Can you imagine traveling to work in a one-man submarine? Some scientists believe that some day one-man submarines will be as numerous (许多) as automobiles are today. A famous French driver says, “One day soon, men will walk on the ocean floor as they do on the street!” Perhaps during your lifetime people will travel, work, and live in the sea.
If human beings want to live in the ocean, many human problems will need to be studied first. Some of these problems, similar to those of living in outer space, are pressure, lack of oxygen and weightlessness. Many questions remain unanswered．For example, can our blood adjust itself to underwater surroundings? What will happen to our muscle if we live in the water very long? Scientists are searching for answers.
Perhaps in the future man will live in the sea, away from the crowded and noisy cities on land．The sea has plenty of space, not only for floating communities (团体) and parks, but also for storing supplies and for underwater travel.
Some scientists believe that ocean living will benefit man in more than physical ways. In the freedom and beauty of the deep sea, man may find new sources of joy.

Deciding what to watch on TV is a battle of wills that is fought in homes all over the world. According to psychologists （心理学家）, it is much more serious than simply deciding between a soap opera and a sports program, or between pop music and politics. This television conflict is part of a bigger power game which goes on in homes, even though most of the players do not realize that they are playing a game at all. “It’s such a game as is not easy to notice,” says psychologist Dr. David Lewis, “that many people don’t even know they’re playing it.”

Unconsciously, people begin to play the game as soon as they meet their future husband and wife. By the time toe couple get married, the rules of game are already formed.

Similarly, she may decide on how the home should be decorated, but he chooses the new car and decides what the family does at weekends.

“Family power struggles are interesting,” says Dr. Lewis. “Of course, some people are naturally more dominant （占统治地位） than others, and the most dominant personality in a family tries to lead. These days, even though some many couples make a special effort to have a true and equal partnership, men generally have a greater need to appear to be in physical control. Women, on the other hand, are not so interested in physical control as in emotional control. On the whole, they’re more controlling and can make the man think of something as his idea in the first place.”
