UNIT 2 LOOKING INTO THE FUTURE
In the future, man's life will be very different from that of today.First, with the development of medicine, on average, a person will live to the age of about 120.Second, because of the discovery of new energy, the environmental pollution will be under control.Third, people's daily life will change greatly, too.For example, robots will do all your housework for you; your chair will change its color to match what you're wearing; you can also put your mobile phone around your wrist and can see the caller while speaking; you even can take a new elevator into space for your holidays.
开启快乐学习之旅
在未来，人的生活将与现在有很大的不同。首先，随着医学的发展，平均来说，一个人会活到120岁左右。其次，由于新能源的发现，环境污染将得到控制。第三，人们的日常生活也会发生很大变化。例如，机器人会为你做所有的家务。你的椅子会改变它的颜色，以与你的穿着相匹配。你也可以把你的手机戴在你的手腕上，这样在通话时就可以看到对方，你甚至可以乘一部新的电梯到太空去度假。
