But you are not dreaming. This is what might happen in the near future. With the help of virtual reality (VR, 虚拟现实) technology, a lot of changes are taking place in our life. VR is a computer technology that makes an environment and allows users to see and even interact (互动) with it. Just wear a pair of VR glasses joined to your computer and you can experience a lot of things without stepping out of your room. “The most interesting part of VR is that it offers an immersive experience,” said Wang Bing, leader of the Chinese entertainment company Funshow. “Thats why VR movies are popular among users. You become a part of the story.” According to the Report on Chinese VR Users Behavior last month, over 960,000 people in China have bought VR products and 83.2 percent of them have watched VR movies. VR can also be used in some other ways. It can help to train workers before they have to work in highly dangerous environments. VR also helps patients with acrophobia (恐高症) by making them think they are standing on the top of a tall building. However, VR technology still has a long way to go.

That changed when she began to sing I Dreamed a Dream from Les Miserables. She knew we were going to have that reaction and just to see that look of satisfaction on her face midway through it was one of my favorite moments,” Cowell said.The performance was posted On line and before long，the 47-year-old Scottish woman has been famous all over the worldSpeaking from her home in ScotlandMs. Boyle said that she hadn't thought of changing her appearanceShe said that her friend helped her with make-up“I mean，that's hardly a makeover”she addedMs. Boyle also spoke of the reason she first began to explore her vocal talents”I was kind of slow at school, so getting something like singing was a good way of hiding behind that and thus it built my confidence1Susan Boyle is _Aa judge                                 Ba reporter   Ca beautiful lady                        Da Scottish woman2Susan Boyle had a look of satisfaction on her face when she was singing because _.      Ashe was confident of her singing      Bshe was satisfied with the judges      Cshe was pretty and in good shape      Dshe sang the song，I Dreamed a Dream from Lea Miserables3According to the passage，which is NOT true?      AIt was the vocal talents that built Susan's confidence      BSusan Boyle was not good at her lessons when at school      CSusan Boyle became famous because of her appearance      DSimon Cowell didn't think Susan Boyle a good singer at the time sight4What can we learn from Susan Boyle's success?AIt's never too old to learn    BIt's easier to succeed at the age of 47    CIf you have a dream，try to make it come true!DIf you are not able to study well，to be a singer instead·E·“Who does the cooking in your home?” Im often asked by my colleagues. “My wife and I share it 50/50,” I usually say without hesitation.      Its a lie, of course. Were pretty much even（相等的）when it comes to the children and the elderly. But the paying of bills isnt 50/50-my wife pays all sorts of household expenses, so I never even have to set eyes on them. And the cooking isnt 50/50, either.     The truth is that I am the cook. On my recent 40th birthday, I received the following gifts from my children: a new pot, two mini bottles of truffle oil, a decorative salad-dressing pourer, and a juice-making machine. For a moment I longed for something more manly, a cricket bat, perhaps, and then had to admit that all these things would be useful for me.     Its not that my wife cant or doesnt like to cook (she makes delicious Welsh cakes). Nor has it always been this way. In the early years of our marriage Id be relaxing with a glass of wine while my wife prepared for dinner after work.     But at some point that changed and I became the cook. Ten years with my wife gave me the rewards-I can throw together a roast, and I can make much foreign food. But I have truly become a monster（怪物）in the kitchen, unable to keep myself away from cooking. “You have to add Dijon to the sauce; it brings out the taste of the cheese,” I volunteer, as my wife is cooking. “Quick, stir in the butter so the dish becomes delicious.”     Is it any wonder that my wife has given up coming into the kitchen while I find the whole process of chopping, mixing, and adding things deeply satisfying?(    )1What do the writer and his wife probably share evenly at home?        aCooking in the kitchen.         bTaking care of the children.       cPaying household expenses.      dTaking care of  the elderly at home.       Aab    Bbc    Cbd    Dac(    )2The gifts that the writer received on his 40th birthday show that               .       Ahis children dont know him at all Bhe is in charge of the cooking at home       Che doesnt get along well with his children Dhis children have made wrong choices(    )3What do we know about the writers wife?        AShe cant cook.                BShe doesnt like cooking.       CShe used to cook for the family.   DShe only knows how to make Welsh cakes.(    )4From Paragraph 5 we learn that the writer               .        Alikes sticking his nose into other peoples businessBdoesnt think his wife is good at cooking    Cstudies very hard in order to cook well   Denjoys cooking in the kitchen·F·Different countries have different customs.

Have a look in your fridge, cupboard, and fruit bowl and check the origins(来源) of the food. Perhaps there are apples from California, lamb from New Zealand, or potatoes from Egypt? You will probably be surprised how far food travels to get to your plate. This journey, from “field to plate”，is called “food miles”. A food mile is the distance that food travels from the farmer's field to the person who buys the food. Nowadays, food often travels thousands of miles to get to the consumer(消费者). Why is this, and what is the influence of these long distances?Traditionally, farmers sold their food in the local market, so the food didn't have to travel very far. The consumers also did not travel very far because they went to their local market to buy the food. This was a good system for farmers and consumers. However, there were some disadvantages. For example, consumers could only buy food that farmers produced locally. Besides, they could only get food that was in season. Now, because of modern technology, food comes from all over the world. We do not have to wait for spring or summer to buy strawberries or tomatoes. They are available in winter if we want.Some countries have to import(进口) most of their food. This is because they have difficult climates. The United Arab Emirates (UAE), for example, gets 85% of its food from other coun
