"Family" is of course an elastic word. And in different countries it has differen meanings. Butwhen British people say that their society is based on family life, they are thinking of "family"in itsnarrow, peculiarly European sense of mother, father and children living together in their own houseas an economic and social unit. Thus, every British marriage indicates the beginning of a new and in-dependent family--hence the tremendous importance of marriage in British life. For both man andwoman, marriage means leaving one’s parents and starting one’s own life. The man’s first duty willthen be to his wife, and the wife’s to her husband. He will be entirely responsible for her financialsupport, and she for the running of the new home. Their children will be their common responsibilityand their alone. Neither the wife’s parents nor the husband’s, nor their brothers or sisters, aunts oruncles, have any right to interfere with them-they are their own masters.
Readers of novels likeJane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice will know that in former times, marriage among wealthy families were arranged by the girl’s parents, that is, it was the "parents' duty tofind a suitable husband for their daughter, preferably a rich one, and by skillful encouragement tolead him eventually to ask their permission to marry her. Until that time, the girl was protected andmaintained in the parents' home, and the financial relief of getting rid of her could be seen in theirgiving the newly married pair a sum of money called a dowry (嫁妝). It is very different today.Most girls of today get a job when they leave school and become financially independent before theirmarriage. This has had two results. A girl chooses her own husband, and she gets no dowry. Everycoin has two sides; independence for girls is no exception. But it may be a good thing for all of thegirls, as their social status are much higher and they are no longer the subordinate(部下，下級(jí)) oftheir parents and husbands.
46. What does the author mean by "Family is of course an elastic word"?
[A]Different families have different ways of life.
[B]Different definitions could be given to the word.
[C]Different nations have different families.

[A]supporting the family while the wife is working out

[A]by the couple
[B]with the help of their parents

As a child, Stevie learned not to think about the things he could not do, but to concentrate onthe things that he could do. His parents encouraged him to join in his sighted brothers as many activi-ties as possible. They also helped him to sharpen his sense of heating, the sense upon which the usu-ally disabled are so dependent.
Because sound was so important to him. Stevie began at an early age to experiment with differ-ent kinds of sound. He would bang things together and then imitate th sound with his voice. Oftenrelying on sound for entertainment, he sang, beat on toy drums, played a toy harmonica(口琴) ,andlistened to the radio.
Stevie soon graduated from toy instruments to real instruments. He first learned to play thedrums. He then mastered the harmonica and the piano. He became a member of the junior churchchoir(唱詩(shī)班) and a lead singer. In the evenings and on weekends, Stevie would play different in-struments and sing popular rhythm and blues tunes on the front porches (走廊) of neighbors' homes.One of Stevie’s sessions was overheard by Ronnie White, a member of a popular singing groupcalled The Miracles. Ronnie immediately recognized Stevie’s talent and took him to audition (試聽(tīng))for Berry Gordy, the president of Hitsville USA, a large recording company now known as Motown.Stevie recorded his first smash hit "Fingertips" in 1962 at age twelve, and the rest of Stevie’s story ismusic history.

Fishing adds only about one percent to the global economy, but on a regional basis it can contribute extremely to human survival. Marine fisheries contribute more t the world’s supply of protein than beef, poultry or any other animal source.
Fishing typically does not need land ownership, and because it remains, generally, open to all, itis often the employer of last resort in the developing world an occupation when there are no otherchoices. Worldwide, about 200 million people rely on fishing for their livelihoods. Within Southeast Asia alone, over five million people fish full time. In northern Chile forty percent of the populationlives off the ocean. In Newfoundland most employment came from fishing or servicing that indus-try--until the collapse of the cod fisheries in the early 1990s that left tens of thousands of people outof work.
