When Tony and Maureen arrived in Australia，people asked many questions about their trip. To answer these questions，Wheeler wrote a guidebook called Across Asia on the Cheap . The book told people about different countries' weather，customs(风俗），and places to see. But unlike travel guides in the 1970s，Wheeler’s book also talked about places most tourists did not go.

You are alone! Is it from a ghost? No, this isn’t a ghost kitchen—it’s the kitchen of the future. The fridge of the smart kitchen has a scanner. It looks at the foods in the fridge. It will order more milk from the store when your milk has gone bad or there is no more in the fridge. The gloves will test the temperature of everything they touch and say, “Need to cook longer” or “Hot and ready to eat”. Even the knives and spoons will speak. For example, if your food is bad, the knives and spoons will tell you not to eat it.
The future kitchen may look wonderful, but it’s not cheap. The multimedia fridge costs about 8,000 dollars.
Q: Would you like such a kitchen at home ? Why or why not?

I was very lonely, and afraid to make friends with anyone.Every time I heard the other students talking and laughing, I felt my heart break. I couldn't talk with anyone about my problems.
Then one day, my classmates talked happily with their friends, but I sat at my desk unhappily as usual. At that moment, a boy entered the classroom. I didn't know who he was. He passed me and then turned back.He looked at me, with a smile.
Suddenly, I felt the touch of something bright and friendly. It made me feel happy, lively and warm. That smile changed my life. I started to talk with other students and made friends. Day by day, I became closer to everyone in my class. The boy with the lucky smile has become my best friend now.One day I asked him why he smiled, but he couldn't remember smiling at me!
