Life in the twenty-first century will be very different from life today. Between then and now many changes will take place, but what will the changes be?
The population is growing fast. There will be many people in the world and most of them will live longer than people live now.
Computers will be much smaller and more useful, and there will be at least one in every home. And computer studies will be one of the important subjects in schools then.
People will work fewer hours than they do now and they will have more free time for sports, watching TV and travelling. Travelling will be much easier and cheaper. And many more people will go to other countries for holidays.
There will be changes in our food, too. Maybe no one will eat meat every day, instead they eat more fruit and vegetables. Maybe people will be healthier.

Gloria arrived in Barbados on 26 January, 2008 after rowing * across the Atlantic for three months and a half. Gloria was in one of 36 small wooden rowing boats that set off on 7 October, 2007 from Tenerife Island on the Atlantic Rowing Challenge Race*. Each boat was exactly the same design and each one had food for the journey *. There were two people in each boat and their challenge was to row across the Atlantic, a journey of about 3 ,360 kilometres.
Gloria began the journey with her husband in a small boat. However, after 14 days he became very afraid of the huge ocean and was
not able to go on, so he left her with the help of a helping boat. This did not make Gloria give up. Instead, she decided that she would continue by herself. So, for the next hundred days, she rowed her small boat alone and fought against the waves and the winds, and her own fears.
When she finally arrived in Barbados, Gloria was not willing to leave her boat although her husband and family were there to greet her. She sat so long in the boat that she could hardly stand, her husband had to carry her off the boat. After that, the first thing she did was to drink a toast * to her small boat, the very special lady. This lady carried her safely through many storms on her long journey and she loved it.
Gloria is really a brave woman. She has become the tenth woman in the world to row across the Atlantic. Like the others, she has experienced great joys and terrible things.

I recently heard a story about a famous scientist. Because of his great achievements(成就), he was thought to be more creative（有创造性的）than the average (一般的) person. When He (1) ____________ (ask) why he was able to do this, he gave the answer. It all came from an experience with his mother when he was about two years old. “I (2) ____________ (try) to get a bottle of milk from the fridge when I lost the bottle and it fell, spilling（溢出）the milk all over the floor — a sea of milk! I was frightened and I didn’t know what to do!”he said.
His mother heard the noise and got into the kitchen. “I (3) ______________ (consider）how to explain all this to you, mom.” He said. Instead of (4) ____________ (punish) him, she said, “Robert, what a great mess(杂乱) you have made! I (5) ____________ (not see) such a huge sea of milk before! Well, since the milk has already been spilled, would you like (6) ____________ (play) in the milk for a while? We (7) ____________ (clean) it up after that.” Indeed, he did so. After a few minutes, his mother said, “You know, Robert, whenever you (8) ____________ (make) a mess like this, finally you have to clean it up.” He used a sponge(海绵) and together they cleaned up the spilled milk.
His mother then said, “You know, we (9) ____________（fail）in how to successfully carry a big milk bottle with two tiny hands just now. Let’s go out in the yard and fill the bottle with water to see if you (10) ____________ (discover) a way to carry it.” Then the little boy learned that if he grasped (抓紧) the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it.
