第三节

请用所听到的内容填写表格中所缺单词，每空限填一词。短文读两遍。

M:According to many scientists, our world will be very different in 2050. By 2050 we will have “clever” cars. There won't be so many accidents, because they will be able to communicate with each other. Cars will slow down by themselves or stop in dangerous situations. Also, our cars will run on electricity or water. By 2050 our homes will be more environmentally friendly. We will use clean energy, and we will recycle our water. There will be more people in the world and our houses will be smaller and many will be underground. We will have robots to help clean, cook and do the shopping. By 2050 there will be too many people on the earth and over 100 million people will live on the Moon and other planets. And the best news may be that we won't die! We will put our brains onto computers and live forever. The computers in the future won't look like machines. They'll look like humans.
