Everyone knows that the bells can tell the time. And some special bells can be used 1     a kind of instrument. In ancient China,people often danced to its music. In many temples of China,we can find them. They are 2      You can even strick (敲击)them.

However,have you seen a bell like this one? It is 6.75 metres high,3. 3 metres in diameter(直径)and .46. 5 tons(吨)in weight. You can 3      how large it is. Yes,the bell named the Yong Le Bell,is the largest one in China. Its loud and clear 4      could be heard .50 kilometres away at night when everything was quiet.

Even now it would be very  5      to make  such  a wonderful bell. But then there was a problem :  6      could they move it to the temple? The big bell was made in their factory. The temple was on 7      side of the city. They had to move it through the streets across the city. At that time they had no 8      to lift it or move it for such a long way.

Finally they had an idea. They dug a small 9       

from their factory to the temple. Then they poured water into it. In  10     the water in the small river froze to make an    “ice  road”. They tied thick  wood  to  the  bottom of the bell,pulled the  bell to the ice  and  skated it  along on top of the ice to the temple. Now the bell is  stored in the Great Bell Temple in the west of Beijing.

 It seems that the cities in the future will have to change. Because the world’s population 36      now,there will 37      more people in the cities tomorrow.

It may be 38      for every family to own a house in the future,for there isn’t enough 39      to build houses. The 40      to solve this problem is to build the skyscraper city (摩天城).The highest building in the world today is in   

Dubai. It’s about 828 metres high. The skyscraper cities in the future will be about seven times 41     

In a skyscraper city,about 250,000 people can live. 42      skyscraper city will have four towns in it and each town will have ten villages. They will live,work and 43      their free time in them. They won’t need to leave the city 44      they want to. They will be able to move about in the city by transportation controlled 45      computers. Let’s imagine how the life will be then!
