Would you like to live in a city where buildings turn off the lights for you, and self-driving cars will find the nearest parking space themselves? Although it might sound a little far from you, living in a "smart" city like this could happen sooner than you think. 

The towns that we have lived in for centuries have changed a lot, while completely new cities are being built. One such place is the city of Songdo. In every home there will be a "telepresence" system(远程遥控系统)—allowing users to control the heating(暖气)and locks, take part in video meetings, and receive education, healthcare and government services. Around the city, escalators(自动扶梯)will only move when someone is on them, and offices and schools will all be connected to the system. 

The great mind behind Songdo is from the company Cisco. In fact, technology companies around the world such as IBM, Siemens and Microsoft are already in the business. 

About 75% of the world's population will live in cities by 2050, so cities will need to be more modern to solve the coming problems. "Making cities smarter is one way out, and I think this will in turn make cities greener." said Dan Hill, head of a research company.

 阅读短文, 从每小题所给的四个选项中选出能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案,

I'm Mike. I am a junior high school student. Junior high is different from primary school. These differences help us grow and learn new things. My parents help me a lot during this time.

 In junior high, we have more subjects. This means I need to plan my time well. In primary school, my teacher told me what to do. Now, I have to make my timetable for study. At first, this was not easy for me. However, my parents help me by showing me how to create(创造) a timetable. They teach me to turn big task into small ones, then work on them one after another. It's useful.

 Making new friends is another part of growing up. In junior high, I meet many new people. Sometimes,I feel shy about talking to them. My parents tell me to be brave(勇敢的). They also tell me I can join clubs. Because it's easier for us to make friends with others through clubs.

 The challenges in junior high also teach us important lessons. For example, when I face problems, I must learn to be patient (耐心的) and work hard. My parents tell me that it is OK to make mistakes because I can learn from them.

 Thanks to my parents, I believe I can work out any problems in junior high and grow as a better man.

 阅读下列短文,从下面每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

If you are hiking with a friend who is overweight, you may hear them say that the hills look steeper(更陡峭的) and the distances look farther away than what they really are. Is your friend lazy? Actually, this is just what the world looks like in their eyes.

 Scientists from Colorado State University show that being overweight distorts perception(扭曲知觉). They think distances are farther away than they actually are.

 In one study, scientists asked 66 people of different weights and sizes to say how far away a traffic cone (交通围标) was. The cone was actually 25m away. Those who were about 57kg thought it was just15m from them, but those who weighed about 146kg saw it as being 30m away.

 So far from being crazy. Overweight people simply see the world differently when thinking about exercise. The heavy weight can feel like a load (装载物) to carry.

"If you find yourself out hiking with a heavy backpack, hills are going to seem steeper, distances are going to look farther, a gap across a river are going to look bigger." Jessica Witt from Colorado State University told the Guardian.

 It's this idea that if you have to make more of an effort to climb that hill because you are carrying this heavy backpack, the hill is going to look more challenging.

"You are not seeing that hill as it is. You are seeing the world through your ability to act. You have less ability because you are having to carry this backpack." Witt said.
