[01:28.33]Module 1 Life in the Future
[01:31.70]READING AND VOCABULARY
[01:34.09]2 Read the passage and check your ideas.
[01:38.97]The City of the Future
[01:41.58]What will the city of the future look like?
[01:46.02]No one knows for sure,and making predictions is a risky business.
[01:51.47]But one thing is certain--
[01:54.09]they are going to get bigger before they get smaller.
[01:57.50]In the future,
[01:59.31]care for the environment
[02:00.88]will become very important as earth's natural resources run out.
[02:06.17]We will use lots of recycled materials,
[02:09.52]such as plastic, aluminium,steel, glass,wood and paper,
[02:16.82]and we will waste fewer natural resources.
[02:20.76]We will also have to rely more on alternative energy,
[02:24.85]such as solar and wind power.
[02:27.38]All this seems certain,
[02:29.85]but there are plenty of things about city life in the future
[02:33.35]which are not certain.
[02:35.08]To find out what young people think about the future of urban life,
[02:40.40]a teacher at a university in Texas in the United States
[02:44.72]asked his students to think how they would run a city of 50,000 people
[02:49.74]in the year 2025.
[02:52.54]Here are some of the ideas they had:
[02:55.95]Garbage ships
[02:58.93]To get rid of garbage problems
[03:01.31]the city will load huge spaceships with waste materials
[03:05.12]and send them towards the sun,
[03:07.67]preventing landfill and environmental problems.
[03:12.11]Batman Nets
[03:14.85]Police will arrest criminals by firing nets instead of guns.
[03:19.81]Forget smoking
[03:22.54]No smoking will be allowed within a future city's limits.
[03:26.62]Smoking will be possible only outside cities, and outdoors.
[03:33.08]Forget the malls
[03:35.06]In the future all shopping be done online,
[03:39.38]and catalogues will have voice commands to place orders.
[03:43.45]Telephones for life
[03:46.47]Everyone will be given telephone number at birth that will never change
[03:51.20]no matter where they live.
[03:53.13]Recreation
[03:55.25]All forms of recreation,
[03:57.74]such as cinemas, bowling,softball, concerts and others,
[04:03.50]will be provided free of charge by the city.
[04:06.76]Cars
[04:09.06]All cars will be powered by electricity,solar energy or wind,
[04:14.60]and it will be possible to change the colour of cars
[04:17.84]at the flick of a switch.
[04:20.29]Telesurgery
[04:22.56]Distance surgery will become common as doctors carry out operations
[04:28.28]from thousands of miles away,
[04:30.94]with each city having its own telesurgery outpatient clinic.
[04:35.99]Holidays at home
[04:38.68]Senior citizens and people with disabilities
[04:42.70]will be able to go anywhere in the world
[04:45.06]using high-tech cameras attached to their head.
[04:49.54]Space travel
[04:51.33]Travelling in space by ordinary citizens will be common.
[04:55.86]Each city will have its own spaceport.
[05:00.18]LISTENING AND SPEAKING
[05:05.44]2 Listen to an architect talking about the home of the future

[18:07.76]READING AND VOCABULARY
[18:10.31]1 Look at the passage and say who might find the information useful.
[18:17.70]Getting Around in Beijing
[18:20.75]Taxis
[18:23.05]Taxis are on the streets 24 hours a day.
[18:27.05]Simply raise your hand,and a taxi appears in no time.
[18:31.46]They are usually red,
[18:33.41]and they display the price per kilometre on the window.
[18:37.45]You should check the cab has a business permit,
[18:40.25]and make sure you ask for a receipt.
[18:43.56]Buses and trolleybuses
[18:45.95]Public transport provides a cheap way to get around in Beijing.
[18:51.36]There are 20,000 buses and trolleybuses in Beijing,
[18:55.18]but they can get very crowded.
[18:58.45]It's a good idea to avoid public transport during the rush hour
[19:03.56](6:30 am--8:00 am and 5:00 pm--6:30 pm).
[19:09.51]Fares are cheap, starting at 1 yuan.
[19:13.00]Air-conditioned buses cost more.
[19:16.14]Buses numbered 1 to 100 are limited to travel within the city centre.
[19:22.00]Higher numbers have destinations in the suburbs.
[19:25.79]Tourists shouldn't miss the 103 bus
[19:29.41]which offers one of the most impressive routes,
[19:32.68]past the Forbidden City and the White Pagoda in Beihai Park.
[19:37.29]If you get on a double-decker bus, make sure you sit upstairs.
[19:41.61]You'll have a good view of the rapidly changing city.
[19:44.84]Most buses run from about 5:00 am to midnight.
[19:49.75]However,there is also a night bus service,
[19:52.44]provided by buses with a number in the 200s.
[19:56.36]Minibuses
[19:58.13]Minibuses with seats for 12 passengers offer an alternative to expensive taxis
[20:04.24]and crowded public transport in some areas.
[20:07.67]They run regular services and follow the same routes as large public buses.
[20:13.19]And in a minibus you always get a seat even in rush hours.
[20:18.54]Underground
[20:20.67]There are four underground lines in Beijing,
[20:24.37]and several lines are under construction.
[20:27.32]Trains are fast and convenient,but rush hours can be terrible.
[20:32.90]A one-way trip costs 3 yuan. Station names are marked in pinyin.
[20:39.81]The underground is open from 5:00 am to 11:00 pm.
[20:45.52]Pedicabs
[20:47.84]Tourists like these human-pedalled "tricycle taxis",
[20:51.83]but they can be expensive.
[20:54.84]You should talk to the driver,
[20:56.99]and make sure you know the price before you begin the journey,
[21:00.67]for example,if it is per person,single or return.
[21:05.84]Tricycles are worth using
[21:08.52]if you want to explore the narrow alleys (hutong) of old Beijing.
[21:14.19]LISTENING AND SPEAKING
[21:19.77]1 Listen to the people of Beijing
[21:23.29]speaking about traffic problems in the city.
[21:26.30]Before you listen,tick the topics you think will talk about.
[21:31.28]Now listen and check.

