2 . ①Holly had a cousin called Rosie. Holly’s family was very poor but Rosie’s was very rich. Holly had short curly hair. Rosie’s hair was long and beautiful. Holly looked common while Rosie was pretty. Rosie always laughed at her. Holly was very sad and hated everything about herself, though her parents looked after her very well. She wanted to become Rosie.

②Finally, Holly became herself with the help of the old woman. She felt very happy, even if she was not rich or beautiful. She thought, “I needn’t admire others. The things that I have are the best.”

③After eating an old woman’s cake, Holly really became Rosie. Her house was large and bright. She wore expensive clothes and had much money. However, her parents were too busy to care about her. On her birthday, no one stayed with her because her parents were away on business and her friends were not available. She felt much lonelier and sadder than before. She missed her family so much. Holly wanted to be herself again.

5 . What will travel be like in 2070? Maybe travel will become smarter and easier by that time. Here are some amazing predictions about traveling that might happen in 2070.

You will use “heartbeat passport(护照)” at the airport. And passport checks will not be used any more. Because everyone’s heartbeat is different and it can tell you who you are and where you will go. Also, it provides more personal information.

Airplane seats could fit a person’s body shape, size and even temperature. There will be no screens on the airplane. With a futuristic device(未来设备), you can watch many kinds of movies on the airplane right before your eyes.

3D print technology will develop surprisingly fast. It can print almost everything like clothes and food. Therefore, when you get to the hotel, suitcase will not be needed any more.

The trip will become interesting and colorful. Many kinds of services will be provided during the trip. If you want to see what happened in the Ming Dynasty or the first Olympic Games, you can just wear a special headset or glasses.
