【題目】Have you noticed your life becoming a little easier? Now, when you go to a certain shopping mall, you can enjoy its free Wi-Fi there. When you want to take a taxi, you can book one with your phone. In fact, all these can be seen as the basic parts of a smart city.

The idea of a smart city was brought up by US company IBM in 2010. Generally, a smart city is a city that uses digital technologies such as the Internet to improve city planning, save money and resources, and make our lifeconvenient. How smart can a city be?

In 2009, Dubuque became the first smart city in the US. The city used smart water meters to take the place of traditional water meters. They can detect（探測〉water waste and leakage（泄漏）and send data to let the house owner know. The same system is used for other city resources like electricity and natural gas. This way, people know how they use their resources and are glad to help reduce waste.

【題目】

When I was in the third grade，I was picked to be the princess (公主) in the school play. For weeks my mother helped me practice my lines. But once on the stage，every word would disappear from my head. Then my teacher told me she had written a narrator's (解說者的) part for the play，and asked me to change roles. Though I didn't tell my mother what had happened that day，she sensed my unhappiness and asked if I wanted to take a walk in the yard.

It was a lovely spring day. We could see dandelions (蒲公英) in the grass. My mother said carelessly，“I think I am going to dig up all these weeds. From now on，we'll have only roses in this garden. ”

“But I like dandelions，” I protested. “All flowers are beautiful！”

“Yes，every flower gives pleasure in its own way，doesn't it？And that is true of people，too，” my mother said.

When I realized that she had guessed my pain，I started to cry and told her the truth.

“But you will be a beautiful narrator，” she said，reminding me of how much I loved to read stories aloud.

Over the next few weeks，with her help，I learned to take pride in the role. The big day finally came. A few minutes before the play，my teacher came over to me. “Your mom asked me to give this to you，” she said，handing me a dandelion. After the play，I took the flower home，laughing that I was perhaps the only person who would keep such a weed.
