B 易读度

On a warm day in 2050, Frank and Mary Smith wake up in their comfortable house and turn on the computer in their bedroom to get the latest news. They read The Guardian before, but changed to electronic (电子的) newspapers many years ago.

Frank first reads some news about space: another space flight (航班) has returned from Mars. Then they turn to sport news. As they watch the screen, Mary pays for a robot to make coffee for them

Then Frank goes into another room to join a video meeting with his business partners (伙伴) around the wor ld. Frank is a computer engineer (工程师). Mary is still in their bedroom. She picks up the video phone to talk to her assistant (助理). Mary also has a job and she is doing medical research. Both she and Frank had office jobs before in London, but in 2040 they decided to move to the seaside and work from home.

Frank and Mary have one daughter, Louise. She goes to school only one day a week, mainly to play with other students. Classrooms disappeared in 2035 because there was no longer any need for them: the Internet had made it much easier to learn at home.

Louise, now thirteen, is studying Chinese, which has become a world language as important as English. Louise has many Chinese friends. They share many things online.

The family doctor says that Louise will live to be at least 130. Her wish is to work for twenty years and then spend her time studying music and painting.
