If you read a clock,you can know the time of day. But how did the early people know about the time?
We cannot see or hear time. We know it only when ifs passing. We know it has passed only when something (1) . In the real world,changes never stop. Some changes happen only once (2) others happen again and a- gain.
In early human history,people found that the changes of “light and darkness” seemed to (3) again and again. The sun rises in the east,producing (4) and goes down in the west,causing darkness. This ulight and dark-ness” was the first “time” for the early humans. We now call it one day.
People also saw the sun rise in the sky,sometimes (5 ) but sometimes lower.They counted the days that passed from the sun's highest position (位置) until it returned to that position. That was three hundred and sixty-five days. That's just one year.
Early humans also noticed changes of the moon. (6) used the changing faces of the moon to tell time. The moon was “full” when its face was bright and round. The early humans counted how many times the sun appeared(7) full moons. They learned that this number always remained the same—about twenty-nine. Twenty-nine suns equaled (等于) one moon. We now know this is one (8) .
In this way,we humans get the time of day,month,year and so on.

Lefs suppose it is a common day of 2060. Of course,things have changed and life is very different.
Trips to the moon are being made every day. Taking a holiday on the moon today is as easy as taking a holiday in Europe in the 2010’s. At a number of scenery sport (风景胜地) on the moon,many hotels have been built. In order that everyone can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the moon,every room has at least one picture window. Everything imaginable is provided for entertainment of the young and old.
What are people eating now? People are still eating food. But many foods now come in pill (药片) form,and the food that goes into the pill comes mainly from green plants.
Because people in the world today are many more than those about fifty years ago,most of the earth's surface has to be filled. The deserts are irrigated with water and crops are no longer eaten by pets (害虫) The harvest is always good.
Farming,of course,is very highly developed. Very few people have to work on the farm. It is possible to run the farm by just using a few computers.
People are now largely vegetarians,and they eat only bread,vegetables,fruit and so on and they don^ eat meat or fish. You see,as the number of people increases,the number of animals decreases. So people have to be vegetarians. We are healthier both in our bodies and in our minds,and we know how to deal with all kinds of illnesses. No one has to be ill any more.
Such would be our life in 2060.

Have you noticed your life becoming a little easier? Now,when you go to a certain shopping mall,you can enjoy its free WiFi 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 life convenient. How smart can a city be? Here are great exam-ples that we can learn from.
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 (探测) 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.
Santander in Spain also gives us a look at the future. If people point a phone toward a nearby bus stop,the phone immediately shows all bus lines that serve the stop as well as their arrival times. The government organized a research team and provided an App (应用程序) that collects data on almost everything：light,temperature,and the movements of cars and people. Opening the App near a supermarket provides immediate information on special offers.
