W:Hello, Mr.Tompkins.Our newspaper is going to print an article about new products.Could you tell me about the new home your company has built？I understand it promises to be a model for the houses of the future.

M:Certainly.The idea is not to have a house full of different things.This is a complete home system.It will make people’s lives easier.

W:OK! So tell me how this house will make my life easier?

M:When you arrive at the front door, you won’t need a key.The door will open with a touch of your finger.You’ll be able to call your refrigerator when you’re at the grocery store and find out how much you need to buy.Isn’t it wonderful?

W:Can I call the washing machine as well?

M:Sure.But you won’t need to.The house comes with a robot.It is programmed to clean the house and do the washing.

W:What does it cost?

M:A million dollars.

W:A million dollars! It will be the 22nd century before I can afford to buy one！
