Welcome to your future life!
You get up in the morning and look into the mirror.Your face is firm and younglooking.In 2035,medical technology is better than ever.Many people your age could live to be 150,so at 40,you're not old at all.And your parents just had an antiaging(抗衰老的) treatment.Now,all three of you look the same age!
You say to your shirt,“Turn red.” It changes from blue to red.In 2035,“smart clothes” contain particles(粒子) much smaller than the cells in your body.The particles can be programmed to change your clothes' color or pattern.
You walk into the kitchen.You pick up the milk,but a voice says,“You shouldn't drink that” Your fridge has read the chip (芯片) that contains information about the milk,and it knows the milk is old.In 2035,every article of food in the grocery store has such a chip.
It's time to go to work.In 2035,cars drive themselves.Just tell your “smart car” where to go.On the way,you can call a friend using your jacket sleeve.Such “smart technology” is all around you.
So will all these things come true?“For new technology to succeed,” says scientist Andrew Zolli,“it has to be so much better that it replaces what we have already.” The Internet is one example—what will be the next?

One day a famous speaker gave a speech to a crowd of people. He held up a 21 bill. He asked, “Who would like this $20 bill ? ” Hands were 22 . Then he said, “I am going to give this $20 to one of you, but first let me do this.” He began to crumple(弄皱)the 23 . He then asked the audience, “ 24 still wants it ?” Still the hands went 25 in the air.
“ What 26 I do this? ” He asked, and he 27 it on the ground, and started to step on it. He 28 it up. Now the bill was 29 and crumpled. “ Now who still wants it?” Still the hands went up.
“My friends,” He continued, “You have all 30 a good lesson . No matter 31 I did to the money, you still wanted it because the bill did not lose its 32 . It was still worth $20. Many times in our 33 , we are dropped, crumpled, and stepped on, because we sometimes 34 wrong decisions, or we may 35 with something we do not 36 .When that happens, we feel depressed and think we are 37 . But in fact no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value. The worth of our life comes not 38 what we do or whom we know, but in who we are! Don’t forget ‘the worth of a thing does not depend on its outside 39 , but on its inner value.’ This is the 40 of life.
