You may also watch taxis crawl their way through traffic jams.No matter where you are, all big cities around the world have traffic jams these days. But although they all have their
16、 problems, many cities also have a type of transport that has become a cultural icon(文化标识).In London to avoid the traffic above ground, people use the “underground”, also called the “Tube”. The city has the oldest and most complicated underground railway system in the world which is the pride of man
17、y Londoners. With 12 lines and 275 stations across the city, the Tube, is normally the quickest and easiest way of getting around London. In London, you are never far from a Tube station.New York is famous for its Yellow cabs. They serve as a quick and easy way of getting across Manhattan, where the
18、 subway doesnt take you everywhere. Stopping a cab is easy; just stick out your arm like you do in any city. But, with over 12000 yellow cabs in the Big Apple, they also cause traffic jams.Since 1873 when the first cable car started public service, the slow and noisy vehicle has been a symbol of San
19、 Francisco. Although once damaged by a serious earthquake and challenged by cars, it is never caught in traffic jams and provides better views than the subway.But there are no such symbols in Los Angeles. If you visit the city youd better rent a car. The citys public transportation is terrible. It c
20、an take hours to get across town by bus. The subway covers just a small part of the city centre. The light rail line only runs between the Long Beach hotel area and the centre.

32、ill we live in the future? Nobody can be sure, but architects and scientists are working out new ideas now.Some architects are thinking about building whole cities under huge glass domes(圆屋). Of course, heating and cooling systems will be necessary to control the climate in the domes. However, there
33、 will never be any rain or snow, and the temperature will always be comfortable.Perhaps everyone will live the necessities of life. Since vertical citied will use less land than horizontal cities, and provide homes for more people, they will be practical for small countries that have large populatio
34、ns.Another idea that will be helpful to small countries (and island countries) is the floating city. Monaco has already built homes, stores and offices on the water of the Mediterranean Sea. And a Japanese architect has proposed a plan for constructing buildings on bridges over Tokyo Bay.There are s
35、ome people who think we will go back to living in caves. But the caves of the future will be very different from those of the Stone Age. Computers will control light and climate.

39、arwin didnt settle for（满足于） just thinking he knew something. And, he believed all things could be important however simple they seemed to be.Suppose you drop sheets of paper that are of exactly the same size and shape.

40、ay. Now make one of the sheets of paper into a tight little ball and let it drop along with the other sheets. What happens?
