READING COMPREHENSION

What will the world be like in 50 years?

A We won’t have cell phones in our pockets. Instead we’ll wear computers on our heads, like glasses, and we’ll use them to
get information from the Internet and to talk to other people. Some people already wear them, those Google glasses
everybody’s talking about, so they’re going to become more popular. Carl

B Mandarin has more speakers than any other language, and in 2050 there are going to be a lot more. China is becoming
more and more powerful, and in some elementary schools in the U.S., children are already studying Chinese. If today’s
children are ambitious and want good jobs in the future, they’ll have to learn Mandarin. Rosario

C We’ll have cars that can become airplanes, and it will be normal for people to travel into space. This will make it easier for
us to have vacations wherever we want – in a different country, or even on a different planet! Taxis won’t have any drivers,
but will be like robots and drive themselves! Some companies are designing these taxis now, so they’re going to be
everywhere. Koji

D In 2050, we won’t have enough space for farms to feed the world’s population: 9.7 billion. So people will grow food in tall
buildings that don’t need much space on the ground. Most people will live in cities, so transportation of food to supermarkets
will be cheaper. There are already some farms in tall buildings in our cities, so we’re going to see more of them. Archie

E There will be more people on the planet in 2050, so homes will become smaller. But our homes will do more to help us.
They will control how much energy we use. They will know when our fridges are empty and will order more food. And if we
have a health problem, they will get help for us! New homes today use less water and energy than older homes. So in the
future, the cost of living in our homes is going to be cheaper, too. Olivia
