If I can travel to the future for one day, I want to see the children there, make friends with them and learn more about the life in the future.

Houses in the future will look like a honeycomb. Many people will live in a building. There will not be any washing machines in the flats because everyone will have a robot to help them.

Do all the housework. There will not be kitchens because people don't have food for their three meals. They take tablets instead. This can save much time. People will have more time for playing with friends and doing sports.

The children in the future will study at home but they can talk to their classmates and teachers onthe Internet. They can see each other's faces too. If they miss their friends, they can take a flying bus and visit them. It will just take a few seconds．What will people's life be like in the future?

   John liked chocolates very much, but his mother never gave him any because they were bad for his teeth. John had a very nice grandfather. The old man loved his grandson very much, and sometimes he bought John chocolates. Then his mother let him eat them, because she wanted to make the old man happy.

One evening, a few days before John's seventh birthday, he was saying his prayers（祈祷）in his bedroom before he went to bed. "Please God," he shouted, "make them give me a big box of chocolates for my birthday on Saturday."

His mother was in the kitchen, but she heard the small boy shouting and went into his bedroom quickly.

"Why are you shouting, John?" she asked him, "God can hear you when you talk quietly." "I know," answered the clever boy with a smile. "But Grandfather's in the next room, and he can't."

   Do you like watching TV game shows? Would you like to take part in them? What do you think of them? A popular TV show might have 70,000,000 TV viewers. TV can make anything or anyone well-known overnight. That's why over 100,000 women and girls, aged 4～89, took part in Hunan TV's 2005 "Super Girl" show. "Super Girl" is so close to us. Every woman or girl can take part in it. The viewers can vote（投票）for their favourite girl on the show through SMS (short message service).

The young will do anything to be on the show on TV. For the show, many girls stop their classes. "They hope they can become super stars some day. But the real way to success is to learn more and work hard," said Liu Ming, a professor of a university.
