2 Read Lu Yao’s letter. 阅读陆遥的信。
Dear future me,
I’m writing this letter for my school’s time capsule（时间胶囊）. I want to share my thoughts on what the future might be like. Here are my predictions.
① In 2055, it will be normal for people to live up to 120 years old. Tiny robots in our blood will act like soldiers. They will find and repair damaged cells to keep our bodies healthy. Therefore, we will no longer
suffer from common illnesses like colds and flu. If any part of our body gets damaged, 3D printers will create a replacement（替代品）for us.
② Scientists are working on brain chips that will make typing messages a thing of the past. In 2055, people will send messages just by thinking. For example, if I want to send a message to my friend Lisa, I only need to think “message Lisa”, and then think about what I want to say. The chip in my brain will automatically（自动地）write the message for me and send it to the chip in her brain — no phone needed!
③ I also believe that there will be amazing ways to travel in the future. For example, people will be able to travel around China in just one day by taking T-flight, which can travel up to 4,000 km/h. If people want to travel to another planet for a holiday, they’ll be able to take a space elevator to get there!
When you read this letter, please check how many of my predictions have come true. Who knows? Maybe I will be able to time-travel to find out by myself!
