COMMUNICATING WITH THE FUTURE
1
In the 1980s the United States Department of Energy was looking for suitable sites to bury
radioactive waste material generated by its nuclear energy programs. The government was
considering burying the dangerous waste in deep underground chambers in remote desert areas.
The problem, however, was that nuclear waste remains highly radioactive for thousands of years. The
commission entrusted with tackling the problem of waste disposal was aware that the dangers posed
by radioactive emissions must be communicated to our descendants of at least 10,000 years hence.
So the task became one of finding a way to tell future societies about the risk posed by these deadly
deposits.
2
Of course, human society in the distant future may be well aware of the hazards of radiation.
Technological advances may one day provide solutions to this dilemma. But the belief in constant
technological advancement is based on our perceptions of advances made throughout history and
prehistory. We cannot be sure that society won't have slipped backward into an age of barbarism*
due to any of several catastrophic events, whether the result of nature such as the onset of a new ice
age or perhaps humankind's failure to solve the scourges of war and pollution. In the event of
global catastrophe, it is quite possible that humans of the distant future will be on the far side of a
broken link of communication and technological understanding.
3
The problem then becomes how to inform our descendants that they must avoid areas of potential
radioactive seepage* given that they may not understand any currently existing language and may
have no historical or cultural memory. So, any message dedicated to future reception and
decipherment must be as universally understandable as possible.
4

Vòng 1- Trang 4 / 9
It was soon realized by the specialists assigned the task of devising the communication system that
any material in which the message was written might not physically endure the great lengths of time
demanded. The second law of thermodynamics shows that all material disintegrates over time. Even
computers that might carry the message cannot be expected to endure long enough. Besides,
electricity supplies might not be available in 300 generations. Other media storage methods were
considered and rejected for similar reasons.
5
The task force under the linguist Thomas Sebeok finally agreed that no foolproof way would be found
to send a message across so many generations and have it survive physically and be decipherable by
a people with few cultural similarities to us. Given this restriction. Sebeok suggested the only possible
solution was the formation of a committee of guardians of knowledge. Its task would be to dedicate
itself to maintaining and passing on the knowledge of the whereabouts and dangers of the nuclear
waste deposits. This so-called atomic priesthood would be entrusted with keeping knowledge of this
tradition alive through millennia and in developing the tradition into a kind of mythical taboo
forbidding people to tamper in any way with the nuclear waste sites. Only the initiated atomic
priesthood of experts would have the scientific knowledge to fully understand the danger. Those
outside the priesthood would be kept away by a combination of rituals and legends designed to warn
off intruders.
6
This proposal has been criticized because of the possibility of a break in continuity of the original
message. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that any warning or sanction passed on for millennia
would be obeyed, nor that it could survive with its original meaning intact. To counterbalance this
possibility, Sebeok's group proposed a "relay system" in which information is passed on over
relatively short periods of time, just three generations ahead. The message is then to be renewed
and redesigned if necessary for the following three generations and so on over the required time
span. In this way information could be relayed into the future and avoid the possibility of physical
degradation.
7
A second defect is more difficult to dismiss, however. This is the problem of social exclusiveness
brought about through possession of vital knowledge. Critics point out that the atomic priesthood
could use its secret knowledge to control those who are scientifically ignorant. The establishment of
such an association of insiders holding powerful knowledge not available except in mythic form to
nonmembers would be a dangerous precedent for future social developments.

A. to contrast the potential life span of knowledge with that of material objects.
B. to give the basic scientific reason behind the breakdown of material objects
C. to show that knowledge can be sustained over millennia.

priesthood"?
A. Because they would be an exclusive religious order.
B. Because they would develop mythical taboos surrounding their traditions.
C. Because they would use rituals and legends to maintain their exclusiveness.
D. Because they would be an exclusive group with knowledge about nuclear waste sites.
8. According to the author, why did the task force under Sebeok propose a relay system for passing
on information?
A. To compensate for the fact that meaning will not be stable over long periods of time.
B. To show that Sebeok's ideas created more problems than they solved.
C. To contrast Sebeok's ideas with those proposed by his main critics.
D. To support the belief that breaks in communication are inevitable over time.
9. According to paragraph 7, the second defect of the atomic priesthood proposal is that it could lead
to
A. the possible misuse of exclusive knowledge.
B. the establishment of a scientifically ignorant society.
C. the priesthood's criticism of points concerning vital knowledge.

