Cool ideas for future travel
What will travel be like in the year 2070
In the year 2070, most of you will be more than 60 years old. The good news is that travel might become smarter by that time. Let’s take a look at some amazing ideas from The Future Travel Report.
Heartbeat passport
Paper passports(PBE)will be a thing of the past. You will use “heartbeat(心跳)passports” instead. According to scientists, everyone’s heartbeat is different. So the data will be used to tell who you are.
More comfortable flight
The seats on the plane will no longer be “one size fits all”. You’ll be able to book a seat according to your body type. The seat might even be able to cool or warm you to your favourite temperature. There will also be no more screens on the back of your seats. A futuristic device(未来设备)could show movies straight in front of your eyes.
Printed clothes and food
If you hate packing(打包)clothes, you may not need to do it in the future. Before you fly, you will have a body scan(扫描). And when you arrive, you’ll find a room filled with 3D printed clothes in your size. When you leave, the clothes can be recycled and reprinted for the next person. You can also 3D print whatever you want to eat.
Bring history back to life
If you like to visit historic sites(历史古迹), AR will change the game. Wearing a headset, you can see what happened at a historic site, such as a famous war. You may even be able to sit among the cheering people at the first Olympic Games.

Alice was too afraid to tell him she was not Mary Ann, a servant. So she ran off.
“I’ll try and find his fan and gloves,” she thought when she ran.
She soon came to a little house. There was a name on the door, “W. Rabbit.”
She went inside without knocking on the door. “How strange this all is!” she thought. “I am running errands for a rabbit. Perhaps Dinah will ask me to run errands for her.”
She ran up the stairs into a little bedroom, and there she found a pair of gloves and a fan. She picked them up and was going to leave when she saw a bottle. It was near a looking glass. On the side of the bottle were the words “Drink me.”
“I’ll drink some,” Alice thought. “Perhaps it will make me grow again. I am tired of being so small.”
She quickly drank half the bottle. Before she could get out of the little house, she started to grow. Soon, she was so big, she could not move in the room.

(江苏省淮安市盱眙县2022-2023学年七年级下学期期末)Rowing is a good sport for people. The sport is not so commonly(常见地)played in China, but almost half of all American high schools have rowing teams. Recently,
the school where I study had a rowing season that gave me many great experiences(经历).
During the season, we practiced rowing a lot. We got up at six every Saturday morning and practiced for three hours on the river. Each one of us had an oar(桨), and we each rowed one oar with both hands. Together we pulled the oars, and the oars pushed the water back so the boat would move forward. After three hours of practice, we often felt very tired, because rowing is a physical sport. When you row, you do a lot of work with your thighs(大腿)and back.
Though the practices were very hard, I chose to do them because I like the joy hard work brings. At every practice, I always did my best. Even when the coaches(教练)were not there, I kept rowing hard with my hands because I wanted to find out how well I could do. In order to move the boat fast, everyone on the team must keep the same pace(速度), so we needed to work together.
The hard work I did during the rowing helped me develop my teamwork qualities. The experience also taught me that if you want to get something, you need to pay something first. As Americans like to say, “No pains, no gains!”

When Jordan Romero was nine, he saw a painting of the tallest mountains in the world. Jordan set a goal to climb each one, but he had a problem that he was not able to make it by himself. Jordan knew what would solve his
problem: a team to climb with him. His father and stepmother, experienced mountain climbers, became his teammates.
Before climbing, the team followed an exercise plan. They ran long distances while wearing heavy backpacks and pulling tires. After years of hard work, they developed strong bodies for the tough climb and formed strong relationships to help them work together.
Jordan’s team was ready for the dangers of exploration. Mt. Everest is the world’s tallest mountain. The top of Mt. Everest is higher than some planes fly! At the top there isn’t much oxygen(氧气)to take in, which is a problem for climbers. Not having enough oxygen could make them sick, so the team worked out the problem by wearing oxygen masks.
Jordan’s team needed more help, so climbing experts called Sherpas(夏尔巴人)joined them. Each expert used his special skill to help them climb the mountain.
It took the team 51 days to get to the summit(顶峰). While the team members were climbing the mountain, a rope linked them together to stay safe. Finally, they reached the summit.

