15、amazed meevery time I saw Joe he was smiling. It didnt matter whether he had to stop at a stop light, or if he was the seventh person in line at the bank, and the teller(出纳员) ended her job just before he got there. Joe always smiled. It made me wonder why he always seemed so happy.Having observed Jo
16、e with other people, I noticed something else too. Joe asked people how they were going, and really seemed to listen to their answers. He showed pity to someone who was hurting, and had kind words, and offered to help in any way he could.It made me think. What if I tried to smile more? An experiment
17、 began when I went to the supermarket. I smiled as I went up and down the supermarket and people I didnt even know smiled back at me. Some even spoke! The little kid in the cart who was giving his mother a hard time saw me smile; he stopped talking and then made a shy attempt at a smile. The man in
18、the cart needed help to reach for something, and I got it for him. The smile even transferred(转移) over to him, and he thanked me.As I drove home, I was smiling. Now I know a smile is a small thing, but what if we all tried to smile a few more times each day? I couldnt believe how great I felt. Nothi
19、ng in my life had changed, but maybe it had.What I had learned was that such a small thing could lift not only my spirits, but also the spirits of those around me. So smile!20.

22、 you suppose Darwin, one of the greatest scientists of all time, really did foolish experiments? Or did he do experiments that were so simple and basic that other people just thought they were foolish?Sometimes, people think they already known the answer to a question or the solution to a problem. S
23、ometimes, they really do know an answer or a solution, but without thinking they are important.Charles Darwin didnt settle for(满足于) just thinking he knew something. And he believed all things could be important however simple they seemed to be.Suppose you drop sheets of paper that are of exactly the
24、 same size and shape. If you drop them at the same time in the same place, they will fall in the same way. Now make one of the sheets of paper into a tight little ball and let it drop along with the other sheets.What happens？You have done an experiment that is so simple that you might think it could
25、nt be worth anything.But this simple experiment is important. It explains part of our present day understandings of physics that were worked out long ago by Galileo and Newton. And these understandings set aside some of ancient Greek physics.Scientists sometimes stop to look at very simple things an
26、d to think very hard about them. Even the simplest idea, which we might think is foolish, can shake the foundations of science.24. The passage tells us that Charles Darwin _.A.was a great English scientistB.always liked doing the experiments that others thought difficultC.thought even the simplest t
27、hing was importantD.didnt get on well with others25. The underlined phrase “set aside” most probably means_.A.throw away B.store upC.put to use D.realize26.

29、win did foolish experiments.C. It is believed by all the people that things could be important though they seemed to be simple.D. Galileo and Newton worked out ancient Greek physics.DThese are some ideas that some people came up with about what the life will be like in the year 2500.We will have est
30、ablished a base on the moon. School kids can take field trips to the moon weekly. We will have found cures (疗法) for AIDS and cancer. The war will have ended and peace flows freely through the land. Kids will learn more and be smarter than ever before! History will be the main subject at school. Cafe
31、teria (自助餐厅) food will be delicious! You just walk up to a machine, stick out your tongue, and it will scan your taste buds (味蕾) to see what you want to eat. KristenHere I am in the wonderful year of 2500 and life is so easy. I work in a pet store and it is so hard! I have to wake up at midnight eve
32、ry day and fly my car to the store. It takes so long to get there. It takes me 20 seconds to get to the store in Mississippi from my home in Florida! At work, I have to push 5 buttons and then I go home. It takes 2 seconds and that is like forever. MorganIn the year 2500, I think we will have invent
33、ed cars that run on things we dont need like garbage. Tail gas will smell like whatever you like such as chocolate. I also predict that buildings will be able to go into a different dimension(维) so your car wont hit them. The cars in 2500 dont fly, for we havent got that technology yet, but they can
34、 hover (盘旋) up to seven feet. These cars are made for speed! CarlyInstead of cars, we may have hovering devices that float around. We could also have electric cars instead of gas powered cars. Food might be more healthy. What I believe is that the environment will change most. The environmental chan
35、ges will also determine many other changes. If more people try to help the environment, then perhaps in 2500 we will have more forests and wildlife. If people wont help the environment, then we will have no forests and little wildlife left. Roberta28. What does the underlined word “scan” in the 2nd
36、paragraph most probably mean?A. change B. treat C. examine D. improve29. According to Kristen, what will happen in 2500?A. English will be the main subject at school.B.
