The Future Life 展望未来
What would the future life be like? I think we will be able to travel faster and safer around the world and into space. Maybe one day we can work in Beijing, sleep in Chengdu and visit the moon for a holiday.
We will have new energy that doesn’t make pollution possible. People will find ways to use cleaner things, such as sea water, to make energy without polluting the earth.
We will have machines that can copy everything in the future, put a cake on the machine and it makes a new one. If the machine is like a fax-machine, we can send food and presents to our friends easily.
We will have clever robots that work for us, and the robots can bring us useful things and take away our rubbish, now we have to press a key or type a word to make a machine work. But in the future, if we think of something, the machine can make it for us. The machine can understand our ideas.
We will be able to go into computer games and films and everything will feel real. We will be able to make our homes like forests or sunny beaches or anything we want. Perhaps, one day we will be able to collect our dreams and put them on DVDs.

The Unusual Hotels 奇异的旅馆
There are many unusual hotels around the world. In Greenland there is a hotel made out of ice, open between December and April every year. In Turkey, there is a cane hotel with a television furniture and a bathroom in each room. And in Bolivia there is the Salt Palace Hotel. Thousands of years ago, the area around the Salt Palace Hotel was a large lake. But over time, all the water disappeared. Today the area has only two small lakes and two salt deserts.
In the early 1990s, a man named Juan built the hotel. He cut big blocks of salt from the desert and used the block to build it. Everything in the hotel is made out of salt, the walls, the roof(屋顶), the tables, the chairs, the beds and the hotel’s bar.
The sun heats(使变热) the walls and roof during the day. At night the desert is very cold, but the rooms stay warm.
The hotel has twelve rooms and a double room costs $60 a night. A sign on the hotel’s
wall tells guests “Please don’t lick(舔) the walls.”
