Many people would like to be able to travel backwards and forwards in time. They would like to go back in history    30    what life was like many years ago. Some want to change a bad thing that happened in the past, such as an accident or a mistake. Others want to talk to relatives who lived a long time    31    they were born.

What picture do you have of the future? Will life in the future be better, worse or the same as now? What do you hope about the future?

Scientists think that life will    34    be very different in 2050. First of all, it seems that TV channels will have disappeared by 2050. People,    35   , will choose a programme from a menu and a computer will send the programme directly to the television.

Then, new TV will have arrived. Pictures shown on TV will have height, width and depth. By 2050, we will be able to see,    36    and touch the things that we see on television.

Water will have become one of our most serious problems. In many places, agriculture(农业) is    37    and people are growing fruit and vegetables. This uses a lot of water. The amount of water needed will increase ten times between now and 2050.

In transport, cars will run on new,    38    fuels (燃料) and they will go very fast. Cars will have computers to control the speed and there won’t be any accidents. By 2050, the computer will drive your car wherever you want.

Cut down your w    68   . Instead of all your junk food, eat healthy snacks. Spring is also a great time to begin exercising.

Go to a museum, play or concert. These events will broaden your view and feed your mind.

E. Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）：（共10分）

Happy childhood

       Today while I was sitting comfortably and enjoying the warm summer heat in the backyard (后院) of my office building, I couldn’t help thinking of my happy childhood moments spent in the backyard of my father’s office.

    At that time, my mother always had to work during the weekends, and then I spent most of my weekends alone with my father. However, sometimes he got some important work to deal with during his day off. Therefore, I had to go with him back to his office and wait for him until he finished his work.

    Most of the time I liked to be in the office backyard to collect the dry branches (树枝) and leaves that had fallen to the ground and use them to build my own so-called tree house. I imagined that this tree house could be as strong as a real building to protect me from any bad weather.

    In fact, whenever it really started to rain, I always ran back into my father’s office. At this moment, my father could always magically take out a big box of candies from one of his drawers (抽屉) and put it in front of me. I still remember the taste of those candies. They tasted very sweet and their taste was unforgettable. Now I have grown up into an adult. I understand that the candies tasted better at that time because I had a lot of childhood fun. Now I own a real house and we have a beautiful yard at the back, but I will never forget my happy moments with my so-called tree house.

76.   Where was the writer’s mom at most of the weekends?

77.   Why did the writer have to go to his father’s office for the weekend?

     Because his father didn’t want ______________________________________.

78.   How did the writer spend his time in the office backyard while waiting for his father?

      ________________________________ with dry branches and leaves.

79.   Where did the writer stay, in his tree house or his father’s office when it rained?

80.   What makes the writer’s childhood so happy and special?
