Unit 3　Life in the future教材背景链接;　Future World 再过二十年，我们的生活会变成什么样子呢？到那时，一些有趣的小装置，比如与互联网相连接的冰箱磁铁、环保型的氢动力车、与衣服颜色相搭配的办公椅、数字墨水笔等等都将会像今天的手机和DVD机一样随处可见。 ;It’s Friday morning in the year 2025，and you’re running late.You got distracted(思想不集中的) watching the music video that was playing in the corner of your bathroom mirror while you were brushing your teeth.How will you get to your office at Mega Giga Industries on time?;A quick check of your Internet-connected refrigerator magnet(冰箱磁铁) tells you that your train which travels at speed up to 250 miles an hour is a bit behind schedule，too.So you decide to drive your environment-friendly hydrogen fuel cell car(氢动力小汽车) instead—or rather，let your car drive you.It’s programmed to know the way，and it will get you there without speeding，getting lost，or crashing.;Settling back in your office chair，which changes color to match what you’re wearing，you pick up yesterday morning’s newspaper.Printed on reusable electronic paper，it instantly rewrites itself with today’s headlines.Now it’s time for you to have a meeting.Uh-oh！You’ve left your handwritten notes at home.No problem.The digital ink pen (数字墨水笔) you used has stored an electronic copy of what you wrote.;Your videophone suddenly rings.Your best friend’s face appears on the screen asking what you are doing this weekend.“Will you wear your 3-D contact lenses(隐形眼镜) and play soccer with the U．S.Olympic Soccer Team？”Your friend asked.“No，no.”You answered，“I will take the new type of elevator 60,000 miles into space.”;Could this scene really take place in just a couple of decades？The researchers who are developing all this stuff at the present time think so.These gadgets(小装置) may be as common in 20 years as cellphones and DVD players are today.
