In the future your automobile will run on water instead of gas! You will be able to buy a supercomputer that fits in your pocket! You might even drive a flying car!
For each prediction that has come true today, several others have missed by a mile. Many of these predictions didn’t consider how people would want to use the technology, or if people really needed it in their lives or not. Let’s look at some predictions from the not-too-distant past.
Robot Helpers
Where’s the robot in my kitchen? Nowhere, of course. And he’s probably not coming anytime soon. Robots do exist today, but mostly in factories and other manufacturing environments.
Back in the 1950s, however, people said that by now personal robots would be in most people’s homes.
So why hasn’t it happened?  Probably because robots are still too expensive and clumsy. And maybe the idea of robots cooking our dinners and washing our clothes is just too weird. At home we seem to be doing fine without them.
Telephones of Tomorrow
In 1964 an American company introduced the video telephone. They said by the year 2000 most people would have a video phone in their homes. But of course the idea hasn’t caught on yet.
Why? The technology worked fine, but it over—looked something obvious: people’s desire for privacy. Would you want to have a video phone conversation with someone after you just step out of the shower?  Probably not---it could be embarrassing! Just because a technology available doesn’t always mean people will want to use it.
And finally, how about that crazy prediction of the flying car? It’s not so crazy anymore! But a flying car remains one of the most fascinating technology ideas to capture our imagination. Keep watching the news, or perhaps the sky outside your window, to see what the future will bring.
【小題1】 The whole passage is mainly about ________________.

A．predictions that have come true.B．predictions that haven’t come true.
C．why predictions don’t come true easily.D．what technology will bring about.
【小題2】The author of this passage won’t believe that _________________.
A．predictions needn’t consider people’s practical use of technology.
B．the future isn’t always easy to guess.
C．not all past predictions have come true.
D．many of the high—tech things our parents thought we’d be using by now
simply never appeared.
【小題3】The underlined word “weird” probably means __________.
A．wonderfulB．stupidC．practicalD．strange
【小題4】 What does the author think of the flying car?
A．It is too difficult to imagine.B．It is too crazy an idea.
C．It is likely to be made.D．It is often reported in the news.

An earthquake is one of the most common natural disasters. It may cause great damage. So it is wise to learn some simple safety tips to protect yourself or your family members.
Fragile items, like those made of glass are easily broken and should usually be placed on a lower surface, near the ground instead of placing them on cupboards higher up. Never place them near your bed, sofas and other furniture where you would be sitting or lying down. When there is a strong movement, these pieces will fall on the floor directly and not on you.
There is a strong chance of short circuits （短路） and fire breakouts during an earthquake. Make sure you turn off electrical connections and gas immediately when an earthquake happens.
During an earthquake, lie beneath an object that is not easily damaged. Do not go near objects that could directly fall on you. Never use the elevator to go down. Stay inside until the shaking stops and it is safe to go outside. Research has shown that most injuries happen when people inside buildings try to go out. Use the staircases at all times.
If you are outdoors, do not take shelter under a tree, streetlights, electric poles or tall buildings. If you are driving, stop your car and stay in a safe place. Do not park your car under a tree or any tall object.
If trapped in debris (瓦礫堆), cover your mouth with a handkerchief or clothing. Tap on a pipe or wall so rescuers can find you. Use a whistle (哨子) if one is available. Never shout for help. Shouting can cause you to breathe in dangerous amounts of dust. Do not light a match because you may burn yourself. Do not move about or kick up dust.
【小題1】The purpose of the passage is to tell readers _____.

A．the damage caused by earthquakes
B．the rescue work after earthquakes
C．what to do about earthquakes
D．how to prevent earthquakes
【小題2】 The underlined word “Fragile” in Paragraph 2 probably means _____.
A．easily brokenB．easily foundC．expensiveD．heavy
【小題3】To reduce the injury from the earthquake, items made of glass should be put _____.
A．on cupboards
B．in the bedroom
C．on a lower surface
D．where children can’t reach them
【小題4】During the earthquake, people are advised to _____.
A．go out the building at once
B．turn off electricity and gas immediately
C．take shelter under a tree
D．drive to a safe place quickly
【小題5】What should people NOT do when they are trapped in debris?
A．Cover their mouth with a handkerchief.
B．Tap on a pipe or wall for help.
C．Use a whistle for help.
D．Light a match for help.

C
Not long ago, the world’s lowest-priced car was launched（投放市場） in Mumbai, India．The Nano, made by Tata Motors, is expected to cause a transportation revolution for millions of Indian families．The small three-meter long car will cost 2,000 dollars, which is about half the price of similar cars．That is expected to make car ownership possible for more Indians．So it is being called “The People’s Car．”
