24、Welcome to your future life!
You get up in the morning and look into the mirror(镜子). 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” contain particles, which are very tiny in size and can be programmed 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(袖子). Nano-sized “smart technology” 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?

25、Here’s a story from an old man who lived 900 years ago.
“When I was young, I wanted to change the world. But I found it was difficult to change the world, so I tried to change my country. When I found I couldn’t change the country, I began to focus on my hometown. I couldn’t change the hometown and as an old man, I tried to change my family.
“Now, as an old man, I realize the only thing I can change is myself, and suddenly I realize that if long ago I had changed myself, I could made an impact(影响)on my family. My family and I could have have an impact on our town. Their impact could have changed the country and I could indeed have changed the world. In fact, relaxing can make your mind a break, stop worrying so much about your future and just take the beauty of life.”
You have the power to change your thoughts; you have the power to make tomorrow a better day than today, and it might not be much better, but the small victories slowly add up when you live life day by day and learn to thank the small things.

26、In one way, it is the “greatest” drone ever. In another, though, it is the opposite of what a drone should be. Drone should be very lazy. They don’t have to work. Only their sister should be busy pollinating (传授花粉) and producing honey. However, for this drone, pollination is the very reason fur its existence (存在).
The drone, in fact is an invention of Ejiro Miyako. Miyako is a scientist from Japan. Many people, including Miyako have been worried about the future of food industry. Pollinating insects, especially bees, are falling in number. As a result, some plants can’t get pollinated and there will be fewer plants for us to eat. Scientists have been working hard to increase the number of bees. Unfortunately, they have had little success. Perhaps, Miyako thinks, it is time to build some robot bees instead.
Miyako’s bee, in fact, does not look much like a bee. It is based on a quad-copter. Miyako has put some brush hair on it. The hair is covered in special glue. They are able to pick up and hold grains of pollen(花粉) until they brush up against something else.
At the moment, Miyako’s robot bee still needs help from human operators. That’s because it can’t see where its target (目标) are. In the next step, Miyako will install visual recognition (视觉识别) software on his bee. After that, the robot bee will be able to see by itself.
【1】In the first paragraph, the underlined “drone” refers to a kind of ________.
A. flower B. bee C. honey D. software
【2】Ejiro Miyako is worried that ________ in the future.
A. we may be short of food

C. pollinate plants D. increase the number of natural bees
【4】Which of the following is a must for Ejiro Miyako’s invention?
A. Pollen. B. Drones and their sisters.
C. Brush hair. D. Visual recognition software.
【5】According to the article, what will Ejiro Miyako do in the next step?
A. Produce more robot bees.
B. Fill his garden with robot bees.
C. Allow robots to pick up pollen.
D. Make his robot bees work independently.
