Life in the year 3044 is very different1 life in the 21^st century. We still do many of the things you did, but we do them 2. For example, we now have e-friends to help us and keep us company. An e-friend is a machine that looks just3a human being. It can walk and talk and can do almost4 we human beings do. My e-friend is a lot like me and we have5fun together. She helps me 6 my homework and we often go swimming.  She is programmed to take care of me if anything7, so I always feel safe when we are together.  She can also send me messages, just like old-fashioned e-mail, and I can download information from her memory. It's great8an e-friend. I am never lonely and I always have someone to talk9.

      I would like to tell you more about life in the year 3044, but I have to send my e-friend to clean up my room. Maybe10I will be able to travel back in time and visit you.

    Many people say that they have seen flying saucers（飞碟） in the sky. 1 can these things be?

    Some people think that they are spaceships from other planets. Doctors 2 that perhaps they are only a weakness of the eyes. It is possible that they are our own planes 3 very high. Or are they birds with the sun's light on them?

    But some people say that they have seen them 4. They have seen beings（人） get off them and walk around. They have 5 to those beings, sometimes in English. People have 6 photos of flying saucers and of these beings. We have seen the photos, but sometimes the people had to take them in a 7. Children have seen flying saucers, and even dogs have seen them. Perhaps we do not think that the 8 of children, or dogs are important. But school-teachers have 9 seen them and Air Force officers and 10 policemen. Must we not listen to these people?

    What do you think of robots? Will they work for humans in the future?  Maybe we can't answer it.But robots have 1 an important part in our daily life for several years .But in some science fiction movies, the robots are just like humans. Now they help humans with the housework and do the most 2 jobs.

    Many scientists believe that there will be such robots in the future.3they agree it may 4 hundreds of years. Scientists are now trying to make robots look like people and do the same things as us.

    But robot scientist James White 5 He thinks that it will be 6 for a robot to do the same things as a person7 it's easy for a child to wake up and know where they are. Mr. White thinks that robots won't be able to do this. But other scientists disagree. They think that robots will be able to talk to people 8 25 to 50 years.

    Robot scientists are not just trying to make robots look like people. For example, there are already robots working in factories. They do many 9 over and over again. People would not like to do such jobs and would get bored. But robots will10 get bored.

    In the future, there will be more robots everywhere, and humans will have 11 work to do. New robots will have many different12. Some will look like humans, and13 might look like snakes. After an earthquake , a snake robot could help look for people under buildings. That may not seem possible now, but computers, space rockets and even electric toothbrushes 14 impossible a hundred years ago. With the 15of science technology. We never know what will happen in the future! Let's work much harder to make robots serve us better!

    For the first time. scientist have made clones(克隆) of monkeys. A clone is a copy of a living thing. A team of Chinese 1used cloning to make two baby monkeys. Both are girls. They are named ZhongZhong and Huahua.

    Scientist have cloned other kinds of 2. They have cloned dogs and cats, they have also cloned pigs, cows and ponies. The 3animals to be cloned in the world was a sheep named Dolly. She 4in 1966.

    Scientist had never been able to clone primates (灵长类动物), Primates are a group of animals. They include monkeys. apes (猿) and people. Now, that has come true. Soon scientist may be able to clone 5 too. However, the Chinese scientist will not be cloning people, they will keep cloning monkeys6monkeys are more like people than other lab animals such as mice or rats. Lab animals can help to study diseases. Cloning monkeys is 7to the scientist for medical studies.

    However, there are still reasons that some scientists want to8people. For example, some parents might want to clone a child who has died. Yet the cloned Child would 9really be the same. They would look like the same, but would not be the same one. It might be hard for them to know that they were a clone of10else.

    There are many kinds of pollution around us, 1 air pollution, soil pollution, noise pollution and light pollution. They are bad 2 our health in many ways.

    Burning gas, oil and coal creates air pollution. It can cause some eye and breathing problems.

    With the 3 of pollution and the development of industry, litter is everywhere. It makes our environment dirty. People put lots of rubbish in the land. Farmers use too many 4 in the fields. They destroy the soil.

So soil pollution has become serious.

    Noise pollution can make people 5. For example, people may lose their hearing if they have worked in a 6 place for a long time. Too much noise can cause high blood pressure 7.

    Having worked for a long time in strong, changeable light 8 cause some kinds of illnesses. It makes people feel 9 and is especially bad for the eyes.

    With 10 pollution, our planet will become greener and our health will be better. Let's be greener people.
