Life in the 22^nd century will be different from that in the 21^st century because many changes will happen in the new century. 1_____ what will the changes be?
First, the population is growing very fast. There 2      more and more people in the world and most of them will live longer than before. Computers will be 3     smaller and more useful, and there will be 4     one in every home. And 5      studies will be one of the most important subjects in schools.
Second, people will work 6      hours than they are doing in the 21^st century. They’ll have more free time for sports, watching TV and7    . Traveling will also be cheaper and easier. And more people will go to8      countries for holidays.
Third, there will be changes in our food, too. People will use more land to 9      new towns and houses. Then there will be less room for cows and sheep, so 10       will be more expensive. Maybe no one eat it everyday; 11     , they will eat more vegetables and fruit. Maybe people will be 12     .
Last, work in the future will be13      , too. Robots will do the 14     and hard work. Because of this, many people won’t have 15     work to do. This will be a problem.

Someone is singing next door, but you feel unhappy because her singing is terrible. So you think she is just making noise. We know that too much noise makes people feel terrible.

Scientists are still trying to find out more about noise, but already it is known that a noise of over 85 decibels(分贝) can make some people tried and anxious(焦虑的).

In the past we thought only workers in very noisy places became deaf easily. Today, scientists believe that 10% of all workers in Britain become deaf in their work.

There are also new dangers from noise. Pop music, for example, can reach 120 decibels when it is played loudly five feet away! Only a plane can make such loud noise when it takes off.

There was an experiment in the United States. Some people would be given a lot of money if they stood below a jet when it was taking off over their heads. No one got the money after the jet flew past because all of them died in the noise.

People can’t pay their attention on what they are doing when there is much noise. Workers in noisy offices, for example, do their work more slowly than workers in quiet offices. Another study shows that workers in factories can do dull(枯燥的) jobs better when lively music is played for them.

Some students, parents and teachers in Shanghai were surveyed last month. According to the result of the survey, the generation gap(代沟) between students and parents as well as teachers is becoming wider. Here is what they said.
Voice of the students:
“Our parents hold too high expectations which put us under lots of pressure. They care too much about our lives and studies,” one student said.
“It’s impolite that some students’ parents read their children’s diaries without permission!” one student said angrily.
“Some of our teachers are so serious that we can’t make friends with them at all,” another student said sadly.
Voice of the parents:
One mother said, “After school, my daughter usually locks herself into her room and spends lots of time talking with others on the phone. And I can’t stand her clothes and hairstyle!”
“I thought my son was doing very well in his studies. I didn’t realize I was being cheated by him until I got a call from his teacher,” said a father.
Voice of the teachers:
An English teacher said, “Today, the role of the teacher is to put knowledge into students’ brains. The power of teachers has kept students away from them.”
“Some parents pay too much attention to their children’s grades instead of creating a lively and colorful environment at home,” another teacher said.
“In the past, teachers and students often played games together or talked with each other. Today, only studies and grades are talked about,” said a teacher. “A school should be a place where students can learn not only knowledge, but also how to face failure and frustration bravely enough.
