It's 2035. You have a job ，a family and you're about 40 years old! Welcome to your

future life.

Getting ready for work, you pause in front of the mirror. “Turn red，” you say. Your

shirt changes from sky blue to deep red.Tiny preprogrammed electronics (智能电子元件) are

rearranged in your shirt to change its color. Looking into the mirror, you find it hard to

believe you're 40. You look much younger. With amazing advances in medicine, people in

your generation may live to be 150 years old.You're not even middleaged!

As you go into the kitchen and prepare to pour your breakfast cereal into a bowl, you

hear, “To lose weight, you shouldn't eat that ！ ” from your shoes. They read the tiny

electronic code(电子源码)on the cereal box to find out the nutrition details. You decide to

listen to your shoes. “Kitchen，what can I have for breakfast？”A list of possible foods

appears on the counter as the kitchen checks its food supplies.

“Ready for your trip to space ？ ” you ask your son and daughter. In 2015 only

specially trained astronauts went into space—and very few of them. Today anyone can go to

space for day trips or longer vacations. Your best friend even works in space.Handing your

children three strawberries each, you add, “The doctor says you need these for space

travel.” Thanks to medical advances, vaccination shots ( 防疫针 ) are a thing of the

past. Ordinary foods contain special vaccines. With the strawberries in their mouths ，the

kids head for the front door.

It's time for you to go to work. Your car checks your fingerprints and unlocks the

doors. “My office.Autopilot，”you command.Your car drives itself down the road and moves

smoothly into traffic on the highway.You sit back and unroll your enewspaper. The latest

news downloads and fills the viewer. Looking through the pages, you watch the news as video

film rather than read it.

“Dad, I need your help. Come here！” My 5yearold girl pulled me towards the computer.

“Dad, please buy everything I have in the Amazon shopping cart( 购物车). Here, take this

cash from my savings ！ ” The shopping cart showed ten items for a total of about 130

dollars. “Wait ！ ” I replied.“That's too much money! Why do you need all these

things？”“Please, Dad！These items will get here before Christmas. I have a surprise for

everyone.No peeking(偷看)！” she explained, and I bought everything.

A couple of days later, she got everything.I saw her then wrapping(包装) all her gifts.

“Can I help you ？ ” I asked.“No, Dad.I told you these are special surprises. No

peeking！” she replied.Her excitement was obvious.

The day came.She was all around her gifts, planning, protecting, arranging. Everything

had to be perfect. As soon as dinner was over, she jumped from her chair and took her

gifts. She went around giving each one of us her piece of love.These were small items, but

it was the meaning of giving her heart that we were really feeling.As she gave the gift to

each person, she watched the expression on our faces. Our smiles were her greatest

reward.Her last gift was for my 2yearold boy—a toy car. It was hard to describe my little

boy's delight at getting this gift! For several minutes, everyone's attention was focused

on watching him go all around the house happily.

Seeing these acts of my 5yearold helped me understand the power of giving—giving from

My husband and I had been married nearly twentytwo years when I acquired StevensJohnson

syndrome, a disorder where my immune system( 免疫系统 ) responded to a virus by producing

painful blisters( 水疱 ). Although my longterm evaluation was good, I, who had been so

fiercely independent, rapidly became absolutely helpless.

My husband, Scott, stepped up to the plate, taking care of kids and cooking dinners. He

also became my personal caretaker, applying the medicine to all of my blisters because my

hands couldn't do the job.Needless to say ， I had negative emotions, bouncing from

embarrassment to shame caused by total reliance on someone other than myself.

At one point when I had mentally and physically hit bottoms I remember thinking that

Scott must somehow love me more than I could ever love him. With my illness ，he had become

the stronger one, and I the weaker one.And this disturbed me.

I recovered from my illness, but I couldn't seem to recover from the thought that I

loved my husband less than he loved me.This seeming distinction in our love continued to

annoy me for the year following my illness.

Then recently Scott and I went on a long bike ride.He's an experienced cyclist; I'm

quite the green hand.At one point with a strong headwind and sharp pain building in my

tired legs, I really thought I couldn't go any further. Seeing me struggle, Scott pulled in

front of me and yelled over his shoulder，“Stay close behind me.”As I fell into the draft

of his sixfootthreeinch frame and followed his steps, I discovered that my legs quit

burning and I was able to catch my breath. My husband was pulling me along again. At this

very moment I woke up to what I now believe: during these and other tough times ，love has

the opportunity to become stronger when one partner learns to lean on the other.

I pray my husband will always be strong and healthy.But if he should ever become the

struggling one, whether on a bike ride or with an illness, I trust I'll be ready to call

out to him: Stay close behind me—my turn to pull you along.

9．What made the author feel helpless?

B．Her husband's caring for her too much.

D．Her suffering from illness and mental disorder.

C．Careercentered.

D．Independent but tired of negative emotions.

A．Followed her closely.

B．Gave in to her depression.

C．Backed her up all the way.

D．Stopped to take care of her.

plate” in Paragraph 2?

A．Moved into batting position.

B．Began to take the responsibility.

C．Walked to the kitchen.

Lise Meitner was born in Vienna, Austria on November 7, 1878. She was the third child

of eight children in the family. Her father Philipp, who was a lawyer, hired personal

teachers to teach the children, and she learned mathematics very well. Music was important

to the family, and all the children learned to play the piano. The Meitner children were

taught to listen to their parents, but to think for themselves.

When Lise Meitner finished school at the age of 14, she could not go to college for

higher education, as were all girls in Austria.But, inspired by the discovery of Henri

Becquerel, she was determined to study radioactivity (放射性)．

When she turned 21, women were finally allowed into Austrian universities.Meitner was

admitted into the University of Vienna; there she was excellent at math and physics and

earned her doctor's degree in 1906. She wrote to Marie Curie, but there was no room for her

in the Paris lab, so Meitner made her way to Berlin. There she worked with Otto Hahn, but

as an Austrian Jewish woman, she was excluded from the main labs and allowed to work only

in the basement.

In 1912, the pair moved to a new university and Meitner had better lab equipment.

Though Meitner was forced to escape Nazi Germany in 1938, they continued to cowork. Meitner

continued her work in Sweden and later they found the phenomenon “nuclear fission ( 核裂

变 )”. The discovery, which finally led to the atomic bomb, won Hahn the Nobel Prize in

1944. Meitner, ignored by the Nobel committee (委员会), refused to return to Germany after

the war and continued her atomic research in Stockholm into her 80s.

13．What do we know about Lise Meitner's childhood?

A．She received a good education.

B．She often went against her parents.

C．She showed a great talent for music.

D．She lived a hard life with her family.
