Turn on the TV or check the news online and it seems to be one 11 after another. 12 when we do get a glimp
7、se of 13 news, it attracts our eyes right up. Like just recently, there was a science article online about 14 and how they prepare delicious meals. I went right for it. I was really 15 about what was happening out there in the ocean. It was a short break from the 16 news which we really dont want to
8、 know about. In an attempt to write more 17 articles, the media sometimes give us a glimpse of what I call, almost news.

10、 breaks from all that negative reality. Theres another form of reporting thats extremely 24 and its neither positive nor negative. Its 25 news. A possible problem is 26 , such as a volcano in Alaska thats expected to erupt. Scientists at the volcano center in Alaska had been monitoring a series of 2
11、7 under the volcano. The residents, being warned as a good news report will do, were buying up breathing masks and air filters for their homes.

16、sts visit Pompeii, Italy. They see the sights that Pompeii is famous forits stadium and theatres, its shops and restaurants. The tourists do not, however, see Pompeiis people.

17、usy city of 22000 people. It lay at the foot of Mount Vesuvius, a grass-covered volcano. Mount Vesuvius had not erupted for centuries, so the people of Pompeii felt safe. But they were not. In August of AD 79, Mount Vesuvius erupted. The entire top of the mountain exploded, and a huge black cloud ro
18、se into the air. Soon stones and hot ash began to fall on Pompeii. When the eruption ended two days later, Pompeii was buried under 20 feet of stones and ashes. Almost all of its people were dead. For centuries, Pompeii lay buried under stone and ash. Then, in the year 1861, an Italian scientist nam
19、ed Ginseppe began to uncover Pompeii. Slowly, carefully, Ginseppe and his men dug. The city looked almost the same as it had looked in AD 79. There were streets and fountains, houses and shops. There was a stadium with 20000 seats. Perhaps the most important of all, there were everyday objects, whic
20、h tell us a great deal about the people who lived in Pompeii. Many glasses and jars had some dark blue colour in the bottom, so we know that the people of Pompeii liked wine.

21、of bread that is still sold in Italy today. Tiny boxes filled with a dark, shiny powder tell us that women liked to wear eye-makeup. Ginseppe has died, but his work continues. One-fourth has not been uncovered yet. Scientists are still digging, still making discoveries that draw the tourists to Pomp

They went back to Pompeii after the eruption in AD 79.BOlaf Stapledon wrote a book called First and Last Men, in which he looked millions of years ahead. He told of different men and of strang
26、e civilizations(文明), broken up by long “dark ages” in between. In his view, what is called the present time is no more than a moment in human history and we are just the First Men. In 2,000 million years from now there will be the Eighteenth or Last Men.However, most of our ideas about the future ar
27、e really very short-sighted. Perhaps we can see some possibilities for the next fifty years. But the next hundred? The next thousand? The next million? Thats much more difficult.When men and women lived by hunting 50,000 years ago, how could they even begin to picture modern life? Yet to men of 50,0
28、00 years from now, we may seem as primitive in our ideas as the Stone-Age hunters do to us. Perhaps they will spend their days gollocking to make new spundels, or struggling with their ballalators through the cribe. These words, which I have just made up, have to stand for things and ideas that we s
29、imply cant think of.So why bother even to try imagining life far in the future? Here are two reasons. First, unless we remember how short our own lives are compared with the whole human history, we are likely to think our own interests are much more important than they really are. If we make the ear
30、th a poor place to live because we are careless or greedy(贪婪) or quarrelsome, our grandchildren will not bother to think of excuses for us.Second, by trying to escape from present interests and imagine life far in the future, we may arrive at quite fresh ideas that we can use ourselves. For example,
31、 if we imagine that in the future men may give up farming, we can think of trying it now. So set you imagination free when you think about the future.35.A particular mention made of Stapledons book in the opening paragraph _.A. serves as a description of human history B. serves an introduction to th
32、e discussionC. shows a disagreement of views D. shows the popularity of the book36.The text discusses men and women 50,000 years ago and 50,000 years from now in order to show that _.A. human history is extremely long B. life has changed a great dealC. it is useless to plan for the next 50 years D.
33、it is difficult to tell what will happen in the future37.Spundels and ballalators are used in the text to refer to _.A. tools used in farming B. ideas about modern lifeC. unknown things in the future D. hunting skills in the Stone Age38.According tothe writer of the text, imagining the future will _
34、.A. serve the interests of the present and future generations B. enable us to better understand human historyC. help us to improve farming D. make life worth livingCThe easy way out isnt always easiest.
