What will our life be like in 2040？
Welcome to your future life!
You get up in the morning and look into the mirror．Your face is young﹣looking．In 2040，medical science is better than ever．Many people your age could live to be 150，so at 40，you're not old at all．And your parents just had an anti﹣aging nanotechnology（纳米技术）treatment．Now，all three of you look the same age!
You say to your shirt："Turn red．"It changes from blue to red．In 2040，"smart clothes contain particles（分子）much smaller than the cells（细胞）in your body．The particles can be programmed to change your clothes' color or shape．
You walk into the kitchen．You grab the milk，but a voice says，"You shouldn't drink that!"Your fridge has read the small computer chip（芯片）on the milk's label（商标），and it knows the milk is old．In 2040，every food item in the grocery store has a small chip．
It's time to go to work．In 2040，cars drive themselves．Just tell your"smart car"where to go．On the way，you can call a friend using your jacket sleeve（袖子）．Nano﹣sized"smart technology"is all around you．"Your whole body and surroundings will become part of the same network，"says scientist Ampy Buchholz．
So will all these predictions come true？For new technology to succeed，says futurist Andrew Zolli，"it has to be so much better that it replaces what we have already．"The Internet is one example﹣what will be the next？

Now satellites are helping to forecast the weather. They are in space, and they can reach any part of the world. The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere（大气）, because this is where the weather forms. They send these pictures to the weather stations. So meteorologists（气象学家）can see the weather of any part of the world. From the pictures, the scientists can often say how the weather will change.
Today, nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries receive satellite pictures. When they receive new pictures, the meteorologists compare them with earlier ones. Perhaps they may find that the clouds have changed during the last few hours. This may mean that the weather on the ground may soon change, too. In their next weather forecast, the meteorologists can say this.
So the weather satellites are a great help to the meteorologists. Before satellites were invented, the scientists could forecast the weather for about 24 or 48 hours. Now they can make good forecasts for three or five days. Soon, perhaps, they may be able to forecast the weather for a week or more ahead（提前）.Satellites travel _____________.
| A．in space | B．in the atmosphere | C．above the ground | D．above space |
Why do we use the weather satellites to take pictures of the atmosphere? Because ________.
| A．the weather satellites can do it easily | B．clouds form in the atmosphere there |
| C．the weather forms in the atmosphere | D．the pictures can forecast the weather |
Meteorologists forecast the weather __________.
| A．when they have received satellite pictures |
| B．after comparing the pictures with earlier ones |
| C．before they received satellite pictures |
| D．while they study satellite pictures |
The main idea of this passage is that satellites are now used in _________.
| A．taking pictures of the atmosphere | B．receiving pictures of the atmosphere |
| C．doing other work in many ways | D．weather forecasting to the pictures |
