It might sound like a terrible dream, but a new design from Dubaibased airline Emirates plans to remove windows from airplanes. Instead of reallife views of clouds and sky, firstclass passengers will look out of “virtual (虚拟的) windows”, enjoying projected views of the world passing by. Emirates' “windows” use real time hightech camera technology to provide virtual views of the outside world.
Saj Ahmad, Chief analyst at Strategic Aero Research says, “Windowless airplanes sound great—however, in reality, it won't happen for a number of reasons. For starters, in the event of an emergency, people in the plane often need to look out for reference points. Having visual awareness is important and in a windowless jet, they don't exist—especially if there is an electrical fault which then means that the ‘electric’ windows do not work and you can't see outside.” Ahmad was also concerned about passenger comfort. “Passengers simply do love the natural view outside,” he says. “There are also other problems—the change involved would certainly require new tests.”
Other futuristic airplane designs are going the opposite way. Boeing's Dreamliner—its most modern design—features large windows. Airbus has also designed a plane with transparent (透明的) walls that is presented at the 2011 Paris Air Show. Embraer has planned the Kyoto cabin, designed for its Lineage 1000E aircraft, which features large windows running along the majority of the walls of the cabin.
There could also be a move towards pilotless planes in the future—but Ahmad applies his doubts about windowless planes to droneflown (无人驾驶的) planes too. “The idea of windowless planes is possible—that doesn't mean it will happen,” says Ahmad. “The same applies to drone technology—but that doesn't mean that tomorrow we're suddenly going to see all airplanes being flown without pilots.”

It's 2035.You have a job, a family and you're about 40 years old. Welcome to your future life. Getting ready for work, you pause in front of the mirror, “Turn red,” you say. Your shirt changes from sky blue to deep red. Tiny preprogrammed electronics are rearranged (重新排列) in your shirt to change its color. Looking into the mirror, you find it hard to believe that you are 40. You look much younger. With amazing advances in medicine, people in your generation may live to be 150 years old. You're not even middleaged.
As you go into the kitchen and prepare to pour your cereal (谷类) breakfast into a bowl, you hear: “To lose weight, you shouldn't eat that,” from your shoes. They read the tiny electronic code on the cereal box to find out the nutrition details. You decide to listen to your shoes. “Kitchen, what can I have for breakfast?” A list of possible foods appears on the counter as kitchen checks its food supplies.
“Ready for your trip to space?” You ask your son and daughter. In 2005 only specially trained astronauts went into space—and very few of them. Today anyone can go to space for day trips or longer vacation. Your best friend even works in space. Handing your children three strawberries each, you add, “The doctor said you need these for space travel.” Thanks to medical advances, vaccination shots (疫苗注射) are a thing of the past. Ordinary foods contain specific vaccines. With the berries in their mouths, the kids head for the front door.
It's time for you to go to work. Your car checks your fingerprints and unlocks the doors. “My office. Autopilot (自动驾驶),” you command. Your car drives itself down the road and moves smoothly into traffic on the highway. You sit back and unroll your enewspaper. The latest news downloads and fills the viewer. Looking through the pages, you watch the news as video films rather than read it.

Advantages and disadvantages
of using a translator pen
Recently, our class discussed the advantages and disadvantages of using translator pens.
Some students prefer translator pens. They think the translator pen brings great convenience to their study. As long as they come across the English texts that they do not understand, the translator pen can quickly translate for them. However, there are still some students who object to the use of translator pens. They think that the translator pen makes them lazier, making them not good at thinking. In addition, the translator pen is sometimes too stiff, which is not conducive to their flexible understanding.
Personally, I advocate avoiding the use of translator pens as much as possible and actively thinking, looking up words in the dictionary, or discussing with teachers when problems arise.
