阅读表格——科技素养
阅读短文，补全表格。
A long time ago, people were very different from the way we are now. For example, if you find a really old house somewhere, you’ll see that the doors are usually much lower than they are today. Why? Because hundreds of years ago, people were shorter. Over time, the human body has changed a lot.
Can we expect the human body to keep changing in the future? That’s for sure. And the main reason is that we have more and more technology(技术), and it is changing how we live. Here are some possible changes.
In the future, people will probably be even taller. Most of us now have much better food than people in the past, so we grow more.
Our muscles(肌肉)will not be as strong as now, because we won’t do a lot of physical work.
We are already using our feet less, and our hands more(think about computers). So we can expect that our legs will get shorter and our feet will get smaller. At the same time, our fingers(手指)will get longer. And our fingers and our eyes will both get better, because they’ll have to do more work together.
What about the mouth? It’ll get smaller, because we needn’t talk so much with the help of technology.

答案： 1. taller 2. technology 3. because
4. stronger 5. smaller
