If you are on the street, you will see all kinds of people passing by. It’s not rare to see people with bad manner. Some throw away rubbish casually. Some spits in public. Some even sit or lie on the ground, completely ignore others’ feelings. People feel really badly about all these behaviors.
To be honesty, smoking in public places makes me really annoying. As it is known to us all, smoking does harm for people’s health. Not only is it bad for the smoker himself, but also it is threat to the public health. It was hoped that an effective way can be found to educate these people to behave well in public.

People have always wanted to know what the future will look like. Then, how can we know what the future will look like?1.The world has changed a lot in the past 150 years, but we humans are driven by the same basic needs as we were 150 years ago, such as food, sleep, the feeling of being appreciated and loved.
2.No. In addition, generally speaking, the inventions for the last 150 years have been a human effort for freedom and communication, to be able to get in control of the time and world. Since there is still much to do in this area, this will be the focus at least for the next 150 years.
But why do we need to predict the future? Predicting the future is important for two reasons: first we need to start to think about what kind of future we’d like for ourselves and to pass on the next generation.3.
How about the virtual worlds? It might be possible in the future to experience the sand between your toes, and hear the waves, just lying in your bed at home.4.So, even if a great invention is there for an affordable price, it'll never take the place of the common experience if it's not real.
5.What we'll see in the next 50 years is the transition from an oil-dependent society to a new society. Here there'll be new medicine, continued exploration of space, challenges in the climate change, and new inventions that make life a little easier.
A. So what will the future look like then?
B. Will this change in the next 150 years?
C. Predicting the future can help us in many ways.
D. However, you'll never get the feeling of being there.
E. Well, to understand the future, you must know the past.
F. However, no matter how real the experience will feel, it doesn't happen for real.
G. Then we need to know what decisions we need to make today that will give the best result in the future.
