Follow Your Dream is a famous show in America. It is mainly for children. It is designed to help children to follow their dreams. One day, a seven-year-old girl named Mary came to the show. During the show, the host James asked Mary, “Hi, Mary! Welcome!
” “I want to be a pilot!” said little Mary proudly.
“Let’s suppose that one day you are driving a plane above the Pacific, but your plane has run out of fuel (燃料). What would you do?” James continued.
Mary thought for a few minutes and then said, “I would tell all the passengers (乘客) to tie their seatbelts first. And then I will jump out of the plane with my parachute (降落伞).”
Everyone laughed. James was really surprised at the answer and couldn’t believe the answer came from such a lovely girl. However, he then saw the tears (眼泪) rolling down the little girl’s face. So he asked, “Why would you do that?”
“And then I will come back to save my passengers,” said Mary.

E. What would you like to be when you grow up?
Evolution (进化) has changed our bodies and faces over thousands of years, and it’s still happening. Here’s how experts predict (预测) what people will be like in 1,000 years.
We’ll be about 1.83~2.13 metres tall because of improved nutrition (营养) and medical science. Our arms and fingers will get longer to reduce the need to reach too far.
We’ll have smaller brains, maybe because computers will help us memorize and think most of the things.
There will be larger eyes and smaller mouths. And there may be fewer teeth as softer food needs less chewing and biting. We could even get our nutrition from liquids or pills in the future.
We can expect other great changes too. Everyone will have the same shape of noses. That’s because climate will have less influence on noses with the help of air conditioning and central heating. Besides, we will have more wrinkles (皱纹) as a result of looking at our electronic devices.
We also may end up with saggy (松弛的) necks because extra sun will cause loose skin. And there will be darker skin as people move around the planet and races (种族) mix.

When you’re having a holiday, one of the main questions to ask is which hotel or apartment to choose. However, when it comes to France, you have another special choice: treehouses.
In France, treehouses are offered to travelers as a new choice in many places. The price may be a little higher, but you do have a chance to call up your childhood memories.
Alain Laurens, one of France’s top treehouse designers, said, “Most of the people might have the experience of building a den (洞穴) when they were young. And they like that feeling of freedom when they are children.”
Its fairy-tale style gives travelers a special feeling. It seems as if they are living as a forest king and enjoying the fresh air in the morning.
Another kind of treehouse is the “star cube”. It gives travelers the chance of looking at the stars shining in the sky when they are going to sleep. Each “star cube” not only offers all the comfortable things that a hotel provides for travelers, but also gives them a chance to look for stars by using a telescope. The glass roof allows you to look at the stars from your bed.
