【推荐1】I spent my last vacation trekking (徒步) in Nepal, a small country in the Himalaya Mountains of Asia (亚洲). On a trekking vacation, you walk for long distances through the mountains. There are very few roads in Nepal, so trekking is the best way to travel. It's best if you hire (雇佣) a guide. The guides know the best paths to take and they also help trekkers with their bags. Our guide even cooked our food for us. Every day, we trekked for about four hours before lunch, and about two hours in the afternoon. At the end of the day's trek, we sat around a campfire and talked about the things we saw. Then we went to sleep in large tents. Every morning, our guide brought breakfast to our tent. I was great. At the end of the trip, I didn't want to go home!

Space tour is not all about rockets—large space balloons can do it too! The company HALO Space in Spain completed the first test flight of its balloon in December, 2022. This means another company joined the competition of making space tour a reality.
During the test flight, the balloon reached an altitude of 37 kilometers where passengers would be able to look at the Earth from the blackness of space, according to Daily Mail. When the flights are available, the company aims to carry 3,000 passengers on 400 trips every year.
How does a space balloon work? The balloon is usually filled with helium or hydrogen, which are both much lighter than air, and it flies up.
According to NASA, the balloon is filled with the amount of gas that will give it enough lift to get off the ground and rise. As it rises, the gas inside the balloon grows larger.
The balloon stops when the density of the gas inside and the air outside is about the same, it begins to fall down as gas goes out slowly.
So the whole trip is not intense. The Space Perspective in US says that the trips are about relaxation. The balloon rises slowly at 12 miles (about 18.3 kilometers) an hour, and it takes about two hours to get to the 37 km altitude. It also takes another two hours to go back to the land.
Since its successful test flight in June 2022, Space Perspective Company started selling tickets for spaceflights in 2024—and it has already sold out. The company now buys ships to turn them into “floating spaceports”, reported Daily Mail. By lifting the balloon from ships on the sea, there will be more chances to enjoy the tour, such as flights at sunrise and sunset.

【推荐1】Although life in the future is difficult to predict, here are some changes (改变) which now make our lives better.
Transportation (交通工具)
We try hard to make sure that the cars, taxis, buses and trains pollute the air less. Buses and shared bikes help us do something good for the environment. At the same time, more and more people will take the train to other cities.
Health
People enjoy a healthier life than before. People pay more attention to what they eat and exercise. Doctors will use more advanced equipment to examine a human body.
Payment
Mobile payment makes it possible to buy things without cash (现金). Chinese now only need to enter a short password (密码) on their mobile phones when they want to buy things.
Shopping
China has the large online shopping market. Because of lower costs, it’s easier for sellers to open an online shop in China. China created more than 20 million (百万) jobs in the countryside in 2016,with over 8.1 million people running their own online shops.
Things will always change. We cannot be sure if our dreams will come true, but we can at least try our best to improve (改善) the world.

It is always expected that housework will be done by robots completely in the future. For years, scientists have been working on this dream, but it still remains in science fiction films.
However, people still hope to have a helping hand around the house. A survey showed that 55% of people were going to use robots at home. Easy things like washing and cleaning are becoming the working domain of robots slowly.
Although this dream hasn't been achieved, the idea of finding a helping hand at home for people has been used to improve people's everyday life. In South Korea, the famous company LG is working hard to improve people's everyday life by high technology. Tasks such as answering the telephone, opening the door, and turning on washing machines and air conditioners can be done automatically. At the same time, these services can not only be done inside the home, but also can be done through the Internet, or even by a mobile phone far away.
Do you remember in 1987 when you first saw a man walking down the road with a big phone in his hand? Now mobile phones are small and almost everybody has got one. The future is arriving slowly, even if we didn't notice it.

【推荐1】You might notice that some foods are named after places—for example, pu’er tea and Nanjing salted duck. These are the “birthplaces” of these foods. In fact, a product’s birthplace is very important. It’s about the quality. An agreement between China and European Union (EU) has taken effect. It lists the names of products and their birthplaces. They are called geographical indications (GIs, 地理标志).
| Which products can get GIs? Farm products, food, wine, handcrafts, and industrial products can get GIs. On the first GI list, there are food, farm products, wine and tea. On the next list, there will be some Chinese cultural products, such as Shu brocade (蜀绣) and Xuan paper. How many products are on the GI list? Two hundred products from China and EU countries are on the list. Over the next four years, another list will come out. It will include 350 GIs. How will the agreement help us? It is good for both shoppers and companies. People can buy high-quality products based on the GIs. They don’t have to worry if they are fake (假货). Companies can sell more products to other countries. Some products are only popular in China. Now they might become popular in Europe. This will also promote business between China and Europe. |
