Mrs. Brown is a farmer. She lives a peaceful and happy life with her family on the farm. Every day she gets up at six o'clock in the morning and then starts her work: water the plants, clean the yard, take out the rubbish, and pick some vegetables from the garden for lunch,...,a lot of work to do! Mr. Brown usually makes noodles and eggs for breakfast.
But today Mr. Brown isn't in the kitchen. She looks at the table. There is no food for her.
"Tom!" she calls her son loudly. But there's no answer.
"That's strange," she thinks.
Mrs. Brown goes outside to the yard and calls Max, her dog.
"Max!" she calls. Max doesn't come.
"That's strange," she thinks.
Mrs. Brown goes to feed the chickens.
She looks in the backyard. No chickens.
"That's strange," she thinks.
Mrs. Brown goes to see the cows.
She looks in the barn, a place for housing her cows. No cows.
"That's strange," she thinks.
Mrs. Brown looks in the field. No animals.
"Where are the sheep? Where are the pigs? Where's the horse? That's very strange!" she thinks.
Just at that time, Mrs. Brown hears a noise behind the house.
She goes to look.
Everyone's in the garden: Mr. Brown, Tom, Max, the chickens, the cows, the pigs and the horse.
"Surprise!"
"Where's my breakfast, honey?"
"Today's breakfast is cake. Birthday cake! Happy birthday, my love!"
What do you imagine cities will be like in the future? Will we have smart buildings and flying cars? Or robots that will pick up our rubbish? What about schools? Will we still travel to school or will we study online from home? Perhaps all the buildings and roads will be underground and we'll just have parks and cycle lanes（自行车道）above. Maybe…or maybe not, but what we do know is that in the future, cities are going to have more and more people living in them.
More than half the world's people already live in cities, and by 2050, cities will become homed to about 6.5 billion（十亿）people. That's a lot of people and very little space! More people means that we're going to have more pollution, traffic and noise. It also means that we'll need more homes, schools, hospitals, jobs and transport. We'll need more water, oil, coal（煤）and electricity. Oh, more ways to grow food for so many people!
Many cities are already planning for the future. For example, Bristol is a cycling city in England. You can ride a bike in cycle lanes which are separated from the traffic. To save land, people in Singapore and Tokyo grow vegetables in tall buildings, called "vertical farms". And in Amsterdam in the Netherlands, there are "floating houses" built on water instead of on land!
The Spring Festival holiday runs from Jan. 21 to 27 this year. Influenced by the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, ice-and-snow tours flower among Chinese people during the seven-day holiday.
He Rui spent the first day of the Spring Festival holiday at home. He went to the ski resort（滑雪胜地）in his city early on the second day and was ready to start the Year of the Rabbit on his snowboard.
Since he started skiing two years ago, the 11-year-old has gotten used to getting up early and practicing skiing.
"People used to stay at home during the Spring Festival holiday. But as our society pays more attention to healthy lifestyle, more people want to spend their holiday skiing," said Chang Yulin, director of a ski resort. "We hold colorful activities here so that visitors can both enjoy skiing and have a special Spring Festival holiday," said Ren Xiaoqiang, manager of the resort.
For Qiao Jian, a ski-lover from Shanxi, skiing has become his new habit to celebrate the Spring Festival. He has flown to Heilongjiang Province（省）and Hebei Province, because there's more ice and snow.
"Besides taking part in winter sports, we can visit nearby places to experience more local culture," Qiao said.
The number of snow and ice travelers in China is expected to reach more than 300 million in winter. The number is expected to reach 520 million in three years. And the money from ice-and-snow tours will probably reach ¥720 billion.
