A woman saw three old men sitting outside. She said, "I don't think I know you, but you1be very hungry. Please come in and have something to eat."

"We don't go into a house2." They replied.

"Why is that?" she asked.

One of the old men answered, "His name is Wealth(财 富 ), this is Success(成功), and I am Love." Then he said, "Now go in and3with your family which one of us you want in your house."

The woman went in and told her family what had happened. She said,

"Let's invite Wealth. We have been so4. "Her husband disagreed,

"My dear, why don't we invite Success? Don't you want me to be a successful man?" then her daughter asked, "Would it be5to invite Love? Our life will then be filled with love!"

In the end the family decided to take the6advice. The woman went out and asked, "Which one of you is Love? Please come in and7our guest." Love got up and started walking to the house. The other two also got up and8him. Surprised, the lady asked Wealth and Success, "I9invite Love. Why are you coming along?" The two old men answered, "If you had invited Wealth or Success, the other two would have to stay out. But since you have invited Love, wherever he goes, we go with him.10there is Love, there is Wealth and Success."

New Year is coming. Do you have any plans for yourself ？ Let's look at the following kids' New Year's plans.

Every country has its favorite food. Italians like to eat pizza .Indians like to eat hot food .Japanese like to eat fish, often they don't cook it.

In England, one of the most popular kinds of food is fish and chips. People usually buy it in a fish and chip shop. They put it in paper bags, and take it home, or to their workplace. Sometimes they eat it in the park or on the road. The world's favorite food is American fast food .If you go to some important cities in the world, you can find people eating hamburgers and chips.

Fish and chips, and Chinese take－away food are very popular in England. But they are less popular in the USA, they eat take－away food, too, like chicken .But the most popular kind of take－away food is the hamburger. It looks like bread with meat in it. Ham(火腿) is a kind of pork, but the hamburger does not have any pork in it. The beef is inside a kind of cake .Hamburgers are delicious. They are also popular in England and Australia.

In a classroom, Garry Golden is sharing his ideas with some university students. Golden is a futurist. Futurists are scientists who study the world today and use that information to make predictions about the future. Some futurists study the environment. Some study human society(社 会 ) . Golden studies transportation—the science of how to move people from place to place. Golden says there will be fewer cars in cities in the future.

"Cars take up a lot of space," Golden says." We have to build lots of parking lots(停 车 场 ) for them , but having so many parking lots is not efficient. Much of the time the parking lots are empty." Golden says cities will make new laws to limit(限制) the number of cars in the future.

"Buses have the same problem as parking lots," Golden says. Sometimes they are full, and sometimes they are empty. Golden says in the future people can use phones to send messages when they want to take the bus. And buses can change(改变) their ways to pick them up.

"Traffic is a big problem for cities today," Golden says." But there are so many things we can do to improve it. I believe that in thirty years we will live in a very different world."

Many people believe that, by the year 2100, we will live on the planet—Mars(火星). Here is what life could be like.

First of all, transport should be much better. By 2100, spaceships can travel at half the speed of light. Secondly, humans need food, water and air to live. Scientists should be able to find plants that can grow on Mars. These plants will provide us with food and air. We could easily jump too high and fly slowly away into space. To prevent this, humans on Mars have to wear special shoes to make themselves heavier. Life on Mars will be better in many ways. It is possible to live in a large building with many bedrooms. Then, robots will do most of the work, so we can have more time for hobbies. Every student can study, do their homework on the computer and take exams in online schools. Each student will also have their own online teacher called "e－teacher".

However, in some ways, life on Mars may not be better than that on the earth today. Meals will probably be in the shape of pills(药片) and will not be as delicious as they are today. Also space travel will make many people feel ill.
