Correct predictions: flying machines, organ transplantation, “perpetual light”, the atom bomb, space stations would broadcast television signals all over the globe.
Incorrect predictions: a world market for maybe five computers, nuclear-powered vacuum cleaners.
2 What is your understanding of “the future has unlimited possibilities”
Watch the video and answer the questions.
1
The world is changing all the time, and it’s changing a lot. And the change is huge, so the future is difficult to predict. We do not know what will happen or what we will encounter the next second. In this case, our future will be full of unlimited possibilities, and these possibilities are opportunities as well as challenges for us.
There is no unexpected, only can not do.
Future or Fantasy
Not so very long ago, the idea of flying across the Atlantic Ocean in just a few hours would have been pure fantasy. The American aviator Orville Wright even declared in 1908 that “No flying machine will ever fly from New York to Paris...”Yet, today, we think little of hopping on a plane to take such a journey.
Looking back at some of the predictions throughout history, what is perhaps most remarkable is that they were made decades or even centuries before becoming reality.
More than 300 years ago, the world's first scientific body, the Royal Society, was founded in London. Its motto Nullius in verba, meaning “take nobody's word for it", reflected its founders' spirit of investigation - a spirit that led them to predict flying machines, organ transplantation and“perpetual light” with extraordinary accuracy.
But it's not only scientists who have looked into the future. Predictions have also been made by writers. At the start of the twentieth century, H.G. Wells predicted the invention of the atom bomb in his novel The World Set Free.And in the 1940s, author Arthur C.Clarke proposed that space stations would one day broadcast television signals all over the globe.
Not all predictions, however, have turned out to be quite so accurate. Thomas Watson, chairman of IBM, was quoted as saying in 1943 that “there is a world market for maybe five computers". As for the 1955 prediction in The New York Times that “nuclear-powered vacuum cleaners will probably be a reality in 10 years” - well, even today that sounds rather a lot like science fiction.
Correct and incorrect, the great number of insights into the unknown indicates that the future is filled with unlimited possibilities. Who knows what we will be able to create tomorrow Only time will tell.

未来还是幻想？
就在不久之前，在短短几个小时内飞越大西洋的想法还是纯粹的幻想。美国飞行员奥维尔·赖特（Orville Wright）甚至在1908年宣称：“永远不会有飞行器从纽约飞到巴黎……”然而，今天，我们很少想到跳上飞机去进行这样的旅程。
回顾历史上的一些预言，也许最引人注目的是，它们在成为现实前几十年甚至几个世纪就已提出了。
300多年前，世界上第一个科学机构——英国皇家学会在伦敦成立。它的座右铭是Nullius in verba，意思是“不相信任何人的话”，这反映了它的创始人的探索精神——这种精神使他们以非凡的准确性预测了飞行器、器官移植和“永恒之光”。
但展望未来的不仅仅是科学家。作家们也做出了预测。20世纪初，H.G.威尔斯在他的小说《自由的世界》中预言了原子弹的发明。在20世纪40年代，作家亚瑟·c·克拉克提出，空间站有一天会向全球广播电视信号。然而，并非所有的预测都如此准确。有人援引IBM董事长托马斯 沃森（Thomas Watson）在1943年的话说，“全球电脑市场可能只有5台”。至于1955年《纽约时报》的预测，“核动力真空吸尘器可能会在10年内成为现实”——好吧，即使在今天，这听起来也很像科幻小说。
无论正确与否，对未知的大量洞察表明未来充满了无限的可能性。谁知道我们明天能创造什么？只有时间会告诉我们答案。

WALL·E
In this film, humans abandon Earth because there is too much rubbish on it, leaving behind some robots to do the cleaning up. Over time, the robots break down one by one, until WALL·E is the only robot left working on Earth. One day, he meets another robot from space which has returned to Earth. In the end, they find a way to save the planet.

2 Do you think the events in these films could come true
What do you think the world will be like in the future
Here are some answers from some students.
Mary: If we don’t take good care of the earth now, our children and grandchildren will be born into a world with much pollution(污染). There will be fewer trees and more buildings, because there will be more people.
Jack: I agree with Mary. Things will be worse. weather in the future will be much hotter. Humans won’t be able to live on the earth. They will have to look for another planet to live on.
Linda: I think the life in the future will be better. Most people in the world will use “green cars” by 2020, so there will be less pollution and people will live to be 200 years old. As for space travel, I would say, we will visit Mars in about fifty years.
Search the Internet for science fiction movies to further think about what the world might be like in the future.
