Have you ever regretted(后悔) what you did in the past? Anyone around you will have no difficulty in telling his regrets. As we get older, we look back and wish that we had made better choices. What can we do to avoid future regrets?
Make better plans
If you begin to do something, you need to make a plan before doing it. The earlier, the better. You will know what comes first and what comes last. You’ll also know what you should do and what you shouldn’t do. If changes happen, you can have more time to deal with them.
Live a more active life
You can go around more often. More outdoor activities can keep you relaxed. You also need to be kind. “Thank you” can bring a smile to someone’s face. Learn to say “sorry” and don’t be angry with others.
Find the right friend
A friend may make your life and he or she can break your life as well. So you need to think twice when you choose a friend. Good friends will always better your ideas.
When you have problems, ask others for help. That little help may get you good results.
Never fear failure
Everybody fails. Even the greatest person failed. We should not fear failure, because failure is not the end of the road. We must take failure as a chance to learn and improve ourselves.
Life is good. We don’t have to live in our past, but we do hope that we can plan better, live better, and work better when we have the chance to do so.

| Imagine walking into a store, you see neither staff nor cashier (收银员). Well, you may have entered Tao Cafe-the 24-hour self-service convenience store. By scanning their QR code (二维码), shoppers are followed with cameras for facial recognition. Digital systems will be able to “watch” and “remember” shoppers selection. When they are ready to leave, they go through two checkout door. Then the bills will automatically (自动地) be paid.

| As people pay more and more attention to the problem of pollution and greenhouse gases, electric cars might become more popular. More carmakers, including Audi and Volvo, will have electric powered cars on the road in 2019. And by 2025, almost every sixth car sold in the world will be electric. Many countries are calling on people to buy clean-energy cars. They believe these cars can help lower the need of oil and reduce air pollution. |
| A smart city is a city where high technology not only serves the citizens, but also learns from them. There will be more information connections, between people, between people and things and between things. Data (数据) from the connections will be collected automatically.

For example, if people point a phone toward a nearby bus stop, the phone shows all bus lines that serve the stop and their arrival times. |