Though debates over the conservation of natural resources are often cast as a conflict betweenjobs and the environment ,the restoration of fish populations would i fact boost employment. MichaelP. Sissenwine and Andrew A. Rosenberg of the U.S. National Marine Fisheries Service have esti-mated that if depleted species were allowed to rebuild to their long term potential, their sustainable use would add about $8 billion to the U.S. gross domestic product and provide about 300,000 jobs. Iffish poupulations were restored and properly managed, about twenty million metric tons could be added to: the world’s annual catch. But restoration of ecological balance, fiscal profitability (收益) andeconomic security will require a continual reduction in the capacity of the commercial fishing industryso that wild populations can recover.
The necessary reductions in fishing workforce need not come at the expense of jobs. Governments could increase employment and reduce the pressure on fish populations by guiding subsidies away from highly mechanised ships. For each $1,000,000 of investment, industrial scale fishing operations require only one to five people, while small scale fisheries would employ between 60 and 3,000. Industrial fishing itself threatens tens of millions of fishermen working on a small scale by depleting the fish on which they depend for subsistence.
56. The animal source which provides the most protein for human being is________
[A]beef
[B]fish
[C]pork
[D]chicken
57. Paragraph 2 indicates that________
[A]most of man’s employment is from fishing
[B]man can always turn to fishing for employment
[C]forty percent of Chileans live on fishing boats or ships
[D]fishing has been the biggest industry in Newfoundland
58. In the conflict between jobs and the environment,the author takes sides with those who are in favour of________
[A]increasing the annual catch
[B]creating more jobs
[C]getting greater fiscal profitability
[D]conserving natural resources
59. The balance between jobs and the environment can be kept if____
[A]fishing capacity is further increased
[B]fishing jobs are further increased
[C]fewer well-equipped fishing ships are used
[D]fewer species are allowed to rebuild
60. The passage suggests that making less use of modern technology may________
[A]reduce pressure on fish populations
[B]threaten the world’s annual catch
[C]increase government's investment
[D]cost tens of thousands of fishermen’s jobs
Paula:
The furore is determined by the actions of the present day. The responsibility we have for the fu-ture begins when we recognize that we ourselves create the future-that the future is not somethingimposed upon us by fate or other forces beyond our control. We ourselves build the future boththrough what we do and what we do not do.
Mrs. John:
The future will see more unbelievable things. In the future, people will be able to predict theirperformance from the strength of the brain’s electrical activity. Doctor Kramer has found that thestrength of the brain’s electrical activity can be measured through the scalp (頭皮). Bosses couldmeasure brain activity through the scalp and tell whether a worker is performing well, working hard,or too tired to do the job properly.
Mary:
In the new century, things around us will be more fascinating. The chemical element in the heart issaid to increase your desire for fat, when is stimulated. This means that disturbances of this chemical ge-latin can lead to overeating. Doctor Sarah Leibowits presented an academic paper suggesting that the ap-petite for fat rich food can be controlled through drugs that block the effects of gelatin.
Judy:
In the future our life will change dramatically. It is quite certain that computers will play animportant part in our life. You will visit your doctor, and find that he uses a computer screen andvisual information about your condition, instead of his text books. Computers in your home will enable you to answer interactive questions about your health and show the alternative results whichwill affect you if you act in a certain way.
Carrie:
In the future, computers will change the way the doctors diagnose and treat their patients. Alsodoctors will change their traditional notion of medicine. Although pills for tension, heart conditions, being overweight and other life threatening conditions are prescribed by western doctors, most doctors now require patients to focus on healthy way of living by changing diets and doingmore exercise as a means to keep fit.
Now match each of the items (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement.Note: there are two extra statements.

