The Importance of Sleep

For about one third of your life, your eyes will be closed. You will not move very much. You will breathe very slowly. You will

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

In the future, cities may see flying vehicles, mega bridges, and underground space. Those cities will be controlled by the
Internet and the development of technologies. Technology will also be used to create a new quality of life in well-planned
developments.

Transportation through tunnels will be more popular. Technology is much faster and cheaper today, so the city of the future
will see more solutions, such as an underground network of tunnels that could ship 600 million packages a year. Some cities
are developing the above-ground tunnel travel system in which passengers and cargo could be transported in shorter time.

The bridge of the future will do more than connect two points. An exciting example is that a skybridge will offer everything
from pedestrian and bike lanes as well as services for people on it. Future cities will see skybridges as a large area with
houses, offices, and restaurants.

The streets of the future city are smart. One good example is streetlights that react to what's going on around them. For
example, if a crowd is leaving a stadium at night, the lamps may brighten to light the way or even warn a nearby ambulance.
