The CN Tower is about 553 meters high. It is the world's highest tower. You can stand on a glass floor. Do you think it may break If you think so, you are wrong, because the glass is very strong. If you look down from the CN Tower, you will see a large stadium, the Skydome (天虹体育馆). The Skydome has a special roof. The roof can open and close. So don't worry about the rain when you are watching a match there.

Would you like to live in a city where buildings turn the lights off for you, and self-driving cars will find the nearest parking space themselves Although it might sound a little far from you, living in a "smart" city like this could happen sooner than you think.
Great changes have taken place in towns that we have lived in for centuries, while completely new cities are being built. One such place is the city of Songdo. Every home there will have a "telepresence system (远程遥控系统)"—allowing users to control the heating and locks, take part in video meetings, and receive education, healthcare and government services. Around the city, escalators (自动扶梯) will only move when someone is on them, and offices and schools will all be connected to the system.
The great mind behind Songdo is from the company Cisco. In fact, technology companies around the world such as IBM, Siemens and Microsoft are already in the business.
About 75% of the world's population will live in cities by 2050, so cities will need to be more modern to deal with the coming problems. "Making cities smarter is one way out. and I think this will in turn make cities greener," said Dan Hill, head of a research company.

Copenhagen is a city full of fairy tales (童话故事). If you want to explore it, you have to spend a long time and walk slower to enjoy yourself. Copenhagen was the first city to have a street for walkers only. The city has less traffic noise and pollution than any other European capital.

It was difficult for the government to make the decision. Then in 1911, the government chose a place to build the new capital. It was between Sydney and Melbourne, the two largest cities. In 1927, the city was set up. It became the capital and was named Canberra. "Canberra" means "a place for friends to get together".

We know that reading is good for children and for adults as well. Now a new study suggests that just being around books has its benefits—even if you don't read them a lot. A team of researchers in Australia finds that growing up in a home with a sizable library improves literacy, number sense and even technological knowledge in later life.
The researchers were interested in what is called the "Radiation Effect". The "Radiation Effect" is a situation where children grow up around books, even though they don't read them as much as their parents would like them to. But somehow books benefit them.
Joanna Sikora, a sociologist at the Australian National University, and her colleagues studied data collected between 2011 and 2015. The survey tested more than 160,000 adults from 31 different societies, and it included a question about how many books testers had in their homes during adolescence (青春期).
"We found that people who grew up around books had better literacy, numeracy and digital problem solving skills than people who had fewer books growing up but had similar education levels, similar jobs and even similar adult habits." In fact, teens who only made it through high school but were raised in a bookish environment were as successful in adulthood as college graduates who grew up in a house lacking books.
"So if we grow up in a house or in a home where parents enjoy books, where books are given as birthday presents and cherished and valued, this is something that becomes a part of our identity and gives us this lifelong influence to improve our reading and writing ability," said Sikora.
So keep those shelves filled with books. Your kids will not only be grateful, but they'll be more likely to be able to spell "grateful" correctly as well.
(1) Which is the benefit for children growing up around books
A．They will work with numbers well.
B．They will have a big library at home.
C．They will fall in love with literature.
D．They will form the habit of reading a lot.
(2) The "Radiation Effect" might work for _____.
A．a girl who doesn't read books
B．a boy who receives higher education
C．a girl who visits bookstores a lot
D．a boy who grows up without books
(3) What do we know from Paragraph 4
A．College graduates raised without books are surely not successful.
B．Teens, after graduating from high schools, can find better jobs.
C．People raised in a bookish environment can solve real-life problems easily.
D．Children growing up around books can be successful in adulthood.
(4) What are parents advised to do
A．To have a big collection of books.
B．To keep shelves filled with dictionaries.
C．To enjoy writing books for children.
D．To make kids spell "grateful" correctly.
