CISHAN,Aug 12-Hundreds of people were still missing today in remote villages in southern Taiwan and disaster officials said they were uncertain how many people might have been killed by mudslides triggered by Typhoon Morakot.

Morakot, which did terrible damage to Taiwan over the weekend, has killed about 70 people across the island and caused farm-related loss of more than NT  $9  billion (RMB 964 million). More than 100 people have been killed in Asia due to Morakot and tropical storm Etau.

But several hundred villagers listed as missing were found alive in areas where roads were washed out and access was limited to helicopters. The government sent special forces with satellite phones to the hardest hit areas."We are anxious to do our best to get the trapped people out," said Hu Jul-chou, an army official involved in the rescue effort. "Hopes are getting slimmer as the days go by."Hu said it was unclear how many people were buried and feared dead in villages in southern Taiwan.

"I have to say I feel pretty good to be alive," said Lin Dong-wen, 45, from the village of Namahsia, sitting in front of a pile of medicine after being hoisted away by a rescue helicopter."If I had been left there any longer, I wouldn't have made it. I saw the mudslide coming," said Lin after arriving in Cishan, hub of rescue efforts."It was really huge, and I passed out. When I awoke, there was mud all over and I climbed out of it."

Helicopters dropped food and supplies to survivors .Other rescue teams piloted rubber dinghies through raging muddy rivers.

Groups of anxious relatives awaited the arrival of helicopter flights at the makeshift rescue base.Some survivors tried to call relatives on mobile phones."Right after the mudslide, we managed to get in touch with our family members through mobile phones and text messages," said 41-year-old teacher awaiting news at the rescue hub. "But later they switched off their phones to save power."

    Decades later, 11  an American citizen，I look back at what he’d shown me．He set an example，proving that determination is important to success．His 12  taught me valuable lessons for my own path in the darkness．

In the future your automobile will run on water instead of gas! You will be able to buy a supercomputer that fits in your pocket!

These predictions are some of today's best guesses about what technology might bring tomorrow．Whether past technology predictions will show the future ins't always easy to guess．Many of the high-tech things our parents thought we'd be using by now simply never appeared．A few of them have been surprisingly accurate．Some great thinkers predicted the arrival of the credit card，the fax machine and even the internet-years before they happened．Let's look at some predictions from the not-too-distant past．

Robot Helpers

Where's the robot in my kitchen? Nowhere，of course．And he's probably not coming anytime soon．Robots do exist today, but mostly in factories and other manufacturing environments．

Back in the 1950s，however，people said that by now personal robots would be in most people's home．

So why hasn't it happened? Probably because robots are still too expensive and clumsy．And maybe the idea of robots cooking our dinners and washing our clothes is just too weird．At home we seem to be doing fine without them．

Telephones of tomorrow

In 1 964 an American company introduced the video telephone．They said by the year 2000 most people would have a video phone in their homes．But of course the idea hasn't caught on yet．

Why? The technology worked fine，but it overlooked something obvious：people's desire for privacy．Would you want to have a video phone conversation with someone after you just stepped out of the shower?

Probably not-it could be embarrassing! Just because a technology that is available doesn't always mean people will want to use it．

    A．predictions that have come true

    B．what will technology bring about

    C．why predictions don't come true easily

    D．predictions that haven't come true

47．Which of the following is probably NOT the author's belief?

    A．The future isn't always easy to guess．

    B．Not all predictions have come true．

    C．Predictions needn't consider people's practical use of technology．

    D．Many of the high-tech things our parents thought we'd be using by now simply never appeared．

48．The underlined word“weird”probably means        ．

    A．strange    B．stupid    C．practical   D．wonderful

49．Which of the following is right according to the passage?

    A．With modem technology it's now easier to predict what new inventions will be used in the future．

    B．Most people wouldn't have a video phone in their home because of their privacy．

    C．People don't like the idea of robots cooking because it's easy work．

    D．The passage tells us some predictions of the future．

50．The predictions mentioned in the passage          ．

    A．will surely come true     B．might become true

    C．a(chǎn)ll are practical             D．a(chǎn)re made by the author
