What picture do you have of the future? Will life in the future be better, worse or the same as now? What do you hope for about the future? Scientists think that life will probably be very different in 2050.
First of all, it seems that people won’t use TV channels(频道) by 2050. Instead, people will choose a program from a “menu” and a computer will send the program directly to the television.
Water will become a very serious problem. We’ll need much more water, but there won’t be enough. Some scientists think that water would be the cause of war(战争).
Cars will run on new, clean energy and they will go very fast. And there won’t be any accidents with the help of computers. On the other hand, space planes will take people around the world in two hours.
Robots will work in factories instead of people. Many factories have already used robots. Big companies prefer robots－they do not ask for money, and they work for 24 hours a day…
In a word, by 2050, our life will change a lot and our future will be quite different from now.

A professor(教授) from a university did a famous study in a school. At the start of the school year, the te achers got the names of five children. The school told the teachers that these five were the most excellent students in the class. But the fact was that they were not the best students at all. Well, guess what? At the end of the year, all the five average students scored among the highest in the class.
What made these average students change so much to become top students? The only difference was the change in their teachers’ attitude(态度). Because the teachers believed that these five kids were the top students，they expected(期望) more from them. And so these five average students began to believe and expect more from themselves. So they worked harder to do as well as they could.
Do you know? If you expect the best from people, they’ll usually want to give you their best. Like the true story of 7-year-old Johnny, his teacher got so angry with him that one day she said, “Johnny, you’re the naughtiest(最顽皮的) boy in this class. I’m sure you’ll never change.” The next year Johnny had a new teacher. And on the first day of class, she met with Johnny after school and said, “Johnny, I’ve heard a lot about you! But do you know that I don’t believe a word o f it.” And every day after that, this new teacher treated Johnny as if he was one of the smartest students even when Johnny did naughty things. 后来，约翰尼成为了一个好学生。 Because that’s the power of our belief(信任) and attitude toward children.

My Favorite Festival
There are many traditional festivals in China. I like the Spring Festival best. It is a very important festival in our country. P eople all over the country celebrate it. It is always in January or February.
Before it comes, my parents usually get new clothes ready for me. On the Spring Festival Eve, all the family members come back home and have a big family dinner. When we enjoy the meal, we give each other our best wishes for the coming year. After dinner, we watch TV together.
On the first day of the Spring Festival, we often visit our friends. Children can get lucky money from their grandparents, parents, uncles and aunts. We all have a good time during the festival.
