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.

At times we all get angry when we are driving. It might be because we are stuck in a traffic jam or behind a very slow driver. It might be because we think another driver has done something very stupid and dangerous. Whatever the reason is, it seems that getting angry in a car is something that happens more and more often and there is now a special term for it—road rage. Some experts even think it is a kind of mental illness! How can we recognize (识别) this “illness” of road rage?

There are two kinds of road rage: aggressive (侵略的) driving and aggressive reactions(反应) to the way other people are driving. Aggressive driving can take different forms:

●Driving much faster than the speed limit.

●Increasing your speed very quickly.

●Changing driving ways very suddenly and blocking another car.

●Moving into a parking space where another car is trying to park.

There are also different reactions to the way other people are driving. These include:

●Making rude signs at others.

●Shouting at others and threatening them.

●Driving into another person’s car on purpose.

●Hitting somebody.

Road rage is certainly not a joke. There have been incidents (严重事件) because of road rage which have led to serious injuries (重伤) and even deaths.

Experts think that one reason for road rage is that films show a lot of examples of fast and aggressive driving such as car chases. Experts also think that the punishments for dangerous driving are not serious enough. In the UK in the last 30 years, the police have been quite successful in reducing the number of people who drink and drive. They are now working to stop people using mobile phones when they are driving. Let’s hope they can have the same success with the road rage.
