We can only make guesses, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today. For man is slowly changing all the time.Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is relatively short period of time, so we may assume(假定)that man will continue to grow taller. Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain's capacity. As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and eventually we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring about a physical change too: the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger.Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over very long period of time it is likely that man's eyes will grow stronger.On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life.But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes arc likely to be bald(光秃).Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.()4. The passage mainly tells us that.A. man's life will be different in the futurefuture man will look quite different from usB. man is growing taller and uglier as time passesman's organs' functions will be on the wane()5. The change in man's size of forehead is probably becausehe makes use only 20 % of the brain 5s capacity.A. his brain has grown larger over the past centuries.B. the other 80% of his brain will grow in due time.C. he will use his brain more and more as time goes on.()6. What is true about a human being in the future?A. He is hairless because hair is no longer useful.B. He has smaller eyes and wears better glasses.C. His fingers grow weaker because he doesn't have to make use of them.D. He thinks and feels in different ways.()7. It is implied that.A. human beings will become less attractive in the future.B. less use of a bodily organ may lead to its degeneralion(退化、衰退)human beings hope for a change in the future lifeC. future life is always predictable.参考答案：BDABcSACRAMENTO (New York Times)—The 2005 Best Ten Citizens of Charity have been honored today by the city government, one of whom is Ms Myrtle Smith.
