　　 Douglas Grace talks about his ideal city of the future.

　　 I see the city of the future in three zones(区域)---inner(内部), middle and outer. In the inner zone there will be no private(私人的) cars. Public transport(交通) will be free and there will only be ambulances(急救车), fire engines, taxis and police cars. This inner zone will be the residential(住宅的) and recreational(娱乐的) area of the city. People will live there and go out to enjoy themselves----to cinemas and restaurants. There will be parks and open spaces, trees and lakes, schools and universities. This way, when people are at home, they can go out easily and safely.

　　 Just outside the inner zone there will be big car parks for all private cars.

　　 The banks and most of the shops and hospitals will be in the middle zone. These are things that people don’t need every day.

　　 All the factories and offices will be in the outer zone. People will travel out of the center to work, and back to the center in the evenings. The inner zone will be cleaner and better to live in and there will be more space for industry on the outside.

　　 This is my ideal city of the future--- a very beautiful place! But I don’t really think things will ever be like that!

　　 The clock struck eleven at night. The whole house was quiet. Everyone was in bed except me. Under the strong light, I looked sadly before me at a huge pile of that troublesome stuff(东西) they call “books”.

　　 I was going to have my examination the next day. “When can I go to bed?” I asked myself. I didn’t answer, In fact I dared not.

　　 The clock struck twelve.” Oh, dear!” I cried. “Ten more books to read before I can go to bed!” We pupils are the most wretched creatures in the world. Dad does not agree with me on this. He did not have to work so hard when he was a boy.

　　 The clock struck one. I was quite desperate(绝望的) now. I forgot all I had learned. I was too tired to go on. I did the only thing I could. I prayed, “Oh, God, please help me pass the exam tomorrow. I do promise to work hard afterwards, Amen.” My eyes were so heavy that I could hardly open them A few minutes later, with my head on the desk, I fell asleep.
