Kurzweil is an inventor with some interesting ideas on how humans will soon be able to live much longer than the average（平均）78 years they do now．
The first challenge is how to stop our bodies from getting old and dying． Kurzweil doesn’t see this as a problem． With gene technology we’ll soon be able to “turn off” genes that cause ageing and disease．
This technology is getting cheaper and better． Kurzweil believes that from 2022, we’ll be adding more than a year to the average life．
Of course, if we’re all going to live longer, then there are going to be more of us on this already overcrowded（过度拥挤的） Earth． Many people think there are likely to be problems with resources such as food and energy． Kurzweil doesn’t agree． He says that the same technologies used to increase （提升） our lifetime will also be used to help with food production and energy needs． For example, he says, sunlight can give us 10, 000 times more energy than we really use now． We just need to develop the technology to make better use of it and make it cheaper． There are also new technologies that can recycle water cheaply． This means that dirty water can be made clean again at a very low cost． When you think that 80% of disease in the developing world is because of dirty water, you can see how this technology might help change the world．
But what are we going to do with all this extra time? Won’t we all get bored? Again Kurzweil says “no”． For a start, we won’t be stuck in old bodies． We’ll stay young for years． This will mean we’ll be able to try many more things than we can now．
The future according to Ray Kurzweil looks good—and we might just be around to see it．
25． What is Ray Kurzweil’s main idea about the future?
A． We can find more ways to have fun． B． We can live much longer than before．
C． We can buy food and drinks cheaply． D． We can live in a good environment．
26． How long may we live in 2050, according to the passage?
A． 210． B． 78． C． 106． D． 128．
27． What is Kurzweil’s plan to solve the problems with resources?
A． People should save energy as possible． B． People will get clean water from the sea．
C． People will pay a lot to get more sunlight． D． People can develop technology to help．
28． From what kind of book can we most likely find this passage?
A． A science book． B． A language book． C． A romantic novel． D． A science fiction．
D
Fizza was standing in the middle of a field． Cloudy was on one side of her and Golden was on the other．
“Right,” said Fletcher． “First! You have to get on — like this!” And with a simple little jump, he climbed onto Golden．“Now, you try．”
Nervously, Fizza held onto Cloudy’s leather straps (缰绳) and kicked her leg high in the air． Unluckily, at that moment, Cloudy moved and Fizza fell to the ground． Fletcher laughed and laughed． It looked like he was going to fall off his horse．
“Here, let me help you,” he said, putting out his hand to help her get up．
Fizza was a bit unhappy at being laughed at and refused to take it at first．
“Oh come on!” he said． “Hold the saddle (马鞍), lift your right leg up and over．”
Now, Fizza was sitting on top of Cloudy． Fletcher quickly jumped back on Golden．

“Is he crazy? I can’t do that!” she thought．
However, as Fletcher reached the edge of the field, he turned Golden round and came back to her． “Why didn’t you follow me?” he said, laughing．
“I’m not like you! I can’t ride like a cowboy!” she said．
“I can’t believe you’ve never ridden before． So what do you do in Birmingham (伯明翰)?”
“I spend my time on my computer, and I go to the shops at the Bullring sometimes．”
“The Bullring?”
“It’s a shopping centre．”
“Oh, I see,” said Fletcher, who couldn’t understand why anyone would want to go shopping if it wasn’t for horse food．
For the next two hours Fletcher McIntyre patiently taught Fizza McIntyre how to ride a horse． Once, when Cloudy went a bit too fast, Fizza became very scared．
“I can’t stop!”she cried out． “I can’t stop!”
Quickly, Fletcher came after her, took Cloudy’s straps and stopped her． He could see that she was crying．
“It’s OK, Fizza．” he said kindly． “You’re doing really well — I won’t let you get hurt． I promise．” And Fletcher kept his promise． Very gently and patiently, he taught Fizza how to ride．

C． It was hard to understand Fizza’s activities． D． It was great that he could shop for horse food．
