　　I think life will be very different in one hundred years' time. Some things will be better and some things will be worse.

　　Firstly, people won't live on the surface(表面) of the earth. 1 Special machines will provide oxygen(氧气) and light but the environment won't be the same. Trees and plants won't grow because there won't be any soil. 2 Food will mainly be in the form of pills(药丸). If the sea isn't too polluted, people will also eat fish. What is more, I think people's everyday life will be different. 3 No one will have to do housework either. So, people will have more free time arid they will be able to enjoy the things they like－sports, for example. Finally, I believe that everyone will be able to travel to the moon, to other planets and perhaps even to other galaxies(星系) for a holiday.

　　In conclusion(总之), 4 Whatever happens, though, I'm sure the future will be an interesting place to live in.

A．They won't have to work long hours because computers and robots will help them.

B．Our cities will be under the sea, in large domes(圆顶屋).

C．I think that life in the future won't be anything like it is now.

D．As a result, people won't be able to grow crops.

5．What is the best title of the passage?

[　　]

A．Life under the sea.

B．The future world.

C．Future life in my mind.

D．An interesting place to live in.