[22:13.79]Speaker 2
[22:52.14]Speaker 3

[01:51.47]But one thing is certain--
[01:54.09]they are going to get bigger before they get smaller.
[01:57.50]In the future,
[01:59.31]care for the environment
[02:00.88]will become very important as earth's natural resources run out.
[02:06.17]We will use lots of recycled materials,

[02:40.40]a teacher at a university in Texas in the United States
[02:44.72]asked his students to think how they would run a city of 50,000 people
[02:49.74]in the year 2025.
[02:52.54]Here are some of the ideas they had:
[02:55.95]Garbage ships

[03:05.12]and send them towards the sun,

[03:12.11]Batman Nets
[03:14.85]Police will arrest criminals by firing nets instead of guns.
[03:19.81]Forget smoking
[03:22.54]No smoking will be allowed within a future city's limits.
[03:26.62]Smoking will be possible only outside cities, and outdoors.
[03:33.08]Forget the malls

[03:39.38]and catalogues will have voice commands to place orders.

[03:55.25]All forms of recreation,
[03:57.74]such as cinemas, bowling,softball, concerts and others,

[18:07.76]READING AND VOCABULARY
[18:10.31]1 Look at the passage and say who might find the information useful.
[18:17.70]Getting Around in Beijing
[18:20.75]Taxis
[18:23.05]Taxis are on the streets 24 hours a day.
[18:27.05]Simply raise your hand,and a taxi appears in no time.
[18:31.46]They are usually red,
[18:33.41]and they display the price per kilometre on the window.
[18:37.45]You should check the cab has a business permit,
[18:40.25]and make sure you ask for a receipt.
[18:43.56]Buses and trolleybuses
[18:45.95]Public transport provides a cheap way to get around in Beijing.
[18:51.36]There are 20,000 buses and trolleybuses in Beijing,
[18:55.18]but they can get very crowded.
[18:58.45]It's a good idea to avoid public transport during the rush hour
[19:03.56](6:30 am--8:00 am and 5:00 pm--6:30 pm).
[19:09.51]Fares are cheap, starting at 1 yuan.
[19:13.00]Air-conditioned buses cost more.
[19:16.14]Buses numbered 1 to 100 are limited to travel within the city centre.
[19:22.00]Higher numbers have destinations in the suburbs.
[19:25.79]Tourists shouldn't miss the 103 bus
[19:29.41]which offers one of the most impressive routes,
[19:32.68]past the Forbidden City and the White Pagoda in Beihai Park.
[19:37.29]If you get on a double-decker bus, make sure you sit upstairs.
[19:41.61]You'll have a good view of the rapidly changing city.
[19:44.84]Most buses run from about 5:00 am to midnight.
[19:49.75]However,there is also a night bus service,
[19:52.44]provided by buses with a number in the 200s.
[19:56.36]Minibuses
[19:58.13]Minibuses with seats for 12 passengers offer an alternative to expensive taxis
[20:04.24]and crowded public transport in some areas.
[20:07.67]They run regular services and follow the same routes as large public buses.
[20:13.19]And in a minibus you always get a seat even in rush hours.
[20:18.54]Underground
[20:20.67]There are four underground lines in Beijing,
[20:24.37]and several lines are under construction.
[20:27.32]Trains are fast and convenient,but rush hours can be terrible.
[20:32.90]A one-way trip costs 3 yuan. Station names are marked in pinyin.
[20:39.81]The underground is open from 5:00 am to 11:00 pm.
[20:45.52]Pedicabs
[20:47.84]Tourists like these human-pedalled "tricycle taxis",
[20:51.83]but they can be expensive.
[20:54.84]You should talk to the driver,
[20:56.99]and make sure you know the price before you begin the journey,
[21:00.67]for example,if it is per person,single or return.
[21:05.84]Tricycles are worth using
[21:08.52]if you want to explore the narrow alleys (hutong) of old Beijing.
