I , an alien came into the supermarket.

—I received a letter from my father recently.

—He told him to prepare for the operation.

Welcome to "Share Ideas"! I'm Tony Brown. This is Professor Lira He is a scientist. He has many exciting ideas about life in the future. Let's listen to what he has to say!

"I think in the future, travelling will be much cleaner and safer. Most cars will run on solar energy（太阳能). There will be less pollution. The cars will be driven by computers and there will be no accidents(事故). All of the computers will work together with radio signals(信号)."

    "I also think that people will be able to go back to the past through a time tunnel(隧道). If they do something wrong, they will be able to go back and do it again and try not to make the same mistake."

    "Housework will become much easier because you'll just tell a robot to do it."

"In the future, people will be able to talk with each other on the phone more easily, and you'll be able to see the person you're talking to on the screen of the cellphone."

    What do you think life in the future will be like? Send us a letter.

    What will life be like in the future? Many people, magazines and movies have told us that robots will be able to work for us. Although robots can already make cars, play music and do many trivial things for us, in the future, they can do more things, such as making websites, making houses and so on. Some people even believe that in the future with the help of robots, we needn't work.

    In the future, people might create a "man" that cannot have a will of his own and has to follow orders only from his master(主人). The master must train him mentally with computers. As you know, an adult who follows the same training over and over again will not be able to change without another training. This means the master can have him work in a factory with no payment. And he will still be happy even if he only gets the basic life-support goods, because it's the way he was trained. I believe that this is the reason why the government does not allow any human research.

内容提示：⑴未来我们吃的食物会更健康，大米可能会被红薯(sweet potato)取代；红薯需要的土壤条件不高，它能提供人体需要的能量；

⑵未来我们吃的食物将不像现在这样多数来自陆地，而是来自广阔的海洋；海洋蔬菜更易种植，生活在海里的动物也可以给我们提供更多的白肉；

⑶昆虫会出现在未来的菜单上，它们也会是美味佳肴。

    In the future, our diet may be much healthier than it is now.
