In 2018, I spend my summer vacation alone. I didn’t have too many money, so I could not undertake costly travel. Instead of, I went backpacking. But I didn’t plan carefully when I would stay the night. Beside, it was late for us to figure it out. Then I found an helpful app. As soon as I arrived somewhere, I would have more than one places to stay. At last, I chose stay with a local family. I made friends with whom I met along the way. I know this is not a thoughtful approach. I should say, though, it makes a big different in my life!

You get up in the morning and look into the mirror. You look young. In 2040, many people can live to be about 150 years old. So at the age of 40, you’re not old at all. And your parents look the same age as you!
You say to your shirt, “Turn red.” It changes from blue to red. In 2040, “smart clothes” can change the color or style as you like.
You walk into the kitchen. You pick up the milk, but you hear the voice, “You shouldn’t drink that!” Your fridge remembers the information about the milk. It knows that the milk is not fresh. In 2040, every household appliance (家用电器) is like your servant.
It’s time to go to work. In 2040, cars drive themselves. Just tell your “smart car” where to go. On the way, you can call a friend with your watch. Such “smart technology” is all around you. So will all these things come true? “All these will come true, and maybe even better.” says a scientist. I am looking forward to the new life.

Just like a car engine needs petrol, your body needs fuel. It needs food!
The things you eat and drink are turned into energy.
You need energy for everything-playing, walking, running, thinking-even sleeping.
Feeling hungry may mean you are running low on energy. If it is not meal time, you may need a snack to refuel.
But what sort of snack should you eat? This is like choosing the right fuel for a car. Some cars, such as racing cars, need the best fuel to go fast and keep their engines running smoothly.
So, if you want to be at your most lively, choose the best fuel. This means eating healthy snacks.
There is no better way to keep your engine running smoothly!
