What picture do you have of the future? Will life in the future be better, worse or the same as now? What do you hope for about the future? Scientists think that life will probably be very different in 2050.

First of all, it seems that people won’t use TV channel(頻道) by 2050. Instead, people will choose a program from a “menu” and a computer will send the program directly(直接地) to the television.

Water will become a very serious problem. We’ll need much more water, but there won’t be enough. Some scientists think that water would be the cause of war(戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)).

Cars will run on new clean energy and they will go very fast. And there won’t be any accidents with the help of computer. On the other hand, space planes will take people around the world in two hours.

Robots will works in the factories instead of people. Many factories have already used robots. Big companies prefer robots---they do not ask for money, and they work for 24 hours a day---

In a word, by 2050, our life will change a lot and our future will be quite different from now.

Do you know Roma people？They were called Gypsies (吉普賽人) by Europeans. Because they thought they came from Egypt (a country in Africa)．About a thousand years ago, the Roma people left their homeland. They are known as nomads because for hundreds of years many of them have lived in large groups that travel from place to place. They have no real homeland.

Today, the Roma are now living all over the world._______________(他們保留了他們的語(yǔ)言和風(fēng)俗) For example, it’s important for Roma to marry other Roma. It's also a custom for parents to choose the person their children will marry. Roma people get married when they are young, sometimes even as young as 14.

Romany is the HYPERLINK "http://www.21cnjy.com/"language of the Roma people, which was written down only recently. Because the Roma are nomadic and have moved all over the world, their language has developed in many different ways. It is sometimes hard for Roma in one part of the world to understand Roma from another part.

Roma music is famous all over the world, because many Roma throughout history have been musicians. Their music has influenced many other kinds of music, like classical and jazz.

Roma don't usually assimilate (同化) into host countries. Over many centuries, governments have forbidden them to marry each other, travel or wear their traditional bright clothes. They have their gold taken away from them—treasures (財(cái)富) from their parents and grandparents. They have been taken as slaves (奴隸),and have been forced to change their names.

But today, the Roma are finding ways to live in peace with others while keeping the treasures of their culture.“There's a will within us to continue to live as a people,”says George Kaslov，whose family arrived in New York from Russia a hundred years ago.“All the other ethnic (種族) groups who came to America assimilate gradually with time going；they lose their customs and language. But not the Roma. We hold out.”

1.Why were Roma people called Gypsies (吉普賽人) by Europeans?

2.把文中括號(hào)部分翻譯成英語(yǔ)。_______________________________________________.

3.把文中劃線部分翻譯成漢語(yǔ).________________________________________________.

4.Do Roma people have no real homeland?________________________

A. Brave Roma Travelers

B. Famous Roma Music
