Let us suppose it is now about A.D. 2060. Let’s make believe it is about

45 years from now. Of course, things have changed and life is very

different.

Voyages to the moon are being made every day. It is as easy to take a

holiday on the moon today as it was for the people in 1960 to take a

holiday in Europe. At a number of scenic spots on the moon, many hotels

have been built. The hotels are air­conditioned, naturally. In order that

everyone can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the moon, every room has

at least one picture window. Everything imaginable is provided for

entertainment of young and old.

What are people eating now？People are still eating food. They haven’t

yet started to take on heir (继承) supply of energy directly as electrical

current or as nuclear power. They may some day. But many foods now

come in pill form, and the food that goes into the pill continues to come

mainly from green plants.

Since there are several times as many people in the world today as there

were a hundred years ago, most of our planet’s surface has to be filled.

The deserts are irrigated with water and crops are no longer destroyed

by pests. The harvest is always good.

Farming, of course, is very highly developed. Very few people have to

work on the farm. It is possible to run the farm by just pushing a few

buttons now and then.

People are now largely vegetarians (素食者). You see, as the number of

people increases, the number of animal decreases. Therefore, people

have to be vegetarians and we are healthier both in our bodies and in

our minds, and we know the causes and cure of disease and pain, and it

is possible to get rid of diseases. No one has to be ill any more.

Such would be our life in 2060.

【1】When was the passage written?

about A. D. 2060. about 1960.

【2】According to the text, what will be on the moon in about A. D. 2060?

Government in Tibet have denied the permanent(永久的) closure of

Mount Qomolangma National Nature Reserve.

The announcement came after a report went viral online claiming the

base camp of the world's highest mountain was “permanently closed

due to heavy pollution” and caused a universal misunderstanding.

Mount Qomolangma National Nature Reserve was set up in 1988.

Covering an area of more than 33, 800 square km, it is home to one of

the world's most weak ecosystems(生态系统).

Kelsang, deputy director of the reserves administration, said ordinary

tourists are allowed to visit areas around Rongpo Monastery, almost

5,000 meters above sea level. As for travelers who have a climbing

permit, they can go to the base camp at an altitude of 5,200 meters. The

mountaineering activities have been permitted by the regional forestry

department.
