Many people use their mobile phones as the alarm clocks and are often used to checking emails before sleeping.

Many years ago, my boss stayed up playing with her mobile phone and got badly ill because of that. Now she always leaves her phone in another room when going to sleep. And she encourages her friends to do so. “I sent each of my friends the same Christmas gift-an alarm clock. So they could stop using the phones as the alarm clocks,” she said.

If your mobile phone wakes you up in the morning, it may also keep you up at night. A study shows that people in mobile phone radiation (辐射) mostly have sleeping problems. And according to a Swedish study, a quarter of young people in this country feel like having their phones near them. Most of them feel sorry for not replying to messages, so they even have to reply to their friends before sleeping.

A recent study has shown that three quarters of people aged between 18 and 34 prefer to sleep with their phones near them. That number falls off a little in the middle age but only people aged 65 and older like leaving the phones in another room while sleeping.

Many people believe that, by the year 2100, we will live on Mars(火星). Here is what life could be like.

First, transportation(交通) should be much better. In 2100, spaceships(宇宙飞船) can travel very fast.     26    

Second, humans need food, water and air to live. Scientists should be able to find plants that can grow on Mars. These plants will give us food and air.

    27     We might easily jump too high and fly slowly away into space. So humans on Mars have to wear special shoes to make themselves heavier.

Life on Mars will be better in many ways.     28     It is possible to live in a large building with many bedrooms. Then, robots will do most of the work, so we have more time for hobbies.

    29     Every student can study, do his or her homework on the computer and take exams in online schools. Each student will also have his or her own online teacher called “e-teacher”.
