2045年的生活是什么樣？1歡迎來到未來的生活！當(dāng)你早上起來，照著鏡子，由于最近做了新的抗衰項(xiàng)目，所以自己看起來只有30歲一樣。許多和你年齡相仿的人現(xiàn)在可以活到120歲，所以你60歲一點(diǎn)也不算老。2科學(xué)發(fā)展使得人們找到了保持健康的神奇方法。納米技術(shù)可以治療許多疾病，甚至可以治愈癌癥。如果你身體上有任何一個(gè)部分出現(xiàn)問題，你可以在實(shí)驗(yàn)室里重新“長(zhǎng)”一個(gè)。TextA3Whenyougetdressedinthemorning,youmaysoonchooseyourclothesbasedonwhattheycandoratherthanhowtheylook.“smartclothes”ofthefuturewillturnenergyfromthesunintoelectricity.Thispowercouldbeusedtochargeyourphoneorcomputer.Someclothescouldevenbeprogrammed3toheatuportochangecolor.Yousaytoyourshirt,“Turnred.”Anditbecomesred.In2045,“smartclothes”containnanoparticles4

3當(dāng)你早上穿衣服的時(shí)候，你可能很快通過功能選擇衣物而不是搭配。未來的“智能衣物”可以把太陽能轉(zhuǎn)化為電能，可以用來給手機(jī)或電腦充電。有些衣服甚至可以通過程序設(shè)置進(jìn)行加熱或變色。你對(duì)你的襯衫說“變紅”，它就可以變成紅色。到2045年，“智能衣物”將含有攜帶電的納米顆粒。目前，智能衣物能夠監(jiān)測(cè)穿戴者的心率。TextA4Onthewaytothekitchen,youwanttocallafriend.Yourcellphoneisbythewindowbecauseitgetsitsenergyfromthesun.Butyoudon’tneedtopickupthephone.Youcanjusttouchyourjacketsleevetomakethecall.5Thenitisbreakfasttime.Youreachformilk,butavoicesays,“Don’tdrinkthat!”Yourfridgeknowsthemilkisnotfresh,andtellsthesupermarkettoreplace6

4在去廚房的路上，你想給朋友打電話。而你的手機(jī)在窗邊，正在通過光照充電。這時(shí)，你不需要走過去拿起手機(jī)打電話，而是摸一下外套的袖子就可以撥通。5然后到了早餐時(shí)間。你伸手去拿牛奶的時(shí)候，會(huì)有個(gè)聲音響起:“不要喝那個(gè)!”你的冰箱可以識(shí)別到牛奶不新鮮，然后向超市同步，十分鐘后，新鮮牛奶就會(huì)由一架無人機(jī)送到。TextA6Asyouleaveforwork,thelightsturnoffbythemselves.Yourhomegoesinto“sleep”mode8
