2040年一天的生活
【内容提示】
让你的想像力飞往2040年，用英语描述那时一天的生活情景。内容要点如下：
①早上7点你醒了，妻子还在睡觉。你赶紧起床，因为9点钟在天津有一个重要会议。
②你让机器人去准备早饭，你自己去冲了个澡。冲完澡，早饭已做好了。你吃着饭，觉得还是妻子做得好吃。
③你走出别墅，开出办公型上海牌轿车，定好目的地和到达时间就出发了。时速180公里，公路很畅通。
④开完会，你觉得很累。你步出会议室，呼吸着新鲜的空气。花儿香，鸟儿唱，一派美景。
⑤你的思想返回到60年前：政府忙于发展经济，很少关心环境污染。但如今呢，一切都变了，工厂迁到地下，烟囱没有了。
⑥下午，你飞往兰州去会见负责太空移民中心的 Tom Ptrson 先生。你一下飞机就走进漂亮雅致的大会客室。
⑦汤姆说，如果你和妻子通过体检，就可以迁往月球。你把消息通过可视电话告知妻子，她高兴极了。她说等你回家吃她亲手做的可口的晚饭呢。
