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.

    Most animals on land are known to us, but many living things underwater are not. Now let's get to know some of them.

    Sea cucumber

    Sea cucumber are strange animals living at the bottom of the sea. They wear brown or white green coats. When summer comes, they stay deep to sleep because they are afraid of heat. And when it is autumn, they move to shallow (浅的) water and get their food.

    Pike

    The pike is a kind of freshwater fish. They are good swimmers and like swimming near boats, waiting to be fed. They have sharp teeth to catch fishes. When they are young, they live in groups. However, when they grow up, they prefer to live alone.

    Cuttlefish

    A cuttlefish can swim quite fast, so it is also called rocket (火箭) fish. It has eight arms and two feelers on its head, just around its mouth. It ejects ink (喷墨) when it is in danger. Its meat is delicious, and it is often the first choice for many people.

    Octopus

    An octopus has long arms, with which to catch food and protect itself. When it is sleeping, one or two of its arms are still on duty, keeping moving. Once it feels something dangerous, it can wake up at once to take action.

    This year's flu season is pretty scary. To try to minimize the effects, public officials are still urging anyone who hasn't yet gotten their flu shot to get one as soon as possible. However, even if every single person got a shot in the arm, the vaccine(疫苗)—with its excellent 36 percent effectiveness—would not prevent everyone from getting infected with the annoying virus. Knowledge is power, so here's what goes on in your body when you come down with the flu.

    The influenza virus primarily attacks your nose, throat, and the tubes that lead to your lungs. But the flu is so much more than that. Your muscles ache, your head hurts, and your appetite goes down, among other things. To our surprise, almost all of these symptoms have less to do with the virus itself than with your immune(免疫的)response to them. Unfortunately, the very defense you have in place to get rid of the flu is the reason you feel so painful when you recover.

    The virus usually enters through your mouth, typically by way of your hands. But it takes a few days for symptoms to set in. While this process might cause some harm to your nose and throat, it's nothing major, and nothing like the symptoms that typically accompany a bad or even mild case of the flu.

    The real fun starts when your immune system begins to fight. Your immune system comes in two parts: the innate system and the adaptive. The innate immune system is essentially an all-purpose tool. As soon as your body senses the presence of any injury or invader (入侵者), the innate immune system launches into action by producing tiny proteins called cytokines and chemokines. The cytokines reproduce almost immediately and start to attack the virus. This increase in immune cells creates an serious inflammation(炎症) throughout the body. But the worst is still to come. Meanwhile, the chemokines work with the adaptive immune system to help create T cells. These cells are a special type of white blood cell that works in a much more specific way: They find the influenza virus, identify what's special about it, and create something unique on their surface that finds and destroys similar invaders.

Twenty-five years ago, most young British people wanted a career in law, to be a doctor, or to take up singing. But today, things stand {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(different).

According to a recent survey, the "dream job" of young people {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(age) between 16 and 25 in the UK is a video blogger, or "vlogger(视频博主)". The survey, carried out among 1, 002 people, found that over 40% of them put vlogger as their number one choice on a list of dream {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(career).

The change is largely due to the rapid development of information technology (IT). The Internet and social media have made it {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(easy) and more convenient to reach a global audience, without having to enter a career in show business in the traditional way.

"In the past, the biggest stars {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(make) by the Hollywood studios; now, anyone with a computer camera may become a star, " said Phil Samuels, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} expert from the UK. "From fashion to comedy, these self-made stars interact online with their fans about everyday life. "

However, what people see {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(be) only the bright side of being a vlogger and they ignore the fact {#blank#}8{#/blank#} only those who are successful can gain fame and fortune. Actually, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} every success there are a hundred others who never get off the starting block. This is why some young people still show {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(prefer) for traditional jobs.

Every year, some 2. 3 million women and men around the world died from work-related accidents or diseases—that's more than 8, 000 deaths every single day—and at least 402 million people suffer from non-fatal occupational injuries. The number is enormous in terms of personal tragedy and hardship. And it comes with a huge economic loss. It is estimated that occupational accidents and diseases lead to a 5. 4 percent loss of annual global GDP. 

A safe and healthy working environment is so important that in June 2022 the ILO (International Labor Organization) took a historic step when it added a safe and healthy working environment to its Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work. 

Why does this matter? It matters because occupational safety and health can now no longer be viewed as an optional extra. All of the ILO's 186 member states are now required to respect, promote and achieve a safe and healthy working environment as a fundamental principle and right at work. 

This is significant for several reasons. First, it recognizes that every worker has the right to be protected from dangers and risks that can cause injury, illness or death in the workplace. 

By making occupational safety and health (OSH) a fundamental right, the ILO is sending a clear message to governments and employers of all countries that they must take responsibility for providing a safe and healthy working environment for all workers. 

When workers feel safe and healthy in their workplace, they are likely to be more productive and efficient. This can benefit workers, employers as well as the economy. Conversely, when workers are injured or become ill due to workplace dangers, it can have a significantly negative impact on productivity and economic growth. 

A safe and healthy working environment is now a fundamental right for each and every worker. Governments employers, trade unions as well as companies must work together to make this right a reality.
