What will man be like in the future—in 5,000 or even 50,000 years from now？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 a relatively short period of time，so we may assume 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 to 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 a 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 are likely to be bald.
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 use. He will still be a human being，with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.
1.The passage mainly tells us that______.
A. man's life will be different in the future
B. future man will look quite different from us
C. man is growing taller and uglier as time passes
D. man's organs' functions will be on the wane
2.What serves as the evidence that man is changing?
A. Man has got stronger eyes now than he ever had.
B. Man's hair is getting thinner and thinner.
C. Man's arms and legs have become lighter and weaker.
D. Man has been growing taller over the past 500 years.
3.The change in man's size of forehead is probably because______.
A. he makes use only 20% of the brain's capacity
B. his brain has grown larger over the past centuries
C. the other 80% of his brain will grow in due time
D. he will use his brain more and more as time goes on

Developing a Funny Personality
Put yourself under the spotlight. Tell self-deprecating (自嘲的）jokes rather than make jokes at the expense of others. 1. Rodney Dangerfield made fun of both his sanity (理智）and his looks with this one: "I went to the psychiatrist (精神病医生)，and he says 'You're crazy.' I tell him I want a second opinion. He says, ‘Okay，you're ugly too!'"
Know your audience. 2. Some people find that sensationalism causes them to laugh; others find that satire (讽刺) does the trick. Learn which is which, and deliver your jokes and anecdotes so that they apply to many different categories of humor and emotion at once.
Mislead the mind. Misleading the mind is what we referred to earlier as surprise. 3. Verbal jokes use this element to the greatest level possible, trying to misdirect your attention in the same that magic tricks do.
4. Good timing is really important, because if you give the brain too much time to work out a situation or joke, the funny moment will pass by. This is probably why jokes people have heard before don't work, as recognition dulls the humor because the brain is already well-prepared by experience. React quickly and strike while the humorous moment exists.
Be observant. Look for the humor in everyday situations, and see what others don't. 5.
A. Strike while the iron is hot.
B. Different things make different people laugh.
C. Surround yourself with people who are funny.
D. More people will be more willing to laugh, instead of being laughed at.
E. You can expand your reach a good deal by listening to other funny people.
F. Often, the unnoticed humor that is standing right in front of our eyes has the most effect.
G. This is when you create a difference between what someone expects to happen and what actually happens.

Maybe it is true that we do not know what we have got until we lose it, but it is also true that we do not know what we have been missing until it arrives.
It takes an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone. Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they will love you back. Do not expect love in return; but if it does not, be content it has grown in yours. Do not rely on one’s appearance; it can trick you. Do not rely on wealth; even that fades away. Rely on someone who makes you smile, because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.
There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them. Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.
The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past. You cannot go on well in life until you let your past failures and heartaches go off. May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trails to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy. The happiest of people do not necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. Happiness waits for those who cry, those appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives. Always put yourself in others’ shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the other person, too.
When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you are the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.

A. If you give someone your love, you are sure to receive love in return.
B. We often don’t know what we have lost until it happens someday.
C. It is wise not to rely on anybody because you are likely to be cheated.
D. If it takes you a short time to love someone, you will easily forget the person.
3.If you put yourself in another person’s position, ______.
A. you shouldn’t do what will hurt other people
B. you should put on other people’s shoes
