People will work _______ hours than they do now and they will have _____ free time for sports, watching TV and travel. Traveling will be much cheaper and easier. And many more people will go to other countries for holidays.

There will be changes in our food, too. More land will be used for building new towns and houses for all the people. Then there will be less room for cows and sheep, so meat will be more expensive. Maybe no one will eat it every day. Instead they will eat more fruit and vegetables. Maybe people will be healthier.

Do you have an umbrella? Someone invented the umbrella about 4,000 years ago. People used umbrellas in Egypt, Assyria, Greece, and China in ancient times. We use our umbrella for protection from the rain. However, people first used umbrellas for protection from the sun. People in China were the first ones to use their umbrellas for rain. They put wax(蜡纸) on paper umbrellas.

European women used umbrellas before European men used them. Jonas Hanway was the first man to carry one in England. He made umbrellas popular for men and women. Some people called the umbrella a Hanway because of him.

We make umbrellas from many different things. The first ones were wood and cloth. Now many are plastic(塑料). Today umbrellas are easy to carry. They fold up into a small package(包). The umbrella is a great invention. Don’t forget yours the next time when it rains.

Hobbies are activities（活动）, which we do in our free time. There are so many kinds of hobbies one can choose for his or her own. Some hobbies are really expensive, and some are even dangerous.

The most popular hobbies in our country are as follows:

Collecting hobbies We can collect a lot of things. Usually people collect the stamps, postcards or coins. Some people collect unusual things like old cars, old motorbikes or other interesting things, which could be very expensive.

Art hobbies Going to the theatre, concert（音乐会）, opera; playing some instrument ( the most popular instrument is guitar ); painting, writing, poetry. There are many clubs—such as singing, dancing, etc.

Sports games Everybody do some sport activities—sport can keep us fit. Many students are members of a sports club—basketball, volleyball or swimming.

The other popular hobby is watching TV or a video, playing computer or video games, but it is not so good for your eyes and your mind. Many people here like to spend their free time reading books, magazines and newspapers. Some people like listening to music better. Going out can be very expensive now.

Many students would like to make use of their hobbies in their future jobs, e.g. working with computer, but it is not so easy. Hobbies are very important for everybody. A man would be very poor without a hobby and would not be pleased.

Mr. Ma, a famous mental (心理的)doctor from Beijing once said at an important meeting, “Now many young students can have ① with their minds. Some students become worried because they have to study very hard. Others have trouble getting on well with people around them like their parents and classmates. Parents and teachers should care more about this problem.”

Then Mr. Ma gave some examples. One patient, a middle school students from Xi’an was doing badly in his lessons. He thought his teachers and friends often laughed at him, and he became so nervous and worried that one night he left his home without telling parents. Another student, a 14-year-old schoolgirl from Shanghai, was very afraid of exams. While she was reading the exam paper, she couldn’t think of anything to write.

A recent report from Jiefang Daily says about 18% of the young students in Shanghai have mental problems. They often felt worried and very ② . Unluckily many of them won’t go and ask for help. Some think they will look stupid (愚蠢) if they go to see a doctor. Others won’t talk about their secrets.

At the end of the meeting, Mr. Ma offered some good ideas to young people:

Talk to your parents or teachers often.

Take part in group activities.

Try to get on well with the people around you.

Go to see a doctor if you often feel unhappy.
