The World Future is set up by a group of people from more than 100 countries who are interested in how modern technology is making our life better.

They think the things that we will be able to do in the future should help us live better in many ways, at home and at work, in our own country and around the world. Here are just two of them.

People live to 120 years old and use new technologies to help them when they go blind(盲), deaf(聋) or have other problems. The number of people over a hundred years old would increase. By 2050 people think that 100 million workers will be able to work at home for companies in a different country by using the Internet.

The new technology of “nanotechnology”, very small robots or machines, will make all the things smaller and lighter. Very, very small machines could take away rubbish, make things in factories, and help people take away fat in their bodies. By 2020 people will probably be able to wear these small machines that look like watches. They will give us lots of information about our bodies and help keep us healthy.

因为重感冒，怀特先生不得不缺席了昨天的会议。

Mr. White had to ______ the meeting because he caught a bad cold.

In the 13th century, Marco Polo, the world known Italian traveler saw many wonderful things in China. One of the things he discovered was money made of paper. People in the West did not have such kind of money until the 15th century. However, the Chinese began to use it in the 7th century.

Paper was invented by a Chinese man called Cai Lun almost 2,000 years ago. But it was not made in Europe until the year 1100. Four hundred years later, a German discovered that he could make the best paper from trees. After that countries rich in forests, such as Canada, Sweden, America, Finland became the most important ones in paper making.

Paper can be used in many ways. The common uses include newspapers, magazines and books. But do you know that paper can be used for keeping warm? In Finland, the farmers wear paper boots to keep their feet warm in the snow. And even houses can be insulated(使绝缘) from heat or cold with paper.

However, we have to understand that paper still comes from trees now. If we keep on wasting so much paper, there will not be any trees left on the earth someday in the near future. Every day people throw away about 2800 tons of paper in our city. It takes 17 trees to make one ton of paper. This means that we are cutting down nearly 48000 trees every day. The fact is that it takes more than 10 years for a tree to grow.

So we must start saving paper right now. We can use both sides of every piece of paper. We can make useful things out of used paper. We can use china cup instead of paper ones. When shopping, we can use fewer paper bags and reuse them if we have some.

In short, we should keep a balance between using paper and protecting trees, and do it now before it is too late.
