Most people agree that there will be changes in the future. However, many people don't agree on what the changes will be, especially when we look further and further ahead.
Changes that may come soon the easier to be predicated (预报). That is because they may have already started. Also, there has not been enough time for great unknowns to start up and affect the changes.
One change that most people agree on is that the world will have more people. In part this is because of better health care. Older people will live longer, and fewer babies will die.
Another change that many people agree on is that oil and its products will cost more. Oil is a natural resource (资源). We are beginning to use it up. As we use up more oil, there will be less left in the world. That will make the remaining oil worth more money. So the remaining oil will cost its users more.
America has built a spaceship. This spaceship will soon travel almost weekly between the earth and space just above Earth's atmosphere. America's spaceship will change the way we view space travel. In the past, only a few highly-trained people went into space. Soon the spaceship will take many kinds of people and things. Room on the spaceship has even been bought for the science students in the Clear Creek School District near Houston, Texas. College students are going too. Businesses are also planning to send workers and machines into space.
