Life in the 21st century will be different from life in the 20th century, because many changes will take place in the new century, but what will the changes be?
The population is growing fast. There will be more and more people in the world and most of them will live longer. Computers will be much smaller and more useful, and there will be at least one in every home. And computer studies will be one of the important subjects in school.

There will be changes in our food, too. Moe land will be used for building new towns and houses. There will be less room for cows and sheep, so meat will be more expensive. Maybe no one will eat it every day, instead they eat more vegetables and fruit. Maybe people will be healthier.
Worker in the future will be different, too. Dangerous and hard work will be done by robots. Because of this, many people will not have enough work to do. This will be a problem.

What Is Your Hobby
A
My hobby is collecting stones. I started collecting them when I was eight. We lived in a town by the sea, and I found lots of different stones on the beach.
I clean and polish（磨光，擦亮） them, and then I find out what kind of stones they are. I’ve got lots of books about geology（地质学）. I display the stones on shelves, each a label saying what kind of stone it is, and when and where I found it. Altogether, I’ve got 250 stones in my collection.
It’s a good hobby because you don’t have to spend money. You only need to buy the books and ask someone to build some shelves!
B
In my spare time, I paint designs on T-shirts. I got the idea two years ago for my brother’s birthday present. The shop wanted ￡20 for a special design on a T-shirt. I bought a white cotton T-shirt for ￡6 and some paints, and I painted a lion on the front. My brother loved it!
Painting T-shirts is great fun. You needn’t be a great artist, you can just paint shapes and lines. The T-shirts are the most expensive part of my hobby. You have to use special fabric（织物，组织） paints—but they last a long time, so they’re not really expensive—and you need to buy good quality brushes.
I love my hobby because you can make T-shirts that no one else has got. I give a lot of them away as presents to my family and friends. Sometimes, I sell them. Since I started, I’ve made about 60 T-shirts and each one is different.
Read the passage and make notes for Letter A and Letter B.

| hobby | collecting stones | |
| when started | ||
| you need to/have to | ||
| you needn’t/don’t have to |
