What will man be like in the future？Hw abut in 5，000 r even 50，000 years frm nw？We can nly make a guess，f curse，but we can be sure that future man will be different frm what we are like tday.1
Let's give an example. Man，even 500 years ag，was shrter than tday. Nw，n average，men are abut three inches taller.500 years is a relatively shrt perid f time，s we may guess that man will cntinue t grw taller. Again，in the mdern wrld we use ur brains a great deal. Even s，we make use f nly abut 20%f the brain's capacity（容量）.As time ges n，hwever，we shall have t use ur brains mre and mre-and finally we shall need even larger nes！2 The head，the frehead in particular，will grw larger.
3 In fact，we use them s much that very ften they becme weaker and we have t wear glasses. But ver a very lng perid f time it is likely that man's eyes will grw strnger. On the ther hand, we tend t make less use f ur arms and legs.4 At the same time, hwever, ur fingers will grw mre sensitive because they are used a great deal in mdern life.
But what abut hair? This will prbably disappear frm the bdy altgether in the curse f time because it des nt serve a useful purpse any lnger. In the future, then, bth sexes are likely t be bald.
Perhaps all these give the impressin that future man will nt be a very attractive creature t lk at!
5 Future man will still be human beings, with thughts and emtins similar t ur wn.
A. Nwadays ur eyes are in cnstant use.
B. This prbably brings abut mental changes.
C. These, as a result, are likely t grw weaker.
D. This is likely t bring abut physical changes, t.
E. That's because man is slwly changing all the time.
F. As a result, future man will have little in cmmn with us.
G. In spite f all these changes, future man will still have a lt in cmmn with us.
