　　①早上7点你醒了,妻子还在睡觉.你赶紧起床,因为9点钟在天津有一个重要会议.

　　②你让机器人去准备早饭,你自己去冲了个澡.冲完澡,早饭已做好了.你吃着饭,觉得还是妻子做得好吃.

　　③你走出别墅,开出办公型上海牌轿车,定好目的地和到达时间就出发了.时速180公里,公路很畅通.

　　④开完会,你觉得很累.你步出会议室,呼吸着新鲜的空气.花儿香,鸟儿唱,一派美景.

　　⑤你的思想返回到60年前：政府忙于发展经济,很少关心环境污染.但如今呢,一切都变了,工厂迁到地下,烟囱没有了.

　　⑥下午,你飞往兰州去会见负责太空移民中心的TomPeterson先生.你一下飞机就走进漂亮雅致的大会客室.

　　⑦汤姆说,如果你和妻子通过体检,就可以迁往月球.你把消息通过可视电话告知妻子,她高兴极了.她说等你回家吃她亲手做的可口的晚饭呢.
