Teleportation(瞬间移动)Teleportation means instant(立刻的) transportation of an object(物体) or a person from one place to another. We will probably experience(体验) it some day. Smart machinesIn the near future, there will be a lot of machines doing all the housework for us. They will make our life much easier. Time travelThere are many books and TV plays about time travel. Maybe we will be able to do that in 200 years. Androids(人形机器人)We have already known about androids from computer games and movies. The androids will be like human beings not only in looks but also in what they do. They may be popular in the future. Flying carsWe will probably have flying cars in 100 years.

Some people have very good memories and they can easily learn many things by heart, but some people can only remember things when they say or do them again and again. Many of the great men of the world have got surprising memories. A good memory is a great help in learning languages. Everybody learns his mother language(母语) when he is a small child. He hears the sounds, remembers them and then he learns to speak. Some children are living with their parents in foreign countries. They can learn two languages as easily as one because they hear, remember and speak two languages every day. In school, it is not so easy to learn a foreign language because the students have so little time for it, and they are busy with other subjects, too. But your memory will become better and better when you do more and more exercises. 59. Some people can easily learn many things by heart because _.

However, it's not so easy to be polite all the time. And quite a few people can get impolite to others easily. What should we do to be polite? Here are some tips. Why do we sometimes forget to smile at others? You won't get smaller or weaker if you smile first when meeting someone. A sweet smile is the best way to show your kindness and politeness. “Sorry”， “Please” and “Thank you” are ignored(忽视) easily. Whenever you need help from someone, say “Please” to him or her. If someone helps you, don't forget to say “Thank you” or if you do something wrong, say “Sorry”. Just because of these simple but polite words, others would be glad to help you again. When you disagree with others, speak softly instead of getting into arguments(争吵). Listen to them and try to understand what they want to say. If the other person gets rude(粗鲁的), keep quiet for a minute. Then he or she will understand that you are not interested in arguments. When he or she calms down, say out your opinions with smile on your face. There are many tips for being polite to others, but I guess that even if you follow all these tips, it's not enough. You should practice being polite all the time by yourself. 69. What does the writer think of being polite to others all the time?A. Funny. B. Boring. C. Difficult. D. Impossible. 70.
