智慧城市的兴起
素材段落
With the widespread application of sophisticated information and communication technologies, the concept of creating a ‘smart city’ has been proposed as the ultimate goal that large cities would seek in their future development. A ‘smart city’ could largely improve the quality of life and the performance of urban services. For example, it has brought local residents a more efficacious and user-friendly public transportation system. In Barcelona, a new bus network has been designed to utilize vertical, horizontal and diagonal routes with a number of interchanges, based on the analysis of the most common traffic flows. Also, when smart traffic lights are set up and traffic management software is installed, the number of green lights on each street has been optimized to avoid traffic congestion as well as to allow ambulances to reach incidents without any delay.

政府的重要性
素材段落
Many problems could be better resolved with the assistance of the government. For instance, when a child is missing, the best solution is to report it immediately to the police, who will then undertake a full-scale search. When a serious pollution problem has been created by a factory, which represents a health threat to citizens, it is also advisable to turn to the government for help. In this way, immediate measures can be taken to stop the factory from releasing harmful pollutants into the atmosphere. When a consumer has purchased a low-quality product, he could seek legal assistance from the government to better protect his rights. These examples show that the government is often the best means by which people can solve their problems.
