I didn't say anything, no matter what they did. I wasn't going to help them attack our planet! After thirty minutes or so, they got really angry and went away.
When they were gone, I broke the rope (绳子) on my body and ran through the UFO, hiding whenever I heard a noise. Finally, I found a door. There was a strange button (按钮) near the door, so I pushed it.

Technology has the power to do many things, including changing the world we live in and the way we live. We are lucky to live in a time when science and technology can help us make our lives easier and rethink the ways to improve our daily lives.
Robots in space and in the workplace

Lab-grown meat
Lab-grown meat is a real thing that's already being worked on. If scientists can grow meat in the lab, it will change the way we live and eat forever. This change can not only _▲_ the damage meat farming does to the world, but also offer meat that many people could enjoy.

A Day of a Student in the Future
Life will become more amazing in the future.
Before school, I wake up in a smart house. A gentle voice tells me the weather and my schedule. My breakfast is already prepared by a robot cook. Then I go to school by a flying bus.
At school, we study with AI teachers. They know what I’m good at and what I need to practise. During break time, I play football with robot classmates. They are strong but never get tired!
After school, I do my homework with VR glasses. It feels like I’m travelling inside a history book. In the evening, a smart watch checks my health and reminds me to sleep early.
A day in the future is busy but full of joy!
