Unit 10 Text A: World of the Future At the docks you step into a shiny metal submarine that is shaped like a shark. The door is closed behind you, and powerful engine hums to life. Down slides the submarine—like a shark diving. Deeper and deeper was it under the water. How are people going into the sea water by taking the submarine? Soon all sunlight is gone. The headlights of the diving ship are turned on. Then, six miles below, you come to the sea bottom. From the diving submarine, you change to tiny a jet boat and ride along close to the bottom of the ocean, almost as you would skim over the land in an airplane. As you travel, you have fun looking out the window at the sights on the bottom of the ocean. You see strange fish and underwater mountains, cliffs, and valleys. But more than that—hotels and mining camps and farms and factories! Scientists think that wonderful things may come true in the future. Future means a time from now that is not yet here. It can be a short time from now or a long time from now. Some of the underwater wonders are almost ready to come true now. Others won’t come true until a long time from now. What are some of the wonders that may come true in the future? Let’s go back to dry land and take a future journey the other way—up instead of down. Huge rocket liners take you into space to visit the Moon Camp. You walk around on the moon in a special moon suit. You visit an observatory where a giant telescope looks far into space—farther than anyone has ever been able to see from Earth. You go deep down into one of the moon mines. After you have visited the moon, you visit the Mars Colony and the Venus Exploration Outpost. Let’s go back to Earth. In the far, far future, girls—and boys, too—may be playing with dolls that look like the people of the planets visited by our spacemen. To control or run all kinds of toys, boys and girls may learn to use special computers—
