It is December 25th, 2050. The people in the city are all celebrating Christmas. I’m the mayor of our city. My citizens and I are holding a big party under the sea, though you wouldn’t believe it. But please do not feel excited, you should feel sad because we have to live under the sea. Because of the pollution, the earth has been completely destroyed, from top to bottom. The atmosphere has no oxygen and moisture. As a result, the plants are burned by the strong sunlight with a great number of harmful rays. Of course, none of them are still alive. Not only no green, but also the temperature reaches about 121℃ all day even in winter because there is too much CO2 circling the earth.
On the land, there is no life. Luckily, the sea is not destroyed by human. So, we have to move into the sea. At the bottom of the water, people have built many new cities. There is a lot of advanced(高深的，先进的) equipment in each city. Computers are used to control all the machines, even the people’s life. We can also make the seawater into fresh water. There are two machines making oxygen. If they stop working for only one minute, more than 10 million people will die.
The population of our city is over 30 million and, of course, it is quite crowded. We have lots of high buildings and bridges. The roads are wide, too. Our cars are small UFOs, don’t be surprised, it is true. At the bottom of the sea you can’t see anything, because there is no light all day. However, we have advanced lighting equipment so that we can see the “sun” under the sea. Of course, the advanced lighting equipment is very expensive. And if it doesn’t work, we can see nothing under the sea. What should we do then?

Have you ever complained why life is so tiring? Does the sky sometimes seem dark to you? Are your studies sometimes not successful? Well, friend, cheer up and smile all the time．If you see the world with your warm heart, you"ll find that the whole world smiles to you．
While in school, sometimes you are tired of your lessons, but have you ever noticed the happy smile on your teacher"s face when you did a good job?
One day it is fine．Just before you want to go out, it suddenly starts to rain．Maybe you would feel very sad and start complaining about the weather．But dear friends, why don"t you sit down and listen to the free concert that the nature offers you?

“People so often take out their cameras almost mindlessly to catch a moment, to the point that they are missing what is happening right in front of them,” Henkel and her team decided to perform an experiment. They wanted to find out whether taking photos in a museum weakened(减弱) a visitor’s memory of what they had seen. So they simply told a group to look around the museum, and either take photos of the items on display, or try to remember what they had seen. In addition(另外), the amount(数量) of detail(细节) they remembered was worse than those who didn’t take photos. “These results show how the mind’s eye and the camera’s eye are not the same,” said Henkel.
But don’t put your camera down just yet. Other studies have found that looking back at old photos helps us remember an event, compared to just taking a photo and forgetting about it. So next time you’re thinking of taking a photo, just think: is it better to look at the beauty around you with your own eyes, or behind the eye of the camera?
小题1: When we take photos, we _________.| A．fail to focus on the event itself | | B．can’t record the details | | C．remember what we have seen | | D．are likely to have a poor memory |
小题2:Which of the following is NOT true about the experiment?| A．People who didn’t take photos did better in the experiment. | | B．They asked a group to try to remember what they had seen. | | C．The experiment aimed to learn what people were interested in at the museum. | | D．People who took photos in the museum could remember less details. |
小题3:According to the passage, we’d better _________.| A．never use our cameras | | B．remember an event by heart | | C．always remember an event with the help of a camera | | D．see everything only with our own eyes |
小题4:What do the results of the experiment show us?| A．The mind’s eye and the camera’s eye are not the same. | | B．People remember happiest moments by taking photos. | | C．Looking back at old photos helps us remember an event. | | D．People don’t like taking photos. |
小题5:Where can we probably read this passage?| A．The entrance of a museum. | | B．A guidebook on how to take good pictures. | | C．An instruction of how to use a camera. | | D．A scientific report. |
