目标一: To listen for the main idea and specific information about time travel, learn to express excitement and ask for confirmation Activity 1: Listen to the conversation and choose its main idea.
1 Time travel is dangerous. 2 Talking to people in the past can change the future. 3 Anything you say or do in the past can affect the future. 4 Time travel within your own lifetime should be avoided. Activity 2: Listen again and complete the table.

目标二: To learn some expressions about time and expectation, talk about aspects of life in the future Activity 1: Read the passage and put the expressions in bold into the boxes.

Although I wouldn’t bank on patients feeling confident about seeing a robot doctor any time soon, I’m sure that Al doctors are on the horizon. I think it’s also fair to say that we can get our hopes up when it comes to finding cures for serious diseases, such as cancer. I reckon that nanorobots that can eliminate cancerous cells are just around the corner. Some of these ideas may sound far ahead of their time, but I'm sure they’re bound to happen sooner or later!
