他建议说他把面罩递给我，然后把我快速带到一个附近的小房间里休息我立刻就感到舒服些了一会儿我就又站起来，跟着他去领取了一台由电脑驱动的汽垫车这些汽垫车是在地面上漂浮着的，只要把座位打弯或压下，你就可以迅速地移动王平给我系好安全带并且教我如何使用人教版英语必修5 Unit 3 Life in the future 很快，我就跟王平飞得一样快了但是，当我们到达一个看上去像是大市场的地方时，王平不见了，因为很多汽垫车都四面八方地从身边飞奔他被卷入到这群车队中去了就在这个时候我得了一次“时间滞后”的回闪，这样我就再次看到了公元2008年的那个地区了我这才懂得我被送到了未来，但却仍然在自己的家乡！然后我又见到了王平，于是又跟在他后面飞去人教版英语必修5 Unit 3 Life in the future 来到一个形状奇怪的房子面前，他把我带到一个明亮而洁净的大房间那里有绿色的墙，棕色的地板，柔和的灯光突然，墙壁移动了原来是树形成的！后来我才发现，就是这些树的叶子为这栋房屋提供了急需的氧气然后王平在电脑荧屏上闪了一下开关，于是一张桌子和几把椅子就像变魔术一样从地板下面升了起来为什么不坐下来吃点东西呢？”他说道，“你第一次做这样的时间旅行，可能会感到有些困难。
今天没有任何出行计划，你可以好好休息一下明天你还要准备参观几个地方说完这些，他把食物摆在桌子上，又从地板下拿出一张床来他离开后，我快速吃了些东西，洗了个热水澡我感到累极了，溜到床上就睡着了人教版英语必修5 Unit 3 Life in the future 以后再谈吧！你们亲爱的儿子，李强 人教版英语必修5 Unit 3 Life in the future Using LanguageI HAVE SEEN AMAZING THINGSMy first visit was to a space station considered the most modern in space.Described as an enormous round plate，it spins slowly in space to imitate the pull of the earths gravity.Inside was an exhibition of the most uptodate inventions of the 31st century.A guide(G)showed us around along a moveable path.人教版英语必修5 Unit 3 Life in the future G：Good morning to all our visitors from 2008.First were going to examine one of the latest forms of communication among our space citizens.No more typists working on a typewriter or computer！No more postage or postcodes！Messages can now be sent using a“thoughtpad”You place the metal band over your head，clear your mind，press the sending button，think your message and the next instant its sent.Its stored on the“thoughtpad”of the receiver.Its quick，efficient and environmentally friendly.The only limitation is if the user does not think his or her message clearly，an unclear message may be sent.But we cannot blame the tools for the faults of the user，can we?人教版英语必修5 Unit 3 Life in the future During the explanation I looked at the pair of small objects called“thoughtpads”on a table.They just looked like metal ribbons.So ordinary but so powerful！While I was observing them，the path moved us on.人教版英语必修5 Unit 3 Life in the future G：And now ladies and gentlemen，we are in the“environment area”People used to collect waste in dustbins.Then the rubbish was sent to be buried or burned，am I right？(We nodded)Well，now theres a system where the waste is disposed of using the principles of ecology.A giant machine，always greedy for more，swallows all the waste available.The rubbish is turned into several grades of useful material，such as“fertilizer”for the fields and“soil”for deserts.Nothing is wasted，and everything，even plastic bags，is recycled.A great idea，isnt it?人教版英语必修5 Unit 3 Life in the future I stared at the moving model of the waste machine，absorbed by its efficiency.But again we moved on.G：Our third stop shows the changes that have happened to work practices.Manufacturing no longer takes place on the earth but on space stations like this one.A group of engineers programme robots to perform tasks in space.人教版英语必修5 Unit 3 Life in the future The robots produce goods such as drugs，clothes，furniture，hovering carriages etc.There is no waste，no pollution and no environmental damage！However，the companies have to train their representatives to live and work in space settlements.They have to monitor the robots and the production.When the goods are ready theyre transported by industrial spaceship back to earth.My mind began to wander.What job would I do？My motivation increased as I thought of the wonderful world of the future.人教版英语必修5 Unit 3 Life in the future 我看到了奇妙的东西我首先参观的是一座太空站，这个站被认为是太空中最现代化的地方。

一架巨大的机器，总是吞食掉所有的垃圾，而且总是贪得无厌垃圾被分解为几种有用的物质，比如说庄稼地的“肥料”和沙漠中的“土壤”什么都不浪费，所有的垃圾，甚至塑料袋也被回收利用很伟大的想法，不是吗？人教版英语必修5 Unit 3 Life in the future 我凝视着正在运转的垃圾处理机器模型，被它的高效所吸引我们再次向前移动导：我们的第三站展示了工作行为的变化批量生产不再在地球上进行，而是在这样的太空站上进行一组工程师编程机器人在太空里执行这些任务人教版英语必修5 Unit 3 Life in the future 这些机器人制造像是药品、衣服、家具、汽垫车等的货物没有废料、没有污染并且没有环境破坏但是，公司需要培训代表在太空定居点居住和工作他们需要监控机器人和生产当货物造好后，使用工业太空船运回地球我不禁浮想联翩我能做什么工作呢？当我想到未来的美妙世界时，我兴趣倍增、干劲十足人教版英语必修5 Unit 3 Life in the future 部分资料从网络收集整理而来，供大家参考，感谢您的关注！。