(江苏省南京市秦淮区2021-2022学年七年级下学期期末)Long time ago, Chinese children didn’t have mobile phones, iPads or computers, but they had a great time playing some interesting games. Different children, different games. Let’s take a look.
● Stone(石头)balls
In the Qing Dynasty, boys got together and played a stone ball with feet around their neighbourhood in the northern part of China, and they played it in winter to keep warm. Children usually cut the stone into a smaller one,
the same size as an egg. When it began, all of them would rush to kick the ball, and did their best to keep the ball around themselves and not to lose it to others.
●Hide-and-seek
Hide-and-seek was popular all over China in ancient times. Many people enjoyed playing it. There were two ways to play: keeping a child’s eyes closed when others ran around to make fun of him or, more often, some children hiding and one child trying to find them.
● Watching shadow plays(皮影戏)
Shadow play is one of the oldest operas in China. It started over two thousand years ago and became more popular in the Tang and Song Dynasties. At that time, it brought fun to the people like the modern films and TV. It usually told the stories about the heroes and other famous people in history, even about the wars. The players usually used the puppets(木偶)behind a piece of cloth through the light, telling stories to the music. In the Qing Dynasty, shadow play art came to its top.
● Playing diabolo(空竹)
Diabolo(also called “the Chinese yo-yo”)is always made of wood or bamboo and has nothing inside. Playing diabolo was a very interesting game among young children in North China in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The players could do different tricks to play the diabolo, up and down, left to right with two sticks and a string(绳子)in their hands. It often made a loud sound after its high-speed rotating(高速运转). They used their whole body to exercise when playing, so everyone liked it very much at that time.
Children’s games in ___56___ the old times
Four ___57___ of games Stone balls Children ran ___58___ towards the stone ball and tried to keep it around themselves with their feet.
Hide-and-seek There were two ways to play: ●One of them ___59___ his/her eyes when others ran around; ● Some children ___60___ and one child had to find them.

The next morning, he woke up to find that the elderly neighbour left a basket of fresh fruits and vegetables on their doorstep as a way of thanking him for his hard work.

Cool ideas for future travel
What will travel be like in the year 2070
In the year 2070, most of you will be more than 60 years old. The good news is that travel might become smarter by that time. Let’s take a look at some amazing ideas from The Future Travel Report.
Heartbeat passport
Paper passports(PBE)will be a thing of the past. You will use “heartbeat(心跳)passports” instead. According to scientists, everyone’s heartbeat is different. So the data will be used to tell who you are.
More comfortable flight
The seats on the plane will no longer be “one size fits all”. You’ll be able to book a seat according to your body type. The seat might even be able to cool or warm you to your favourite temperature. There will also be no more screens on the back of your seats. A futuristic device(未来设备)could show movies straight in front of your eyes.
Printed clothes and food
If you hate packing(打包)clothes, you may not need to do it in the future. Before you fly, you will have a body scan(扫描). And when you arrive, you’ll find a room filled with 3D printed clothes in your size. When you leave, the clothes can be recycled and reprinted for the next person. You can also 3D print whatever you want to eat.
Bring history back to life
If you like to visit historic sites(历史古迹), AR will change the game. Wearing a headset, you can see what happened at a historic site, such as a famous war. You may even be able to sit among the cheering people at the first Olympic Games.

