Local governments are already collecting lots of important data. For example, there are sensors（感測器）that measure noise, pollution and traffic. This is known as "smart city technology". In the future, this data will make our lives much easier, by helping us save energy and keep the city tidy. There might even be smart posts that cull clean the air, or robots that empty rubbish bins when they are full.

Such technologies may be far off in the future, but others are just around the corner: self-driving cars are today being tested all around the world. Experts believe that this technology will change what cities look like. If self-driving taxis can use smart city data to find the best way to take you to your destination（目的地), there will be fewer traffic jams and more space for you to walk or ride a bike. People will probably stop buying cars altogether.

▲ : drones（無人機）are becoming more and more common nowadays. Cheap and fast

drone delivery services are only a few years away, and the sky above our heads will soon be very crowded. Hopefully, smart city technology will help prevent traffic jams in the air. Perhaps, drones will one day be able to transport people around town. Then, you could fly wherever you want to go!

To summarize, the cities of the future will be very different. What kind of city would you like to live in when you grow up?

【1】Why are the sensors mentioned in the second paragraph?

A.To show that cities are becoming much smarter.

B.To explain why there are more people in big cities.

C.To help people in cities live a more exciting life.

D.To invent some new ways of keeping the city tidy.

【2】What is a good result of using self-driving technology?

A.There will be fewer cars in the future.

B.Few people will ride a bike around.

C.People will have better driving skills.

D.All the car factories will go out of business.

【3】Which can be put in ▲ ?

A.But there will be traffic jams in the air

B.New technology will appear in the future

C.Change is not only happening on the ground

D.Technology will surely play a part in our future life

【4】What is the best title for the passage?

A.Transportation in the Future.B.Important Data in Cities.

C.Smart City Technology.D.The Cities of the Future.

"The human brain works slower in old age," said lead scientist Michael Ramscar, "but only because they have stored more information over time."

The findings are based on a series of computer simulations（模擬）of learning and memory. Scientists let the computers read a certain amount of words and learn new things each day. When the computer "reads" only so much, its performance on cognitive（認知）tests is similar to that of a young adult. But if the computer learned the experiences we might have over a lifetime, its performance is similar to that of an older adult.

Often it was slower because increased "experience" had caused the computer's database（數(shù)據(jù)庫）to grow, giving it more data to process-which takes time. This is similar to old people. Imagine a person knows two people's birthdays. Another person knows the birthdays of 2,000 people, but can only match the right person to the right birthday nine times out of 10. Can you say the first person has a better memory than the second person?

The basic idea is that "The larger the library you have in your head, the longer it usually takes to find a particular word." Benedict Carey, a science reporter, wrote in an article about the study.

【1】Why did the writer use a question at the beginning?

A.To attract readers' attention to the topic.

B.To invite the readers to answer the question.

C.To prove that older people have bad memories.

D.To encourage readers to think of their neighbours.

【2】How did the scientists do their research?

A.They interviewed all the old people of their neighbours.

B.They followed the experiences of a group of old people.

C.They asked both young and old people the same questions.

D.They used computers to simulate human learning and memory.

【3】According to the research, why do old people forget other people's names easily?

A.Because they have a very poor memory.

B.Because they are too old to remember things.

C.Because their brains become weaker than before.

D.Because they have too much information in their brains.

【4】What would be the best title for the story?

A.Is it Better to Be Old or YoungB.Human Brain's Processing Ability.

C.Do Old People Have Poor Memories?D.Scientists' New Findings on Brains.

One morning, when Einstein was holding a fishing rod and was about to go fishing with his friends, his father stopped him and said calmly, "Einstein, you're so fond of playing all day that you failed your exam. I'm worried about your future."

"What are you worrying about? Jack and Robert also failed, but don't they still get to go fishing?"

"My boy, you can't think like that," his dad said. "There is a fable（寓言故事）that people tell in our hometown. Listen to it now."

"There were two cats playing on a roof. One cat got caught off guard and fell down the chimney（煙囪）while holding the other cat. When the two cats climbed out of the chimney, one of the cats had soot（煙灰）on his face, while the other cat's face was clean. Seeing the soot-faced cat, the clean cat thought its face must be dirty, so it quickly ran to the riverside and washed its face. The soot-faced cat saw the clean-faced cat and thought its face was also clean, so it just swaggered down the street."

"Einstein, no one can be your `mirror'. You have to think for yourself. If you take your cues from others, you will never learn."

Hearing this, Einstein laid down his fishing rod and returned to his room. He decided to pay more attention to his studies and less attention to what his friends were doing. This allowed him to be successful.

【1】What was Einstein's problem, according to his father?

A.He always failed his final exams then.B.He was not good at maths at an early age.

C.He liked to go fishing with his friends.D.He played with naughty kids too much.

【2】What do we know from the fable?

A.The clean cat didn't wash its face.B.Both cats made the wrong decision.

C.The soot-faced cat washed its face clean.D.The soot-faced cat couldn't be a mirror.

【3】What does the underlined word "swaggered" show?

A.The cat ran out very quickly.B.The cat felt very confident.

C.The cat felt he was just a fool.D.The cat laughed at the other cat.

【4】What lesson did Einstein learn from his father?

A.A friend in need is a friend indeed.

B.There are no shortcuts to success.

C.A genius is one step away from becoming a fool.

D.Don't look to others when deciding how to behave.

—Yes. He is not only a successful businessman but also a great person.
