　　Matt Mason has seen the future—and it’s fun．Mason likes thinking about how machines can make our lives easier by doing the work we hate, such as cleaning．He shows a hard floor cleaning system (系統(tǒng)) that’s built into the wall： it will blow dirt to a part of the room where it will be collected by a vacuum (吸塵器) ．Then the system will drop some cleaner on the floor and an arm will mop (用拖把擦) it up．“This may trouble you,” says Kara, an expert in Mason’s company．“But you can program it to come on at 3 a ．m, and it will just wet － mop the floor for you．”

　　When it comes to the kitchen, Bruce Beihoff, another expert at Whirlpool, is sure that in a few years, robots will be doing most of the boring work, freeing us to relax．“More than just fun, future kitchens will be environmentally friendly,” he says．“A new system will be built in the house which can recycle energy (能量) lost from your kitchen to make the whole home warm．”

　　“The fridge will be the center of the home,” says Daniel Lee, a market expert．The fridge will have a touch screen (觸摸屏幕) where you can watch TV, surf the Internet, check your e－mail, keep a shopping list and order vegetables．“Your fridge is the first place you go in the morning and the last place at night,” says Lee．

　　Ever wonder why a 1.9－meter man and a 1.6－meter woman have to cook meals on counters (工作臺(tái)) of the same height．“The height was decided over 50 years ago, according to the height of ordinary women,” says Jane Langmuir, an expert of cooking machines．“But times have changed．We have made a new counter where you press a button and it moves to whatever height you want．” At the same time, Ted Selker at MIT’s Counter lab has made the Dishmaker which lets you make dishes and bowls out of plastics at home．After each meal, the dishes are changed straight back into plastics．

　　The human brain weighs about 1.4 kilograms, but it can, hold much more information than most computers．However, there is another difference between humans and computers．Computers don't forget information they are given, but humans often do．No one remembers everything, and luckily we don't usually have to．But everyone can improve their memory if they want to．Here are some suggestions．

　　◆Try to use new informati6n immediately．For example, if you meet someone who says "Hi! I'm Carlos, " don't just say "Hello．" Repeat the person's name．Say" ________ "

　　◆Break a big number into smaller parts．For example, it's hard to memorize(記憶)109244153．But if you break it into three parts-109/244/153-it becomes easier．

　　◆Write out what you need to remember ever and over again．This will help you keep it in mind longer, especially for memorizing formulas(公式)or facts．

　　◆Always review information．If you bring what you've learned back to your mind, they become easier to remember．For example, before you go to sleep, it's a good idea to review the new things you learned that clay．

　　◆Discuss with a friend．It is always easier to remember things through discussions．You can have a discussion about what's right and what's wrong, and it will lead to the right answer．

　　◆Never tell yourself that you have a bad memory．You can always do something to help improve your memory．And everyone's memory gets better if they use it often enough．

　　All of the suggestions are helpful．If you follow them, you are certain to improve your memory．
