Have you ever imagined     1    (live) in 2200, about 200 years from now? A recent study describes robots, underwater cities and holidays in space. City planners, experts on space and architects    2     (ask) to give their ideas of life in 2200. According to them, the way people live, work and play will be totally different     3     how we do these things today. They also said that over twenty years ago, people couldn't imagine how the Internet     4     the smartphones would change our lives. But today, both have changed the way we communicate, learn and do daily things, and the changes in the next century will probably be even     5    (great).

Those     6    (question) in the research said that people might not go to the office in the future but would work at home instead. People will have advanced 3-D printers that will enable    7     to download a design for furniture or a food picture and then to "print" the sofa, table or pizza at home.    8     will also be less need for visits to the doctor. People will have a home health capsule that will "diagnose"    9    the problem is and provide various treatment.     10    (hopeful), they will also be going into space for holidays to get resources that have been used up on earth.

A company     1     (name) “Future Tours” transported Li Qiang and his friend Wang Ping     2     (safe) into the future in a time capsule. They climbed in through a small opening and soon the journey     3    (complete). They were still on the earth but 1,000 years in the future.

Confused by the new surroundings, Li Qiang was hit by a lack of fresh air. Li Qiang chose     4     hovering carriage driven by computer and began     5    (move). There were so many carriages     6     he lost sight of Wang Ping. A few minutes     7    (late), Li Qiang caught sight of Wang Ping.

    8    (arrive) at a house, he was surprised to see tree     9    (leaf) surrounding the house and they provided the house with much-needed oxygen.     10     a good dinner, Li Qiang felt exhausted, so he slid into bed and fell fast asleep.

A Capsule Fails the Test of Time

The US state of Oklahoma, the 48th state in the Union, celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2007. In a year full of official     1    (celebrate), one event in June attracted spectators and media from all around the world. On 15 June 2007, thousands of people gathered in Tulsa to watch the unearthing of a time capsule that had been buried half a century earlier. There was a feeling of     2    (excite) in the air. As well as     3    (wait) to see the time capsule, the crowd was also waiting to find out who had won a competition which     4    (launch) when the capsule was buried 50 years earlier.

The time capsule was a large concrete box. People said it was strong     5     to survive a nuclear strike. It had to be large and strong, because it contained a car: a brand new 1957 Plymouth Belvedere. Inside the car     6    (be) lots of everyday items from the 1950s. For example, there was a can of petrol and a case of beer in the boot. In the glove box was a handbag     7    (contain) a lipstick and other small items considered     8    (essence) for a ‘typical’ woman in the 1950s.

Before the capsule was buried, officials ran a competition. Entrants had to guess what the population of Tulsa would be in 2007. The organizers recorded all the guesses and saved     9     on a roll of microfilm. The microfilm was placed in the Plymouth Belvedere. The organizers’ idea was that     10     the time capsule was opened in 2007, the winner would be announced – and he or she (or his or her hers) would win the entire contents of the time capsule, plus the contents of the savings account.
