5. Will all the people have no work to do?
What will things be like in the year 2080? No one knows. But it is fun to have a guess at it. Let’s make this story about you in the year 2080.
You wake up at 7: 00 in the morning. You get dressed. Guess what the clothes are made of. Paper? Glass? Or something we don’t even know about today?
You don’t have to cook breakfast because all the food may be ready for eating. Now you start to work. But how do you go to work? You don’t go by car. You step onto a moving sidewalk. It takes you right to the train station. There you take the train. How will it run? On one rail high over the street? Or will it ride in the air? Three o’clock comes. Your work is done for the day. “I’ll call John, a friend of mine,” you say.
John answers the video phone. You and he can hear and see each other.
“What shall we do this Saturday?” you ask. “Shall we put on our rocket belts (腰带) and take a short trip? Or shall we go for a ride in a flying boat?”
John may say, “I want to ride in a rocket ship! Let’s fly to the moon!”

What will the house of the future look like? Could it have gardens on its walls, or a pool with fish for dinner? Architects believe that they are all possibilities. The only thing for sure is that the houses will be as green as possible.
The tree house
Many architects in the world would like to build a “tree house”. Like a leaf, the surface of the house collects sunlight during the day. The energy can be used to heat water, produce electricity, and even create fresh air for the home. The “root” of the house is deep under the ground. It uses the soil (土壤) to control the home’s temperature.
The Lizard house
Like a lizard (蜥蜴), changing colour with the weather is the most important design of a lizard house. When it’s in the bright sun, the cover of the house will turn dark to protect it from strong heat. During dark days, it turns white and takes in as much light and heat as possible to produce energy.
Meals at home
The future of food production (生产) will be one part of the house design. Gardens may appear on the outside walls of the house. People can plant tomatoes, carrots and green tea on them. So every day in the morning, you just need to walk outside and collect your meals.
Learning from the past
Looking to the future isn’t the only way to be green. Sometimes, ancient techniques can also help cut down energy use. For example, a chimney (烟囱) in the future house can be a useful air-conditioner because it is easier for hot air to go out at the chimney.
1. How many kinds of future houses are mentioned in the passage?2. What can we use the energy to do for the tree house?
3. What is the colour of the lizard house on sunny days?
4. Where can people plant tomatoes, carrots or green tea in the future house according to the passage?
5. According to the last paragraph, how can we make future houses green?
