 It started in kindergarten. I made a resolution.

  I was always curious about the globe and the World Book Encyclopedia in our house.   I'd climb up to reach them and take them off the shelves. I learned a new big word continent.

  "We live in a Melting Pot , ”I remember hearing that. I noticed maps of oceans,countries and people. I began drawing pictures of the many different people who had come from all over the world to live in the United States. I wanted to see the world！

  Through travel,education,and amazing opportunities that came my way,I began my jour?ney.

  In South America,I walked through rainforests with mountains,wild life,and ...it really rained!However,I heard a talk that rainforests are disappearing ...There're lots of languages in?cluding English in Africa and also lots of poor people who live in the disadvantaged communities hardly feeding themselves... In Europe,I found out that Big Ben is not a giant person. Going to the top of the Eiffel Tower,and riding on a gondola (a kind of boat) in Venice were exciting... Sitting in a plane,I had a chance to have a glance at one of Australia's most beautiful natural gifts,the Great Barrier Reef... Asia was special when I first saw pandas. And then,in Thai?land,it was the elephants. Seeing them made me realize that animals,big and small,need the help of people like you and me...

  Antarctica is not an easy place to get to!I boarded a small plane with a scientist. While in route,depending on the weather,the pilot wasn't sure if we could land. And... we did!The scientist explained she had prepared twenty times before her first landing in Antarctica. It was like a foreign land―the land of penguins. They were all so busy but happy. My heart went out to them when I remembered the penguin movies I'd seen and the stories of sadness ...

  "Think green". I began hearing scientists predict that global warming is underway. My resolution began to evolve：I need to not just hear the words,but to learn more about " going green."I used to hear, "You can't protect what you don't know. " The one thing I've learned in all my travels is that the planet needs our help right now. We all need to find a way to help in "going green".

 What sort of life will you be living 39 years from now? Scientists have looked into the future and they can tell you. It looks as if everything will be so easy that people will probably die from boredom. You will be going around in some vehicles at 200 miles an hour and you will think nothing of taking a fortnight's holiday in outer space.

  Your house will probably have air walls,and a floating roof,adjustable to the angle of the sun. Doors will open automatically,and clothing will be put away by remote control. The heating and cooling systems will be built into the furniture. You'll have a home control room― an electronics centre,where messages will be recorded when you're away from home. This will play back when you return,and also give you up-to-the-minute world news,and write down your latest mail. You'll have wail-to-wall global TV,an indoor swimming pool,TV-telephones and room-to-room TV.

  The status symbol of the year 2000 will be the home computer help,which will help mother tend the children,cook the meals and issue reminders of appointments.

Cooking will be in solar ovens with microwave controls. Food won't be very different from 1961,but there will be a few new dishes―instant bread,foodless foods ( minus nutritional properties) ，juice powders and so on.

  At work,dad will operate on a 24-hour week. The office will be airconditioned with pleasant smell and extra oxygen to give a physical and psychological lift. Mail and newspapers will be reproduced instantly anywhere in the world by facsimile (傳真) .There will be machines doing the work of clerks,shorthand writers and translators. Machines will "talk" to each other.

  It will be the age of pressbutton transportation. Rocket belts will increase a man's step to 30 feet,and bustype helicopters will travel along crowded air ways. There will be moving plasticcovered pavements,200 mph. monorail trains operating in all large cities. The family car will be soundless and the engine will be smaller than a typewriter. Cars will travel overland on an 18 inch air cushion. Railways will have one central operator,who will control a whole nation's traffic. Jet trains will be guided by electronic brains.

  By the year 2020,five percent of the world's population will have emigrated into space. Many will have visited the moon and beyond.

Our children will learn from TV,recorders and teaching machines. They will get pills to make them learn faster.

  We shall be healthier,too. There will be no common colds,cancer,tooth decay or mental illness. Rejuvenation (年輕化) will be in the middle stages of research,and people will live healthily,to 85 or 100.

  It's the way they think the world will live in the next century―if there's any world left!
