Michael The future will not determine
itself. The future is determined by the action of the present day. The future is
not something imposed upon us by fate or other forces beyond our control. We
ourselves build the future both through what we do and what we do not do.
Tony The future will see more unbelievable things.
In the future, people will be able to predict their performance from the
strength of the brain’s electrical activity. Doctor Kramer has found that the
strength of the brain’s electrical activity can be measured through the scalp.
Bosses would measure brain activity through the scalp and tell whether a worker
is performing well, working hard, or too tired to do the job properly.
Mary In the new century, things around us will be more
fascinating. The chemical gelatin in the brain is said to increase your desire
for fat, when it is stimulated. This means that disturbances of this chemical
gelatin can lead to overeating. Doctor Sarah Leibowits presented an academic
paper suggesting that the appetite for fat-rich food can be controlled through
drugs that block the effects of gelatin. David
In the future our life will change dramatically. It is quite certain that
computers will play an important part in our life. You will visit your doctor,
and find that he uses a computer screen and visual information about your
condition, instead of his text books. Computers in your home will enable you to
answer interactive question about your health and show the alternative results
which will affect you if you act in a certain way. Kate
In the future, computers will change the way the doctors diagnose
and treat their patients. Also doctors will change their traditional notion of
medicine. Although pills for tension, heart conditions, being overweight and
other life-threatening conditions are prescribed by Western doctors, most
doctors now require patients to focus on a healthy way of living by changing
diets and using more exercise as a means to keep well. Now match
each of the people (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement. Note:
There are two extra statements. Statements
A. We create our own future.
B. Changing diets and having exercise is a good way to stay healthy.
C. Computers will play an essential role in our life.
D. Pills for tension, overweight will no longer be prescribed by doctors.
E. Your brain waves may be used to check out your work performance.
F. People no longer need to see doctors. G. Chemical
gelatin, once stimulated, can increase our desire of eating fat-rich
food.
