You don’t need to get in a time-travelling machine to see how technology will change our lives, such as the way we shop. Several new technologies that are to change your buying habits already appear. Let’s see what’s in store for your future shopping.

Try it on, virtually（虛擬地）. Want to shop online for a new pair of glasses? You don’t need to guess which pair looks best on you—use the eBay Fashion iPhone app to try a pair of glasses you’re checking out on a picture of your face. But what about buying something bigger? Thanks to Microsoft Kinect’s action tracking（跟蹤）camera, you can cover clothes on your screen body. You can even choose the background of your virtual fitting room to improve your shopping experience.

Get a perfect, custom fit. Everyone’s body is shaped differently. To get a perfect fit, you sometimes have to get your clothes changed. But by using 3D scanning technology, all the clothes you buy will fit your body perfectly. Some companies scan（掃描）your body using High-tech to get the real sizes, so they can make special clothes just for you.學(xué)科+網(wǎng)

High-tech shopping carts（推車）and checkout counters（收銀臺(tái)）. High-tech shopping carts could be common in malls and supermarkets in the future. Microsoft Kinect-enabled carts are under test. The cart can follow you along the aisles（通道）, controlled only by your movement and your voice.

In the United States, several supermarkets use a certain set called “Scan It” that gives buyers the freedom to scan products on their own while they shop. If we don’t want to wait in line before the checkout counters, we can use Toshiba’s new object Recognition Scanner. The machine identifies（辨認(rèn)）a product as soon as it’s placed in front of a camera just by its shape and color, even if it has no bar code.

A. only make pictures of our faces B. help us sell more clothes online

C. create us a virtual dressing room D. choose suitable glasses for us

The Silk Road is the name of different roads that long ago connected Europe, Africa and Asia. People reached these different places along these roads. Scientists believe people began to travel the Silk Road about 3，000 years ago. By the time the Chinese silk trade became important in the world, the Silk Road covered almost 6，500 kilometres. It spread from Rome to China, which is from the West to the Far East.

Traders travelling along the Silk Road carried silk, of course. They also carried and traded spices(香料), cloth, valuable stones and gold.

There is a famous old story along the old road. It is said that Roman soldiers(士兵) travelled through central Asia. They started to live somewhere near the ancient Chinese village of Liqian. Some of these Romans married local Chinese women and the story of blue?eyed villages of China was started.

During its busiest period, the Silk Road allowed people from many different cultures and countries to meet each other and mix. The Silk Road allowed the sharing of valuable goods and new ideas. These included people and trading goods from the Mediterranean, Persian, Magyar, Armenian, Bactrian, Indian and Chinese areas. All these peoples travelled the Silk Road, and they shared goods, stories, languages, and cultures.

In modern times, the old Silk Road routes(路線) are still used, but now they are crossed by trains instead of camels and horses. There is even a Silk Route Museum in Jiuquan in China. It has over 35，000 objects from all along the Silk Road. In this way, China protects the history of many countries and peoples.

1.How many kilometres did the Silk Road cover?

A. About 3，000. B. Nearly 6，500.

C. Almost 2，000. D. Over 35，000.

2.Traders carried all kinds of goods along the Silk Road. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage？

A. Silk. B. Cloth.

C. Gold. D. Tea.

3.Who married ancient Chinese women in the story of blue?eyed villages of China?

D. American soldiers.

4.What can we infer(推斷) from the passage?

B. The Silk Road allowed people from different countries to mix.

C. Ancient Chinese along the Silk Road may be able to speak different languages.

D. The objects in the museum in Jiuquan in China are from all along the Silk Road.

5.Which part of a magazine can this passage come from?

Every boy wants to find treasure. And Tom was no different One summer day Tom told Huck about his idea.

“Where can we look for treasure?” asked Huck.

“It’s hidden on islands, under dead trees, but mostly under the floors in haunted(鬧鬼的) houses.”

So, one Saturday afternoon Tom and his friend went to look for treasure as the haunted house on Cardiff Hill. It was a quiet and lonely which made the boys feel very frightened. They entered quietly, and explored downstairs. There were cobwebs everywhere and everything was old and broken. Then they threw their tools in a corner and walked upstairs, but there was nothing there. They were just about to go downstairs and start digging when Tom stopped.

“What is it?” whispered Huck, going white with fright.

“Keep quiet! There’s someone downstairs.”

The boys lay down, looking through the holes in the wooden floor. There were two men downstairs. One was an old Spaniard in a wide sombrero hat and the other was duty and unpleasant-looking.

Tom and Hack shook with fear when they heard the Spaniard speak because they found it was Indian Joe He said.

“It’s time for us to move, partner. What will we do with the $650 form the robbery(搶劫)?”

“Let’s keep $30 each and leave the bag here.”

The dirty man went to the fireplace and moved a stone. Then he lifted out a bag full of money and look out some coins. The two boys forgot all their fears when they saw there was real treasure downstairs.

Then Indian Joe started digging a hole with his knife and the knife hit something.

“What is it?” asked the other man.

“It’s a box,” said Indian Joe. And he put in his hand and pulled out a handful of gold coins. The other man found the boys’ tools, and they soon pulled out the box.

“Where’s thousands of dollars in there,” Said Indian Joe.

“The Murrell Gang used this area one summer,” said his partner.

“They most have hidden their money here.”

“What will we do with this, Joe? Will we bury(埋)it again?”

“No, someone might find it,” said Indian Joe. “Let’s bury it in the member two den.”
