Most children by the age of 8 or 9 can only remember 35% of their e___39___ from under the age of 3 according to the new studies.

The scientists say this is because at around this age the way we form(形成)memories begins to change.

Have you ever imagined what life will be like in 2060? An international group of forty scientists have made some surprising predictions. They said that in the next forty years, our lives would change beyond our wildest dreams.

Firstly, humans can grow body parts themselves. Dr. Ellen Heber-Katz is one of the forty scientists. He says, “People will think it common that sick organs ( 器官 ) can be repaired. It’s just like the way we fix a car.” Damaged parts will be taken away. Scientists could use human cells ( 细胞 ) to grow new organs. New technologies like this will also help people to live longer. Within forty years, most people will be able to live up to one hundred years.

Secondly, the scientists have predicted that a machine will be invented to “read” the minds of animals. In 2060, we will be able to “talk” to animals. Scientists say that humans may first “talk” with mammals ( 哺乳动物 ) and then other vertebrates ( 脊椎动物 ) such as fish.

Our houses might also change beyond our imagination. Dr. Susan Greenfield predicts that when you enter the living room, sensors ( 传感器 ) will know you. They will turn on the lights. If you talk to the lights, they will change to the color of your choice.

But what would be the biggest breakthrough ( 突破 ) over the next forty years? A number of scientists believe it would be the discovery of aliens. NASA scientist Chris Mckay says, “We may find aliens in space and talk with them.” He believes marks of alien life may even be found here on Earth.

Does life in 2060 sound cool to you? Let’s wait and see what will really happen then!
