Future Life
In the past, people could know how their children would live. Now things are changing so quickly. So we don’t even know what our own lives will be like in a few years. Here is how scientists see what the life will be like in twenty years.
You’re sitting in your car, but you are not driving. That’s OK. The car can go without a driver, and with its computers and cameras, your car “knows” how to get your home safely.
You are hungry, so you go to the kitchen as soon as you get home. You asked for some food by computer. And now they’ve arrived. Your kitchen has a two-way refrigerator. It opens to the outside to receive things to you. You’ve already paid for food. You can pay the money from your bank. Nobody uses cash.
What’s for lunch? In old days, you often stopped to buy food in the streets. Now you use a small machine. It has found out you need more vegetables and less fat. So your food-cooking machine makes you a salad.
After lunch, you go down the hall to your home office. Here you have everything you need for doing your work. Thanks to your new computer, you almost never go into the office anymore.
The computer shows a message from a worker of your office in another country. Your computer puts his words into English. As you wait, you think about what to do at night. If you want to see a film, you can stay at home and see any films. The films are sent to you on the Internet.
What film do you want to see this evening?

We can remember some important times in our lives. Some things have become good memories. The memories always in the corner of our mind.
When I was in a kindergarten, I had many toys and friends. They made me laugh and cry. The teachers taught us many songs and games. We played all day. Although we did not know what learning was at that time, we were learning every day.
When I was in a primary school, I was excited to learn school subject. Nearly every subject caught my attention. However, my favorite subject was science. I remembered on the first day our science teacher told us the sun was like a big fire ball. We were quite surprised and kept our mouths open. We began to wonder at the secret of nature. Later many other things came to our ears. We began to learn carefully.
When I was ten years old, I began to read newspapers, keep a diary, visit museums and make many friends. Every day was something new, interesting and exciting.
Now I am in the middle school. Each day is new to me. Happily, I am still learning. It is like a journey to me. I have learned a lot, but there’s still a long way for me to go. I hope to become a learned person some day.
1. We can’t __________ the important times in our lives.
