No one knows what would happen in the future for sure. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} we often think of the future and wonder what the world would be like {#blank#}2{#/blank#} a hundred years' time.

    Think of space. By that time perhaps {#blank#}3{#/blank#} permanent station on the moon will have been set up. Perhaps people {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(be) able to visit the moon as tourists. Cheap rockets for space travel will have been developed, {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(permit) long journeys throughout the solar system. When that time comes, people will be taking holidays in space and visiting other planets, such {#blank#}6{#/blank#} the Mars Colony and the Venus Exploration outpost.

    Scientists of the future will almost certainly find other ways to make life last{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(long). They will {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(probable) find cures for most diseases. Hospitals will may have “body banks” {#blank#}9{#/blank#} can give you almost any new part you need to keep on {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (live). People in the future may live to be a lot older than 100 years.

    Tim Cook，the CEO of Apple，showed off their newest device，the Apple Watch．Mr．Cook said it was the most personal device Apple{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(create)．

    The Apple Watch is a very small computer a person wears on his or her wrist．It can do many of the same things{#blank#}2{#/blank#}an iPhone．The apps are customized(定制) for the watch．It is different than just seeing{#blank#}3{#/blank#}is on your phone．

    Like a phone，you will be able to receive{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(call)on your wrist．Mr.Cook smiled while{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(describe) this. “I've been wanting to do this since I was five years old，”he said. “The day is{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(final) here．”

    The watches arrived in stores{#blank#}7{#/blank#}late April．They are sold at different prices，beginning at ＄349．Mr．Cook said the high-end model，the one{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(make) of 18-karat gold，is thousands of dollars.

    One problem with Apple Watch is that you need an iPhone on your body，or nearby{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(get) this watch to function fully．Like a phone，it also needs to be charged each night. It remains to be seen whether people really want to carry both a smart phone{#blank#}10{#/blank#}a smart watch.

Going out to Sun Peaks for Fun

    We went looking for some family ski fun, not too far from greater Vancouver, and we found it and more at Sun Peaks Resort, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (locate) just 20 minutes outside of Kamloops. Pulling into the village, you feel like you've come along a mountainside wonderland {#blank#}2{#/blank#} two hills. Right away you feel at peace in the mountains.

    Sun Peaks has two mountains for skiing and boarding, with lots of lift and capacity {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (get) you around. Most accommodations throughout the village are ski-in/ski-out, so you can park your car once and walk or ski{#blank#}4{#/blank#} you need to go. Morrisey is on one side, and Todd Mountain on the other, connected by trails and a covered bridge, with skiable ground second in Canada only to Whistler. There is {#blank#}5{#/blank#} for everyone, from snow flying saucer and snowmobile, to mini golf and jungle live CS. During the two days of skiing on the holiday, we never met more than five minutes of lineup, and many times we {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (run) ourselves with fresh powder.

    Tubing is right there at the bottom of the main ski hill, perfect for parents who want to have some drinks at Bottoms Bar & Grill {#blank#}7{#/blank#} the kids keep the fun going into the evening. The village is small and quiet, so the kids {#blank#}8{#/blank#} have a lot of freedom to run around and play.

    Bring your skates! There is an NHL-sized outdoor rink (溜冰场), just a 10 minute walk from the main village. Skate rentals are available, and you can join a game of drop-in hockey, or enjoy a family skate during one of the open ice times {#blank#}9{#/blank#} go well into the evening, under the stars. Check with guest services to see if the rink is open, since it is weather dependent.

    In the summertime at Sun Peaks, the chairlifts switch up to accommodate mountain bikes and hikers. Downhill biking trails create adventure for those {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (look) for excitement, and the golf course at Sun Peaks provides hours of great scenic links.

    As we head towards midwinter all seems quiet in the garden, but now is the perfect time for {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (plant) a tree. Are you worrying about not having the space? Are you gardening on concrete? There {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (be) a simple solution {#blank#}3{#/blank#} the problems: grow a small tree in a pot. This is often overlooked, so in an effort {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (change) that, here is a list of the best species for pot growing, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} will work well in even the tiniest of the city gardens.

The most {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (common) suggested candidate for this treatment is an olive(橄榄树)—and with good reason. They are evergreen and have character from a young age.

    If you want something {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (usual), I'd give dwarf eucalypus {#blank#}8{#/blank#} try. Eucalypus kybeannensis is much slower growing than its cousins, creating an airy treetop of fragrant leaves on trees just 5m tall.

    Finally, if bright {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (colour) are more your thing, you can choose Cercis canadensis “Forest Pansy”(加拿大红叶紫荆). It is clothed all summer in rich and heart-shaped leaves with bare branches {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (decorate) with pink flowers in the spring.

    She looks like any other schoolgirl, fresh-faced and full of life. Sarah Thomas is looking forward to the challenge of her new A-level course. But unlike her school friends, 16-year-old Sarah is not spending half-term rest. Instead, she is earning £6500 a day as {#blank#}1{#/blank#}model in New York.

    Sarah {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(tell) that she could be Britain's new supermodel{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (earn) a million dollars in the next year. Her father Peter, 44, wants her to give up school to model full-time. But Sarah, {#blank#}4{#/blank#}has taken part in shows along with top models, wants to prove that she has brains as well as beauty. She is determined to carry on with her{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (educate).

    She has turned down several {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (invite) to star at shows in order to concentrate on her studies. After school she plans to take a year off to model full-time before going to university to get a degree {#blank#}7{#/blank#}engineering or architecture.

    Sarah says, "My dad thinks I should take the offer now. {#blank#}8{#/blank#}at the moment, school comes first. I don't want to get too {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (absorb) in modeling. It is certainly fun that the lifestyle is a little{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (real). I don't want to have nothing else to fall back on when I can't model any more."
