本句缺謂語動詞，根據at home（在家里）和首字母提示，可知是呆在家里；結合時間In the 1950s，可知需用過去式，故填stayed。

短文填空，要求根據句子結構和首字母提示用合適的單詞填空，使短文內容前后連貫，表達順暢，重在考查學生對所學語言的綜合運用能力和對文段的理解判斷能力。本題有一定難度，但只要聯(lián)系整篇短文，把握好上下句的意思和關系，正確作答是不成問題的。例如小題2，本句缺表語形容詞；根據下文It may just be the perfect snack它可能是最完美的零食，可知很好吃，結合首字母提示，故填delicious。

Someday in the future we may not need to have money in our pockets. Is life easier when people don’t need to carry any money at all? Is money heavy to carry? Is it safe to carry money? Maybe in the future each of us will have only one small credit card(信用卡). We will use it instead of money to buy all the things.

Of course we may still have some of the same problems with cards we now have with money. For example, we lose money from time to time. Maybe we will lose the cards. Maybe someone will take the cards. Someone may even make a card that looks like our cards. Since we can’t buy anything without our cards, the credit cards may be no better than money.

Is there something easier to use than credit cards? Each of us has a thumbprint(拇指指紋). No two thumbprints are the same. Maybe someday the government will keep people’s thumbprints with a number. When you want to buy something, you will put your thumb on a machine or a computer. Each store or business will posses one. Everyone’s thumbprints will be in the computer. It will be difficult to lose our thumbprints! It will be difficult for someone to steal it or to make one like it.
