It is December 25th, 2050. The people in the city are all celebrating Christmas. I’m the mayor of our city. My citizens* and I are holding a big party under the sea, though you wouldn’t believe it. But please do not feel excited, you should feel sad because we have to live under the sea. Because of the pollution, the earth has been completely destroyed, from top to bottom. The atmosphere* has no oxygen* and moisture*. As a result, the plants are burned by the strong sunlight with a great number of harmful rays. Of course, none of them are still alive. Not only no green, but also the temperature reaches about 121℃ all day even in winter because there is too much CO2 circling the earth.
On the land, there is no life. Luckily, the sea is not destroyed by human. So, we have to move into the sea. At the bottom of the water, people have built many new cities. There is a lot of advanced* equipment* in each city. Computers are used to control all the machines, even the people’s life. We can also make the seawater into fresh water. There are two machines making oxygen. If they stop working for only one minute, more than 10 million people will die.
The population of our city is over 30 million and, of course, it is quite crowded. We have lots of high buildings and bridges. The roads are wide, too. Our cars are miniature* UFOs, don’t be surprised, it is true. At the bottom of the sea you can’t see anything, because there is no light all day. However, we have advanced lighting equipment so that we can see the “sun” under the sea. Of course, the advanced lighting equipment is very expensive. And if it doesn’t work, we can see nothing under the sea. What should we do then?
【小题1】Where are they holding a big Christmas party?

Who g building the new China? It′s not the factory owners or the business men and women of China．It′s someone else．It′s the people who have left their homes to follow their dreams，the dream of a better life．

   We see them every day，on every street corner，on every construction site in cities．They work day and night in the terrible working conditions and weather．They build the roads the theaters，the cinemas，and the supermarkets．They even clean up our rubbish．They are China′s migrant workers (民工)．Young and old，these men and women are building the new China from the ground up．

   More than 140 million workers have left their home as in the countryside to look for jobs in big cities all over China．They hope to be rich，but they realize they have many difficulties in making enough money for their family．And one of the difficulties that these workers have is the pride and discrimination(歧视)from the people in cities．

   When night fails．everywhere I look I see sad faces of the migrant workers．You can see them playing cards along the streets．Many are living far away from those whom．they love．

    I call sometimes feel their pain，knowing exactly what it feels like to live so far away from home in a city where 1 walk a different walk and talk a different talk．

   Yes，they dress differently，they speak differently，and they have different habits(习惯)，but they work hard to make money．The people in cities call them outsiders，and most governments (政府)refuse to give them medical care and public schooling for their children．

    If China hopes to move into the future，many things need to change。The first is discrimination! We need to stop our discrimination against the migrant workers of china! They may not make as much money as some people in cities，they may not have everything we have．but they are good honest(诚实)people just trying to survive this game of life。These workers are very important and necessary to China′s economic(经济)development and have become an important force(力量)for the change of Chinese society(社会)．They arc building the new China．so we should lend our hands and help them．
