Someday in the future we may not need to have money in our pockets. Is life easier when people don't need to carry any currency at all? Is money heavy to carry? Is it safe to carry money? Maybe in the future each of us will have only one small plastic credit card. We will use it to buy all the things we now buy with money. We will not need money to pay for things.
Of course we may still have some of the same problems with cards we now have with money. Sometimes we lose money. Maybe we will lose the cards. Maybe someone will take the card. Someone may even make a card that looks like our card. Since we can't buy anything without our cards, the credit card may be no better than currency.
Is there something easier to use than credit card? Each of us has a thumbprint (拇指纹). No two thumbprints are the same. Maybe someday the government will keep people's thumbprints with a number. When you want to buy something you will put your thumb on a machine or a computer. Each store or business will have one. Everyone's thumbprint will be in the computers. It will be very difficult to lose our thumbprints! It will be difficult for someone to steal it or to make one like it.

Everyone wants to own the friendship, because without a friend, the world is like a desert. The
friendship is thought very important. Too many people want others to be their friends, but they don’t give
friendship back. That is one of the causes why some friendships don’t last very long. To have a friend, you
must learn to be one. You must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend to treat you.
Learning to be a good friend means learning the following rules.
Honesty is where a good friendship starts. Friends must be able to trust one another. If you don’t tell
the truth, people usually find out, and you may lose your friend’s trust. Good friends always trust in one
another to speak and do things honestly.
Generosity means sharing and sharing makes a friendship grow. You don’t have to give your lunch
money or your clothes, of course. Instead you share your ideas and feelings. These can be valuable to a
friend. They tell your friend what is important to you. By sharing them, you help your friends know you
better.
Sooner or later everyone needs understanding and help with a problem. Something may go wrong at
school. Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve. Turning to a friend can be a first step in
solving the problem. So to be a friend you must listen and understand. You must try to put yourself in your
friend’s place, so you can understand the problem better.
No two friendships are ever exactly alike. But all true friendships have three things in common. In
fact, good friendship will just not easily last. That is to say, you must give as much as you take, or
friendship will die away.
