Human being didn't used locals for a very long time.In some parts of the world you can still find tools that people used more than two million years ago.They made these tools by hitting one stone against another.In this way，they broke off pieces from one of the stones.These chips of stone were usually sharp on one side.People used them for cutting meat and skin from dead animals，and also for making other tools out of wood.Human beings needed to use tools because they did not have sharp teeth like other meat-eating animals much as lions and tigers.Tools.helped people to get food more easily.
   Working with tools also helped to develop human intelligence.The human brain grew bigger，and human beings began to invent more and more tools and machines.The stone chip was one of the first tools that people used，and perhaps it is the most important.Some scientists say that it was the key to success of mankind.
   Since 1960，a new kind of tool has appeared.This is the silicon chip（硅芯片）.It is smaller than a finger nail，but it can store lots of information，It is an electronic brain.Every year these chips get clever，but their size gets smaller，and their cost gets less.They are used in watches，calculators and intelligent machines that we can use in many ways.In the future we will not need to work with tools in the old way.Machines will do everything for us.People will have plenty of spare time.But what will they do with it？
   Human beings used stone chips for more than two million years，but human life changed very little in that time.But now life is changing faster every day.What will life be like twenty years from now？What will the world be like two million years from now？

1．Humans are naturally drawn to other life forms and the worlds outside of our own．We take delight in the existence of creatures and even whole societies beyond our everyday lives．
   This sense of wonder is universal．Look at the efforts that scientists have made to find out whether life of some kind exists on Mars，and the popularity of fantasy literature or movies like The Lord of the Rings．This sense of wonder draws us to each other，to the world around us，and to the world of make-believe．But have we gone so far in creating worlds of fantasy that we are missing the pleasure of other worlds that already exist all around us？
   Human beings，as biologists have suggested，possess an inborn desire to connect with and understand other life forms．However，people，especially in big cities，often lead rather isolated lives．In a study of British schoolchildren，it was found that children by age eight were much more familiar with characters from television shows and video games than with common wildlife．Without modern technology，a small pond could be an amazing world filled with strange and beautiful plants，insects，birds，and animals．When we lack meaningful interaction（交互） with the world around us，and sometimes even with our families and friends，we seek to understand and communicate with things that exist only in our imaginations or on a computer screen．
   The world of make-believe is not necessarily bad．But when the world of fantasy becomes the only outlet（出路） for our sense of wonder，then we are really missing something．We are missing a connection with the living world．Other wonderful worlds exist all around us．But even more interesting is that if we look closely enough，we can see that these worlds，in a broad sense，are really part of our own．

（1）The popularity of The Lord of the Rings proves

A．the close connection between man and the fantasy world
B．the wonderful achievements of fantasy literature
C．the fine taste of moviegoers around the world
D．the general existence of the sense of curiosity
（2）What can we infer from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3？

A．People are far less familiar with the world of fantasy．
B．The world around us could serve as a source of wonder．
C．The world of fantasy can be mirrored by a small and lively pond．
D．Modern technology prevents us from developing our sense of wonder．
（3）If our sense of wonder relies totally on the world of make-believe，we will

．
A．fail to appreciate the joy in our lives
B．be confused by the world of make-believe
C．miss the chance to recognize the fantasy world
D．be trapped by other worlds existing all around us
（4）What is the main purpose of the passage？

A．To show us the hidden beauty in our world．
B．To warn us not to get lost in the fantasy world．
C．To argue against the misuse of the sense of wonder．
D．To discuss the influence of the world of make-believe．

2．Beijing- The public has responded with vigorous support for an NPC deputy's proposal to extend the Spring Festival holiday from three days to 10.
   More than 78 percent of about 27，600 respondents to a poll on voted in favor of the idea of Li Jing，who is also the mayor of Meishan city in South-west China's Sichuan province.Li said the lunar new year festival holiday was too short for family reunions，especially for the nation's 220 million migrant workers.
   With hundreds of millions of people on the move during such a short time span，the holiday puts great stress on the public transport system and suppresses tourism，she added.She suggested the holiday be extended and cover the three adjacent（毗連的）weekends，which means the public could take a total of 16 days off and floating population could spend the Lantern Festival，which falls on the 15th day of the lunar new year，with their families.
   People would then have sufficient time to fully enjoy the traditional holiday with their families，Li said during an interview with People's Daily Online on Friday.
   Most online voters agreed that extending the holiday will ease the burden on public transport and strengthen family ties. "The Spring Festival is an occasion for family reunions and should be longer than the National Day holiday，" one responder said in an online post. "Every year，I wish I could spend more time at home for the Spring Festival，but I always have to go back to work.I hope the NPC will approve this proposal. "
   Another online comment read： "Extending the Spring Festival holiday could prevent the annual transportation crush，which has in recent years resembled an exodus（出走）of fleeing refugees（難民）".
   Most of the about 13 percent who opposed the idea cited difficulties readjusting to work after the break.Some pointed out that office moral （士氣）was generally low during the first week after the holiday. "After the six-day holiday，many people come back to work feeling absent-minded， " one respondent said.Some who opposed the extension suggested adding the Lantern Festival as an official holiday.
