Do you forget to turn off the lights and heaters when you go out of a room？In 2040 it will not matter.They will turn themselves off and on again when you return.You will choose the temperature for each room，the lighting and the humidity (湿度)．A sensor (传感器) will detect the presence of a human (and，with luck，ignore the dog) and turn the systems on，and when the humans leave it will turn them off again.
The sensors will work through the central home computer，and they will do much more than just turn the fires and lights on and off for you.They will detect faulty electrical appliances，plugs or switches，isolate them so that they cannot harm anyone，and then warn you that they need repair.They will detect fire and if you are out of the house，the computer will call the fire group.It will also call the police if the sensors detect an intruder (非法闯入者)．This will not be too difficult because the locks on the outside doors will be electronic.You will open them using your personal card—the one you use for shopping—maybe using a number known only to you.
It will be impossible to lose the key，and a housebreaker will have to tamper (摆弄) with the lock or with a window.It is not very difficult to make such tampering send a signal to the computer.
The computer will be more than a fireman policeman servant.It will be an entertainer，and most of your entertainment will come right into your home.It does now，of course，but by 2040 “entertainment” will mean much more.For one thing，you will be able to take part actively，rather than just watching.

Do we want to 8ourselves or do we want to walk on the surface? For some people, many friendships on the surface are 9enough—and that' s all right.

Relax during a job interview
Fewpeople actually like job interviewing. It's nervewracking trying to showyour“best” self to a perfect stranger. That's not easy, but thereare some ways to pull yourself together and feel more confident.
Prepare solid talking points. It's always best to overprepare for possible questions by not only researchingthe company and the person interviewing you, but also by preparing answers andpracticing those responses. Review the skills and experiences requested in thejob announcement and have two to three examples of how you have demonstratedeach one.
Remember：It's a twoway street. This is a conversation, not an interrogation(审问).
Remembering that this is a back and forthdiscussion, whereyou can—and should—ask questions as well as answer them, can help you feel morecomfortable.
Just breathe. Your body will relax a lot. You wantto avoid upper chest breathing, as it tends to just move your stress upward toyour face.
Ifyou go into an interview picking apart your outfit or imperfect responses, you're only hurting your chances of coming off as calm and collected. Turn offyour negative selftalk and then create a different selftalk message, like “I am here to share the best ofmy ability and that is all I can really do.”
Work it out. Putting in some gym time on themorning of your interview can help you get rid of any nervous tension. Exercisehelps calm your nervous system and tends to reduce the intensity of physicalmanifestations(表现形式)of stress such as restlessness.
A．Stop the negative thoughts.
B．Put your idea into practice.
C．When faced with an interviewer, youmay be nervous.
D．Before you walk into your interview，take a few deep breaths.
E．You're trying to prove you're the onefor the job and that you can handle stressful situations.
F．Don't forget that you're not the onlyone being interviewed—you're also interviewing the organization.
G．This will strengthen your answers andallow you to show how your experience is relevant to the job or organizationfor which you're interviewing.
Last Wednesday, about 7,400 American bankers went back to school again. This timethey did not go to learn—they went to teach. 1997，the American Bankers Association hassponsored Teach Children to Save Day. Every April 26, bankers across the USAteach over 1.5 million primary and secondary school students how to handle money.
In the USA, children, especially teenagers, are often big spenders. In 2013, forexample, American teenagers spent $175 billion. This is average of $104per week per teenager. Few teenagers have any savings. They typically spendmoney as fast as they can. Nearly all will continue their (spend) habits whenthey grow up.
It's necessary that children learn proper money management they are stillyoung. The bankers show students how to budget and make smart (decide)about money. They explain how to balance their expenses against their income.They help the students understand their family's shopping and householdexpenses as well. Of course，students(teach) how to invest and save money too.
AsBenjamin Franklin said, “A penny saved is a penny earned.” Moreover, money(save) at interest can increase greatly in value over time. Children, adults, need to understand the value of saving money. This is TeachChildren to Save Day is all about.
