Someday in the future we may not need to have money in our pockets. Is life easier when people don’t need to carry any money at all? Is money heavy to carry? Is it safe to carry money? Maybe in the future each of us will have only one small credit card(信用卡). We will use it instead of money to buy all the things.
Of course we may still have some of the same problems with cards as we now have with money. For example, we lose money from time to time. Maybe we still lose the cards. Maybe someone will take the cards. Someone may even make a card that looks like our cards. Since we can’t buy anything without our cards, the credit cards may be no better than money.
Is there something easier to use than credit card? Each of us has a thumbprint(拇指指纹). No two thumbprints are the same. Maybe someday the government will keep people’s thumbprints with a number. When you want to buy something, you will put your thumb on a machine or a computer. Each store or business will possess one. Everyone’s thumbprint will be in the computer.

Will it matter if you don’t take your breakfast? A short time ago, a test was given in the United States. People of different ages, from 12 to 83, were asked to have a test. During the test, these people were given all kinds of breakfasts, and sometimes they got no breakfast at all. Scientists wanted to see how well their bodies worked when they had eaten different kinds of breakfast.
The results show that if a person eats a right breakfast, he or she will work better. If
a student has fruit, eggs, bread and milk before going to school, he will learn more quickly
in class.
The result is opposite to what some people think. Having no breakfast will not help you lose weight. This is because people become so hungry at noon that they eat too much for lunch. They will gain weigh instead of losing it. Besides, you will lose more weight if you reduce your other meals.

“ Oh, you’re such a good man, “ she said. When we got into the taxi, she gave me an address, and then asked. “ Could you drive me throughout the downtown?”
“ It’s not the shortest way, “ I answered quickly.
“ Oh, I’m in no hurry, “ she said, “ I’m on my way to t he hospice(收容所). I don’t have any family left. The doctor says I don’t have very long time.” I quickly shut off the meter(计价器). For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked, and the neighbourhood where she had lived . Sometimes she asked me to slow down in front of a special building and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.
As the day broke, she suddenly said, “I’m tired. Let’s go now.”

“How much shall I give you?” she asked
“Nothing,” I said
“You have to make a living, “she answered, “Oh, it doesn’t matter! I have other passengers to pick up. “I answered.

My Dream
My parents always told me that I couldn’t dance, because it was a girl’s sport. But I never gave up my dream of becoming a dancing star. I practiced 16 , learning from books, movies and shows. However, without my parents’ support, that 17 seemed impossible to reach.

“You can be a good dancer!” I 22 her. “Let’s show those people that they have been wrong all along.”
In the following months, we practiced every evening, 23 from my parents. I was having a fantastic time and soon Mary improved a lot.

My heart was 28 wildly when I saw my father coming towards me. He put his hand on my shoulder. “Well done, son. Though it is hard for me to admit (承认) it, I have to say you are born to 29 . Go for it and make us proud.”