UNLIKELY BOOMTOWNS: THE WORLD’S HOTTEST CITIES
Megacities like London, New York and Tokyo loom large in our imaginations. They are still associated
with fortune, fame and the future. They can dominate national economies and politics. The last fifty
years has been their era, as the number of cities with more than ten million people grew from two to
twenty. But with all respect to the science-fiction novelists who have envisioned a future of urban
giants, their day is over. The typical growth rate of the population within a megacity has slowed from
more than eight per cent in the 1980s to less than half that over the last five years, and numbers are
expected to be static in the next quarter century. Instead, the coming years will belong to a smaller,
far humble relation - the Second City.
Within a few years, more people will live in cities than in the countryside for the first time in human
history. But increasingly, the urban core itself is downsizing. Already, half the city dwellers in the
world live in metropolises with fewer than half-a-million residents. Second Cities - from exurbs,
residential areas outside the suburbs of a town, to regional centres - are booming. Between 2000 and
2015, the world’s smallest cities (with under 500,000 people) will grow by 23 per cent, while the next
smallest (one million to five million people) will grow by 27 per cent. This trend is the result of
dramatic shifts, including the global real-estate bubble; increasing international migration; cheaper
transport; new technologies, and the fact that the baby-boom generation is reaching retirement age.
The emergence of Second Cities has flowed naturally (if unexpectedly) from the earlier success of the
megacities. In the 1990s, megacities boomed as global markets did. This was particularly true in
areas with high-tech or “knowledge-based” industries like finance. Bonuses got bigger, bankers got
richer and real-estate prices in the world’s most sought-after cities soared. The result has been the
creation of what demographer William Frey of the Washington-based Brookings Institute calls “gated
regions” in which both the city and many of the surrounding suburbs have become unaffordable for
all but the very wealthy. “Economically, after a city reaches a certain size its productivity starts to
fall.” Notes Mario Pezzini, head of the regional-competitiveness division of the OECD. He puts the
tipping point at about six million people, after which costs, travel times and the occasional chaos
“create a situation in which the centre of the city may be a great place, but only for the rich, and the
outlying areas become harder to live and work in”.

Vòng 1- Trang 6 / 9
One reaction to this phenomenon is further sprawl - high prices in the urban core and traditional
suburbs drive people to distant exurbs with extreme commutes into big cities. As Frey notes, in the
major US metropolitan areas, average commuting times have doubled over the last fifteen years.
Why does one town become a booming Second City while another fails? The answer hinges on
whether a community has the wherewithal to exploit the forces pushing people and businesses out of
the megacities. One key is excellent transport links, especially to the biggest commercial centres.
Though barely a decade old, Goyang is South Korea’s fastest-growing city in part because it is 30
minutes by subway from Seoul.
Another growth driver for Second Cities is the decentralisation of work, driven in large part by new
technologies. While more financial deals are done now in big capitals like New York and London than
ever before, it is also clear that plenty of booming service industries are leaving for “Rising Urban
Stars” like Dubai, Montpellier and Cape Town. These places have not only improved their Internet
backbones, but often have technical institutes and universities that turn out the kinds of talent that
populate growth industries.
Consider Montpellier, France, a case study in urban decentralization. Until the 1980s, it was like a big
Mediterranean village, but one with a strong university, many lovely villas and an IBM manufacturing
base. Once the high-speed train lines were built, Parisians began pouring in for weekend breaks.
Some bought houses, creating a critical mass of middle-class professionals who began taking
advantage of flexible working systems to do three days in Paris and two down South, where things
seemed less pressured. Soon, big companies began looking at the area: a number of medical-
technology and electronics firms came to town, and IBM put more investment into service businesses
there. To cater to the incoming professionals, the city began building amenities: an opera house, a
tram line to discourage cars in the city centre. The result, says French urban-planning expert Nacima
Baron, is that “the city is now full of cosmopolitan business people. It’s a new society”.
All this means that Second Cities won’t stay small. Indeed some countries are actively promoting their
growth. Italy, for example, is trying to create tourist hubs of towns close to each other with
distinctive buildings and offering different yet complementary cultural activities. Devolution of
policymaking power is leaving many lesser cities more free than ever to shape their destinies. To
them all: this is your era. Don’t blow it.
