Now, when you go to a certain shopping mall, you can enjoy its free WiFi there. When you want to take a taxi, you can book one with your phone. In fact, all these can be seen as the basic parts of a smart city. The idea of a smart city was brought up by US pany IBM in 2010. Generally, a smart city is a city that uses digital technologies such as the Internet to improve city planning, save money and resources, and make our life convenient. How smart can a city be? Here are great examples that we can learn from. In 2009, Dubuque became the first smart city in the US. The city used smart water meters to take the place of traditional water me tens. They can detect （探測） water waste and leakage （泄漏） and send data to let the house owner know. The same system is used for other city resources like electricity and natural gas. In this way, people know how they use their resources and are glad to help reduce waste. Santander in Spain also gives us a look at the future. If people point a phone toward a nearby bus stop, the phone immediately shows all bus lines that serve the stop as well as their arrival times. The government organized a research team and provided an App （應(yīng)用程序） that collects data on almost everything: light, temperature, and the movements of cars and people.

He was short and thin. He walked up to the teacher and told her, very seriously, that he was new. His name was Christian. He sat down, took a look at me, and then looked away. I didn39。t think he was very nice and I was sure he wasn39。t the type I would like to bee friends with. During that year, I didn39。t talk to him much, but he smiled at me when our eyes met, always shyly. He never ate lunch with anybody, and he never talked to anybody but me. But one day I joined those unkind kids who were making fun of him. We made fun of him though I thought it was wrong. Haven39。t you got any friends? a kid asked Christian, who had walked past us alone, head down. No, he hasn39。t got any friends. He39。s too stupid and shy, I said. Then Christian looked up at me with the saddest dog eyes I had ever seen. I felt very sorry at that moment. That night, I couldn39。t sleep because I couldn39。t get Christian39。s face out of my mind. In the weeks that followed, he never met my eyes in class and never smiled at me. It was really hard for me to decide to write him a note asking him to forgive （原諒） me. But I thought I should. The next day in class, I wrote him a note telling him how sorry I felt. About five minutes later, I turned and saw tears in his eyes. You will never realize what your apology （道歉） has meant to me, Jimmy, he said to me. I hope we can bee friends. We had lunch together that noon and we had the best talk I had ever had.

Besides, in decent（像樣的） restaurants, you can always ask for a knife and fork, if you find the chopsticks not helpful enough. The real difference is that in the West, you have your own plate of food, while in China the dishes are placed on the table and everyone shares. If you are being treated to a formal（正式的） dinner and particularly if the host thinks you39。re in the country for the first time, he will do his best to
