When you walk into the small Australian town of Coober Pedy, you may be surprised by what you can see. It’s just barren land there!
So why even call it a town There are more than 4,000 people of 48 nationalities. However, all of the people live underground!
Coober Pedy was established in 1915, following the discovery of opals (猫眼石). The town is sometimes called the “opal capital of the world”, because it is the largest opal mining area in the world.
Because of the desert climate, people came to realize that while working under the ground was easy, living above it was not. The solution was to move underground, by changing old mines into homes and establishing the world’s first and most likely, only underground town.
As years have gone by, the homes have become bigger. There are now also some hotels for tourists. They come from all over the world just to see this unusual town. Coober Pedy is probably best known for its unique style of underground living.
While the structures may be located underground, they are in no way worse than those that lie above. Not only do their walls have the color of beautiful red, but also the structures have all the modern equipment like walk-in closets, modern kitchens and televisions. And the town also has gift shops selling opal jewelry, a couple of museums and even a church!
Besides, Coober Pedy is also a favourite among filmmakers. And it has appeared in a series of movies such as Pitch Black, Red Planet and Opal Dream.

The world is developing fast because of technology and its uses in our lives. This means that the jobs we have now are changing, and that there will be new jobs in the future. What’s more, you won’t be in the same job your whole working life. It’ll be more likely that you will change jobs every few years—especially when you’re early in your job.
There are ways to be prepared for the future jobs by building different job skills. It’s a good idea to start developing these skills early, so you will be ready to jump into these future jobs as they appear.
Understanding Digital (数字的) Information
Everything is becoming more digital, which means understanding digital information will be important to success in the future jobs. You need to know how to understand and use digital technologies—both software, and hardware—as well as knowing how to read and understand a lot of online information.
If you can understand and use digital information, you will be able to learn it quickly and use it to solve problems and make decisions.
Being Creative (独创的)
No technology can match the creativity of the human mind, and many future jobs will need people to come up with new ideas and put these ideas into real use. This means it is very important to think creatively about problems. If you can imagine ways to solve problems and make new products, you are more likely to be successful in the future jobs.
Keeping Learning
As new technologies and new jobs appear, it will be more important than ever to be willing to learn new things. Those who can’t or won’t adapt (适应) to these changes will simply get left behind.
The workplace is changing fast, and will continue to change. New digital technologies will change nearly every job. So, you should take every chance to learn new skills and technologies, take training classes, and spend time researching and studying up on things that interest you or will be useful for your future jobs.
28．What are the changes in jobs with the development of technology
29．How can people be prepared for future jobs according to the passage
30．What is the possible result of not adapting to the changes in future jobs
31．How will you get ready for the future job Why

Imagine having everything you need—hospitals, stores, parks—just a few kilometers from home. This is the idea about the 15-minute city. Here, people can get all the services they need within 15minutes from home. This city model is being developed in cities around the world, from Paris to Moscow. It could make people get on better with each other.
Richard is a strong supporter (支持者) of the 15-minute city. In his opinion, it was necessary to fight against pollution problems. In a 15-minute city, car travel is not the best choice. People should build more foot roads and bike roads.
Clare plans to develop 15-minute areas through France. That means the number of parking space will be reduced (减少) to 60,000 by 2024 and more bike roads will be created.
Peter is the planner of the city Moscow. He is developing 15-minute areas: “Having stores close to homes makes people be able to live a better life.” Peter says.
Bill is also an important person behind the 15-minute city plan. He wants to make these places inclusive (包容的). As an area becomes more convenient (便利的), housing costs may increase. Bill advises to create more kinds of houses in order that people of different groups can live there.

Would you like to live in a city where you can go to places like hospitals, museums, cinemas without taking any form of cards or money and self-driving cars will find the nearest parking space themselves Although it might sound a little far from you at present, living in a “smart” city like this could happen sooner than you think.
Great changes have taken place in towns where we have lived for centuries, at the same time completely new cities are being built. One such place is the city of Songdo in Korea. Every home there will have a “telepresence system”, allowing users to control the temperature and humidity (湿度) in their houses, take part in video meetings, receive online education, healthcare and government services. All offices and schools will all be connected to the system as well.
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.
阅读以上信息，用恰当的词完成下面的短文，每空一词。
If people live in a “smart city”, it’s not 42 for them to take money or any card when they go out to different places. A “smart city” is a city where all 43 , offices and schools are connected to the “telepresence system”, so users are 44 to do things like attending video meetings and receiving online education. The city of Songdo is such an 45 . The company Ciscocomes up with the idea. Many other technology companies are in this business as well. As more people will live in the city by 2050, the city governments should take 46 to make the city smarter and greener.
