    What might the future be like? Here are some predictions：things to come，things to go．

    The Spring Festival，the most important Chinese holiday when everyone returns home，has caused headaches for millions of Chinese．More than 2 billion people travel at the same time，making getting travel tickets and the journey difficult．But in 28 years，the Spring Festival travel may not be a problem at all．China plans to build more than 120，000 kilometers of railway and a fast transportation network that will serve 90％of the population by 2020．And because most of China will be cities，people will not have to go to other places to find a job，so it will no longer be a problem．

    Newspapers will come to an end in 2043．In the future，digital(数字的)newspapers will be sent to personal web tools through Internet．Readers can discuss topics with journalists and editors．Information will move faster．

    Oil is running out faster than expected．But scientists have found something else for oil as fuel(燃料)．Coal，natural gas，solar power，nuclear power and even water can take the place of oil as sources of energy(能源)．

Schools will go electronic(电子化)．Computers will be important and popular among the students. Everything will be in the computer and students will not need to bring books to school．They will find information on the Internet．A computer will be the students' library，schoolbag and connection to the outside world．There will be robot teachers，and they will check homework on computers and communicate with the students' parents through e-mail．And school buses will be like spaceships，comfortable and safe．

When You're Stuck at Home

     Maybe you can't go out because the weather is 1 or too cold. But that doesn't mean you can't get some2 while you're inside.

      Turn on your favorite 3 and dance. Invite your dog or cat to join in the4. Or catch a hula hoop and make up some hula-hoop dances. 5 there is enough room, you can jump rope and count how many 6 you jump without missing.

      There are basketball hoops with over-the-door hooks and 7 made from soft foam(泡沫) that are meant to be played with indoors. If you have them and 8 enough room, set them up and shoot some hoops. Have a 9 with everyone in the house — may the best basketball player win!

      More things to do when you're stuck at home:

      ·Do some tumbling(翻筋斗) if you have enough room to do it.

      ·Set up a scavenger hunt.

      ·Bat a balloon back and forth and try not to let it hit the floor.

      And here's one thing not to do: Try not to say, “I'm 10. There's nothing to do.” As you just found out, there's always something to do!

    I like reading. I love many different kinds of books, because they not only open my mind but also give me .

    Up to now I have read a lot of books, such as magazines, novels and storybooks. But one of the books that I like best is The Story of My Life. Itwas  by American writer Helen Keller in 1902. She was a blind, deaf and dumb person. In the book, she wrote that she had not been able to see, hear or speak  she was one year and seven months old. This unusual thing made her very . Luckily, she met her good teacher, Miss Sullivan  the age of seven. Helen was getting happier every day. Then, Miss Sullivan helped her learn how to write English words. Atfirst, Miss Sullivan wrote some words on Helen's hands with her own fingers again and again. Helen was a very  girl. She tried as much as possible to remember words. After that, she wrote many famous works. The Story of My Life is one of .

The Story of My Life describes her hard struggle(奋斗) to  a good writer and educationist of the world.

    It  us an important truth: Nothing is  ifyou put your heart into it! This is why I like it best. What about you?
