    When it comes to the kitchen, Bruce, an expert at Whirlpool, is sure that in a few years, robots will be doing most of the boring work, freeing us to relax.

    "The fridge will be the centre of the home," says Daniel, a market expert. The fridge will have a touch screen (触摸屏幕) where you can watch TV, surf the Internet, check your emails, keep a shopping list and order vegetables.

Hi! Do you know who I am? Well, my name is Lost and Found. I am a box. Now I am in Classroom 2E, No.1 Middle School. You can see a pen, a watch and a notebook in me.

 Every day, when I pass by the piano room, I always stop and look at the piano. I can feel my 5 dancing at the piano and they look so beautiful. Mr Smith 6 me do that often. He asks me to come to his office and gives me a key to the piano room 7 Monday. I can get into the room before and after school to play the piano. I jump with happiness when I get8 key.

 Now I go to school half an hour early to play the piano and I'm playing very 9 . Mr. Smith's kindness means a lot to me. 10 kind teacher he is! All I want to say to Mr Smith is" Thanks".
