Life in the twenty-first century will be very different from life today. Between then and now many
changes will take place, but what will the changes be?
The population is growing fast. There will be many people in the world and most of them will live
longer than people live now.
Computers will be much smaller and more useful, and there will be at least one in every home.
And computer studies will be one of the important subjects in schools then.
People will work fewer hours than they do now and they will have more free time for sports,
watching TV and travelling. Travelling will be much easier and cheaper. And many more people will
go to other countries for holidays.
There will be changes in our food, too. Maybe no one will eat meat every day, instead they eat
more fruit and vegetables. Maybe people will be healthier.
Work in the future will be different, too. Dangerous and hard work can be done by robots.
Because of this, many people will not have enough work to do. This will be a problem. |

Pollution
Hundreds of years ago, life was much harder than it is today. People didn"t have modern machines.
There was no modern medicine, either.
Life today has brought new problems. One of the biggest is pollution (污染). Water pollution has
made our rivers and lakes dirty. It kills our fish and polluted our drinking water. Noise pollution makes
us talk louder and become angry more easily. Air pollution is the most serious kind of pollution. It"s
bad to all living things in the world.
Cars, planes and factories all pollute our air every day. Sometimes the polluted air is so thick that
it is like a quilt over a city. This kind of quilt is called smog(烟雾).
Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. Factories must now clean their water before it
is thrown away, they mustn"t blow dirty smoke into the air.
We need to do many other things. We can put waste things in the dustbin and not throw it on the
ground. We can go to work by bus or with our friends in the same car. If there are fewer people driving,
there will be less pollution.
Rules are not enough. Every person must help to fight pollution. |

When the earthquake hit Japan on March 11, 2011, workers in a supermarket in Japan didn"t run away
when they felt the shaking. Instead, they held on to the shelves and tried to stop the goods from falling
down.
Reporters from NHK, the country"s largest TV station, stayed calm in front of cameras during the earth
quake, even though some were facing real danger.
The earthquake was the most powerful one to hit Japan in the country"s history. But Japan"s reaction to
the earthquake has shown that it is the most earthquake-prepared (有准备的) country in the world. The
calm that Japanese showed during and after the quake has impressed the world.
This is because Japan has an earthquake culture. Japanese people are taught how to prepare for and
react to an earthquake from a young age.
One way kids learn about earthquake safety is from the cartoon character Maruko, a 9-year-old
student. In Chibi Maruko-Chan (《樱桃小丸子》), Maruko has to wear a protective (防护的) hat in
an earthquake practice. Schools in Japan organize earthquake practices every month. They make students
become familiar (熟悉的) with being in an earthquake.
Japan also has a good earthquake warning (警报) system. Warnings were broadcast on TV, the radio
and cell phones eight seconds after experts first knew about the quake on March 11. The warning system
is unable to predict an earthquake, but it can usually alert (提醒) people about 15 seconds before they
feel the effects. Even 15 or 20 seconds can be enough to save people"s lives. |

C. Few people were hurt during the Japan earthquake on March 11, 2011.
