What will life be like in 50 years? A group of experts from the UK have painted us a picture-a report on life in the future. By 2069, according to the report, the digital revolution(电子革命) will have greatly changed the world. It will be like what the Industrial Revolution did 250 years ago. What impossible things will become possible? Let's take a look.
Underwater highways
They will be built under the sea. People will travel in pods(吊舱) through underwater tubes (管道). It will take less than an hour to travel between the UK and mainland Europe.
Flying taxis and buses
To stop traffic jams, people might take flying taxis and buses .For long-distance travel, they might take super-fast rockets.Travel time between London and New York could be just 30 minutes.
Space hotels
Don't know where to go during the holiday? Outer space might be a good place. People will have fun in space hotels. These hotels will be built near the moon or the planets of our solar system.
Self-cleaning homes
Future homes might clean themselves while you're at school or work, or while you sleep. It could be as easy as pressing a button.
Insect-burgers昆虫汉堡
Insects will become our main food: They are rich in protein(蛋白质) . People can make them into burgers and biscuits. People can breed more insects in their kitchens.
Underground skyscrapers
You could call them“earth-scrapers”. They are underground buildings . During an earthquake, these buildings would not fall over like normal skyscrapers.

A Your temperature can affect(影响) how you feel about other people. A study showed that experiencing physical warmth gives people a more positive attitude(积极的态度). For example, if you're holding a cup of hot coffee, you are probably more selfless towards others. | B About one in 10 people are left-handed. Many people think being left-handed happens for no reason. But. a new study shows that it’s caused by genes. British scientists have found genetic instructions(基因指令)in human DNA. They might cause people to be left-handed at birth. The instructions affect the part of the brain that deals with (处理) language. This might be why left- handers are better at learning languages. |
C A group of French researchers found that children with older brothers take longer to develop language skills. These children had a two-month delay (延迟) in language development on average(平均) compared to children with older sisters. Researchers think this is because older brothers talk more often in order to draw their parents' attention. Older sisters might talk with their younger sisters or brothers more. | D Are you a quiet person? Maybe you can try to pretend(假装) to be outgoing. This will make you happier, according to a study by US scientists. They asked 123 people to try more outgoing behaviors, such as talking more and being more active for one week. During a second week, they acted as they usually would. The people said that they felt happier when they tried to behave as if they were outgoing. They didn't feel uncomfortable. |
