原文
Read the comments about changes in the future. How much do you agree with them?
The days, some people work at home one or two days a week instead of going to an office every day. I think in the future a lot more people will work from home all the time. And the number of offices will decrease. It's sad, because people will lose most of their s(71) skills like the ability to connect to others.
There won't be any paper books in the future. They might disappear c(72). If you want to read books, you will have to download them to a portable e-reader. It will hold hundreds of your favourtie books. Some e-readers might also be waterproof. So you can use them when you are having a bath or a s(73)!
I think the number of people on the planet will continue to i(74). There'll be less space, so we'll need to change the way we live. Maybe we'll live underground, or maybe lots of people will live together in a single house. It's horrible! Life will definitely get w(75) than it is now!
Our house might be s(76) in the future. If there's an emergency, it will automatically send a message to the police or call for an ambulance. Our house might also control the heating and the air-conditioning, so we'll never feel too hot or too cold.
Driverless cars are a new thing at the moment, but I think in the future it will be common to have one. I think it'll be a good and safe thing, because we won't have so many road a(77). Maybe we will stop using petrol, too. That would be good.
文章大意
这些评论主要探讨了未来可能发生的几个变化。首先，随着远程工作的普及，预计将有更多人长期在家工作，办公室数量可能减少，但这可能导致人们失去社交技能。其次，预测未来可能没有纸质书籍，而是被电子阅读器取代，这种设备能够存储大量书籍并具备防水功能。第三，随着人口增长，空间变得更为有限，可能需要改变居住方式，如地下居住或多人共居。同时，未来住宅可能更加智能化，能自动应对紧急情况并控制温度。最后，尽管自动驾驶汽车目前尚属新兴事物，但预计未来将变得普遍，减少交通事故，甚至可能减少对石油的依赖。这些预测反映了技术进步对社会生活的潜在影响。
