Paula:
The future is determined by the actions of the present day. The responsibility we have for the future begins when we recognize that we ourselves create the future--that the future is not something imposed upon us by fate or other forces beyond our control. We ourselves build the future both through what we do and what we do not do.
Mrs. John:
The future will see more unbelievable things. In the future, people will be able to predict their performance from the strength of the brain's electrical activity. Doctor Kramer has found that the strength of the brain's electrical activity can be measured through the scalp (头皮). Bosses could measure brain activity through the scalp and tell whether a worker is performing well, working hard, or , too tired to do the job properly.
Mary:
In the new century, things around us will be more fascinating. The chemical element in the heart is said to increase your desire for fat, when is stimulated. This means that disturbances of this chemical gelatin can lead to overeating. Doctor Sarah Leibowits presented an academic paper suggesting that the appetite for fat rich food can be controlled through drugs that block the effects of gelatin.
Judy:
In the future our life will change dramatically. It is quite certain that computers will play an important part in our life. You will visit your doctor, and find that he uses a computer screen and visual information about your condition, instead of his text books. Computers in your home will enable you to answer interactive questions about your health and show the alternative results which will affect you if you act in a certain way.
Carrie:
In the future, computers will change the way the doctors diagnose and treat their patients. Al-so doctors will change their traditional notion of medicine. Although pills for tension, heart conditions, being overweight and other life threatening conditions are prescribed by western doctors, most doctors now require patients to focus on healthy way of living by changing diets and doing more exercise as a means to keep fit.

解题思路：保拉：
未来会怎样取决于我们今天的行动。当我们意识到我们自己能够创造未来，我们就承担起对未来的责任——未来并不是命运或是别的我们无法控制的力量强加给我们的。我们自己通过有所为和有所不为来创建未来。
约翰夫人：
将来会发生更多难以置信的事情。在未来，人们将能够根据他们大脑电力活动的强度来预测自己的表现。克莱默博士发现人脑电力活动的强度可以通过头皮来测量。老板可以通过测量头皮得知大脑活动，从而断定一个工人是否表现出色、工作努力或者疲劳过度无法很好地完成任务。
玛丽：
在新世纪里，我们身边会发生更加激动人心的事情。据说心脏的化学物质受到刺激时会激起你对脂肪的欲望。也就是说，对这种化学凝胶的干扰会导致吃得过多的问题。萨拉·李波维兹博士在一篇学术论文中指出，可以通过药物抑制的影响来控制对高脂食物的食欲。
朱蒂：
未来我们的生活会发生显著的改变。毫无疑问，计算机会在我们的生活中发挥重要作用。你去看医生的时候会发现医生不会依靠书本，而是通过电脑屏幕和可视信息做出诊断。你家中的电脑会就你的健康提出互动性的问题，而且能向你展示你的某种行为将产生的结果。
嘉丽：
将来，计算机会改变医生诊治病人的方法。而且医生们会改变他们对药的传统定义。尽管有些西医会开缓解压力，治疗心脏病，抵制肥胖以及医治其他危害病人生命的药方。现在大部分的医生还是要求病人注重健康的生活方式，通过改善饮食和多做运动保持身体健康。 >>>立即刷题
