What will man be like in the future—in 5，000 or even 50，000 years from now? We can only make guesses，of course，but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today，for man is slowly changing all the time.

Let us take an obvious example.Man，even five hundred years ago，was shorter than he is today.Now，on average，men are about three inches taller.Five hundred years is relatively a short period of time，so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller.Again，in the modern world we use our brains a great deal.Even so，we still make use of only about 20% of the brain's capacity.As time goes on，however，we shall have to use our brains more and more，and eventually we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring about a physical change to the head，in particular，the forehead will grow larger.

Nowadays our eyes are in constant use.In fact，we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses.But over a very long period of time it is likely that man's eyes will grow stronger.

On the other hand，we tend to make less use of our arms and legs.These，as a result，are likely to grow weaker.At the same time，however，our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life.

But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer.In the future，then，both sexes are likely to be bald.

Perhaps all these give the impression that in the future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! This may well be true.All the same，in spite of all these changes，future man will still have a lot in common with us.He will still be a human being，with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.

These are some ideas that some people came up with about what the life will be like in the year 2500.

We will have established a base on the moon.School kids can take field trips to the moon weekly.We will have found cures(疗法) for AIDS and cancer.The war will have ended and peace flows freely through the land.Kids will learn more and be smarter than ever before! History will be the main subject at school.Cafeteria (自助餐厅)food will be delicious！You just walk up to a machine，stick out your tongue，and it will scan your taste buds (味蕾) to see what you want to eat.

—Kristen

Here I am in the wonderful year of 2500 and life is so easy. I work in a pet store and it is so hard！I have to wake up at midnight every day and fly my car to the store.It takes so long to get there.It takes me 20 seconds to get to the store in Mississippi from my home in Florida! At work，I have to push 5 buttons and then I go home.It takes 2 seconds and that is like forever.

—Morgan

In the year 2500，I think we will have invented cars that run on things we don't need like garbage.Tail gas will smell like whatever you like such as chocolate.I also predict that buildings will be able to go into a different dimension (维) so your car won't hit them.The cars in 2500 don't fly，for we haven't got that technology yet，but they can hover (盘旋) up to seven feet.These cars are made for speed！

—Carly

Instead of cars，we may have hovering devices that float around.We could also have electric cars instead of gas-powered cars.Food might be more healthy.What I believe is that the environment will change the most.The environmental changes will also determine many other changes.If more people try to help the environment，then perhaps in 2500 we will have more forests and wildlife.If people won't help the environment，then we will have no forests and little wildlife left.

—Roberta
