A long time ago, people were very different from the way we are now. For example, if you find a really old house somewhere, you'll see that the doors are usually much lower than those today. Why? Because hundreds of years ago, people were shorter.

Will our body be different in the future (未来) ? That's for sure. And the main reason is that we have more and more technology (科技) , and here are some other differences.

Most of us now have much better food than people in the past, so we grow more.

However, our body may not be as strong as now, because we won't do a lot of physical work,

Some people guess that our legs will get shorter and our feet will get smaller, because we use our feet less. At the same time, our fingers will get longer. And our fingers (手指) and our eyes will both get better, because they will have to do more work together with phones and computers.

43．What were the doors of houses like in the past? 

A．Shorter. B．Taller. C．Longer. D．Better.

44．What should we do if we want our body to be stronger according to the text?

Einstein always played with a group of mischievous (淘气的) kids and didn't study well.

His father was worried about his future and stopped him to do so. But Einstein said others even did worse. "My boy, you can't think like that," his dad said.

"There were two cats playing in the chimney (烟囱). When the two cats climbed out of the chimney, one of the cats had soot (烟灰) on his face, while the other cat's face was clean. Seeing the dirty cat, the clean cat thought its face must be dirty, so it quickly ran to the river and washed its face. The dirty cat saw the clean cat and thought its face was also clean, so it just walked down the street. "

"Einstein, no one can be your 'mirror'. You have to think for yourself. If you just do what everyone else does, you will never learn. "
