Life in the future will be different from life today. Between then and now many changes will happen. But what will the changes be?

The population(人口) is growing fast. There will be many people in the word and most of them will live longer than people live now.

Computers will be much smaller and more useful. And there will be at least one in every home. And computer studies will be one of the important subjects in school then. People will work fewer hours than they do now and they will have more free time for sports, watching TV and traveling. Traveling will be much cheaper and easier. And many more people will go to other countries for holidays.

There will be changes in our food, too. More land will be u sed for building new towns and houses for all the people. Then there will be less room for cows and sheep, so meat will be more expensive. Maybe no one will eat meat every day. Instead they will eat more fruit and vegetables. Maybe people will be healthier.

Winter is a time for many exciting sports: sledding (乘雪橇), skating and skiing. Skating and skiing need lots of skills. Sledding gives you good exercise and is lots of fun!

A sled looks like a boat. It can move easily over snow or ice. Early sleds were made of wood. Now some better sleds are made of glass.

Sleds can be pulled(被拉)by animals. In some very cold parts of the world, people make animals like dogs, horses, and reindeer (驯鹿) pull(拉) goods(货物) or people in sleds.

People also sled for sports and fun. Driving a sled does not need much skill. The driver gives a kick(踢) in the snow to start the sled. He or she can also ask someone else for help. In a sled, there can be one person(人) or several(几个).

Usually, you have to lie on your back, feet first in a sled. As you travel, you move your body and feet to keep it in the right direction (方向).

There is a special sled called the skeleton sled (骨架雪橇). It’s very different.

On a skeleton, you lie on your stomach and drive the sled in a head-first way. It is very fast! Many people are afraid to ride it. But once they try it, they want to do it again!
