Life in 2060

Let's suppose it is a common day of 2060. Of course things have changed and life is very different.

Trips to the moon are being made every day. At a number of scenic spots(风景胜地)on the moon, many hotels have been built. In order that everyone can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the moon, every room has at least one window.

Because people in the world today are many more than those about fifty years ago, most of the earth's surface has to be filled. The deserts are irrigated with water and crops are no longer eaten by pests(害虫). 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 using a few computers.

People are now largely vegetarians, and they eat only bread,vegetables, fruit and so on and they don't eat meat or fish. You see, as the number of people increases(增加), the number of animals decreases. So people have to be vegetarians. We know how to deal with all kinds of illnesses. No one has to be ill any more.

Such would be our life in 2060.
