Looking into the Future
Are you curious about the future What do you think our life will be like in 50 years or more To answer this, you can read a sci-fi book. Perhaps you will have some ideas then. Today, many young readers are interested in science fiction. But what makes it so popular
adj. 好奇的 be curious about sth 对某事好奇
For one thing, science fiction gives us a chance to imagine what our future will be like. Anything is possible. We can dream big. Some people think there will be flying cars and robot servants. Others believe we will learn more about strange aliens and other worlds.
Another reason is that sci-fi writers and their work can inspire us to create the future. In 1945, a sci-fi author named Arthur C. Clarke wrote about a system of space stations.
一来，一方面 搭配：for one thing… for another… 一方面……另一方面……
what引导的宾语从句，作imagine的宾语
n. 仆人；佣人
n. 外星生物
v. 激励；鼓舞 inspire sb to do sth 鼓励某人做某事
In the article, he predicted the earth of the future would have many TV stations and people would send TV programmes around the world. However, this was before TV was a common item at home! In a short story by Clarke, he suggested people in the future would use a system to talk with others around the world. Amazingly, the short story was actually the inspiration for the internet!
n. 节目
n. 灵感；鼓舞人心的人（或事物）
Science fiction is also popular because it can make us think about our world in new ways. Although many sci-fi stories are set in imaginary worlds or societies, they can help us better understand the real world. They can also make us excited when we feel like we are living in a boring world.
What will the future be like Sci-fi inspires us and helps us to understand what it could be like.
adj. 想象中的；幻想的；虚构的
n. 社会
