Dear George,

It’s great to hear from you. Thanks for the birthday card!

You asked if I have been thinking a lot about the future now that I’m 17. The answer is yes! Things change so quickly, don’t they? I mean, in just a year’s time, I     1    (be) an adult. And this time next year, I     2     (take) my final school exams. Hopefully I     3     (pass) them! Then, in a couple of years’ time, I     4     (study) at university. It seems like no time at all! I     5     (choose) law, I think. After graduation, I     6     (look) for a job related to law. In the long term, I hope that 20 years from today, I     7    (work) as a judge. Let’s see how things go.

What are you hoping to do in the future? Tell me about your plans.

Kind regards,

Diana

In 3000, medical technology will be     2    (good) than ever. When you get up in the morning and look into the mirror, your face will be beautiful and young-looking.

Besides, “smart clothes” will contain special particles (粒子),     4     will be much smaller than the cells in your body. They can     5    (design) to change your clothes’ color or pattern. When you say to your shirt, “Turn red”, it will change from blue     6     red.

There will also be a great change in your house. If you get into the kitchen, you     7    (find) a special food machine that will tell you what your body needs and help you eat     8    (healthy).

In 3000, cars will drive     9    (they). You can just tell your “smart car” where to go. On the way, it will be possible     10    (change) the color of cars at the flick of a switch.

Such “smart technology” will be all around you, and let’s look forward to it.

Imagine having everything you need: health-centers, stores, parks — just a few     1    (step) from home. It could make you healthier and build stronger connections between you and your neighbors.

This is the idea behind the 15-minute city. Here, people can get all the services they need within 15 minutes of home, either on foot     2    by bike. This model is being developed in cities around the world, from Paris to Portland. Carlos Moreno is a scientific     3    (direct) at France’s IAE Paris Sorbonne Business School. He is also a key theorist(理论家)behind the 15-minute-city plan for Paris. “My idea is to create a livable city     4     can increase the quality of life,” Moreno says.

15 minutes’ cities were inspire by the need to     5    (fight) climate(气候) change. In a 15-minute city, the focus is on     6    (build) more sidewalks and bike lanes. Moreno says walking or biking across the city     7    (be) a good way to greatly reduce CO₂ emissions (排放物).

Joe Zehnder, chief planner for the city of Portland, Oregon, is developing “20-minute neighborhoods.” “Having stores close     8     home gives people more chances to choose healthy foods,” Zehnder says.

As a neighborhood becomes more convenient,housing costs can increase. This     9     (certain) leaves a lot of people out. Zehnder says his approach is “to try to create more housing and more types of housing, so that families in     10     (difference) economic situations have an opportunity to live there.”
