                        An E-mail from the Future

Spacemail: Liqiang299A@GreatAdventureSpaceStation.com      15/11/3008(Earthtime)

Dear Mum and Dad,

I still cannot believe that I am taking up this prize that I won last year. I have to remind myself constantly that I am really in AD3008. Worried about the journey, I was unsettled for the first few days. As a result, I suffered from “time lag”. This is similar to the “jet lag” you get from flying, but it seems you keep getting flashbacks from your previous time period. So I was very nervous and uncertain at first. However, my friend and guide Wang Ping was very understanding and gave me some green tablets which helped a lot. Well-known for their expertise , his parents company, called “Future Tours”, transported me safely into the future in a time capsule.

    I can still remember the moment when the space stewardess called us all to the capsule and we climbed in through a small opening. The seats were comfortable and after a calming drink, we felt sleepy and closed our eyes. The capsule began swinging gently sideways as we lay relaxed and dreaming. A few minutes later , the journey was completed and we had arrived. I was still on the earth but one thousand years in the future. What would I find?

At first, my new surroundings were difficult to tolerate. The air seemed thin as though its combination of gases had little oxygen left. Hit by a lack of fresh air, my head ached. Just as I tried to make the necessary adjustment to the new situation, Wang Ping appeared. “Put on this mask,” he advised. “It will make you feel much better.” He handed it to me and immediately hurried me through to a small room nearby for a rest. I felt better in no time. Soon I was back on my feet again and followed him to collect a hovering carriage driven by computer. There carriages float above the ground and by bending or pressing down in your seat, you can move swiftly. Wang Ping fastened my safety belt and showed me how to use it. Soon I could fly as fast as him.

Arriving at a strange-looking house, he showed me into a large, bright clean room. It had a green wall, a brown floor and soft lighting. Suddenly the wall moved----it was made of trees! I found later that their leaves provided the room with much—needed oxygen. Then Wang Ping flashed a switch on a computer screen, and a table and some chairs rose from under the floor as if by magic. “ Why not sit down and eat a little?” he said. “You may find this difficult as it is your first time travel trip. Just relax, since there is nothing planned on the timetable today.” Tomorrow you’ll be ready for some visits.” Having said this, he spread some food on the table, and produced a bed from the floor. After he left, I had a brief meal and a hot bath. Exhausted, I slid into bed and fell fast asleep.

More news later from your loving son,

亲爱的爸爸妈妈：我现在仍然不能相信我是在接受去年获得的这个奖励。我得不断提醒自己，我真的已经进入到3008年了。因为担心这次旅行，头几天我心里总是不踏实，结果得了时间滞后症。这就与你乘坐飞机会产生时差反应相似，所不同的是，在你脑子里似乎会不断闪现以前的时光。因此，我一开始就感到神经过敏和心神不定。但是我的朋友兼导游王平很细心体贴，给了我几粒绿色药片，倒是挺起作用的。他父母的公司叫做“未来之旅”，以其技术高超而闻名。他们把我装在一个时间舱里，平安地把我送入了未来。

我仍旧记得我们被太空服务员一起叫到时间舱的情景，我们爬上去进入一个小门。座位是很舒适的，喝了点镇静剂之后，我们的眼睛就闭上了，感到昏昏欲睡似的。时间舱在轻轻左右摇晃，我们放松地躺在那里做梦。几分钟以后，旅行结束，我们就到了。我仍然在地球上，但是进入到了未来的一千年。我们会看到什么呢？

一开始，新的环境让我很难受。空气似乎很稀薄，好像在混合的气体中剩下的氧气很少。由于缺乏新鲜空气，我感到头痛。正当我想努力调整适应新环境时，王平出现了。他告诉我，“把这个面罩戴上。它会使你感觉好得多。”他把面罩递给我，敦促我马上走进附近的一个小房间，叫我休息。我立刻就感到舒服些了。没过多久，我就再次站立起来，跟着他去领取了一台由电脑驱动的气垫车。这些气垫车是在地面上方漂浮着的。只要在座椅上用力打弯或压下操纵杆，你就可以迅速地移动。王平系紧了我的安全带，教我怎样使用它。不久，我就可以飞得跟王平一样快了。

不一会儿，我们到了一幢看上去很奇怪的房子里，他把我带到一个明亮而又洁净的大房间。墙是绿色的，地板是棕色的，灯光很柔和。突然墙壁移动了——原来是树形成的！后来我才发现，就是这些树的叶子为这栋房屋提供了急需的氧气。然后王平在电脑荧屏上闪了一下开关，于是一张桌子和几把椅子就像变魔术那样从地板上面升了起来。“怎么不坐下来吃些东西呢？”他说道，“你第一次做这样的时间旅行，可能会感到有些困难。你可以好好休息一下。今天没有任何出行计划。明天你要准备参观几个地方。”说完这些，他把食物摆在桌子上，又从地板下取出一张床来。他离开后，我简单吃了饭，洗了个热水澡。实在累坏了，我溜上床很快就睡着了。

更多的情况以后再向您回报。

您的儿子
