Cyril Dick’s house is neither a modem house nor a house of the future. It is 40 years old. There are more houses like that in the south of France. They are called “bubble houses”，and you can see why!
Cyril Dick is a designer and he loves round things. He collects old records and clocks. He also collects round furniture. And now he has a completely round house.
Everything in the “bubble house” is round. The centre of the house is one very big bubble. This is both the living room and dining room. There are round armchairs, a round table, and a big round rug (地挖）in front of a round fireplace. Around the living room are three small bubbles. One bubble is a kitchen with round shelves, another bubble is the garden room, and the third bubble is a music room. Upstairs there are two more bubbles—a bedroom and a bathroom.
The doors and windows are also round, of course. The windows are like eyes. There aren’t any curtains (窗帘)in the house, because Cyril likes to see the garden all the time.
Bubble houses are the idea of a Hungarian architect (建筑师)，Antti Lovag.“A lot of modem houses are bad for us, especially tall buildings of flats，”says Lovag. ''Because round homes are more natural people feel happy in them.” Cyril agrees with this. “Some people think my house is funny,,he says, “but for me, this is the perfect home.”

“Tom? Are you in bed yet?” called Mrs. White. There was no answer. Mrs. White put down her book and went to her 14-year-old son’s room. Tom was sitting in front of a bright computer screen on which a motorbike was running fast.
“Oh, Tom. You’re still playing that computer game. You must stop now, because it’s half past eleven. If you don’t go to bed soon, you’ll be very tired tomorrow. ” said Mrs. White.
“But I’ve nearly won the game. ” Tom said to Mrs. White. She could see the excitement on his face. She sat down beside him.
“You’re always playing on the computer. You spend more time on this machine than on your homework. ”
Today more and more families have computers. Parents hope computers can help their children improve their study at school. But many of their children use computers to play games and watch videos instead of studying. We often see that computer net bars are crowded with people, especially young boys. They spend a lot of money competing(竞争) with the computerized (用计算机控制的) machines. The more they lose, the more they want to win. The result is that they don’t want to work or study.
In some countries, even scientists hate computers. They say computers cause millions of people to lose their jobs or cause them a lot of trouble. Computer game addiction(瘾) is a serious problem in social(社会的) life. Something should have to be done to solve the problem.

A kind of little cars may take the place of today’s big ones many years later. If everyone drives such cars in the future, there will be less pollution in the air. There will also be more space for parking in cities, and the streets will be less crowded.
The little cars of the future will cost less. Driving will be safer, too, since these little cars can go only 65 kilometers an hour. The cars of the future will be fine for going around a city, but they will not be useful for a long way. Little cars will go 450 kilometers before they need to stop for more gasoline (汽油). If big cars are still used with the small ones, two kinds of roads will be needed in the future. Some roads will be needed for the big, faster cars and other roads will be needed for the small, slower ones.
