Scientists think that there has been life on the Earth for hundreds of millions of years.
However, we have not found life on any other planet yet.
The Earth is a planet and it goes around the Sun. Seven other planets also go around the Sun. None of them has an environment like that of the Earth, so scientists think there may be no life on them. The Sun and its planets are called the solar system (太阳系), and our solar system is a small part of a much larger group of stars and planets, called the Galaxy or the Milky Way. There are many, many stars in the Galaxy, and our Sun is only one of them.
Scientists have also discovered many other galaxies in the universe (宇宙). They are very
far away and their light has to travel for many years to reach us. So how large is the universe? It is impossible to imagine.
Scientists have sent spaceships to the planet Mars to take photos. They have even sent spaceships to travel outside the solar system. However, no spaceship has travelled far enough to reach other stars in our Galaxy.
Scientists have always asked the questions: with so many stars in the universe, are we alone, or is there life out there in space? Have there been visitors to the Earth from other planets? Why has no one communicated with us? We do not know the answers yet.

Let’s suppose it is a common day of 2060. Of course, things have changed and life is very different.
Trips to the Moon are being made every day. Taking a holiday on the Moon today is as easy as taking a holiday in Europe in 2016. At a number of scenic spots (风景胜地) on the Moon, many hotels have been built. In order that everyone can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the Moon, every room has at least one picture window. Everything imaginable is provided for entertainment of the young and old.
What are people eating now? People are still eating food. But many foods now come in pill form, and the food that goes into the pill comes mainly from green plants. Farming, of course, is very highly developed. Very few people have to work on the farm. It is possible to run the farm by just using a few computers.
People are now largely vegetarians (素食者), and they eat only bread, vegetables, fruit and
so on and they don’t eat meat or fish. You see, as the number of people increases, the number of animals decreases. So people have to be vegetarians. We are healthier both in our bodies and in our minds, and we know how to deal with all kinds of illnesses. No one has to be ill any more.
