Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.

Welcome to life in the future! You get up in the morning and look into the mirror. You've recently had a new anti-aging treatment, so you look like a 30-year-old. And many people your age could live to be 120 now, so - at 60 - you're not old at all.

Science has also found amazing ways to keep people healthy. Nanotechnology can help cure many illnesses, including cancer. And if any part of your body is unhealthy, you can "grow" a new one in a laboratory.

As you get dressed, you say to your shirt, "Turn red." It becomes red. In 2045, "smart" clothes contain nanoparticles that carry electricity. So you can program clothes to change colors or patterns.

On the way to the kitchen, you want to call a friend. Your cell phone is by the window because it gets its energy from the sun. But you don't need to pick up the phone. You can just touch your jacket sleeve to make the call.

It's breakfast time. You reach for the milk, but a voice says, "Don't drink that!" Your fridge knows the milk is old, and tells the supermarket to replace it. Ten minutes later, it's delivered by a drone.

As you leave for work, the lights turn off by themselves. Your home goes into the "sleep" mode to save energy. In 2045, cars drive themselves, so you just tell your driverless car where you want to go.

Will all this come true? Perhaps the future is much closer than we think.

What is the main idea of the passage?

  • Future technology may change people's daily lives.
  • People in 2045 will wear the same clothes every day.
  • People in the future will only work from home.
  • Scientists may stop using nanotechnology in 2045.

What does the writer say about aging in the future?

  • Only young people will receive anti-aging treatment.
  • All people who are 60 can expect to live 120 years.
  • People who are 120 will be very healthy.
  • Age 60 will not be thought of as old.

According to the passage, what is NOT mentioned as a reason why people are healthier in 2045?

  • New body parts can be grown by scientists.
  • Nanotechnology helps treat dangerous diseases.
  • Robot doctors work in hospitals.
  • Serious illnesses have been cured.
