Where do you think people will live in the future? Can you predict people will work and live in the sea? But how will people go to work then? By submarine (潜水艇). Some scientists believe that some day submarine will be as many as today's cars. A famous French drivers says 'One day,man will work on the ocean floor as they do on the street!'
If humans want to live in the sea, they have to solve a lot of problems, similar to those of living on the moon, are lack of oxygen (缺氧) and weightlessness (失重). Many questions are hard to solve. For example, what will happen to our bodies if we live in the sea for a very long time?
Scientists are looking for answers.
Maybe in 50 years man will be able to live in the sea,away from the crowded and noisy cities on land. Man will find it fun and interesting to live in the sea.
And life in the sea is more comfortable. Don't you think so?

“Life is speeding up(加快速度). Everyone is getting unwell.” This may sound like something someone would say today. But in fact, an unknown person wrote it.
Inventions can change our lives. But have all these things really improved our lives? Imagine this. You’re doing your homework on the computer. Your mobile phone rings and the noise from the television is getting louder and louder. Suddenly the computer is turned off and you lose all your work. How do you feel? Inventions have speeded up our lives, but they often leave us feeling tired.
One family in England went “back in time” to see what life was like without these inventions. The grandparents, with their daughter and grandsons Ben 10 and Tom 7, spent nine weeks in an old house.
