【正文】 。 What will life be like in the future? Many people, magazines and movies have told us that robots will be able to work for us. Although robots can already make cars, play music and do many trivial things for us, in the future, they can do more things, such as making websites, making houses and so on. Some people even believe that in the future with the help of robots, we needn39。t work. In the future, people might create a man that cannot have a will of his own and has to follow orders only from his master（主人）. The master must train him mentally with puters. As you know, an adult who follows the same training over and over again will not be able to change without another training. This means the master can have him work in a factory with no payment. And he will still be happy even if he only gets the basic lifesupport goods, because it39。s the way he was trained. I believe that this is the reason why the government does not allow any human research.（1）Robots can do the following things for humans EXCEPT .

TV channels will disappear in 2050. People will choose a programme from a menu and a puter will send the programme directly to the television. Water wilt bee one of our most serious problems. Today in many places, agriculture is developing and people are growing fruit and vegetables to export（出口）. This needs a lot of water. Need for water will increase ten times between now and 2050 and there will be serious shortages（短缺）. In transportation, puters will control the speed of the ears and there won39。t be any accidents. Today, many cars have puters that tell drivers exactly where they are. By 2050, the puter will control the car and drive it to where you want to go. Besides, space planes will take people halfway around the world in two hours. Nowadays, the United States Shuttle can go into space and land on Earth again. By 2050, space planes will fly all over the world and people will fly from Los Angeles to Tokyo in just two hours. In the field of technology, robots will replace people in many fields. Today many factories have already used robots. Big panies prefer robots because they do not ask for pay rises or go on strikes, and they work 24 hours a day. By 2050, we will see robots everywhere—in factories, schools, offices, hospitals, shops and homes.（1）TV channels will in 2050.
