We don’t know how different. our life will be in the future. We can only try to imagine it.

At first we think about human relationships. In the year 2050, we will use computers almost every day. We will be making new friends through the Internet-even our husbands or wives will be met in this way. It will be much faster and easier for us. On the other hand, our relationships with people won’t be as important as they are today-we will feel a little lonely.

Computers will also help us in many other activities in 2050. For example, they will be used by the children at school to make their learning easier. In addition, there will be much more other machines which will play a similar role as computers, like robots which will do the housework for us.

Spending holidays will also be completely different. Travelling to other planets or to the moon will be available for everyone. Means of transport will, of course, change, too. We will be using solar-powered cars, which will be much more environmentally friendly.

We could expect that the faster technological progress would lead to a more polluted environment. But it isn’t true. We will pay more attention to the environment protection. Scientists will probably find cures for many dangerous diseases, like cancer or AIDS. Therefore, ’our surroundings as well as our health will be in better condition.

Although we can’t predict the exact changes which will be made in the world, we often think about them. We worry about our and our children’s future ; we have expectations, hopes as well as fears. But I think we should be rather sanguine about our future. We should be happy and believe good things will happen.

12. Why will people probably feel a little lonely in 2050?

A. The number of people will become much smaller.  B. There will be less face-to-face communication.

13. What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us?

A. Computers will do all the things for human beings.

B. How people will use computers to communicate with each other.

C. Machines like computers and robots will help people a lot.

D. How people will use robots to do the housework.

14. What does the underlined word “ sanguine” in the last paragraph most probably mean?

A. Disappointed.  B. Surprised.  C. Curious.   D. Optimistic.

15. What does the text mainly talk about?

A. How people will communicate in the year 2050.

B. What our life will be like in the year 2050.

C. How people will travel and spend their holidays in the year 2050.
