Life in the future
By Tony Smith
What will life be like in the future How will things change Here are some ideas. Which ones will come true
A In the future, a change of weather won’t mean a change of clothes. We’ll wear a new kind of clothes. They’ll be warm when we’re cold, and cool when we’re hot.
B There’ll be no more light rain and cold wind in spring. The weather will be quite warm or even hot all year, with heavy rain and wind. The sea level will rise as well.
C We won’t travel by bus or bike any more. Every family will have a small plane. No more expensive cars – it’ll be cheap to travel everywhere by plane, not only over land, but also over the sea or even into space. Maybe there’ll be traffic jams in the air.
D Do you like long holidays Well, you’re going to like the future, because machines and robots will do all the heavy and difficult jobs, and we’ll only do light and easy work. Working hours will be short so people will have long holidays.

Language points
Which ones will come true (教材P22)
come true 实现
come true意为“（理想，愿望）实现，变成现实”，其中come是系动词，表示“变得，成为”，形容词true作表语。
e.g. I’m glad to tell you it’s going to come true now.
很高兴地告诉你，你的梦想就要实现了。
2. In the future, a change of weather won’t mean a change of clothes. (教材P22)
mean v. 意味着
mean作“意味着”意思时，常用结构：
mean sth./mean doing sth. 意为着……。
e.g. Missing the train means waithing for another hour.
很高兴地告诉你，你的梦想就要实现了。
mean 还可意为“打算”，常用结构：mean to do sth. 打算做某事
3. The sea level will rise as well. (教材P22)
rise v. 升起；上升。一般作不及物动词。
rise 不及物动词 常指（日月等）升起，（河水、价格等）上涨
raise 及物动词 意为“举起、提高”，主语一般为人。
e.g. The sun rises in the east.
e.g. Please raise your hand before answering the question.
as well 和；又；也
as well 一般放在肯定句句末。e.g. Tom is friendly to me as well.
4. No more expensive cars — it’ll be cheap to travel everywhere by plane, not only over land,but also over the sea or even into space. (教材P22)
not only ... but also ... 意为“不但……而且……”，连接两个并列的成分该短语在连接主语时，谓语动词与but also 后面的主语在单、复数上保持一致。
e.g. Not only you but also he knows the girl.
不但你认识那个女孩，他也认识那个女孩。
