Tom
and Fred are talking about the year 2050.
"What
will 1 be
like in the year 2050?" asks Tom.
"I
don't know," says Fred. "What do you think?"
"well,
no one knows. But it's 2 to
guess", says Tom. "In the year 2050, everybody will 3 a pocket (袖珍的) computer. The computer will give people the 4 to solve all their problems. We will all have
phones in our pockets 5.
And we can talk to our friends all over the world. We can 6 them at the same time. Machines will do 7 of
the work, and people will have more 8. Maybe they'll work for only two or
three days a week. They can fly to the Moon by spaceship and spend their
holidays there."
"I'm
very 9 to hear that. I hope to fly to the Moon. And I
also hope I can live 10,"
says Fred. "Won't that be interesting?"
