Picture this： You wake up in the morning. A soft light turns on in your room. You go into the bathroom and the shower starts. The water is warm. After your shower， you go into the kitchen. Your favorite breakfast is already on the table. How is all this possible？ Welcome to your future house.

Our houses in the future will be “smart”. Appliances will be able to talk with each other—and with you. For example， your refrigerator （冰箱） will know what you have in it and tell you what dishes you can make with the food. When you need more food， your refrigerator will tell you to buy it. This will be possible thanks to information-storing tools （信息存儲工具） called RFID chips. They can store the information about all the food in your refrigerator.

Our future houses will also be able to “think”. If you are tired of the color of your walls， you won’t have to paint them again. The walls will be able to change colors because of a special kind of technology （科技）—OLED. In fact， OLED walls will be screens. A computer will join the walls and the other things， and this computer will “rule” your house. Your house will learn about your likes and dislikes. It will then use that message to run the environment. It will also darken the windows at night and lighten them when it’s time to wake up. What do you think of our future houses？

Paris will host the 2024 Olympic Games and its mayor （市長） Anne Hidalgo wants to host the swimming events in the Seine River. But to do so， she’ll have to clear the river of the waste （垃圾）—about 360 tons of waste is found in the Seine River every year.

Lucky for Hidalgo， 11-year-old Raphael is on the case. For more than two years， the boy has spent nearly every weekend with his dad fishing waste out of the river. He has already fished out 7 tons of waste， including bikes， cameras and mobile phones.

It all started around Christmas in 2019 when Raphael saw an online video showing people how to fish waste out of water. So Raphael asked his parents for several meters of rope， a hook （鉤子） and a powerful magnet that could attract metal （金屬） objects.

In January 2020， they went to a part of the river in western Paris for their first catch. At first， Raphael just wanted to do it as a fun weekend activity. However， when he saw just how much waste there was in the river， it became a full-time job. In October 2021， Raphael won a Medal （勛章） of the City of Paris for what he had done.

Now， one part of the Seine River is much cleaner than the rest of the river. That’s where Raphael started fishing in January 2020. Although he’s not sure if he can make the whole Seine River clean by the 2024 Olympics， he hopes he’ll be one of the first to swim in the water once it’s safe for swimming.

（ ）1. Why does the writer talk about the mayor of Paris？

A. She is working together with Raphael. B. She lets more people know about Raphael.

C. She sees the need of cleaning the Seine River. D. She wants to make 2024 Olympics special.

（ ）2. Where did Raphael get the idea of cleaning up the Seine River？

A. From his dad. B. From the Internet.

C. From the mayor. D. From his teacher.

（ ）3. When did Raphael’s first catch take place？

A. In December 2019. B. In January 2020. C. In January 2021. D. In October 2021.

（ ）4. What does Raphael hope to do？

A. Go to a swimming competition. B. Do some fishing in the Seine River.

C. Win another Medal of the City of Paris. D. Be the first ones to swim in the Seine River.
