One day a family visited the school where I taught deaf children. They said they would move here and planned to send their deaf daughter to my school as a first grader. They were upset that their child’s kindergarten(幼儿园) teacher told them not to have high hopes for her. Standing behind them was Katherine， a beautiful five-year-old with long hair and dark eyes. The whole time her parents were there， she didn’t make a sound or use sign language， even when her parents asked her to do so.

After a few weeks with Katherine， I discovered she was a very smart child. Although she joined in different learning activities， writing was always a problem . I tried all kinds of ways to get her interested in writing， but she always refused to write.

One day Katherine got off the school bus and stood in front of the school crying. The teachers there did not know enough sign language to ask her what happened. Finally they led her into the office and gave her a pen and a piece of paper. Katherine wrote：“PACBAK”. Then the teachers realized she had left her backpack on the bus. They called the bus driver back to school and soon Katherine got her backpack back.

That day Katherine discovered the power of the pen. From then on she fell in love with writing. She is a young woman now and has become an excellent writer， public speaker and student leader.

Let’s suppose it’s a common day of 2060. Of course， things have changed and life is very different.

Trips to the moon are being made every day. Taking a holiday on the moon today is as easy as taking a holiday in Europe in 2010’s. At a number of scenic spots(风景胜地) on the moon， many hotels have been built. In order that everyone can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the moon， every room has at least one picture window. Everything imaginable is provided for the entertainment(娱乐) of the young and old.

What are people eating now? People are still eating food. But many foods now come in pill(药片) form， and the food that goes into the pill comes mainly from green plants.

Because people in the world today are many more than those about fifty years ago， most of the earth’s surface has to be filled. The deserts are irrigated with water and crops are no longer eaten by pests(害虫). The harvest is always good.

Farming， of course， is very highly developed. Very few people have to work on the farm. It is possible to run the farm by just using a few computers.

People are now largely vegetarians， and they eat only bread， vegetables， fruit and so on and they don’t eat meat or fish. You see， as the number of people increases， the number of animals decreases. So people have to be vegetarians. We are healthier both in our bodies and in our minds， and we know how to deal with all kinds of illnesses. No one has to be ill any more.

Such would be our life in 2060.

We must improve city planning to deal with new challenges of the 21st century. In both developed and developing countries， cities and towns are feeling the effects of weather change， food danger， population growth and so on. These facts will change towns and cities in the century ahead. Many developing countries will continue to experience fast population growth in cities， along with its most serious problems， such as overcrowding and poverty(贫穷). Over half of the world’s population mainly live in cities， so there is no doubt that city planning will become the first thing to do for governments.

Unfortunately， the city planning systems in many parts of the world can’t deal with these challenges. After all， we know the problems， so we need to share the best solutions as efficiently and widely as possible by planning better for ourselves and our environment.
