Ⅳ. 阅读短文，选择最佳选项。
Over the last few decades, many changes have taken place in our lives.
To start with, people were not able to travel a long distance in a short time in the past. Planes were not very popular at that time because they used to be very expensive. Nowadays, more and more people can travel by plane,
and we have many other fast and comfortable vehicles, such as cars and high-speed trains.
Secondly, in the past, people had to work much harder because they did not have the tools we have today. Now, most of the difficult and dangerous work is done by computers and machines.
Thirdly, the living conditions were not as good as they are now. In the past, many houses had no bathrooms or running water, and many people could not buy things like refrigerators, TV sets or washing machines. Today, most families have these things.
Lastly, communication has become much easier than before. In the past, we kept in touch with others by writing letters or sending faxes, but now we have many other ways to choose from, such as making phone calls, sending emails or messages and chatting online. Moreover, we can even see the people to whom we are making a phone call through mobile phones, and we can see each other while chatting online. The most amazing thing is that we can make a phone call to the astronauts and even see them when they are in space. What a magical thing!
Thanks to technology, especially the Internet, our lives have become much easier and happier than before. I'm sure our lives will become more wonderful in the future. Don't you think so?
