2 . Shenzhou 13 manned spacecraft（载人航天飞船）went to space（太空）successfully on October 16, 2021. Three Chinese astronauts, Zhai Zhigang, Wang Yaping, Ye Guangfu were taken to space. They will stay in space for six months. It is the eighth time for Chinese to visit space after Yang Liwei went as the first Chinese 19 years ago. These special “visitors” can take fantastic photos in space, just like taking trips there. Can common people go to visit space like them? The answer is “yes”.
On September 15, Space X sent four common people into space. The four spent three days in space. Just two months ago, in July, 70-year-old British billionaire（亿万富翁）Richard Branson, and 57-year-old American billionaire Jeff Bezos, both flew into space. But some think these trips are for the super rich. With the sky-high prices, most common people should give up their space dreams. However, US flight engineer Bobak Ferdowsi believes the price will come down. “Maybe in 10 to 15 years, it’s a decision between ‘do I buy a new car, or do I go to space?’ ”
Anyway, even we can’t have a space trip now, we’ll be able to have a science class from space. The woman astronaut Wang Yaping will be the space teacher to give us such a lesson just as she did nine years ago. That will be great fun. We will also be able to enjoy a space movie. A Russian film team stayed on the International Space Station from Oct 5 to 16 to film the movie Challenge. It’s the first time a movie was filmed in space.

AR(增强现实) is a new technology(技术) right now. AR lets us see the real-life environment(环境) right in front of us-a pterodactyl(翼手龙) landing in the trees and the palaces in the past. Many of us know that AR is used in mobile games. However, education(教育) is another important space where this technology can make a difference.
AR brings science to life in education. In the past, teachers used 2D pictures and lifeless models(模型) to teach science. With AR, science will become more lively. Students can use AR apps to learn different animals. Students can also learn other subjects with AR. For example, in geography classes, students can see great natural phenomena(自然现象) wherever they are. In history lessons, students could walk into buildings of last century or talk with historical heroes. AR brings the real world to the classroom. AR is also useful for schools in villages and small towns, where students can’t often go to museums in big cities. In the past, only students from rich families could pay for the travel to famous places like the British Museum or the Louvre. Soon, with the help of AR technology, students from around the world may be able to visit these places. In some ways, the AR experience would be even more exciting than a real trip to a museum because students could touch historical objects(物品) freely.
AR in education is the future of all students. It will change the education for maybe a hundred years. With the help of AR, the classrooms of the future may not look much like the classrooms of the past.
1. Is AR a new technology right now?2. What did teachers use to teach science in the past?
3. What can students do in geography classes with the help of AR?
4. Why would the AR experience be even more exciting than a real trip to a museum?

5 . What’s going to happen in the future? Here are some things that scientists say are most likely to happen 10 to 30 years later from now.
1. Digital money
We used to pay with cash（现金）for everything we bought. In fact, we are already using one kind of digital money when we swipe（刷）our bus pass or use a credit card（信用卡）to shop online. You have to admit that using a card is much easier than searching your pocket for change. It is also safer than carrying a lot of cash with you. People in Sweden all stopped using cash last year and the US might be the next.
2.Bionic（仿生）Eye
People who are blind may have a chance to get their sight back---by wearing bionic eyes. A blind eye can no longer sense light, but a bionic eye can use a camera to “see” the environment and send the message into brain. Although the bionic eye now only allow patients to see lights and unclear shapes, a better and clearer bionic eye could be just a few years away.
3.Self-driving car
Unlike a human driver, a self-driving car won’t lose attention because of a phone call, a radio or something outside the window. Sensors（探测器）and cameras on the car would allow it to keep strictly to the rules of the road and keep a safe distance from other cars. This would greatly reduce the number of road accidents. Many companies are now planning self-driving cars. By 2045, driverless cars will be the main transport on the road.

In Japan, people made a very special robot. People use it to help fix railways. It is very large and heavy. It can lift things up to 40 kilograms. It can reach as high as ten meters. The robot is on a crane (起重机). It has two hands. A person controls (控制) the robot with a remote control (遥控器) and a VR headset (虚拟现实头盔). They can work all day and all night along the railways.
The special robot does difficult or dangerous work for people. In the past, workers often fell from high places when they fixed railways. There are also another danger: some people were electrocuted (触电致死). The robot helps solve these problems. It can also save manpower (人力).
Now, the special robot helps workers only in a few places in Japan. In the near future, it will help people in many places. It will help workers in other countries, too.
