[2025 甘肃庆阳期末]What will our future life be like? Here are some predictions from four students.
Steve: We will take the flying cars to go anywhere. We will improve space travel. There will be many spaceships. It'll be easier for us to travel. One day, our neighbours will come from another planet.
Lisa: I think science will improve a lot in the future. Every family will have their own robot. People will have more free time to enjoy life because robots will do lots of jobs.
Mary: I think the world will be more polluted. We will find medicine for deadly（致命的）illnesses, so people will live to be 200 years old. There will be more people and cities will be more crowded. There will be fewer trees because people need to cut down trees to build houses.
Tony: I think people will look different in the future. Our heads will be bigger and our legs will be thinner. We don't need to walk on legs because
we will go out by car, by plane or even by spaceship. However, we need to work hard to make robots work for us.

[2026吉林长春期末]What picture of the future do you have? Will life in the future be better, worse or the same as now? What do you hope for the future? 5
Can you imagine people will work and live in the sea? 6 By submarine（潜水艇）! Some scientists believe that some day submarines will be as many as today's cars. A French driver says, "One day, men will walk on the ocean floor as they do in the street!" 7 Some of these problems, similar to those of living on the moon, are lack of oxygen（缺氧） and weightlessness（失重）. 8 For example, what will happen to our bodies if we live in water for a very long time? Scientists are looking for answers.
Maybe in 60 years men will be able to live in the sea, away from the crowded and noisy cities on land. 9 And life in the sea will be more comfortable. Don't you think so?
A. But how will people go to work then?
B. Many questions are still hard to answer.
C. Where do you think people will live in the future?
D. Men will find it fun and interesting to live in the sea.
E. There will be more rubbish on the moon in the future.
F. If humans want to live in the sea, they have to solve a lot of problems first.
