　　I still cannot believe that I am taking up② this prize that I won last year.I have to remind myself constantly③ that I am really in AD 3008. Worried about the journey④， I was unsettled⑤ for the first few days. As a result, I suffered from⑥ "time lag". This is similar to⑦ the "jet lag⑧" you get from flying⑨， but it seems⑩ you keep getting flashbacks⑪ from your previous⑫ time period.So I was very nervous and uncertain⑬ at first.However, my friend and guide⑭， Wang Ping, was very understanding⑮ and gave me some green tablets⑯ which helped a lot.Well­known for their expertise⑰， his parents' company, called "Future Tours"⑱， transported me safely into the future in a time capsule⑲.
