（基因gene） My Idea of Future Life
阅读下面的短文，根据短文后的要求答题（请注意问题后的字数要求）。 [1] When I was in primary school , I got into an argument with a boy in my class . I have forgotten what the argument was about , but I have never forgotten the lesson learned that day . [2] I was convinced that “ I ” was right and “ he ” was wrong－and he was just as convinced that and “ he ” was right . The teacher decided to teach us a very important lesson . She brought us up to the front of the class and placed him on one side of her desk and me on the other . [3] In the middle of her desk was a large , round object . I could clearly see that it was black . She asked the boy what color the object was . “ White , ” he answered . [4] I couldn’t believe he said the object was white , when it was obviously black ! Another argument started between my classmate and me , this time about the color of the object . [5] The teacher told me to go to stand where the boy was standing and told him to come to stand where I had been . We changed places , and now she asked me what the color of the object was . I had to answer , “ White .” it was an object with two differently colored sides , and from his viewpoint it was white . Only from my side was it black . [6] My teacher taught me a very important lesson that day : You must stand in the other persons’ shoes and look at the situation through their eyes in order to truly understand their perspective（看法）. 1.What is the main idea of the text ?

“ I’d like to be at a healthier weight , ” a friend told me . “ But we just don’t have the money to buy expensive diet foods and there isn’t enough money to join a gym .” Many people feel that way—that a healthy diet and exercise plan is out of reach because of their high cost . Don’t lose hope ! We’ll be looking at ways to make healthy choices without spending too much money . First you don’t need to buy the expensive pre-prepared “ diet foods . ” Back in the early 1970s when I started housekeeping , 90% of the food I bought was ingredients . Very few things were preprocessed（预处理的）. Now 90% of the food you find in the store is quick food . That’s a bad thing . Quick foods like boxed “ just add hamburger ” meals have had the fiber removed to make them faster to prepare . Take a look at the label on that box . It often has low numbers listed under “ fiber ” because fiber takes longer to digest . If the low fiber meal is digested , the result is that your body begins to store fat . Besides , your body is short of nutrients（营养物质）. You will be driven to eat more to try to make up for the low quality of the food you are eating . And then there are the chemicals the producers add to the quick meals to make them palatable . If not , the stuff would taste like cardboard and you wouldn’t enjoy it . However , these chemicals certainly aren’t good for your health . What’s the answer ? Buy whole ingredients and give up the expensive , low nutrition , processed foods . Do the cooking yourself and you will have control over what is in your food —and it will cost less , too . 1.People who find it hard to get a healthier weight think .
2. The author doesn’t like quick food mainly because .
3.The underlined word “ palatable ” in Paragraph 4 probably means “ ”.

As computers become more popular in China , Chinese people are increasingly relying on computer keyboards to input Chinese characters .

Experts suggest people , especially students , write by hand more . Do you write by hand more or type more ? In Beijing , students start using a computer as early as primary school . And computer dependence is more widespread among university students . Almost all their assignments and essays are typed on a computer . All the students interviewed say they usually use a computer . It’s faster and easier to correct if using a computer . And that’s why computers are being applied more and more often to modern education .

Now that it’s more convenient and efficient to write on a computer , why bother to handwrite ? Many educators think differently . Shi Liwei , the headmaster of a famous primary school in the capital said “ Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic（审美的）value . But those characters typed with computer keyboards only maintain their practical value . All the artistic beauty of the characters is lost . And handwriting contains the writer’s emotion . Through one’s handwriting , people can get to know one’s thinking and personality . Beautiful writing will give people a better first impression of them .” To encourage students to handwrite more , many primary schools in Beijing have made writing classes compulsory（必修的）and in universities , some professors are asking students to turn in their homework and essays written by hand . 1.Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage ?
