I’m living in a busy city. There are too many people and too many cars. Too many people and too many cars cause too crowded traffics. At the same time, the cars give out much smog(烟雾), especially(尤其是) at rush hours(高峰期). The smog pollutes(污染) the city terribly. The problem is becoming more and more serious. We should do something to prevent(阻止) it. First, I think we should have more police officers at the busy crossings. They can stop the traffic jams(阻塞). Second, we should not make more parking lot(停车位) for cars. When people think that it’s easy to park in cities, more people will drive to work and it will make the traffic more crowded. Third, we should make it more expensive for drivers to drive cars to cities. Then more people will leave their cars for their bikes. Fourth, we should encourage people to take a bus to work. Fifth, we should build special ways for bikes so that more people will go to work by bike instead of by bus or in a car. Finally, we should spend more on the public transportation(公共交通). For example, we can build more subway lines. Of course, we can also do many other things to improve our traffic.
1. There are serious pollution problems in the writer’s city.2. We should make fewer parking garages.
3. Some people drive to work because they needn’t spend too much cost(费用) on it.

3 . You must have heard of drug-sniffing dogs (缉毒犬). But how about“drug sniffing squirrels”(松鼠)? Recently, Chongqing police have successfully trained six squirrels to detect drugs. They began their work in early February.
The squirrels have a sharp sense of smell. They can smell food hidden under snow. Being so small,they can search for drugs in the places where dogs may not be able to reach, such as in narrow or high places. The squirrels are trained to use their claws (爪子) to scratch at boxes to tell the police when they find the drugs, according to Chongqing police.
“Our self-developed training system can be used to train different kinds of animals,” Yin Jin, a police dog trainer in Chongqing, said. The key is to develop the animals' conditioned reflex (条件).
First, the animals need to be familiar with (熟悉) the smell of the drug. The trainers can put pieces of cloth with the smell of the drug next to the animals’ food. Next, the animals learn to search for the drug in different situations, such as from a large number of bags or among people walking in crowds. If the animals successfully detect the drug, they are rewarded with snacks and other food. After they are trained for some time, the conditioned reflex will be built and the animals will search for drugs naturally.

9 . To most people in the Netherlands (荷兰), bicycle riding is part of everyday life. It’s their first choice to school and work. In cities like Amsterdam, people take almost 70% of all the trips by bike. Why does cycling become popular in the Netherlands?
In the 1970s, the Dutch government (荷兰政府) began to improve its cycling facilities (设施) because many people wanted a much safer cycling condition for children. To make cycling safer, the Dutch built the widest cycling network in the world. The country marked over 40,000 kilometer lines just for bicycles. They have traffic signs and signal lights for cyclists.
Even when both bikes and cars have to share the same road of little space, you can always see a large board saying “Bike Street. Cars are guests”. It means that riders have priority (优先) over drivers. For example, cars must slow down and let bikes pass first if they run face to face.
Bicycle parking facilities are quite common in the country. The central train station in Groningen, a city in the north eastern part Netherlands, has underground space for parking 10,000 bikes.

10 . What will humans look like in the future? It sounds like a cool question, but the answer may not be that fun.
A team from Toll Free Forwarding, a US company, built a 3D model of what a human might look like in the year 3000. Her name is Mindy. She looks a little bit scary. The company said the model showed how technology (科技) will change human bodies in less than 800 years.
For example, Mindy’s hands look like she is always holding a cellphone. That’s called “text claw”, according to the team. Mindy also has a much wider neck. It’s called “tech neck”. It’s from looking down at the phone for too long. Muscles (肌肉) in our necks need to be stronger to hold our heads.
Mindy also has another eyelid (眼皮). It can protect the eyes from the blue light of the screens. Her skull (头骨) is thicker. It protects the brain from the radiation (辐射) of computers and phones. Technology is so helpful that humans think less. That’s why humans may also have smaller brains in the future.
Will you spend less time on your computer and cellphone after seeing this scary model?
