                                                                Life in 2060
     Let us suppose it is now about A.D. 2060. Let's make believe (假装；虚构) it is about sixty years
from now. Of course, things have changed and life is very different.
     Voyages to the moon are being made every day. It is as easy to take a holiday on the moon today as
it was for the people in 1960 to take a holiday in Europe. At a number of scenic spots on the moon, many hotels have been built. The hotels are air-conditioned, naturally. In order that everyone can enjoy the
beautiful scenery on the moon, every room has at least one picture window. Everything imaginable is
provided for entertainment (娱乐) of young and old.
     What are people eating now? People are still eating food. They haven't yet started to take on heir (继承) supply of energy directly as electrical current or as nuclear power. They may be some day. But many
foods now come in pill form, and the food that goes into the pill continues to come mainly from green
plants.
     Since there are several times as many people in the world today as there were a hundred years ago,
most of our planet's surface has to be filled. The deserts are irrigated with water and crops are no longer
destroyed by pests. The harvest is always good.
     Farming, of course, is very highly developed. Very few people have to work on the farm. It is possible
to run the farm by just pushing a few buttons now and then.
     People are now largely vegetarians (素食者). You see, as the number of people increases, the
number of animal decreases. Therefore, the people have to be vegetarians and we are healthier both in
our bodies and in our minds, and we know the causes and cure of disease and pain, and it is possible to
get rid of diseases. No one has to be ill any more.
     Such would be our life in 2060.

     Richard Wagner was a German musician who lived in the mid-19th century. He gained fame by
writing operas, a form of performance combining singing, music on
instruments , and drama.
     Wagner's lif'e and work have been very controversial(引起争议的). While he  wrote  excellent 
 music, many people think his operas are too dark and serious,lacking the fun in most operas written
before his time.
     Wagner,on the other hand, thought the opera of his time was too simple. He wanted to make opera
a serious form of art that combined drama and music to tell deep stories that would have a strong effect
on the audience.
     Some people thought Wagner's new kind of music was too different from the operas they were used
to hearing. Wagner agreed with them. In fact, he didn't call his works "operas" at all but using a German
word that means " Musical Festival" or " Musical Play" .
      While many people today still do not like Wagner's operas,they cannot deny that Wagner has had a
lot of influence on opera as a form of art. Wagner invented the tradition of turning off the lights before
starting a play. He also was the first person to make the whole audience sit down for an entire play.
Today, almost all operas are performed in this manner.
     Wagner as a man was even more controversial than Wagner as a writer of music. He hated Jewish
people , slept with his friends' wives,and made many people angry-lots of things we would today think
of as evil. Some would say he was a good musician, while others hold that he was a bad musician. But it
would be difficult to say he was not an important person in music: and in the world.
