15、 heard his mothers call of saying time for bed. He continued writing the piece，ignoring her. He had to make up for the time he had lost in thinking about a topic to write.Finally，he finished.

It was just a few lines of text with pictures, but it caught my imagination.Its interesting how inanimate (无生命的) objects can take on such significance and become woven (编织) into a persons, and sometimes a whole

19、familys, life history.Anyway, the article had me considering what my most precious possessions are. It was difficult to choose only five, but here are mine: An old cardboard box filled with my childrens baby photos.A yellow pocketsized birthday book of special things (poems, pictures of flowers and

20、trees, etc) given to me by my dad when I was probably about seven or eight years old. A 21st birthday card from my mum.

21、s that were once my great grandmothers.

22、en to my great grandmother by my great grandfather on his return from World War . It is not worth anything in terms of money.

23、at you feel are your most precious possessions.24. What made the writer have the idea of writing the passage?A. Her love for her relatives. B. Her rich imagination about the objects.C.

We can only make guesses, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today, for m

27、an is slowly changing all the time. Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller.

28、in, in the modem world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brains capacity. As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and eventually we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring about a physical change too: the head

Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! This may well be true.
