You are standing in the kitchen and a voice says, “Add a little more salt to that soup.” Yes, it’s always nice to have someone help you when you’re cooking. But this voice is not from a man. You are alone!

Then where does it come from? Is it from a ghost? No, this isn’t a ghost kitchen---it’s the kitchen of the future.

Scientists are working to improve everything in the kitchen, from fridges to tables, and even the ways we cook. They are making a system (系统). It will help a person cook a meal. You don’t need cookbooks. You can hear how to cook food.

The fridge of the smart kitchen has a scanner (扫描器). It looks at the foods in the fridge. It will order more milk from the store when your milk has gone bad or there is no more in the fridge. The gloves will test the temperature of everything they touch and say, “Need to cook longer” or “Hot and ready to eat”. If you leave them on the stove by mistake, they’ll say, “Fire!” Even the knives and spoons will speak. For example, if your food is bad, the knives and spoons will tell you not to eat it.

The future kitchen may look wonderful, but it’s not cheap. The multimedia (多媒体的) fridge costs about 8,000 dollars. So even though high-tech kitchens are no longer a dream, not everyone can afford one.

More and more people enjoy travelling in China now. Some of them would like to take trains for their trips because the train is fast and cheap. But there are also many problems when people take trains. For example, it’s not easy to buy train tickets when it is a festival. Besides it, it takes too much time to go to places far away. People hope such problems can be worked out as soon as possible.

Then, CRH (China Railway High-speed) trains come out. The first CRH train from Beijing to Tianjin ran in August, 2008. There are the letters “CRH” on the head of the trains. CRH1 and CRH2 can run 200 km/h, and CRH3 can go up to more than 300 km/h. Taking CRH trains is more expensive than taking traditional trains, but cheaper than taking planes. People think CRH trains and their workers are good, and they enjoy the trips by CRH train.

China has made a CRH train, 350 kilometres an hour from Beijing to Shanghai. It can save people more time.

Can CRH trains solve all the problems? “Of course not. There is still a long way to go,” about 85% of the people answer.
