• 2．The Web as a Way of Life If you ask people today why they use mobile phones to communicate with their friends or why they turn to TV for entertainment they will look at you as if you are crazy．These things have become such an integral part of life that they are no longer noticed，let alone remarked on．
     In the same way，within a decade no one will notice the web．it will be just there．It will be a way of life．People will use it for shopping，education，entertainment and communication．They will invent new uses for it．
     A change like this is generational．Old people have to learn something about new things outside their everyday life，while kids who grow up with a new technology simply treat it as given．
     In the future，everyone's business card will have an email address．Every lawyer，every doctor and every business-from large to small-will be connected．On the other hand，the variety of activities on the web will be broadening at an amazing rate．You can find all kinds of interesting materials on the web．
     Many sites will have a huge traffic flow．People will trade the time they now spend reading the paper or watching TV for time spent surfing the web．Americans，particularly young Americans，will spend less time in front of the TV，and more on the web．
     We usually overestimate what we can do in two years and underestimate what we can do in ten．The web will be as much a way of life as the car by 2008 and probably before．
  
  （1）The web will be an integral part of life because

  ．
  A．we will use it to do lots of things
  B．it will replace the TV
  C．we won't notice it is there
  D．it will help us to lead better lives
  （2）In the future

  ．
  A．all business cards will have email addresses
  B．doctors and lawyers will not use the web

  ．
  A．we have no idea how the web will develop
  B．there will soon be more computers than cars
  C．we are very good at predicting the future
  D．the development of the web will be faster than we expect

• 3．There are many places to go on safari（观赏野生动物） in Africa，but riding a horse through the flooded waters of Botswana's Okavango Delta must rank a& one of the world's most exciting wildlife journeys．
     Several safari camps operate as the base for this adventure，providing unique rides twice a day to explore deep into the delta．The camps have excellent horses，professional guides and lots of support workers．They have a reputation for providing a great riding experience．
     The morning ride，when the guides take you to beautiful，shallow lakes full of water lilies，tends to be more active．It is unlike any other riding experience．With rainbows forming in the splashing water around you and the sound of huge drops of water bouncing off your body and face，it is truly exciting．You are very likely to come across large wild animals，too．On horseback it is possible to get quite close to elephants，giraffes and many other animals．The sense of excitement and tension levels rise suddenly though，as does your heart rate，as you move closer to them．
     In the evening，rides are usually at a more relaxed and unhurried pace，with golden light streaming across the grassy delta and the animals coming out to eat and drink．Sedate as they are，rides at this time of day are still very impressive．As the sun's rays pass through the dust kicked up by the horses，the romance of Africa comes to life．
     Back at the camp you can kick off your boots and enjoy excellent food and wine．Looking back on your day，you will find it hard to deny that a horseback safari is as close as you will ever come to answering the call of the wild．
  
  （1）The underlined word"They"in the second paragraph refer to

  ．
  A．Flooded waters

  A．Wild and romantic．
