Bill Gates' body might live in the present, but his brain lives in the future. He has made a career out of predicting what will happen in matters of computing, public health and the environment. He correctly predicted the rise of smartphones and social media, and his latest predictions could come true, too. Here's what Gates predicts for the future of our world.
In his Annual Letter 2015, Gates made the prediction that Africa's agriculture industry would increase productivity by 50% by 2030. Now the continent buys about $50 billion worth of food from other countries each year, although 70% of people in Africa are farmers. “In the next 15 years, however, creations in farming will solve the food problem in Africa,” Gates wrote. “The world has already developed crops that are more productive; with all the technologies, African farmers could possibly double their harvests. ”
By 2035, there could be almost no poor countries. In his Annual Letter 2014, Gates bravely predicted that continued levels of foreign help could mean there would be almost no more poor countries by 2035. “Almost all countries will be what we now call lower middle income or richer,”Gates explained. “Countries will learn from their most productive neighbors and benefit from things like better seeds and the digital revolution. ”
By 2030, the world will discover a clean energy breakthrough to power our world. One of Gates' more hopeful predictions which came in 2016 said that wind, solar, or some other renewable resources would power most of the world within 15 years. “The difficulty we face is big, perhaps bigger than many people imagine,” he wrote in his letter. “But so is the chance to make things better.” Many of the poor countries he visited had no running water or electricity. At night this meant they couldn't light or power their homes, and keep businesses open.“ If the world can find a type of cheap, clean energy, it will do more than prevent climate change,” he wrote. “It will change the lives of millions of the poorest families.”
1.What does the author think of Gates' predictions
A.They sound quite unreal. B.They are mainly about computers.
C.They will probably come true. D.They haven't produced any end result.
2.How is the agriculture in Africa
A.It is losing its workforce. B.It is in need of productivity.
C.It can satisfy the local needs. D.It is as backward as Africa's industry.
3.What should poor countries do according to Gates
A.Use expensive seeds. B.Expect less foreign help.
C.Rely on the digital revolution. D.Turn to other countries for good practices.
4.What's Gates' attitude to clean energy development
A.It has a long way to go. B.It can keep up with the times.
C.It can control climate change. D.It won't surely benefit poor families.

Have you ever had the pleasure of popping the small air filled bubbles that make up a sheet of bubble wrap 1 Have you ever wondered why popping them is so much fun
It turns out that there is some science behind the human connection to bubble wrap.Some experts believe it's similar to the need to fidget (动来动去). 2 These small actions are all types of fidgeting.
