Now, when you go to a certain shopping mall, you can enjoy its free Wi-Fi there. When you want to take a taxi, you can book one with your phone. In fact, all these can be seen as the basic parts of a smart city. The idea of a smart city was brought up by US company IBM in 2010.

They can detect（探测water waste and leakage（泄漏）and send data to let the house owner know. The same system is used for other city resources like electricity and natural gas. This way, people know how they use their resources and are glad to help reduce waste. Santander in Spain also gives us a look at the future. If people point a phone toward a nearby bus stop, the phone immediately shows all bus lines that serve the stop as well as their arrival times.

Two years ago，he made a digital programme for the traffic system. After getting the prize, he got the advice from his father: “Do what interests you, and never give up.”Steven always prefers the projects which connect to our real life! He still remembers the project he has done. First of all, he tried to divide the project into small parts. He usually gave himself some basic ideas after thinking them over and over again. When he met with some problems that he couldnt work out by himself, he used to go to the teachers office and ask his teachers for help. At the beginning of his research such a question “How do I do it?” often came to his mind. As he kept on studying and discussing with his teachers, those “how” questions soon turned into another type: “What if I do this and that way?”It took Steven more than four days to write the code(编码) on his computer. The desire(愿望) to solve the problems made him not get to sleep all nights. When he found his project going well, he jumped with joy. The last day of his work got deeply impressed in his mind. He went into trouble and didnt know what to do next. At the moment, he noticed a man with headphones dancing while he was cleaning the room. This encouraged him to work on his project. He made good success at last.Now Steven feels very proud of his projects and tries to do more projects at school. Answer each of the following questions in No More Than 7 Words.1.