Then the white rabbit saw Alice.
“What are you doing here, Mary Ann ” he asked. “Go home right away and bring me a fan and a pair of white gloves.”
Alice was too afraid to tell him she was not Mary Ann, a servant. So she ran off.
“I’ll try and find his fan and gloves,” she thought when she ran.
She soon came to a little house. There was a name on the door, “W. Rabbit.”
She went inside without knocking on the door. “How strange this all is!” she thought. “I am running errands for a rabbit. Perhaps Dinah will ask me to run errands for her.”
She ran up the stairs into a little bedroom, and there she found a pair of gloves and a fan. She picked them up and was going to leave when she saw a bottle. It was near a looking glass. On the side of the bottle were the words “Drink me.”
“I’ll drink some,” Alice thought. “Perhaps it will make me grow again. I am tired of being so small.”
She quickly drank half the bottle. Before she could get out of the little house, she started to grow. Soon, she was so big, she could not move in the room.
“That was a silly(傻的)thing to do,” she thought. “Why didn’t I take the bottle with me and drink from it outside the house ”

This afternoon when I was going to go there, the telephone rang. It was my husband(丈夫). “Sorry, dear, but I have to work late in my shop today.

(江苏省连云港市东海县2022-2023学年八年级下学期期末)Li Ming and his classmates invited Jenny to talk
about manners in the UK. Here are the main tips.
First, British people say “hello” or “nice to meet you” and shake hands when they meet you for the first time.
But they don't kiss because they only greet relatives or close friends with a kiss.
Second, they start a conversation with subjects like weather, books or music. But age and money should be avoided.
Third, many British people behave politely in public. For example, they always queue instead of pushing before others. If they bump into someone in the street, they will say “sorry”. And if you are in their way, they won't touch you or push past you. They'll say “excuse me” and wait patiently. They also keep their voice down in public. They don't like to shout or laugh loudly.
Last but not least, they are also very polite at home. They say “please” and “thank you” all the time. This is very different from us Chinese.

(江苏省南京市鼓楼区四校联考2022-2023学年七年级下学期期末)Humans can’t stop natural disasters
because we can’t stop the power(力量)of nature.
For example, a flood comes when there is too much water on the land. Sometimes, it can come after a big
rainstorm at sea. Then too much sea water comes onto the land. Fast moving flood can hurt us. It can also hurt our homes. We can’t stop the water from coming, but we can try to stop the water by making a wall with sandbags. Sometimes, the sandbags help stop the water. Sometimes they don’t.
An earthquake happens where land moves. The land goes up and down and all around. The land shakes. We may
be hurt by things that fall down in an earthquake. Falling things can start fires. We can’t stop an earthquake from coming. We can try to make our homes strong in order to prevent them from falling down in an earthquake.
A tornado(龙卷风)is fast air that goes around and around over the land. A tornado can pick up everything. It can break anything in the way. A typhoon is a big storm with fast moving wind and rain. It begins at sea and can come onto the land. Its fast winds can hurt us and our homes.
We can’t stop the power of nature, but we can go to places where we will feel safe.

I like Maths best among all the subjects.
Activities
We have different clubs after school. Some clubs are for fun, such as the Guitar Club, the Chess Club and the Basketball Club. Some clubs are for study, such as the Maths Club, the Physics Club and the Geography Club. I am a member of the English Singing Club. It is fun to sing English songs. We sometimes practice English in the English Corner. I have improved my spoken English a lot. On Wednesday and Thursday, we go to the library and borrow some books and magazines. Time seems to travel faster when we do the reading.
Big brothers and sisters
Boys and girls have lessons together at our school. There are more than 1,800 students here. Many new students need help to learn more about the new school. They may have problems with their new school life. When they have problems, they sometimes don’t want to tell the teachers. They may feel better if they can talk to the older students. At our school, the older students can join the Helping Hands Club. These big brothers and sisters talk to the new students and try to help them to work out(解决)their problems.

(江苏省泰州市泰兴市2022-2023学年七年级下学期期末)People keep dogs and cats as pets because they are friendly. Now there are also lots of people who like keeping goldfish as pets. Goldfish are not like dogs or cats. They are not any trouble and they are good-looking. People are happy to watch them swim around in the tank(鱼缸). If you want to keep them as pets, I think there is something to learn about before buying one.
The fish need a comfortable tank. Make sure the tank is large enough. Then the goldfish can swim in it freely(自
由地). Keep the tank clean. But never clean it with soap. Hot water is OK.
Dirty water is not good for the health of the goldfish. If the water is dirty, the goldfish will easily get ill. Change some water once a week, but never change all of the water because there is something that your goldfish need. Put a few snails(蜗牛)in the tank. They have abilities to keep the water clean.
There are many different kinds of special fish food in pet shops. They are good for your goldfish. You should feed your goldfish with the special food only once a day. Also it is important not to give them too much food.