第二部分 英語(yǔ)知識(shí)運(yùn)用
參考譯文
美國(guó)大部分的廣播臺(tái)和電視臺(tái)都是商業(yè)性質(zhì)的，也就是說(shuō)，他們通過(guò)播放節(jié)目或廣告賺錢(qián)。私人公司從這些商業(yè)臺(tái)購(gòu)買(mǎi)廣播或電視的時(shí)段給他們的產(chǎn)品做廣告。有線電視臺(tái)也屬于商業(yè)臺(tái)，雖然他們并不經(jīng)常播放廣告。為了收看有線電視，人們必須每個(gè)月都向有線電視公司交納一些錢(qián)。
不同的是，公共廣播臺(tái)和電視臺(tái)不播廣告，人們觀看時(shí)也無(wú)須付費(fèi)。這些廣播電視臺(tái)的資金來(lái)源是政府、私人企業(yè)，和他們節(jié)目的一部分聽(tīng)眾或觀眾。聯(lián)邦政府和一些大機(jī)構(gòu)會(huì)向公共廣播電視臺(tái)提供補(bǔ)貼和大量財(cái)物。小型的商業(yè)機(jī)構(gòu)或個(gè)人也會(huì)向當(dāng)?shù)氐墓矎V播和電視臺(tái)捐款。
【答案及解析】
26.A【解析】本題考查固定搭配。that's to say意為“那就是說(shuō)”，即換句話說(shuō)。此題中D項(xiàng)干擾性較大，讀者往往因which能引導(dǎo)非限定性定語(yǔ)從句而誤選D，但引導(dǎo)非限定性定語(yǔ)從句時(shí)，該從句應(yīng)為一個(gè)整體，即句中不能出現(xiàn)逗號(hào)。
27.B【解析】本題考查對(duì)上下文的理解。program的意思是“電視節(jié)目”，即商業(yè)廣播臺(tái)和電視臺(tái)通過(guò)播放節(jié)目或廣告賺錢(qián)。
28.B【解析】本題考查對(duì)上下文的理解。由句意可知，私人公司從這些商業(yè)臺(tái)購(gòu)買(mǎi)的只能是“時(shí)段”，time意為“時(shí)段”，符合文章。
29.D【解析】本題考查對(duì)上下文的理解。由句意可知，私人公司購(gòu)買(mǎi)商業(yè)臺(tái)的時(shí)段，是為了給自己的產(chǎn)品做廣告。此外，由下旬的“though theydon't usually have advertisements”也可推知此處應(yīng)填advertise，即“為…做廣告”。
30.C【解析】商業(yè)性電視臺(tái)與非商業(yè)性電視臺(tái)的區(qū)分是其是否出售其廣告時(shí)間或向電視觀眾征收費(fèi)用。由后文“…people must Pay the cableTV company a certain Rrnount of money…”可推知cable television stations仍為商業(yè)性電視臺(tái)。
31.A【解析】此句為目的狀語(yǔ)從句，D項(xiàng)也指“為了”，表示目的，但它往往位于句中，而不置于句首。in order to意為“為了”，常置句首。
32.B【解析】根據(jù)常識(shí)，看電視至少要按月交付收看費(fèi)用，其他三項(xiàng)均不合文章。
33.C【解析】On one hand…on the other hand為固定搭配，意為“一方面…另一方面”，On the otherhand也可單獨(dú)使用。
34.D【解析】此句是將“Public radio and televisionstations”與“commercial stations”進(jìn)行對(duì)比。商業(yè)臺(tái)需要付費(fèi)，公共臺(tái)是免費(fèi)的，可推出此處D最恰當(dāng)。
35.A【解析】從后一句的“and from some of the 36 whowatch or listen to their programs”可以推斷出，此處是并列結(jié)構(gòu)，應(yīng)該填介詞“from”。
