The Future Life on Mars

Compared with the life we 【小题1】(live) on the earth now, the future life on Mars will be 【小题2】(total) different.

Firstly, without pollution on Mars, people will be able to drink cleaner water 【小题3】 breathe fresher air, so they will be 【小题4】(health). The food on Mars will be different 【小题5】 our food now. People will just take 【小题6】(pill) and drink man-made juice instead of eating bread and meat. Secondly, people will travel back to the earth or to other planets for sightseeing by spaceship. Additionally, there will be no 【小题7】(fix) school and classrooms. Children will just fly to the classroom in the school spaceships. And people won’t work in factories or companies. They can stay at home, 【小题8】(work) with computers. People believe   【小题9】Mars can support life in the future. Nevertheless, 【小题10】 will take some years before these dreams come true.

Nowadays the Internet plays an important role in our daily life. Most of our lives 【小题1】 (record) online. We set up email and online shopping accounts; we download music, films, games and e-books; we post and repost on Sina Weibo and WeChat.

Together, these things make 【小题2】 our “digital legacy (数字遗产)”. What can we do with our legacy when our last day comes?

A US tech company is testing a new digital legacy service. With it, you can pass on your personal data such as 【小题3】 (photo), videos, notes and other information to your friends or family members.

As 【小题4】 matter of fact, there are two types of digital legacy. One is what we buy with money, such as virtual coins and game equipment. As they are worth some money, they can be passed down to 【小题5】 (they) family members. The other kind is things such as social media accounts. Dealing with these 【小题6】 (be) a difficult problem.

Although you may have created your accounts, you don’t 【小题7】 (real) own them — Internet companies do. You only have the right 【小题8】 (use) them. For example, your Taobao account might be closed by the company if you haven’t logged in for more than six months.

Is it possible to get everything 【小题9】 (remove)? The answer may be “Yes”. The European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation went into effect in 2018. According to it, people have a right to remove personal data, 【小题10】 is also known as “the right to be forgotten”.

Midwives bring new life into the world, and these midwifery students at London’s Middlesex University 【小题1】(learn) a new way to do this now. Sarah Chitongo is the educator in this high-tech classroom. Her students use goggles 【小题2】(equip) with augmented reality or AR, so trainee midwives can experience 【小题3】 simulated birth. AR is a digital overlay atop something real. It actually allows you 【小题4】(engage) in that type of learning which is more visual than paper-based one.

The training helps prepare students for all the potential risks they might face during childbirth, including 【小题5】(handle) a situation that is very complex. Educators say students’ exposure 【小题6】 AR makes them more comfortable using it in the classroom. It’s about giving the students the ability to engage with tools and things they have been used to and accustomed to, 【小题7】 within a serious learning space, so that they get a better 【小题8】(understand) of it. Chitongo says it took her nearly a decade of midwifing before she 【小题9】(see) a breech delivery. She says with AR technology in the classroom, students can better manage 【小题10】 happens in the real world and possibly even save a life.
