An artist (画家) went to a beautiful part of the country for a holiday and stayed with a farmer. Every day he went out with his paints and brushes (颜料和画笔) and painted till evening. When it got dark he went back to the farm and had a good dinner before he went to bed.

At the end of his holiday he wanted to pay the farmer, but the farmer said, “No, I don’t want money. But give me one of your pictures. What’s money? In a week, it will all be finished, but your picture will still be here.”

The artists was very pleased and thanked the farmer for saying such kind things about his pictures. The farmer smiled and answered, “It’s not that. My son is a student in London. He wants to become an artist. When he comes home next month, I’ll show him your picture, and he will not want to be an artist any more, I think.”

What will you do during a trip? Visit famous places, shop and take photos? There is one thing you should never forget—send a postcard.

Postcards have 170 years of history in the UK. By the 20th century, trains became a cheap and easy way to travel. More people went on holiday to the seaside. There were no cell phones, so they sent postcards to let others know they arrived safely. Those postcards were usually seaside pictures, such as beaches and traditional food like fish and chip.

Today, most postcards show local scenic photos or drawing. Others may be funny, with jokes on the front.

People usually write words to express “They miss someone” on their postcards. It’s common to end with “thinking of you”. The most famous postcard words are “wish you were here”.

Modern postcards also celebrate British humor. They often make fun of the British weather. For example, some postcards show the rain pouring down on an empty beach. This humor keeps postcards popular in Britain.

Let’s suppose it is a common day of 2060. Of course, things have changed and life is very different.

Trips to the moon are being made every day. Taking a holiday on the moon today is as easy as taking a holiday in Europe in the 2010s. At a number of scenic spots (风景胜地) on the moon, many hotels have been built. In order that everyone can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the moon, every room has at least one picture window. Everything imaginable is provided for entertainment of the young and old.

What are people eating now? People are still eating food. But a lot of food now comes in pill (药片) form, and the food that goes into the pill comes mainly from green plants.

Because people in the world today are much more than those about fifty years ago, most of the earth's surface has to be filled. The deserts are irrigated with water and crops are no longer eaten by pests (害虫). The harvest is always good. Farming, of course, is very highly developed. Very few people have to work on the farms. It is possible to run the farms by just using a few computers.

People are row largely vegetarians, and they eat only bread, vegetables, fruit and so on and they don’t eat meat or fish. You see, as the number of people increases, the number of animals decreases. So people have to be vegetarians. We are healthier both in our bodies and in our minds, and we know how to deal with all kinds of illnesses. No one has to be ill any more.

Wendy Martin is an ordinary university student who used to love surfing the Internet and chatting with friends online. She often spent much of her free time talking with her family and making new friends online. Then something a    56     happened. It completely changed Wendy’s feelings about the Internet.

One of Wendy’s favourite things to do online was to visit the chat rooms on music websites. Everyone there loved chatting about recent concerts and what the famous s    57     were going to do next. It was here that Wendy first met Anne. The two women liked each other immediately. Soon they exchanged e-mail addresses and c    58     online every day.

Wendy enjoyed talking to her new friend. They both liked the same music, the same clothes and the same films, but they also had the same worries about studying and the future. Anne had emailed her a picture of h    59    , she even looked similar t    60     Wendy. So, when Anne asked Wendy for her address and phone number, Wendy thought her new friend was a person she could trust.

It was only when Wendy got a letter from the bank that she r    61     something was wrong. Anne was not who she said she was. She was not a university student, she was not young and she was not even a woman. “Anne” was really a 45-year-old man called Tim Histanon. He pretended (假装) to like the same things as Wendy. He had used Wendy’s personal information to spend all the money in her bank account (账户) .

This situation is actually quite common, and affects (影响) thousands of people every year. Fortunately for Wendy, Tim Histanon was finally c    62     by the police, so Wendy got most of her money back. Many people, h    63    , have not been so lucky.

Everyone can learn from the mistakes that Wendy made. N    64     give out personal information while chatting online, and always make sure your user name is different from your r    65     name. Nobody wants to make the same mistake as Wendy.
