Today, around half of the world's population lives in cities. In the future, cities may become more crowded. By 2050,68 per cent of the world's population may live there. What might your life in cities look like in the future?
Scientists said there will be some possible changes in the ways we travel, live, wear and have fun. Some of them are under study. Others are just ideas. Now let's take a look at some cool future transportation.
Supersonic airplanes(超音速飞机)
Supersonic airplanes came out in the 1960s. But they were too noisy to use. Now, US Company Boom is working on making better airplanes of this kind. They can fly higher than usual airplanes. This makes the flight more stable(平稳的). Also, they will be quieter and faster. Now it takes you more than 11 hours to fly from Beijing to Seattle. In the future, it will be just 5 hours!
Flying cars
Many companies are working on flying cars. Japan's SkyDrive is one of them. Its car has only two seats for the driver and the passenger. It runs on electricity and can fly about 10kilometres per charge(充电). It helps to cut traffic jams.
Underwater highways
Besides"flying" in the air, we might also move around underwater. These highways are underwater tubes(管道). People sit in pods(吊舱) and travel between the UK and countries in Northern Europe in less than an hour. Usually, it takes around two hours.

According to research, more than 130 billion pounds of uneaten food go to waste in Laura's country each year. That is about 30% of the yearly food supply. It is a sad fact,especially when you consider how many families and homeless people are in hunger.
When Laura saw her school dining hall throw away food that was not eaten at all every day, she came up with an idea. She started a project to help her school dining hall to give away uneaten food to homeless shelters (庇护所) in her community. Over the past three years, the project has spread to other schools and some fast food restaurants throughout the city. The project is called Feed & Find, and has already fed thousands of people in her city.
How does it work? Through an app, Feed & Find matches local homeless shelters with school dining halls and restaurants that have uneaten food to provide. When dining halls or restaurants have uneaten food left, they can use the app to share information about the food.And then a truck driver is sent to pick it up and take it to a shelter.
Pretty cool, right? It's not surprising that people in other cities have got in touch with Laura, hoping that she could have developed similar projects for their communities.
Some people, however, have concerns about the safety of the uneaten food. They think such food may not be clean enough. Still, this project is a clever way to help solve the problem of food waste and it helps those in need.
(1)、What do the numbers in Paragraph 1 tell us?A、Some people are poor. B、Laura's country has a large population. C、Food waste is serious. D、The research is interesting.(2)、What is Feed & Find?A、It's an app that helps find restaurants. B、It's a project that helps deal with waste food. C、It's a house for homeless people. D、It's a company which tries to find out food waste.(3)、Where did Laura's project get food in the beginning?A、From her school dining hall. B、From her family. C、From a fast food restaurant. D、From a homeless shelter.(4)、What does the underlined word"concerns" in the last paragraph mean?A、Feelings B、Secrets. C、Worries. D、Decisions.(5)、What can be the best title for this passage?A、A Dining Guide App B、A Food Safety Project C、A Driving Service APP D、A Food Sharing Project -

When Leon Martin asked for his parents' advice on how to become a UX designer, they both went silent. "In fact, I had no idea what he was talking about," said Anne, his mother. "I don't know whether he was talking about designing clothes, computer programs or bikes."
Even when her 18-year-old son explained that it was something about"behind the scenes(幕后)" online design, his mother was still a bit lost. "I felt like I had totally failed as a parent," she said. "My job as a parent is to open doors so my children can achieve their potential(潜力), but how can I do that when I don't even understand what their dreams are?"
Anne is not alone. Recent research has found that more than two thirds of parents in England are now facing the problem. When their children express interests in new education and job choices, they may know nothing about them. More than 75% of parents feel it is almost impossible to offer their children good advice in such a fast-changing job market.

"We all know that parents' opinions and suggestions play an important role in shaping and influencing their children's career dreams," she said. "But we usually depend much on our own experiences. And things have changed so much since most of us were at school."

B、More than two thirds of parents know nothing about how to become a UX de-signer. C、It is impossible for a few parents to offer good advice to their children in a fast-changing job market. D、Parents should not try to decide on certain careers for their children.(4)、What does Michelle Rea's survey mainly show?A、Most of the parents in England are facing trouble in accepting new jobs. B、Parents fear their children will refuse to follow their suggestions. C、A lot of parents find it difficult to help their children with their education.

Writers use graphics to get the readers' attention and give them some particular information. Graphics help to understand the given information in a text. And graphics put the information in a particular order so that it's easy to understand when readers take a quick look.
It is not always true that a picture is worth a thousand words. But many things are easier to show and understand through pictures than to tell. Graphics are just the right things that give abundant information without taking much time to read and understand.
The right way to read and understand a graphic is to look at the picture and the words together. In a graphic, only a few words are used to explain what the picture shows you.Sometimes, numbers and percentages are also given to go with the words to explain things.

B、Because he thinks a picture is worth than a thousand words. C、Because he thinks graphics can help writers save a lot of time.

Have you ever eaten at a restaurant that serves Western food? If so, do you remember what the menu looked like? But how are they different?
Most Western restaurant menus do not have as many pictures as Chinese ones do. In some nice Western restaurants, the menus might not have any pictures at all. If you order a burger, the menu might tell you what is the burger made of. The menu can also tell you how the food is cooked.
Western restaurants use many different ways to design their menus and make them more attractive. Menu engineers are people who are really good at designing menus. Their menus can increase sales and influence customers' thoughts. It can even make them believe that the restaurant's food is of higher quality. For example, using description words like"juicy" or"cheesey" can help dishes sell better. Instead of just writing"steak" on the menu, a restaurant might write"sizzling steak". This makes the steak sound more delicious.
Also, it is known that people pay the most attention to the dishes at the top of a page. As you can see, menus are not just simple lists of food!
