Families have a great-great future. Twenty years ago, the typical extended family was 'wide'. It usually consisted of two or three generations, with many children in each 'nuclear family'. People had lots of aunts and uncles but often didn't know their grandparents. However, according to a new study by the British research group Mintel, the family is changing shape. Here are some of their predictions:
1. Most children will know their great-grandparents (and even great-great-grandparents) because people are living longer.
2. Very few children will have brothers or sisters, and it will be common to be an only child. As a result, future generations will not have many cousins either.
3. Many people will grow up isolated from other children and young adults. This will make them more selfish and introverted.
4. More couples will divorce and re-marry, some more than once. They may have children with their new partners, so many children will have a stepmother or stepfather and half-brothers or sisters.
5. There will be more single-parent families.

Surely you can't see Egypt in only a few days.''My master wants to travel around the world in eighty days...' he said, looking at the detective's confused face.'I know, it's complete madness.''Well, your master is...an unusual man, but I imagine he must be very rich to try to do a journey like that in such a short time.''To tell you the truth, he has the money he needs.But...
?''Yes, we are.Sorry, not to introduce myself.My name's Jean Passepartout.I'm sure we'll see each other again.' Passepartout touched his hat and waved goodbye.His conversation with Passepartout made Inspector Fix feel even more certain that Phileas Fogg was the thief.'I must stop him,' he thought.
