Unit 8 Life in the future

一、课文再现

Life in 2050

The Hotel Whale

The Hotel Whale is built under the water. It is in the shape of a whale.

The hotel has bedrooms, a cafe and shopping centre.

Mrs Peng: “When we were staying at the hotel recently, my children watched the fish outside their bedroom window. They were never bored!”

Forever Green Houses

 These houses are both “green” and “smart”. There is glass outside the houses. Heat is held under the glass and is then used as energy for each house. In the bathroom, your medicine cupboard is connected to your doctor’s computer when your need more food.

Mr Yu: “When we were living in our old house, we were using more energy. I would certainly recommend Forever Green Houses to my friends. They will satisfy everyone.”

The CJ3

The Cj3 is a new type of hydrogen car. The hydrogen in the car is mixed with oxygen from the air to make electricity for the car. The CJ3 has an electronic map and is driven by a computer. You tell the computer where you want to go. Then you sit back and relax as the car takes you there.

Mr Hu: “While I was driving my old car, I was in my CJ3, I’m helping protect the environment.

MORE PRACTICE

Lily: I was staying at the hotel whale with my friends last week. After going shopping and having tea at the café, I went back to my room to rest. But when I opened the door, I saw that water was coming in through the window！I knew I should not just stand there, but I did not know what to do…

Mike: At 11:30 a.m. the day before yesterday, I was having lunch in our Forever Green House while our fridge was ordering food. Suddenly a light went on and a lot of food started to arrive from the supermarket: meat, vegetables, fruit, milk, and so on. “Stop!” I shouted at the fridge, but the food continued to come in…

Benny: Dad was driving us to the airport in his Cj3, and suddenly the car stopped. The hydrogen in the car failed to mix with the oxygen, so the car did not work. “Oh, no!” said Mum. “We’re going to miss our plane. What shall we do?”
