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 or 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 .
A—③ B—②

have to必须；不得不
eg：He has to finish the work . 他必须完成这项工作。
have to (1)多表示客观需要，含有“不得不”的客观强制性。

ill . 因为妈妈病得很厉害，所以她不得不呆在家里。
