A long time ago, people were very different from the way we are now. Over time, the human body changes to adapt to(适应) a new way of life. Can we expect the human body to change in the future? For sure. The development of technology is changing how we live. What kind of changes can we expect?
In the future, people will probably be even taller. Most of us now have much better food than people in the past and we grow more. However, our muscles will not be as strong as now because we won’t do a lot of physical work.
We are already using our feet less, and our hands more. So we can expect that our legs will get shorter and our feet smaller, and at the same time, our fingers will get longer. And our fingers and our eyes will both get better because they’ll have to do more work together.
It’s very possible that people will have four toes, not five. The little toe really isn’t needed any more, so it will probably disappear(消失) sometime in the future.
Now, what about the mouth? It’ll get smaller, perhaps, because technology improvement will mean that we don’t need to talk so much, and also because our teeth will get smaller.
Last but not least, people won’t have much hair on their bodies as now, as we don’t need it to keep ourselves warm any more.
Will all these things happen? If so, when? These are questions no one can answer for sure.

A. give some advice B. dig the topic

Zibo city in Shandong province has stormed the Internet since late February for its local barbecue (烧烤). In March, the small city received about 4. 8 million tourists. It is certainly not the only city that offers barbecue, or even the most famous one, but its seemingly sudden fame was steps in the making.
Zhou Maosong, president of Zibo Tourism Promotion Association said the popularity (流行,受欢迎) started from the crowd-gathering effect of cultural and tourism activities including a music festival. Then famous people tasted the barbecue and put their experiences online attracting young people, which led to a wave of students from neighbouring cities visiting Zibo. What better way to attract adventurous (爱冒险的) and hungry college students other than “tasty barbecue that makes you full within only 50 yuan!”
However, Zibo did not fall into the trap (陷阱) of easy fame that dies fast where sellers cheat buyers on price and quality for the most profit (盈利) in the shortest time. A blogger on Douyin took an electronic scale (电子秤) to ten barbecue stands in Ziboto test if he would be offered less food. It turned out that not a single one was caught short of weight and some owners even offered him local snacks for free. Local people’s honest and friendly behaviour touched even more people online and again lifted the city’s popularity.
Zibo’s successful story has inspired governments in other parts of the country to find their ways of supporting local businesses.

The two boys, Tom and Huck, were very frightened because they worried about being found by Injun Joe and his friend. Through the hole in the floor, the two boys upstairs saw the men eat and talk. Then the men were tired and fell asleep. Tom and Huck lay there for a very long time.
Finally, the two men woke up and lifted up a stone in the ground and took out some money they had stolen. Then Injun Joe lifted up another stone and found a box.
“What’s this?” Injun Joe asked.

A long time ago, people were very different from the way we are now. Over time, the human body changes to adapt to(适应) a new way of life. Can we expect the human body to change in the future? For sure. The development of technology is changing how we live. What kind of changes can we expect?
In the future, people will probably be even taller. Most of us now have much better food than people in the past and we grow more. However, our muscles will not be as strong as now because we won’t do a lot of physical work.
We are already using our feet less, and our hands more. So we can expect that our legs will get shorter and our feet smaller, and at the same time, our fingers will get longer. And our fingers and our eyes will both get better because they’ll have to do more work together.
It’s very possible that people will have four toes, not five. The little toe really isn’t needed any more, so it will probably disappear(消失) sometime in the future.
Now, what about the mouth? It’ll get smaller, perhaps, because technology improvement will mean that we don’t need to talk so much, and also because our teeth will get smaller.
Last but not least, people won’t have much hair on their bodies as now, as we don’t need it to keep ourselves warm any more.
Will all these things happen? If so, when? These are questions no one can answer for sure.
39. The underlined sentence in paragraph 1 is to ________.
A. give some advice B. dig the topic
C introduce the following parts D. show the writer’s worry
40. Why may people in the future be taller? ________
A. They will do less physical work.
B. They will have better food to eat.
C. Their legs will get longer and longer.
D. Their muscles will be much stronger.
41. Which of the body parts might get smaller according to the passage? ________
①feet ②hands ③fingers ④mouth
A. ①② B. ②③ C. ①④ D. ③④
42. What’s the passage mainly about? ________
A. Future life. B. Body changing.
C. Unknown questions. D. Technology improvement.

Zibo city in Shandong province has stormed the Internet since late February for its local barbecue (烧烤). In March, the small city received about 4. 8 million tourists. It is certainly not the only city that offers barbecue, or even the most famous one, but its seemingly sudden fame was steps in the making.
Zhou Maosong, president of Zibo Tourism Promotion Association said the popularity (流行,受欢迎) started from the crowd-gathering effect of cultural and tourism activities including a music festival. Then famous people tasted the barbecue and put their experiences online attracting young people, which led to a wave of students from neighbouring cities visiting Zibo. What better way to attract adventurous (爱冒险的) and hungry college students other than “tasty barbecue that makes you full within only 50 yuan!”
However, Zibo did not fall into the trap (陷阱) of easy fame that dies fast where sellers cheat buyers on price and quality for the most profit (盈利) in the shortest time. A blogger on Douyin took an electronic scale (电子秤) to ten barbecue stands in Ziboto test if he would be offered less food. It turned out that not a single one was caught short of weight and some owners even offered him local snacks for free. Local people’s honest and friendly behaviour touched even more people online and again lifted the city’s popularity.
Zibo’s successful story has inspired governments in other parts of the country to find their ways of supporting local businesses.
