In the future, cities will need to make sustainable development the most important thing. In other words,
cities must grow in a good way and not damage the environment. People who manage cities in the future
will have to consider a large number of things, including transportation, energy use, green spaces, and
housing. All of these will need to be improved to make future cities pleasant places to live.
Smart systems will run successful future cities, including self-driving vehicles powered by eco-friendly
fuels, such as electricity produced by solar panels or wind power. Transportation by car within the city will
actually be faster than now, because there will be less congestion. A lot more people will commute to and
from work on subway systems and in buses with their own lanes. Most trucks will disappear from city
streets because delivery of goods will be by drone.
Successful future cities will have a lot more green spaces than today, which will improve air quality and
reduce, to some extent, the worst effects of climate change. Research has shown that green spaces improve

mental health as well as physical health, so the people who live in these cities will generally be happier than

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 34 to 40.
For years when I was growing up, life was just school, homework, and leisure activities. But then, I talked
with a teacher when I was about 16. She gave me the addresses of some useful websites. I realized that
preparing for my future meant more than just focusing on those things. I saw then that it's important to
develop work skills and get practical experience while you are still in school.
Time management is the key to success. As a child, your time was managed by your parents, but as you
become independent, you cannot rely on other people to organize everything. Create a schedule that
includes study hours, after-school clubs, assignments, and, if you already have a part-time job, working
hours. Put your schedule on your phone and set it to remind you about important deadlines and
appointments.
If you don't have a job yet, look for opportunities which fit with your career goals, so that you can gain
practical experience and develop essential skills while still in school. Only apply for jobs which leave you
enough time to complete all your homework.
Find a mentor who can offer support in your chosen career. This is a person who can provide advice and
help you plan your career path. You will often find that one of your teachers, a family member, or a friend
has the right experience and knowledge to do this.
Focus on building skills that are valuable in any workplace, such as communication, teamwork, and
problem-solving. Take part in activities like clubs and volunteer work, especially if they involve leadership.
But don't forget to take care of yourself. Make time for relaxation, hobbies, and physical activity. All of
these things help to reduce stress.
Question 34: What does the writer mean by those things in the first paragraph?
A. Addresses
