Unit 20 New Frontiers Life in the future 【文章导语】 Have you ever imagined your life in the future?What will it be like?Do you think all your dreams will come true? It’s 2055.You have a job,a family and you’re about 40 years old!Welcome to your future life! Getting ready for work,you pause in front of the mirror.1“Turn red,” you say.Your shirt changes from sky blue to deep red.Tiny preprogrammed electronics are rearranged in your shirt to change its color.Looking into the mirror,you find it hard to believe you’re 40.2You look much younger.With amazing advances in medicine,people in your generation may live to be 150 years old.You’re not even middle-aged! As you go into the kitchen and prepare to have your breakfast cereal,you hear,“To lose weight,you shouldn’t eat that” from your shoes.They read the electronic code on the cereal box to find out the nutrition details.You decide to listen to your shoes.“Then what can I have for breakfast?” Some possible foods appear on the counter. “Ready for your trip to space?” you ask your son and daughter.In 2016 only few specially trained astronauts went into space.Today anyone can go to space for vacations.Your best friend even works in space.Handing your children three strawberries each,you add,“The doctor said you need these for space travel.”3 Thanks to medical advances,vaccination shots (疫苗注射) are a thing of the past.Ordinary foods contain special vaccines.With the berries in their mouths,the kids head for the front door. It’s time for you to go to work.Your car checks your fingerprints and unlocks the doors.“My office.Autopilot (自动驾驶仪),” you command.Your car drives itself down the road towards your office.You sit back and read your e-newspaper.The latest news downloads and fills the viewer.Looking through the pages,you watch the news as video film rather than read it.4 译文 现在是2055年,你有一份工作、一个家庭,你已经40岁了。欢迎 来到你的未来生活! 做好了上班的准备,你站在了镜子前。“变成红色”你说。你的衬 衫从天蓝色变成了深红色。你的衬衫上的微小的智能电子元件进 行重组从而改变了它的颜色。望着镜中的自己,你觉得很难想象自 己已经40岁了。你看起来年轻多了。有了先进的医学科技,你们这 一代人可以活到150岁。你现在连中年都不到! 当你走进厨房准备吃谷类的早餐时,你听到你的鞋子在对你 说:“为了减肥,你不该吃那个。”他们能够读到食品盒子上的电子源 码,并且弄清楚营养成分。你决定听鞋子的话。“那我早餐该吃什 么?”一些你可以当作早餐的食物出现在柜台上。 “为你们的太空之旅做好准备了吗?”你问你的儿子和女儿。在 2016年,只有很少的经过专门训练的宇航员可以进入太空。今天任 何人都可以去太空度假。你最好的朋友甚至在太空工作。给了你 的孩子每人三个草莓,你又补充说:“医生说你们太空旅行需要这 些。”多亏了现代医学的进步,防疫针已经成为过去。一般的食物 中就含有疫苗。吃着草莓,孩子们朝前门走去。 你该去上班了。你的车子核对了你的指纹自动开锁。你发布命 令:“自动驾驶仪,去我的办公室。”你的车子自主驶向你的办公室。 你靠在座椅上读电子报纸。最新的消息下载并出现在你的阅读器 上。浏览着页码,其实你不是在阅读,你是在看视频了解新闻。 典句欣赏 1.Getting ready for work,you pause in front of the mir