36.D【解析】空格后who引導(dǎo)的定語(yǔ)從句是對(duì)空格所填選項(xiàng)的進(jìn)一步解釋。“who watch or listento their programs”的先行詞顯然為“audi-ences”。
37.B【解析】此短文介紹的是美國(guó)國(guó)內(nèi)廣播電視臺(tái)的情況。此處應(yīng)為the Federal Government，即“聯(lián)邦政府”。
38.C【解析】由上句可推知此句的句意為聯(lián)邦政府與一些大型企業(yè)撥款給這些公共電視臺(tái)，可知C為正確選項(xiàng)，grant意為“補(bǔ)助金”。
39.A【解析】本段主要講述公共電視臺(tái)和電臺(tái)的資金來(lái)源，部分為政府及大型企業(yè)的撥款，另一部分即為本句所涉及的來(lái)自small businessesand people的捐款。
40.B【解析】ABC、CBS和NBC為美國(guó)三大商業(yè)廣播電視臺(tái)。major意為“主要的，重要的”，詞意最為恰當(dāng)。
41.D【解析】由下句中的“…from one of these na-tional networks”可知ABC、CBS和NBC為美國(guó)的national networks，即“國(guó)家性的網(wǎng)絡(luò)”。
42.B【解析】本題考查對(duì)文章的理解，get A from B意為“由B處得到A”。
43.D【解析】本題考查固定搭配，for example意為“例如”。
44.A【解析】此空格前有一逗號(hào)，故知此句應(yīng)為which引導(dǎo)的非限制性定語(yǔ)從句。此處which代指前半句中的“a TV news program”，在后半句中充當(dāng)賓語(yǔ)。
45.C【解析】該句句意為地方臺(tái)除了播放他們自己的當(dāng)?shù)匦侣劰?jié)目，還播放來(lái)自這三大網(wǎng)絡(luò)的節(jié)目。兩句話是對(duì)比關(guān)系，所以應(yīng)該選own，意為“自身的”。

參考答案
“家庭”是一個(gè)釋義很靈活的詞語(yǔ)，在不同的國(guó)家它有著不同的含義。但是當(dāng)英國(guó)人說(shuō)他們的社會(huì)是建立在家庭生活上時(shí)，他們指的是狹義上的家庭，特別是對(duì)于歐洲人來(lái)說(shuō)，家庭指的就是爸爸、媽媽和孩子住在自己的房子里，家庭就是經(jīng)濟(jì)單位、社會(huì)單位。因此，對(duì)于每個(gè)英國(guó)人來(lái)說(shuō)，結(jié)婚就意味著獨(dú)立而嶄新的家庭生活開(kāi)始了，所以婚姻對(duì)于英國(guó)人來(lái)說(shuō)有著非比尋常的重要意義。無(wú)論是對(duì)于男人還是女人，結(jié)婚都意味著離開(kāi)自己的父母開(kāi)始單獨(dú)生活。丈夫的首要責(zé)任是照顧妻子，而妻子的首要責(zé)任是照顧丈夫。丈夫要全權(quán)負(fù)責(zé)妻子經(jīng)濟(jì)上的開(kāi)銷(xiāo)，妻子要操持整個(gè)新家。孩子是他們共同的責(zé)任，也只能是他們的責(zé)任。男女雙方的父母、兄弟、姐妹、姑姑和叔叔都不能干擾夫妻兩人的生活——他們是自己的主人。
讀過(guò)簡(jiǎn)·奧斯汀的小說(shuō)《傲慢與偏見(jiàn)》的人都知道，從前富裕人家的女孩的婚姻都是由她們的父母安排的。也就是說(shuō)，為女兒找個(gè)合適的、最好是有錢(qián)的夫君是父母的責(zé)任。他們會(huì)游說(shuō)那個(gè)年輕人主動(dòng)向他們女兒求婚。那個(gè)時(shí)代，女孩還被保護(hù)在父母的家中。把女兒嫁出去時(shí)，他們要給新婚夫婦經(jīng)濟(jì)補(bǔ)貼，即嫁妝。今時(shí)不同往日了�，F(xiàn)如今，大多數(shù)的女孩子畢業(yè)之后都有工作，且結(jié)婚之前經(jīng)濟(jì)獨(dú)立。這樣會(huì)導(dǎo)致兩種結(jié)果：女孩可以自己選擇丈夫，但是她也沒(méi)有了嫁妝。凡事都有兩面性，女孩兒獨(dú)立這件事也不例外。但這對(duì)于女孩子來(lái)說(shuō)也許是件好事情，因?yàn)樗齻兊纳鐣?huì)地位提高了，她們不再是父母和丈夫的附屬品。
