But most people want to go into the freezer(冷藏库).These are believers in cryogenics(低温冷冻学).Now some diseases can‟t be cured, but they may be cured sometime in the future. So some people hope that their bodies can be frozen after they die. When a cure is found, warm up his or her body, bring it back to life and take the cure. Once the body is frozen, it is kept in liquid nitrogen(液态氮) at a temperature of 328 degrees below zero.Now around a thousand people are going to take cryogenic treatment(处理), though most scientists say it won‟t work.

On the ground lay a young tree, ready to be planted. The rich man called out to the old man, “What kind of tree are you planting there, my good man?” “This is a fig(无花果) tree, sir. ” He said.“A fig tree?” the rich man was very surprised, “Why, how old are you, may I ask?”“I am ninety years old.”“What!” cried the rich man, “You‟re ninety years old. You are planting a very young tree now and it‟ll take years to give fruit. You certainly don‟t hope to live long enough to get any fruit from this tree. ” The old man looked around the garden. Then he said with a smile, “Tell me, sir. Did you eat figs when you were a boy? ”“Sure,” the man did not know why he asked this question. “Then tell me this,” he said, “Who planted the fig trees?” “Why-why? I don‟t know.” “You see, sir.” went on the old man,“Our forefathers(祖先) planted trees for us to enjoy and I am doing the same for the people after me.”The rich man was quiet and said, “You are right，my good man.

The factory owner could beat a child who fell asleep or was not fast enough. Both parents and teachers could do the same.Today, there are many laws about children all over the world. Some people think children must obey rules or they should be punished，others do not agree. The Inuits or Eskimos in Alaska almost never punish their children. The parents don‟t hit them. If the children go too far，the parents punish them by making fun of them.Children in other parts of the world are not as lucky as Eskimo children. American parents can spank(打……臀部) their children at home，but a teacher cannot hit a child in a public school. This is also true in Germany. In contrast(对比), it is against the law for anyone to hit a child in Sweden. Swedish parents cannot spank their children. The children also have a special government official who works for their rights. There is even a plan for children to divorce from their parents though this is not a law yet！根据短文内容回答下列各问题。
