Ⅱ. Read and complete the cloze test.
“Mirror, mirror on the wall, what will I 1 in ten years? Will I look pretty if I eat junk food and don’t exercise?”
To get the answers, you might need a 2 mirror. French 3 have invented one. In this mirror, you won’t see what you look like today. You will see what you’ll look like in the future.
“The mirror looks just like the one in your bathroom, but with some 4,” says Martin Illsley, one of the scientists.
First, it has a camera inside to 5 your pictures. Just stand in front of the mirror, and it will work. You also need to tell the mirror what you 6 and how you exercise. Then, in a few minutes, with the 7 that you offer, the special software in it will create a 8 vision of you in the mirror.
What will bad 9 bring to you in five or ten years? This mirror may just show you. 10 you don’t want it to become real, give up your bad habits right now! Remember that mirrors can 11 help you keep healthy, but you can.
With the development of technology, there will be 12 inventions like the special mirror in the future.
