In the future, experts say that, humans will have stations on the moon and possibly Mars. A new kind of tourism — space travel — is just beginning. Today, there arecompanies, such as Virgin Galactic(维珍银河）, that are already taking reservations for future commercial flights into space.

In time, says the study, space travel companies will need tour guides to take visitors on trips to the moon and beyond. Guides will need experience working with the public. They will also need to know about the planets and other objects in space. If you have these skills and an interest in space travel, being a cosmic tour guide(太空导游) could be the perfect job for you. Just plan to be away from home for long periods of time.

A man loses an arm in a car accident. As occer player has a bad knee. Inthe future, bioengineers will make new body parts for these people, using the person's own cells. Today, scientists are already making some parts, such as ears and skin. In the future, they will make many others. In the future, bioengineers will not only help sick or injured people. They will also help the elderly. People will live longer, and as they age they will need new body parts. Some say that in the future, another group — professional athletes — will use bioengineers the most. Teams will hire bioengineers to make injured players better and the healthy ones stronger and faster. It will be a new type of sports medicine, and possibly the beginning of super athletes.
