M: Oh, wow. I can't believe today is our last day of school. No more teaching for three months straight! So where are you going for summer vacation? W: A couple of months ago, one of my students gave me a magazine. I was greatly interested in it. Now I get it in my mailbox every month. M: Why don't you just read it online? W: Well, I just love the photos, and sometimes I cut them out and put them up on my wall. M: Huh? W: I have been planning my vacation ever since I got that first magazine. I pick the most interesting photos, cut them out, and put them up on my wall. I look at them and decide where I want to go most. M: Most people just do that on Facebook, you know... W: Well, I just prefer to do it this way. M: So how many photos do you have on your wall? W: About a dozen. M: So have you decided where you will go? W: Oh, yes. I even have my plane ticket.

question:
W: Hi, Professor Smith. I hear you've written a book titled Visions. M: Yes. It explains how science will revolutionize the 21st century. W: Could I ask you some questions concerning the book? M: Sure. W: Are you optimistic about the future? M: Generally, yeah. If we go back to the year of 1900, most Americans didn't live beyond the age of 50. Since then, we've had improvements in health care and technology. There is no reason why these won't continue far into the 21st century. W: Are we ready for the changes that will come? M: Changes are already happening. The future is here now. We have DNA, microchips, the internet. Some people's reaction is to say, we are too old; we don't understand new technology. My reaction is to say, we must educate people to use new technology now. W: Is world population going to be a big problem? M: Yes, and no. I think that world population will stop increasing as we all get richer. If you are a part of the middle class, you don't want or need 12 children. W: Will there be a world government? M: Very probably. We will have to manage the world and its resources on a global level because countries alone are too small. W: Will we have control of everything? M: I think we'll learn to control the weather, volcanoes and earthquakes. Illness won't exist. We'll grow new livers, kidneys, hearts, and lungs like spare parts for a car. People will live to about 130 or 150. For 2000 years, we have tried to understand our environment. Now we'll begin to control it., Question: What does Professor Smith say about most Americans around the year of 1900? (A) The average life span was less than 50 years. (B) It was very common for them to have 12 children. (C) They retired from work much earlier than today.
