What will man be like in____—in 5,000 or even 50,000 years from now on? We can only make a____， of course, but we can be sure that he will be____what he is today. For man is slowly changing all the time.
Let us take an obvious____. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now on____， men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is relatively a short period of time, so we may imagine that man will continue to grow____.
Again, in the modern world we use our____a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain's capacity(容量). As time____on, however, we shall have to use our brains____—and eventually we shall need____ones! This is____to bring about a physical change too：the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger.
Nowadays our eyes are in____use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over a very long period of time it is likely that man's eyes will grow____.
On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs, These, as____， are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, ____， our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great____in modern life.
But what about hair? This will probably____from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes(性别)are likely to be bald(光秃的)!
Perhaps all this gives the____that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! This may well be true. All the same, ____all these changes, future man will still have a lot in____with us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.

Recently I was invited to a friend’s house for supper and had a meal I have never had before.
All the friends invited were a little 31 . It’s not that Ben is unsociable , or a bad cook , but it’s just that he never 32 more than he has to. So how come he was inviting us round for a meal? Had he bought something 33 for his friends? He greeted us at the door and showed us into his dining room where a 34 table was waiting for us.“Nothing but the 35 for my friends!”said Ben. We all sat down and looked 36 at each other---what did he 37 to?
Ben returned with four bowls of hot soup.“It’s a 38 of carrots , potatoes and tomatoes,”said Ben. The next 39 was also a little strange in that we didn’t quite know what it was again. It’s just 40 mixture of vegetable.

46 that we had all finished the food , Ben decided to tell the truth. He had read recently that supermarkets usually 47 away 5 percent of their food every day. So Ben decided to look inside his local supermarket bins. There he found food that was slightly out of 48 , boxes of throw-away vegetables and fruit.
