Life in the future will be different from life today. Between then and now many changes will happen. But what will the changes be?

The population is growing fast. There will be many people in the world and most of them will live longer than people live now.

 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 schools then. People will work fewer hours than they do now and they will have more free time for sports,watching TV and traveling. Traveling will be much cheaper and easier. And many more people will go to other countries for holidays.

 There will be changes in our food,too. More land will be used for building new towns and houses for all the people. Then 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 will eat more fruits and vegetables. Maybe people will be healthier. Work in the future will be different,too. Robots will do dangerous and hard work. Because of this,many people will not have enough work to do. This will be a problem.

In one way of thinking. failure is part of life. In  31 way, failure may be a way towards success. The “Spider-story” is often  32 .Robert Bruce , leader of the Scots in the 13 th century, was hiding in a cave from the English. He watched a spider  33 a web. The spider tried to reach across a rough 34 in the rock. He tried six times. On the  35 time he made it and went on to make his web. Bruce is said to have been encouraged by this and to have gone on to  36 the English . Edison , the inventor of the light bulb, made 37  models that failed before he found the right way to make one. Once he was asked   38 he kept on trying to make a new type of battery when he had failed so often, he replied, “Failure? I have  39  failure. Now I know 50,000 ways it won't   40 ”.

So what? First,always think about your failure. What caused  41 ?Were conditions right? Were you in top from yourself? What can you change? So things will go   42  next time.

Second, is the goal you're trying to reach the right one? Try to do some   43  about what your real goals may be. Think about this question. “If I do succeed in this, where will it get me?" This may help you prevent failure in things you shouldn't be doing any way.

The third thing to keep in  44 about failure is that it's a part of life. Learn to “l(fā)ive with yourself" even though you may have  45
