未来是一个抽象的代名词，触摸不到，感受不到。但每个人都有对未来生活美好的向往，有人畅想未来城市生活的美好，有人畅想科技的日新月异，还有人畅想未来生活的便捷。正是我们有了对未来生活的美好憧憬，我们才有了努力奋发向前的动力。 It's exciting to imagine how future humans will have solved the problems we have now，or what amazing new inventions will make our lives more convenient and interesting. ◆Robots will do your chores and more. Robots will be doing most of our jobs，from building homes to teaching math.There are already robots that clean floors and pump gas.In the future they will be more complicated and useful.Unfortunately，with robots taking all the jobs，unemployment will be high. ◆You will read minds. Speaking of being social，we will communicate in an entirely different way.Forget texts and e­mails.Mind­reading technology will allow us to send thoughts to each other without speaking a word.We will also be able to send thoughts to objects around us.(Instead of pressing “start” on the microwave，you could just think “start”．) Meanwhile，chips implanted in our brains will improve memory and intelligence. ◆Your car will drive you. Today，around 30，000 Americans die in car accidents each year.One hundred years from now，accidents will be a thing of the past.According to Mark Safford，consultant of the U．S.Department of Transportation，future cars will drive themselves.These electric cars will communicate with other cars on the road to travel safely in close formation at high speeds. ◆You will eat fake meat. Raising animals is not the best way to produce food，and it harms the environment.Today，scientists can “grow” meat in a lab from animal cells，but it's expensive and not very delicious.In the future，they will have perfected the process.You'll order hamburgers that come from factories，not cows.Scientists may even find ways to make lab­grown meat tastier and healthier than the real thing.