答案及解析
46.B【解析】句意理解題。elastic意為“有彈性的，可伸縮的”。由后句可知，此句是說(shuō)家庭的釋義很靈活，在不同的國(guó)家它有不同的含義。
47.C【解析】細(xì)節(jié)題。答案見(jiàn)第一段“He will be en.Tirely responsible for her financial support，andshe for the running of the new home.”。
48.A【解析】細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)第一段最后一句，“男女雙方的父母、兄弟、姐妹、姑姑和叔叔都不能干擾夫妻兩人的生活——他們是自己的主人”可知家里一切事務(wù)都由夫妻二人自己決定。49.C【解析】推論題。第二段提到小說(shuō)《傲慢與偏見(jiàn)》中有對(duì)舊時(shí)代婚姻狀況的描寫(xiě)，這是當(dāng)時(shí)英國(guó)社會(huì)生活的一個(gè)方面。
50.D【解析】細(xì)節(jié)題。由最后一段可知，和以前相比，現(xiàn)在的女孩經(jīng)濟(jì)獨(dú)立，社會(huì)地位提高了。

參考譯文
史蒂維蘭特·莫里斯在美國(guó)是個(gè)家喻戶(hù)曉的名字。倘若你問(wèn)史蒂維蘭特·莫里斯，他會(huì)告訴你，失明并不一定是殘疾。史蒂維蘭特出生在20世紀(jì)50年代，是早產(chǎn)兒，在出生時(shí)就徹底失明了。他后來(lái)改名叫做史蒂維·旺德——作曲家、歌手、鋼琴家，獲得過(guò)10項(xiàng)格萊美獎(jiǎng)，賃借對(duì)音樂(lè)界所作出的突出貢獻(xiàn)而廣受贊譽(yù)。
當(dāng)史蒂維還是小孩子的時(shí)候，就學(xué)會(huì)了不要為力所不能及的事情困擾，而應(yīng)該集中精力做自己能做的事情。父母鼓勵(lì)他盡量同視力正常的哥哥們一塊參加活動(dòng)。他們幫助他訓(xùn)練聽(tīng)力，一般殘障人士對(duì)聽(tīng)覺(jué)非常依賴(lài)。
因?yàn)槁曇魧?duì)史蒂維來(lái)說(shuō)很重要，所以他小小年紀(jì)就開(kāi)始用各種聲音做實(shí)驗(yàn)。他會(huì)同時(shí)敲打很多東西，然后用嗓音模仿這些聲音。他還經(jīng)常用聲音來(lái)娛樂(lè)自己，唱歌、敲玩具鼓、吹玩具口琴、聽(tīng)收音機(jī)。
史蒂維很快就不再玩玩具樂(lè)器，而轉(zhuǎn)向真正的樂(lè)器。他首先學(xué)敲鼓，然后又學(xué)會(huì)了口琴和鋼琴。他加入了教堂的少年唱詩(shī)班并成為領(lǐng)唱。晚上和周末時(shí)，史蒂維就在鄰居家門(mén)前的走廊上演奏各種樂(lè)器并演唱流行歌曲和藍(lán)調(diào)。
史蒂維的一段演唱被羅尼·懷特聽(tīng)到了，他是一個(gè)叫做“奇跡”的流行樂(lè)隊(duì)的成員。羅尼馬上就注意到史蒂維的才華，并帶他到Hitsville USA的總裁倍瑞·格迪那兒去試唱。Hitsville USA那時(shí)是一家大型唱片錄制公司，現(xiàn)改名為摩頓。史蒂維在1962年12歲時(shí)錄制了第一首熱賣(mài)單曲《指尖》，而他剩下的故事已經(jīng)記載到音樂(lè)史中了。
答案及解析
51.B【解析】本文主要講述了史蒂維的音樂(lè)天賦，其他三個(gè)選項(xiàng)過(guò)于籠統(tǒng)。
52.A【解析】開(kāi)頭有“Ask Steveland Morris and he'lltell you that blindness is not necessarily disab-ling.”但該句只可以證明史蒂維的堅(jiān)強(qiáng)性格，并不能說(shuō)明那是童年時(shí)發(fā)生的事情，其他三個(gè)選項(xiàng)都能在第二段找到。
