When I was nine years old,   I loved to go fishing with my dad. My father could catch many fish while I caught _______. I usually got very sad and_______asking him why. He always answered,“Son, if you want to catch a fish, you have to_______ like a fish.” “But I am not a fish,”I said, “and I don't know what fish like.”

As I got a little older, I began to understand what my father really_______. So I read some books on fish and I even joined a local_______ Club and started attending the monthly meeting to know more about it. I learned that fish are cold-blooded(冷血的) animals and water_______is very important to them . That's why fish like shallow(浅的) water better than_______water because shallow water is warmer. _________, water is usually warmer in   direct sunlight than in the shade. Also, fish don't have any eyelids(眼皮) and the sun hurts their eyes ... The more I understand fish, the better I am at finding and_________them.

When I grow up, I go into the business world. It is not an easy job to sell things to others, but I do it well because I have the secret—that is to think more like__________. I have learned this lesson from fishing.

Wilson is a foreign student in Britain. He is learning English there. He still has some trouble using the language.

Doctor: Good morning. You’re a new patient, I think. What’s the trouble?
Wilson: Sometimes I feel cold and sometimes hot. I have a headache too.
Doctor: Yes, you look a bit off colour.
Wilson: What colour, please?
Doctor: Sorry, what I said was “off colour”. We use it to describe how people look or feel they are unwell. Let me take your temperature. When did this start?                 
Wilson: I felt very tired last night when I went to bed. Then I felt really bad this morning when I woke up.
Doctor: I see. Now, let’s look at your temperature. Ah, just as I thought, a hundred and one.
Wilson: Oh, a hundred and one? So high?
Doctor: Ah, yes, that must sound strange to you. We take people’s temperature on the Fahrenheit Scale. In Celsius, your temperature is 39℃, which is a little high.
Wilson: Oh, it isn’t very bad, then.
Doctor: No, it isn’t serious. You’ve got a cold. I’ll give you some medicine. You’d better stay at home for a day or two and drink plenty of water.
Wilson: Thank you very much, doctor. I’m feeling better already. It wasn’t so difficult telling you about my illness.
Doctor: No, language doesn’t mean too much to a doctor. After all, vets do without language at all.
Wilson: Please, what is a “vets”?
Doctor: Animal doctors. Now I must end this English lesson and see my next patient.

You get up in the morning and look into the mirror. Your face is not likely to change and stays young-looking. In 2035, medical science is better than ever. Many people of 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 treatment. Now, all three of you look the same age!

You say to your shirt, “Turn red.” It changes from blue to red. In 2035, “smart clothes” include particles, which are very small in size and can be used to change your clothes’ color or pattern.

You walk into the kitchen. You get the milk, but a voice says, “You shouldn’t drink that!” Your fridge has read the FRID chip, a piece of electronic equipment, on the milk bottle, and it knows the milk is old. In 2035, every food item in the supermarket has an FRID chip.

It’s time to go to work. In 2035, cars drive themselves. Just tell your “smart car” where to go. On the way, you can call a friend using your jacket sleeves. Nano-sized “smart technology(科技)” is all around you. “Your whole body and everything around you will become part of the same network,” says scientist Ampy Buchholz.

So will all these come true? For new technology to succeed, says scientist 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?

31. According to the passage, what will happen in 2035?

A．People will live to be 150.

B．Clothes will be much cheaper.

C．Cars can change colours themselves.

D．Food can stay fresh for a longer time.

32. What will come true according to scientist Ampy Buchholz?

A．Technology can be very dangerous.

B．Technology can replace what we have already.

C．Technology can make people nervous.

D．Technology can be part of our lives.

33. What is the best title for the passage?

A．Why will Everyday Life be Changed?	B．How will We Live in 2035?
C．When will Smart Technology be Used?	D．What will We Eat and Wear in 2035?

If I were to ask you to close your eyes and I gave you a piece of apple to eat，would you be able to tell me what it is just by tasting it？Of course，you could. Your tongue（舌头）helps you know what different foods taste like. Do you know that foods would taste different if you did not have a nose？

What You Need

☆a friend to help

☆small pieces of any food like carrot，orange，banana-whatever you have

☆small pieces of apples，raw（uncooked）potato and（if you are brave）onion（洋葱）

What You Do

There are actually three different experiments. You and your friend should take turns trying them on each other.

Experiment1:

Have your friend close her eyes and open her mouth. Give her a piece of the food and ask her to taste it. Then, ask her what she thinks it is. She will probably guess correctly.

Experiment2:

While your friend has her eyes closed, give her a piece of raw potato. At the same time, hold a piece of apple right under her nose. Ask her to eat the potato and tell you what she thinks it is. She will say it is a piece of apple! You can even do it the other way around, and she will think she is eating a potato, or, perhaps, she won't be able to name what she is eating.

Experiment 3:(for the brave)

Take a piece of raw onion. You don't have to close your eyes this time. Press your nose closed with yourother hand so that no smells can get into your nose. Now eat a small piece of the onion. Surprise! As long as you hold your nose, you will not be able to taste the onion.

The Science Secret

You already know the science secret. Your nose and your tongue work together to make food taste the way it does. Your tongue, however, can taste only certain flavors like salty, bitter, sour, and sweet. All of the other"tastes"are actually "smells", and you need your nose to taste them.

Oh, you might use this science secret the next time you are forced to eat something you don't like the taste of. If you hold your nose while you eat it, you won't"taste"it at all.

34. According to this article, what could a person know about food?

A．People hold their noses to eat onions.

B．If you close your eyes, food will taste better.

C．People need a sense of smell to taste some food.

D．If you can smell potatoes, you will taste apples.

35. What is the most probable reason Experiment 3 is called"for the brave"?

A．You have to eat a raw onion.

B．You keep your eyes open.

C．You have to hold your nose.

D．You do the experiment alone.

36. What can we learn from the passage?

A．Knowledge comes from personal experience.

B．Team work helps us to find out science secrets.

C．We should have courage while doing experiments.

D．We can't draw a conclusion simply from the feeling.

37. What's the passage mainly about?

A．Why different foods can smell the same.

B．How smell influences the way food tastes.

C．Why some things smell better than others.

D．How smell changes the way we see things.
