M: Yes, I want to become a basketball player like Kobe.

like my father.
W: It’s tiring to be a doctor. Why do you choose to be a doctor?
M: Because it’s great to be able to save people’s lives. And there is still a shortage of good doctors in

we rode the time machine to his time.
W: That’s really cool. It sounds like what happens in the cartoon Doraemon.
M: Yes. In his time, there are no poor people. Robots take care of everything in people’s life. People don’t have to
work. They just spend time on their hobbies. What a comfortable life they have!
W: Wow, that’s my dream life! Do they live in space?
M: Yes, some of them do. Actually, people can live wherever they want — under the sea, on land or in space.

时间。
In the future, people would move to other planets like Mars, because the Earth is becoming more and more
crowded and polluted. What would life on Mars be like? Let’s go and have a look.
The gravity on Mars is only about three-eighths of that on Earth, so people would have to wear special boots
to keep themselves from floating off into space when they go out. People would have more space and they would
live in big, comfortable rooms. What’s more, people could have more time to relax because robots would do most
of the work. The food on Mars would be in the form of pills. It would not be as tasty as that on Earth.
There would be no schools on Mars. Every student would have a computer at home connected to an
interplanetary network. They would study at online school with e-teachers. The spacecraft would travel very fast,
but it is not very comfortable.
All in all, life on Mars will be exciting, but maybe a little uncomfortable.