(江苏省淮安市盱眙县2022-2023学年七年级下学期期末)Rowing is a good sport for people. The sport is not so commonly(常见地)played in China, but almost half of all American high schools have rowing teams. Recently, the school where I study had a rowing season that gave me many great experiences(经历).
During the season, we practiced rowing a lot. We got up at six every Saturday morning and practiced for three hours on the river. Each one of us had an oar(桨), and we each rowed one oar with both hands. Together we pulled the oars, and the oars pushed the water back so the boat would move forward. After three hours of practice, we often felt very tired, because rowing is a physical sport. When you row, you do a lot of work with your thighs(大腿)and back.
Though the practices were very hard, I chose to do them because I like the joy hard work brings. At every practice, I always did my best. Even when the coaches(教练)were not there, I kept rowing hard with my hands
because I wanted to find out how well I could do. In order to move the boat fast, everyone on the team must keep the same pace(速度), so we needed to work together.
The hard work I did during the rowing helped me develop my teamwork qualities. The experience also taught me that if you want to get something, you need to pay something first. As Americans like to say, “No pains, no gains!”

When Jordan Romero was nine, he saw a painting of the tallest mountains in the world. Jordan set a goal to climb each one, but he had a problem that he was not able to make it by himself. Jordan knew what would solve his
problem: a team to climb with him. His father and stepmother, experienced mountain climbers, became his teammates.
Before climbing, the team followed an exercise plan. They ran long distances while wearing heavy backpacks and pulling tires. After years of hard work, they developed strong bodies for the tough climb and formed strong relationships to help them work together.
Jordan’s team was ready for the dangers of exploration. Mt. Everest is the world’s tallest mountain. The top of Mt. Everest is higher than some planes fly! At the top there isn’t much oxygen(氧气)to take in, which is a problem for climbers. Not having enough oxygen could make them sick, so the team worked out the problem by wearing oxygen masks.

It took the team 51 days to get to the summit(顶峰). While the team members were climbing the mountain, a rope linked them together to stay safe. Finally, they reached the summit.

(江苏省南京市秦淮区2021-2022学年七年级下学期期末)Long time ago, Chinese children didn’t have mobile phones, iPads or computers, but they had a great time playing some interesting games. Different children,
different games. Let’s take a look.
● Stone(石头)balls
In the Qing Dynasty, boys got together and played a stone ball with feet around their neighbourhood in the northern part of China, and they played it in winter to keep warm. Children usually cut the stone into a smaller one, the same size as an egg. When it began, all of them would rush to kick the ball, and did their best to keep the ball around themselves and not to lose it to others.
●Hide-and-seek
Hide-and-seek was popular all over China in ancient times. Many people enjoyed playing it. There were two ways to play: keeping a child’s eyes closed when others ran around to make fun of him or, more often, some children hiding and one child trying to find them.
● Watching shadow plays(皮影戏)
Shadow play is one of the oldest operas in China. It started over two thousand years ago and became more popular in the Tang and Song Dynasties. At that time, it brought fun to the people like the modern films and TV. It usually told the stories about the heroes and other famous people in history, even about the wars. The players usually used the puppets(木偶)behind a piece of cloth through the light, telling stories to the music. In the Qing Dynasty, shadow play art came to its top.
● Playing diabolo(空竹)
Diabolo(also called “the Chinese yo-yo”)is always made of wood or bamboo and has nothing inside. Playing diabolo was a very interesting game among young children in North China in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The players could do different tricks to play the diabolo, up and down, left to right with two sticks and a string(绳子)in their hands. It often made a loud sound after its high-speed rotating(高速运转). They used their whole body to exercise when playing, so everyone liked it very much at that time.
