Future lifeReading Text Read the text and do the tasks that follow.(A) It’s now 11:55. Carol and Phil are sitting in a restaurant, expecting the first moment of the year 2050. Carol knows that when the clock strikes 12, Phil will kneel at her feet to propose marriage to her, even though they have lived together for 30 years. Thirty years ago, like most young people of their age, they decided to cohabit so that they might pursue their own careers without being disturbed by family responsibilities.(B) They now have all what they want, except for a child. The only way to have one at the age of 50 is asking the Embryo Bank to send to the City’s Embryo Hospital the embryos they deposited before their cohabitation. Tomorrow, they’ll go to the Marriage Registry Office and then to the bank to fill in a request form. After that, they’ll go to the hospital to tell the doctors what gender, hair color, eye color, and complexion they want their child to possess – and after around nine months’ time, they’ll have a real happy family with a cute baby!(C) These days, both of them often discuss where their child, named Chris, will study when he is 7. Carol wants to send Chris to a traditional school, a kind of institution that she used to go to as a schoolgirl. But Phil suggests a modern, world-famous school. This school opens 24 hours a day, and the students may come at different times. Chris will attend any class he likes: If he’s interested in math, he’ll go to a math class. In the “classroom,” there are no teachers but separate booths where Chris may turn the teaching machine on and select the teacher he likes. This teacher will appear on the screen and talk to Chris. To meet individual students’ needs is this school’s aim.(D) Another special thing about this school is that it is environmentfriendly. Despite the increasing oil prices and the energy crisis affecting most people’s life, tuition fees here are quite low and stable, as the energy provided for the school comes from the sun and wind. Life now is more convenient but not easier than it was 50 years ago.a. Maidh the paragraphs (A, B, C, or D) with the headings. One heading will not be used.1. Energy Crisis Paragraph A 2.