53.D【解析】該句的意思是“史蒂維很快就不再玩玩具樂(lè)器，而轉(zhuǎn)向真正的樂(lè)器�！�
54.C【解析】倍瑞·格迪是一家唱片公司的總裁，文中并未提及他幫助史蒂維建立了唱片公司，因此C項(xiàng)與文章內(nèi)容相悖。
55.D【解析】《指尖》是一首熱賣(mài)單曲，它使史蒂維從此走向了輝煌的音樂(lè)里程，該曲名同時(shí)也暗示了史蒂維雖然失明但仍然可以用指尖彈奏出美妙樂(lè)曲。

捕漁業(yè)的收入僅占全球經(jīng)濟(jì)的1%，但就地區(qū)經(jīng)濟(jì)來(lái)說(shuō)，它對(duì)人類(lèi)的生存作出了巨大貢獻(xiàn)。海洋捕漁業(yè)為世界人民供應(yīng)的蛋白質(zhì)要多于牛肉、家禽或是其他動(dòng)物資源。
.特別是捕漁業(yè)不需要占有土地，而且任何人都可以從事捕漁業(yè)，因此在發(fā)展中國(guó)家這常常是最后的職業(yè)選擇——人們別無(wú)選擇時(shí)就會(huì)去捕魚(yú)。全世界大約有2億人以捕魚(yú)為生。僅東南亞，就有5百多萬(wàn)人全天捕魚(yú)。在智利北部，40%的人靠海邊居住。過(guò)去，紐芬蘭的大部分工作都來(lái)自于捕漁業(yè)或是其相關(guān)服務(wù)業(yè)——一直到20世紀(jì)90年代初鱈魚(yú)產(chǎn)業(yè)的倒閉使得數(shù)以百萬(wàn)計(jì)的人失業(yè)。
雖然關(guān)于保護(hù)自然資源的爭(zhēng)論常常使工作和環(huán)境之間產(chǎn)生矛盾，但實(shí)際上，恢復(fù)魚(yú)類(lèi)數(shù)量反而會(huì)增加就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì)。美國(guó)國(guó)家海洋漁場(chǎng)服務(wù)中心的麥克爾·P·塞森偉恩和安德魯·A·羅森勃格估計(jì)，如果我們能使已滅絕的魚(yú)類(lèi)復(fù)活，從長(zhǎng)遠(yuǎn)來(lái)看，美國(guó)國(guó)民生產(chǎn)總值可增加大約80億美元。并新增大約30萬(wàn)個(gè)工作機(jī)會(huì)。如果魚(yú)類(lèi)數(shù)量恢復(fù)而且管理得法，全世界的年總捕魚(yú)量會(huì)增加大約2千萬(wàn)公噸。但是，要恢復(fù)生態(tài)平衡，維持財(cái)政收益和經(jīng)濟(jì)穩(wěn)定就得持續(xù)降低商業(yè)捕漁業(yè)的生產(chǎn)量，這樣整個(gè)魚(yú)類(lèi)的數(shù)量才能得以恢復(fù)。
捕漁業(yè)勞動(dòng)力的必要縮減并不一定以失業(yè)為代價(jià)。政府可以通過(guò)增加就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì)。將撥給高度商業(yè)化的捕魚(yú)船的補(bǔ)助金發(fā)放給漁民來(lái)減少對(duì)魚(yú)類(lèi)的壓力。每投資100萬(wàn)美元，工業(yè)化捕魚(yú)企業(yè)只需要增加1-5個(gè)人就夠了，而小規(guī)模的捕魚(yú)企業(yè)需要雇60-3，000人。工業(yè)化的捕魚(yú)產(chǎn)業(yè)會(huì)造成魚(yú)類(lèi)滅絕，這就會(huì)威脅到數(shù)以千萬(wàn)計(jì)的小規(guī)模捕魚(yú)的漁民，因?yàn)轸~(yú)類(lèi)是他們賴(lài)以生存的根本。
答案及解析
56.B【解析】首段即說(shuō)“Marine fisheries contributemore to the world's supply of protein than beef，poultry or any other animal source.”。
