                                                                   World Future Society

People

    People may live for up to 120 years and use new technology to help when people go blind, deaf

and have other problems. The number of people over a hundred years old could go from 135,000

today to 2.2 million people by 2050. By 2015 people think that 100 million workers will be able to

work from home for a company in a different country by using the Internet.

Money

    Worldwide e-business will become even more successful with online shops that sell special products

for each person, which will be brought to their house the next day.

Environment

    The technology for making energy from wind and the Sun is growing very quickly. In the future

wind and Sun energy could become much cheaper and many more countries could use it. This would

be very useful in poor countries. The air in big cities would also become much cleaner and healthier as

a result.

Society and culture

    The Internet will help to create more worldwide friendships. Families may spend more time together

as people will be able to do 24-hour online banking and shopping.

Technology

    The new science of "nanotechnology" (very small robots or machines) will make all sorts of products

smaller and lighter. Very, very small machines could take away rubbish, make things in factories, and

有一天,一个学生问他的哲学老师什么是爱情,老师就让他到苹果园里去,摘一个最大最红的苹果来,这期间只能摘一次,并且只可以向前走,不能回头。学生于是按照老师说的去做了,结果他两手空空地走出了果园。老师问他为什么没摘到苹果,他说:“因为只能摘一次,又不能走回头路,一路上即使见到又大又红的苹果,但是因为不知道后面是否有更好的,所以没有摘。走到后面时,又发现后面的苹果总不如前面见到的好,于是我什么也没摘到。”老师说:“这就是爱情。”

之后又有一天,学生问老师什么是婚姻,老师叫他到森林里,砍下一棵最大、最茂盛、最适合放在家做圣诞树的树。和上次一样,只能砍一次,只可以向前走,不能回头。这次,学生带回了一棵不是很茂盛,但也不算太差的树回来。老师问他:“怎么带了这么一棵普普通通的树回来”他说:“有了上一次的教训,当我走到一大半的路程还是两手空空时,看到这棵树虽然不算好,但也不算太差,就砍了下来,不然的话,最后又什么也带不回来了。”老师说:“这就是婚姻。”

人生就像穿过果园和树林,只走一次,不能回头一样。要找到属于自己最好的苹果和大树,你必须要有莫大的勇气和辨别的能力。

去苹果园摘苹果时,老师要求:()

A.不要破坏果树

B.不能走回头路

C.半小时内完成

D.只能一个人去
