What will life be like in the future? How will things change? Here are some ideas. Which ones will come true?
|
In the future, a change (变换) of weather won't mean a change of clothes. We'll wear a new kind of clothes. They'll be warm when we're cold, and cool when we're hot. |
|
There'll be no more light (轻的) rain and cold wind in spring. The weather will be quite warm or even hot all year, with heavy rain and wind. The sea level (海平面) will be much higher. |
|
We won't travel by bus or by bike any more. Every family will have a small plane. No more expensive cars—it'll be cheap to travel everywhere by plane, not only over land (陆地) , but also over the sea or even into space. Maybe there'll be traffic jams (交通拥堵) in the air. |
|
Do you like long holidays? Well, you're going to like the future because machines and robots will do all the heavy and difficult jobs, and we'll only do light and easy work. Working hours will be short so people will have long holidays. |
Molly was a high school girl from Australia. She loved cars very much and she decided to buy one for herself before graduation (毕业) . In order to get enough money, she looked for part-time jobs on her school board (公告栏) .
She looked through all kinds of part-time jobs, and then she found a job that she was very interested in. It was to be the mascot (吉祥物) of her school sports teams. It was paying fifteen dollars. It was really a lot for a high school student. So Molly went to the job interview and got the job at last. She felt very happy. Her first day of work was at a basketball game. She got to school early that day. She got to school at 7 o'clock, and only the basketball players were there. Molly put on her costume and her panda head. It was very heavy and hot inside. But when she thought about how much she wanted a car, she felt better.
That day, Molly's high school basketball team won the game. The crowd jumped and cheered (欢呼) . A lot of people wanted to take a picture with Molly. She spent an hour just taking pictures. By the time Molly could go home, it was already 11 o'clock, and she felt very tired but happy. She thought about how much money she made. It was the thing keeping her going.
DIY, which means Do It Yourself, is very popular in the UK. Lots of stores and supermarkets sell DIY materials (材料) . TV shows also teach people how to DIY.
British people like DIY a lot. If there is anything that needs fixing (修理) around their homes, such as painting the walls or fixing the furniture (家具) , they will do the jobs themselves. They share DIY with their friends. More and more people enjoy DIY and have found the happiness and pleasure of DIY. Sometimes people also DIY for saving money. Today, many people don't have enough money to buy a big house. They are looking at how they can make their houses better without spending a lot of money. That's why DIY is so popular.
However, DIY can be difficult. People often find it not easy to build a piece of furniture because they can't understand the instructions (用法说明) . Sometimes the instructions themselves are easy and clear, but the furniture itself is difficult to build. DIY can also be dangerous if you are not careful enough. It is reported that in just one year more than 230, 000 people were hurt (受伤) while doing DIY in the UK.
DIY can bring us a lot of fun and can help us save some money, but it is not always as easy as it seems to be. Maybe factories should make things that are easier and safer (安全) for us to DIY.

The panda said "good afternoon" to Michael and then left. Michael was very surprised. He tried to find out what was going on. Suddenly, he saw a monkey playing with a ball outside his window.
