【推荐1】Shenzhen plans to carry out the smart parking platform (智慧停车云平台) in March, 2019. This project is an important part of building the smart city to solve the parking problem.

Shenzhen has 1.42 million parking spaces in commercial parking lots (商业停车场) now. The number of parking lots in Shenzhen has increased by 2.6 times from 2008 to 2018. However, it is far from enough because Shenzhen still needs more than 3 million parking spaces in total.

By building an intelligent parking platform, the city will make better use of the parking resources than before. The smart parking platform will provide information and support for car parking and traffic planning through parking data (数据).

In the future, people will be able to use mobile phones to search the parking information in different areas. Then people can drive directly to the parking lots through booking in advance, navigation (导航) and other services. The smart parking platform is so large that it makes all the online parking systems together. It provides different kinds of services for drivers. Car parking will be much easier than before. It helps to save time and brings lots of convenience to drivers.

According to the plan, the first part of the project needs more than 40 million yuan (US$5.9 million). It lasts until the end of 2022. Moreover, the city will spend 25 million yuan setting up the platform and completing the main body of the platform this year.

【推荐3】Where did these numbers come from?

【推荐1】Do you know when restaurants were invented? The first restaurant were invented thousands of years ago. However, they were very different from restaurants today.

The first restaurants were in ancient Greece and ancient Rome. These restaurants served food in large stone bowls, people didn’t order food from a menu. Everyone used to share the food from big bowls. People believe that these places were very popular because most homes in ancient Greece and Rome did not have kitchens. Also, people didn’t have to store food at home if they ate their meals at these restaurants.

Later, restaurant began to open in China. In the early 1100s, more than one million people lived in the city of Hangzhou, China. It was a very busy city, and people had money. All of these people had to eat. Smart cooks started cooking and selling food along the Imperial Way, a very big street in the city. Unlike in ancient Greece and Rome, people in China could choose food from a menu. They didn’t have to eat the same food as everyone else.

For the next several centuries, there were restaurants all over the world. People could buy food on the street or at inns­­ small hotels. Then in the middle of the 1700s, restaurants started opening in Paris. These restaurants were more similar to restaurants we know today. There was a bigger variety of food, and eating in these restaurants was a more enjoyable experience. In the 19th century, trains made travel much faster and simpler. In the end, this kind of restaurant began to appear all over Europe and in other parts of the world.

Now, restaurants are everywhere. You can buy a variety of different kinds of food. You can have food sent to your door. But remember it wasn’t always like that.

【推荐3】In order to tell you what I believe, I must bring up something from my personal history.

The turning point of my life was my decision to give up my business job and study music. My parents, although sharing my love of music, didn’t think it was a good choice that I took up music as a job. Considering my family background, this was understandable. My grandfather had taught music for nearly forty years at Spring Hill College in Mobile, and though he was much loved by his students. he didn't earn (挣钱) enough to provide for his large family. As a result of this example in the family, my parents strongly asked me to go to the college instead of a conservatory (音乐学院) of music although I loved my violin and spent most of my spare time practicing.

Before my graduation from Columbia, the family ran into some money problems and I felt it was my duty to leave college and take a job. That was why I took a business job, which I always think of as the wasted years. I went into it for money, for being able to help the family. Money is all I got out of it. It was not enough. I felt that life was passing me by.

My wish was to save enough to quit (退出) and then go to Europe to study music. I continued to make money, and finally, bit by bit, I earned enough to make myself able to go abroad. The family got out of the trouble and ________. I felt like a free man and sailed for Europe. I stayed for four years, worked harder than ever and enjoyed every minute of it.

“Enjoyed” is too soft a word. I walked on air. I can enjoy my own life. When I broke away from the business world. It was against the advice of my friends and family. They think that success is money, so the thought of giving up a good salary (薪水) for happiness seems foolish. But if I had stayed in business, I do not believe I would have made a success of living. I would have given up all those inner satisfactions, which money can never buy.
