Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is a relatively short period of time, so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller. Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain's capacity. As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and eventually we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring about a physical change too: the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger.
Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over very long period of time it is likely that man's eyes will grow stronger.
On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life.
But what about hair？ This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald.
Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.
The passage mainly tells us that ______.

M: OK, but let's have breakfast first, I'm quite hungry.
W: OK, hurry up.
What does the man propose to do first？
听力原文：W: Hi, John.
M: Oh! Hi, Laura, What are you doing here？
W: Uh, I'm usually here on weekends. It's my dad's shop. So you are looking for a bike？
M: Yeah. Now that the weather is warming up, I thought I get some exercise instead of taking the bus all the time.
W: Well, you came to the right place. Do you know what you would like？
M: Well, I don't want a racer or a touring bike or anything. Mostly I'll just be using it to get me back and forth from work.
W: How far is that？
M: About four miles.
W: Are there a lot of hills on the way？
M: Some I guess. But maybe I should tell you at the front that I only got 150 dollars. Can I get anything decent for that？
W: well, you are not going to get any, thing top of the line. But we do have a few trade-ins in the back that are in good condition.
M: That sounds good.
W: And you are right. For the kind of ride you are going to be doing, the most important thing is comfort. You want to make sure it's the right height for you. Follow me and I'll show you what we've got.
Why is Laura at her dad's shop？
听力原文： Good evening, welcome to the first meeting of our spring cycling season. It's pleasure to see to many new faces here. I certainly hope that most of you will soon feel right at home with our group and bicycling will become a regular hobby for you and a part of your physical fitness routine. Some of you may not realize that the state of New Jersey offers ample opportunities for bicyclists of all abilities. We have rolling countryside, miles of beaches, lovely hills and valleys and thousands of miles of little used roads. Beginners will find the shore and area south of princeton suitable for their needs while expert riders will discover that the steep trails of the region around High Point offer a challenge to their skill and stamina. In addition, New Jersey is rich in places of historical interest. The state abounds in colonial architecture, battle fields of the revolution and other historic sites important in the early history of this country, most carefully preserved or have been meticulously restored. We organized tours to a variety of places nearly every weekend. Next Saturday tour will be a relatively easy one, from Recters University to the gateway National Park. Interested cyclists should meet at eight a. m. in the parking lot at the corner of Hamiltom Street and College Avenue in New Branders work. The minimum time of this tour is about six hours. We'll use a buddy system throughout the ride. Each new rider should team up with a more experienced rider. If the buddies look after each other, we can be sure that no one will be left behind on the back roads. You can pick up a map of Saturday's tour at the information table before you leave this evening.
