Eighth­graders from the southern state of Georgia－David Straub, Katherine Barri and Rebecca North－imagined their city far into the future. Straub said they predicted that public transport would be effortless and eco­friendly.

　　Young teens compete

　　Leila Mezza, Oha Hassan and Mousa Seid from Houston, Texas, imagined a city in Brazil in 2084, with transport relying on electric cars.

　　The Future City competition, now in its 22nd year, is mainly focused on young teens. Because at that age in the United States, they have to elect the math courses, the advanced math courses. If they aren't at that age, they will never be an engineer.

　　The grand prize of $7,500 went to St. John Lutheran School in Michigan. The team members won a trip to U．S. Space Camp.

　　Even if they didn't win, the experience of working on an engineering project has encouraged many of the kids to think about a career in science and technology. One of them is Eric Swyler from New Mexico, who said, “I plan to become a scientist of some kind, but I'm not sure exactly what kind.”

　　5．How many teams took part in the final competition?

　　A．1,350.

　　B．40,000.

　　C．37.

　　D．6.

　　6．What's the purpose of holding the annual contest?

　　A．To lead teens to careers in science and technology.
