Read the following passage, and then decide True (T) or False (F) for the following sentences.

“Sky Whale” is a plane with four engines that can carries over 700 people. The airplane will exist for short distance between cities. The technology will use eco-engines with energy recovery systems which are able to feed back to the planes themselves.

With a capacity to transport a large number of passengers, like a train of high speed, "Sky Whale" will be a safer type of planes for the future.

We will also have supersonic planes which are transcontinental or transoceanic. They can fly at very high altitudes more than 30,000 meters and at record speeds. The engines which can change according to the situations are called intelligent engines.

_____ 1."Sky Whale" can carry a large number of passengers.

_____ 2. The airplane will be used for long distances between cities because it has four engines.

_____ 3. "Sky Whale" can travel at a high speed.

_____ 4.Transcontinental planes can fly at the maximum altitude of 3.000 metres and at record speeds.

_____ 5.Intelligent engines are the ones that can change according to the situations.

Predictions about the Cities of the Future

Cities are built to survive and prosper. Over the years, we have learned to transform our surroundings according to our needs. We have cut through mountains to make more land and created artificial islands to make skyscrapers. City planning, as an organized profession, has existed for less than a century. However, a considerable amount of evidence (both archaeological and historical) proves the existence of fully planned cities in ancient times. Over the years, humans have made some mistakes in terms of using an excessive amount of resources for cities. This gives rise to the question of how sustainable the cities of the future would be. We might be looking at smart cities in which street lights would only switch on when you are close by and traffic light would be eliminated by smart driving. The cities of the future would try to save our resources rather than deplete them. An example of an advanced city is Kansas. Plans are in place to make Kansas a smart futuristic city in the future. Planners are considering introducing sensors to monitor the water mains. Warning would be issued to city officials when the infrastructure requires repair or replacement. In this way, the city would never be at risk of having broken pipes. While the idea sounds fantastic, a large amount of rational critique has called this plan an oversold dream. Amy Glasmier is an urban planning professor at MIT. She is a smart city skeptic who believes that all the research and talk is great but gravely oversold.
