The first part of a new science-fiction series (系列。﹚as shown on NBC last night. Star Trek is about a spacecraft(宇宙飛船)which travels faster than the speed of light. The show is developed from three ideas about the 22nd century. First, we’ll find other life forms great tools which will make amazing things possible.

Let’s think about these predictions. If we find life forms on other planets, will they be intelligent? I hope so. But we human beings might not be friendly – I don’t think we’ll believe in the idea o fpeace one hundred years from now. But this is science fiction, so we can be optimistic! And Star Trek’s idea of life in the future is ‘communicators’. And we will be ablt to have conversatins with people who are on because you’ll have an electronic notebook. And if you get ill, the doctor won’t have to examine you – a machine will ‘read’ your body. The strangest manchine includes a ‘teleport’ which will take people to a different placein a second!

The ideas are interesting, and in my opinion there’s only one problem with star trek: the acting. The TV company (公司)will have to get better actors. If they do that, the show might be a success. If the acting doesn’t improve, Star Trek won’t last for more than one series. Of course, my prediction may be wrong. I can’t see into the future!

1.What is Star Trek?

A. A TV play. B. A popular song.

C. A spacecraft. D. An alien.

2.What does the underlined word “optimistic” mean?

A. Lucky and happy.

B. Hopeful and confident.

C. Helpful and creative.

D. Thankful and popular.

3.What’s the writer’s opinion about Star Trek?

A. The life forms on other planets are stupid.

B. Interesting ideas make a new series popular.

C. The new series might not be successful without better actors.

4.Which would be the best title for the passage?

A. Aliens on Other Planets.

B. The Idea of Human Life.

C. A Science Fiction.

D. A New Series about Future.

My mother only had one eye. I never wanted her to show up at my school.

One day during primary school, I was terribly ill. My mother came.

“Your mom only has one eye!” yelled some of my classmates. I wished my mother would have just disappeared (消失).

“If you embarrass (使……尷尬) me, why don’t you just die?” I shouted at her, taking no notice of the sad look on her face. My mother just handed me some medicine and left without saying anything.

At that time, I didn’t think I had hurt her feelings very much. That night I saw my mom crying in her room. Even so, I hated her tears from one eye. I made a decision: I must study hard and leave my mother.

“My son ,I’m sorry I only have one eye. When you were little, you got into an accident and lost your eye. As a mom, I couldn’t stand watching you live with only one eye. So I gave you mine.
