things have changed and life is very different.
Voyages to the moon are being made every day. It is as easy to take a holiday on the moon today as it was for the people in 1960 to take a holiday in Europe. At a numher of scenic spots on the moon, many
hotels have been built. The hotels are air-conditioned, naturally. In order that everyone can enjoy the
beautiful scenery on the moon, every room has at least one picturewindow. Everything imaginable is provided for entertainment(娱乐) of young and old.
What are people eating now? People are still eating food. They haven"t yet started to take on heir
(继承) supply of energy directly as electrical current or as nuclear power. They may some day. But many
foods now come in pill form, and the food that goes into the pill continues to come mainly from green plants.
Since there are several times as many people in the world today as there were a hundred years ago,
most of our planet"s surface has to be filled. The deserts are irrigated with water and pests no longer
destroy crops. The harvest is always good.
Farming, of course, is very highly developed. Very few people have to work On the farm. It is possible to run the farm by just pushing a few buttons now and then.
People are now largely vegetarians(素食者). You see, as the number of people increases, the number of animals decreases. Therefore, the people have to be vegetarians and we are healthier both in our bodies and in our minds, and we know the causes and cure of disease and pain, and it is possible to get rid of
diseases. No one has to be ill any more,
Such would be our life in 2060.

achievement is the result of gruelling hard work and intense practice.Usually athletes say how hard it
is to win the big games.At the opposite end of the spectrum,however,is the fact that losing the big game,
or,in my case,all the games,can be even tougher.
From the spectators’ point of view,last year’s basketball season for my high school team was nothing
short of an embarrassment.And while 0 and 20 is certainly nothing to be proud of,that season had a bigger
impact on me than any other,and probably more than any season since.
As a team captain,I knew it probably wouldn’t be the easiest year,but did I ever think we would
lose every game? Of course not.Since six of our top players had graduated,it was clear that we were a
young team who would struggle.The struggle began earlier than expected,though,as our team’s starting
center was suspended for the season,and two key members decided to quit after two weeks.At some
point,quitting probably passed through every player’s mind,but,in the end,we all stuck it out,vowing to
work even harder.
Then there came a time when even our own coach had given up on us.Personally，I felt like it was
no longer worth giving my all.I thought,if even the coach doesn’t believe in us,why should I? But just as
my hope began to fade,a teammate called a meeting. He said,“Nobody thinks we’re going to win,and
heck,we may not,but,as teammates and friends,we_owe_it_to_each_other_to_give_it_our_allevery_
game.”
Sure,it was a little cliche (陈旧的),but it was that moment that taught me how to be a leader.It hit me
then that I may have been a captain,but I,like others in my position,certainly didn’t deserve the role.As a
leader you can never quit on the team who looks up to you.It is one thing to be named captain and feel
great and go through the motions,but it is quite another to be a real captain and make sure everyone works to their potential all the time.
I am sure it is great to go through high school without losing and bringing home awards.But in all
honesty,I relish the fact that my team lost every game last year.It may not help me to become a better
basketball player,but it already has made me a better leader,and person.
B．Their coach no longer wanted to instruct them.
C．There were no actual leaders on the team.
D．Most of players lost hope and wanted to quit.

C．work hard to win the games

B．A friend in need is a friend indeed.
C．One can learn something from the failure.

Do you know how to be happy? Here are six ways for you to find more pleasure in your life. Play that song you love so much. As a preschooler can tell you, repetition can lead to pleasure.
When you experience something more than once, you notice more details about it each time, and it
increases your enjoyment. That"s why you love revisi ting that jazz club, favourite restaurant, and
beloved old Woody Allen movie. Of course, you can overdo it.
Don"t buy boxed sets of DVDs. Economist(经济学家) Tyler says that much of the joy we get
from our buying lies in the experience of finding them out, getting them home, and opening them up.
If you receive 18 DVDs in one package, you"ll use up the excitement all at once. Buy things one a time
and space out the pleasure.
Look outside. People long ago spent almost all of their time outside with trees, water, and sky
around. The world in which most of us spend our time nowadays is unnatural and can harm the spirit.
Even being close to nature for a short time can make us happy. ________. Physical contact with
animals works wonders. You can pet an animal. It increases the brain chemicals connected with
pleasure and decreases those connected with stress(压力). Even people without pets can get some
of the effect by hanging out for a few minutes at a dog shelter.

when you look happy, which in turn leads you to be happy. What"s more, looking happy fools your

Helpful(l)_ for a Happy Air Journey
stop watching TV for either a week or a month.Many could not complete the task and some families
quarrelled or even fought.It was quite interesting and now I will say something about TV.
After TV became a product most families could afford, people bought and started to watch their new
TVs.Both adults and children became less creative in problem solving, less able to focus on tasks, and
less tolerant of flexible time.
In my family, we grew up with the TV on.Every weekend, we watched Gun Smoke and Bonanza
together as a family.TV provides us with a comfortable background when we want to learn a foreign
language at home, and it entertains us cheaply with live action sports, incomparable performing arts and
important events of the world.In addition, it educates us about everything from the cells in our body to
the galaxies in the universe.
Perhaps it"s not even practical to live without television unless our views change unexpectedly as we
get older.I don"t think that TV damages us so much as it robs us of time that could be spent doing other
things such as learning new skills, getting some exercise or doing volunteer work.
I was lucky to have a family that watched TV together.Today there seems to be a TV in every room
of the house and there"s no need to agree on a program to watch.To watch TV or not is more of a
question for adults than for us, and even though we all say we want to cut down the time we spend in
front of the tube, we never really do.TV_has_us_hypnotized!
