they can also be small, such as becoming one of the best students in your class. Once you find a dream, what do you do with it? Do you ever try to make your dream real?
Andrew Matthews, an Australian writer, tells us that making your dreams real is life’s biggest school subjects, or that it’s impossible for you to become a writer. Those kinds of ideas stop you from realizing(实现) your dream.
In fact, everyone can realize his dream. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is. Don’t let it leave your heart. Keep telling yourself what you want every day and then your dream will come true faster. You should know that a big dream is, in fact, made up of many small dreams.
You must also never give up your dream. There will be difficulties on the road to your dreams. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself. You need to decide what is the most important. Studying instead of watching TV will help you to get better exam results, while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book.
As you get closer to your dream, it may change a little. This is good as you have the chance to learn something more useful and find new hobbies.

Around the world more and more people are taking part in dangerous sports and activities. Of course, there have always been people who have looked for adventures—those who have climbed the highest mountains, travelled into unknown parts of the world or sailed in small boats across the greatest oceans(海洋). Now, however, there are more people who look for an excitement from a risky activity which may only last a few minutes or even seconds.
I would think bungee jumping to be a good example of such an activity. You jump from a high place (perhaps a bridge or a hot-air balloon) 200 metres above the ground with an elastic (有弹性的) rope tied to your ankles(脚踝). You fall at up to 150 kilometres an hour until the rope stops you from hitting the ground. It is said that about 2 million people around the world have now tried bungee jumping. Other risky activities include jumping from tall buildings and diving(跳水) into the water from the top of high places.
Why do people take part in such activities as these? Some psychologists suggest that it is because life in modern world has become safe and boring. Not very long ago, people’s lives were often in danger. They had to go out and hunt for food, diseases could not easily be cured, and life was harder than that of the present days.
Nowadays, to many people, life offers little excitement. They live and work in safe conditions; they buy food in shops; and there are doctors and hospitals to look after them if they become ill. The answer for some of these people is to look for danger in activities such as bungee jumping.More and more people today __________.
| A．are trying activities such as bungee jumping |
| B．are climbing the highest mountains |
| C．are coming close to death in sports |
| D．are looking for adventures such as travelling into exciting parts of the world |
In bungee jumping, you __________.
| A．jump as high as you can |
| B．slide down(下滑) a rope to the ground |
| C．tie yourself to a rope and fall to the ground |
| D．fall towards the ground without a rope |
People probably take part in dangerous sports nowadays because __________.
| A．they have a lot of free time |
| B．they can go to hospital if they are injured |
| C．there isn’t so much excitement in life |
| D．they no longer need to hunt for food |
What is the best title of this passage?
| A．Modern Life is Boring |
| B．Dangerous Sports: What and Why |
| C．Bungee Jumping: Is It Really Dangerous? |
| D．Need for Excitement |
