【内容提示】
让你的想像力飞往2040年,用英语描述那时一天的生活情景。内容要点如下:
①早上7点你醒了,妻子还在睡觉。你赶紧起床,因为9点钟在天津有一个重要会议。
②你让机器人去准备早饭,你自己去冲了个澡。冲完澡,早饭已做好了。你吃着饭,觉得还是妻子做得好吃。
③你走出别墅,开出办公型上海牌轿车,定好目的地和到达时间就出发了。时速180公里,公路很畅通。
④开完会,你觉得很累。你步出会议室,呼吸着新鲜的空气。花儿香,鸟儿唱,一派美景。
⑤你的思想返回到60年前:政府忙于发展经济,很少关心环境污染。但如今呢,一切都变了,工厂迁到地下,烟囱没有了。
⑥下午,你飞往兰州去会见负责太空移民中心的 Tom Peterson 先生。你一下飞机就走进漂亮雅致的大会客室。
⑦汤姆说,如果你和妻子通过体检,就可以迁往月球。你把消息通过可视电话告知妻子,她高兴极了。她说等你回家吃她亲手做的可口的晚饭呢。

A Day of life in 2040
It is seven oclock in the morning when I wake up on April 4,2040. My wife is still sleeping. I hurry up for I have an important meeting at nine oclock in Tianjin. I tell my Robot to prepare the breakfast, and I go to take a shower. When I come out of the bathroom, my breakfast is ready on the dining table. I eat the food and feel that I still prefer my wifes cooking to the Robots. I wish she could teach our Robot how to cook better.
At seven thirty, I walk out of my villa① and pull out my office type Shanghai. I set the destination and the arriving time, and then begin to work for the meeting. The traffic has changed beyond peoples imagination. You no longer have to worry about traffic jams or accidents though on the highway you see no traffic lights or police. Cars which are going at 180 kilometers an hour are all computer-programmed②.
The meeting is over, and I am tired. I walk out to breathe the fresh spring air. The flowers smell nice, and the birds are singing happily. My thoughts turn back to 60 years ago when the government was busy developing the economy and little attention was given to the polluted surroundings, the air, the water, the sea animals, etc. But now everything has changed. All the factories have moved underground. The chimneys have become something of the past.
In the afternoon, I fly to Lanzhou to meet Mr. Tom Peterson who is in charge of the Space Immigration Center. As soon as I got off the plane, I walk into a beauty saloon③ to get refreshed④. My trip to Lanzhou is brief but fruitful. Tom says my wife and I will be permtitted to move to the moon if we pass the health examination. Immediately I call my wife to tell her the good news. From a small screen I can see she is as excited as I am. I am even more overjoyed when I am told on the phone that I will be welcomed home with a delicious dinner cooked by my wife HERSELF.
【词语解释】