57.B【解析】由本段主旨句“Fishing typically doesnot need land ownership，and because it remains，generally，open to all，it is often the employer of last resort in the developing world”可推知“man can always turn to fishing for employment”。
58.D【解析】第三段引述了麥克爾·P·塞森偉恩和安德魯·A·羅森勃格關(guān)于restoration of fish popu-lations的論證，作者顯然是為了自己的觀點(diǎn)“therestoration of fish populations would in fact boostemployment”找理論證據(jù)。
59.C【解析】末段點(diǎn)明了keep the balance betweenjobs and the environment的方法。因?yàn)闄C(jī)械化捕魚(yú)需要的人少，而小規(guī)模的捕魚(yú)則需要大量漁民，所以減少使用機(jī)械化捕魚(yú)船既可以保證漁民就業(yè)，又可以減緩魚(yú)類(lèi)滅絕，增加國(guó)民收入。
60.A【解析】由59題的分析知選項(xiàng)A為最佳選項(xiàng)，
選項(xiàng)B、C、D違背文意。

下面是5個(gè)人對(duì)于“未來(lái)”的觀點(diǎn)保拉：
未來(lái)會(huì)怎樣取決于我們今天的行動(dòng)。當(dāng)我們意識(shí)到我們自己能夠創(chuàng)造未來(lái)，我們就承擔(dān)起了對(duì)未來(lái)的責(zé)任——未來(lái)并不是命運(yùn)或別的我們無(wú)法控制的力量強(qiáng)加給我們的。我們自己通過(guò)有所為和有所不為來(lái)創(chuàng)建未來(lái)。
約翰夫人：
將來(lái)會(huì)發(fā)生更多難以置信的事情。在未來(lái)，人們將能夠根據(jù)他們大腦電力活動(dòng)的強(qiáng)度來(lái)預(yù)測(cè)自己的表現(xiàn)�？巳R默博士發(fā)現(xiàn)人腦電力活動(dòng)的強(qiáng)度可以通過(guò)頭皮來(lái)測(cè)量。老板可以通過(guò)測(cè)量員工的頭皮斷定一個(gè)員工是否表現(xiàn)出色、工作努力或者疲勞過(guò)度從而無(wú)法很好地完成任務(wù)。
瑪麗：
在新世紀(jì)里，我們身邊會(huì)發(fā)生更加激動(dòng)人心的事情。據(jù)說(shuō)心臟的化學(xué)物質(zhì)受到刺激時(shí)會(huì)激起你對(duì)脂肪的欲望。也就是說(shuō)，對(duì)這種化學(xué)凝膠的干擾會(huì)導(dǎo)致吃得過(guò)多。薩拉·李波雛茲博士在一篇學(xué)術(shù)論文中指出，可以通過(guò)藥物抑制的影響來(lái)控制對(duì)高脂食物的食欲。
朱蒂：
未來(lái)我們的生活會(huì)發(fā)生顯著的改變。毫無(wú)疑問(wèn)，計(jì)算機(jī)將在我們的生活中發(fā)揮重要作用。你去看醫(yī)生的時(shí)候會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)醫(yī)生不會(huì)依靠書(shū)本，而是會(huì)通過(guò)電腦屏幕和可視信息做出診斷。你家中的電腦會(huì)就你的健康幫助你回答互動(dòng)性的問(wèn)題.而且能向你展示你的某種行為將產(chǎn)生的結(jié)果。
嘉麗：
將來(lái)，計(jì)算機(jī)會(huì)改變醫(yī)生診治病人的方法。而且醫(yī)生們會(huì)改變他們對(duì)藥的傳統(tǒng)定義。盡管有些西醫(yī)會(huì)開(kāi)緩解壓力、治療心臟病、抵制肥胖以及醫(yī)治其他危害病人生命的藥方，但現(xiàn)在大部分的醫(yī)生還是要求病人注重健康的生活方式，通過(guò)改善飲食和多做運(yùn)動(dòng)保持身體健康。
