A wasp flies around it and its buzz (嗡嗡叫) seems to say, ‘You must dig here.’I dig and I find a big box of gold.”“Yes, a strange dream,” replied Hassan. “Why don’t you dig around that tree and see if it’s true?”“My friend, it was just a dream and anywayit’s too hot to dig.”Hassan said, “If you do not want to dig, I will. Sell your dream to me.”“How much will you pay?”asked Jehdi.Hassan agreed to pay 300 coins.“Never have I made such a business deal. How naïve (天真的) you are, Hassan!”The two friends then went to the pine tree Jehdi had dreamed about. Jehdi stood there with a smile on his face to see Hassan start diggi ng.

Some stars have succeeded in designing.CWhat will man be like in the future — in 5,000 or even 50,000 years from now? We can only make a guess, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today. For man is slowly changing all the time.Let us take an example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on the average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is a relatively (相对地) short period of time, so we may suppose that man will continue to grow taller.Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain's capacity (容量.) As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more and finally we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring about a physical change too. The head, especially the forehead, will grow larger.Nowadays our eyes are being used too much. In fact, we use them so much that very oftenthey 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 stronger.On the other hand, we tend (有…的趋势) to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive (敏感的) because they are used a great deal in modern life.What about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both men and women are probably to be hairless!Perhaps, all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive (有吸引力的) person to look at! This may well be true. All the same, besides these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and feelings similar to our own.19. Future man is probably to be different from us in ________ ways.A. twoB. threeC. fourD. five20. Future man’s head will grow larger because ________.A. he will use his brain more and more as time goes onB. he makes use only 80% of the brain's capacityC. the other 80% of his brain will grow fasterD. his brain has grown larger over the past centuries21. What will be probably TRUE about the man in the future?A. He will have smaller eyes and will wear better glasses.B. His fingers will grow weaker because he won't use them.C. He will be hairless because hair is no longer useful.D. He will think and feel in a different way.22. What does the writer write the article for?A. To give us some knowledge of future man.B. To show that man's life will be different in the future.C. To let us know future man will become shorter.D. To tell us future man will not use legs.D根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有一项为多余选项。
