People are often heard to say that their television sets have broken down and that they have suddenly found that they have far more time to do things and that they actually begin to talk to each other again. It makes one think, d
29、oesnt itThere are many other arguments for and against television. We must realize that television itself is neither good nor bad. It is the uses that determine its value to society.( )31.

33、 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.

35、ead, 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 very long period of time it is likely that mans eyes will grow stronger.On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs.

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
37、 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.

38、l be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.( ) 36. The passage mainly tells us that_.

43、angs a photo of my father.“When is Rick going to be here” My mother asks, referring to my husband.“I dont know, Mom,” I answer patiently. “Hell be here for dinner.”I sigh and get up from the table. This is at least the tenth time she has asked that my mother and daughter play, I busy myself making a
44、 salad.“Dont put in any onions,” Mom says. “You know how Daddy hates onion.”“Yes, Mom,” I scrub(洗擦) off a carrot and chop it into bite-size pieces.“Dont put any onions in the salad,” she reminds me. “You know how Daddy hates onion.”This time I cant answer.My mother had been beautiful. She still is.
45、In fact, my mother is still everything she has been,just a bit cut off the end of the cucumber and rub it to take away the bitterness. Cut and rub.
