A book called “Transcend: Nine Steps to Living Well Forever,” discusses how we can extend our life long enough so that scientists in the not-too-distant future (30 years) can reprogram our bodies by using millions of little robots in our blood called “nanobots” to keep us healthy. The author of the book, Ray Kurzweil, a computer scientist, takes 120 pills a day to maintain his health for the next 30 years. He might need them because he is already 60 years old! (by Prof. Simon Smith)

Have you ever thought about subways? They have many names, including the Metro (Washington DC) and the Tube (London). The London Underground is the oldest, opening in 1863. The Paris Metro is very convenient. Every building in the city center is within 500 meters of a station! More people use the subways in Moscow than in any other part of the world, and it is the fastest in the world. Some of the trains go as fast as 120 kilometers per hour. And, of course, Tokyo is famous, too – for the pictures of people pushing other people into the cars so that as many people as possible can fit.（by Prof. Carmella Lieske）
