　　 我们的未来会是什么样的呢？日新月异的高新技术让我们对未来充满憧憬，我们是世界的主人，让我们自由地畅想我们的未来吧！

　　 Have you ever thought about the future life? Without any doubt, our future will be dominated by advanced science and technology. Here are some forecasts for the future.

　　 Nanotechnology(纳米技术) will be used for everything. It can help guarantee the health of soldiers in the battlefield, and it also helps transform waste into foods that can be eaten. Medical treatments based on nanotechnology will be put into practice before 2025.

　　 Genetic engineering(遗传工程) will allow us to create the perfect human. Parents might order a baby who will have the appearance of a Barbie doll. Powerful little motors will be added to small babies so that they can fly.

　　 Future web sites will be made more interesting by making them more personal. People will choose to create a personal site that represents them. Just like a shadow, it will reflect the true self of a person. Photo albums and video clips kept in personal files give friends and families more pleasure. In this way, many people will stay closely connected in our disconnected world.

　　 Wireless technology will be well used in hospitals to help doctors carry out an operation. Wearable computers and mattresses with sensors will help nurses look after patients. The technology will accurately master patients’vital signs.

　　 Wind and tidal power will grow considerably in the next five years. Since they are clean and produce no pollution, they will be widely used around the world. Traditional energy, such as gas, coal will gradually give way to clean renewable energy.

　　 However, besides the bright prospects, here is also some deadly news. The environment will still deteriorate, the population may still increase and our world may not be in peace. However, we are the future generation and we have the ability to choose to help ourselves create a more beautiful and peaceful world.

　　 小词典

　　 dominate v.支配 guarantee v.保证wearable adj.可佩带的sensor n.传感器vital adj.生命的deteriorate v.恶化