How can you change negative thoughts? Many people suggest changing your attitude (态度) by thinking of something bright and happy.
However, scientists from Q ueen’s University in Canada said that there might be another way: by walking like a happy person.
“It is not surprising that our mood and the way we feel affects (影响) how we walk, but we want to see whether the way we move also affects how we feel,” explai ned Nikolaus Troje, the lead scientist, to The Independent.
Scientists believed that the way we remember emotional (令人动情的) messages is affected by our mood. Those who suffer from depression (抑郁) remember negative information far more easily than positive messages, especially when the information is about them.
In order to prove this, Troje and his team used cameras to observe 47 people walking on the treadmill (跑步机). Half of the people were encouraged to mimic (模仿) a depressive walking style, while the other half moved like a happy person. Walking speed was kept equal for both groups.
During the time on the treadmill, the scientists read out a list of positive and negative words, asking people to decide whether or not each word described them well. Afterwards, people were asked to recite as many of the words as they could remember.
As expected, those who had been mimicking a depressed walk recalled more negative words than those that had been walking in a happy manner.
This finding means that our walk influences the way we process information. And the scientists believe that using a happy walking style could help with treatment for depression.
34. Which of the following is closest in the meaning to the underlined word “negative” in the
first paragraph?
A. sad and inactive
B. angry and nervous
C. patient and straight
D. lonely and boring
35. What new way did scientists from Queen’s University possibly find to change negative
thoughts?
A. Doing something happy.
B. Walking like a happy person.
C. Thinking of something bright.
D. Thinking about being a happy person.
36. Which of the following is NOT true about Troje’s test?
A. The 47 people walked on the treadmill.
B. The two groups walked at different speeds.
C. Half of the people walked in a happy walking style.
D. Another half walked in a depressive walking style.
37. According to the story, the finding can help ▲ .
A. improve one’s living skills
B. record people’s happy memory
C. change a person’s walking habit
D. treat patients with depression
C
Do you know electricity can change the way we taste food? Don’t feel surprised at the fact.
A special electric fork invented by Japanese researchers could make any dish taste salty.
According to Hiromi Nakamura, a Post Doctor Researcher at Meiji University of Japan, the
technology can be very useful for people with special eating
habits. For example, the sick with high blood pressure (高血压)
can easily develop a low-salt eating habit and still enjoy
delicious food. And with the fork, there’s totally no risk of
over-salting their food. Luckily, the voltage (电压) is so small
that it is safe to use the fork.
The idea of adding electricity to food was first shown to public as an experiment at the Computer Human Interaction Conference in Austin, Texas, in 2012. Nakamura and her team connected a wire (导线) to a 9-volt battery (电池) and passed it through a straw (吸管) placed in a cup of sweet lemonade. Volunteers reported that the lemonade tasted not as sweet as it usually was, because the electricity created the taste of salt.
Nakamura has improved the technology to be able to make the electricity reach the food through forks and chopsticks. “The metallic part of the fork is one electrode (电极), and the handle is the other,” Nakamura explained. “When you take a piece of food with the fork and put it in your mouth, you connect the circuit. When you take the fork out of your mouth, you disconnect the circuit. So it actually works as a switch.”
Simon Klose, TV presenter of food program Munchies, who recently visited Nakamura to try out the fork himself, then said it was one of the greatest eating experiences he’d ever had. “When I first heard of electric food, it sounded terrible.”he said. He later continued to use the fork to eat pieces of fried chicken, and found that the saltiness greatly increased as the electricity was connected.
Nakamura has been eating “electric” food for the past three to four years in order to understand it better. “For me,” she said, “it may seem like we’re cooking but we’re actually working on the human taste.”

You need some bread and milk. But half an hour later, you leave the supermarket with a trolley (手推车) full of food. What games do supermarkets play to make us spend so much money?21世纪教育版权所有
The tricks usually start before you walk in. Outside the supermarket door, anybody who walks past can smell warm, fresh bread. That makes us hungry and ready to buy lots of food, not just bread.
Now you’re inside and, of course, a small basket would be fine, but in some supermarkets, all they have are trolleys. And of course the problem with a trolley is that it looks sad and lonely with just one or two products inside. So we may fill it with something. In fact, supermarket trolleys are actually getting bigger so that we buy more.
Of course, many people shop in supermarkets because they think everything is cheaper than in other shops. So supermarkets offer very cheap prices on some things but then have higher prices for other products. One new trick is to put red stickers (标签) on products. Customers usually connect red stickers with lower prices so the red stickers are easy to be noticed, even when there is no reduction (降价)! Interestingly, this trick appears to work more with men than with women.
There is a story behind the position of everything in the supermarket. For example, customers often go only to buy milk. So they put it right at the back, forcing you to go past hundreds of shelves full of other products. The position of products on each shelf is also important. The most expensive products are usually at eye-level so you see these at once. The exception is anything that children might like. These products are on lower shelves so that kids see and even reach them.
Except what you see and smell in a supermarket, how about what you listen to? In most
supermarkets they have soft, slow music. It’s so relaxing that you slow down and spend more time (and money) in the store. You also move more slowly when the supermarket is busy. Experts suggest it’s better to shop when it’s quieter, on a Monday or a Tuesday for example. And be careful at the checkouts when you pay for the things you buy. These are sometimes on purpose, to make you buy something from the checkout shelves while you wait for your turn.
So, next time you go into your local supermarket, remember these tricks and see if you can come out with just the things you want.
