In this sense the future is opposed to the past (the set of moments and events that have already occurred) and the present (the set of events that are occurring now).Warming up by welcome to the City of the FutureOur present-day cities are already obsolete and are threatening to engulf the entire countryside, permanently destroying vast areas of our best food-producing land.Victory City is the wave of the future. Its an entire city all under one roof, to be built and operated by private enterprise alone. There will not be just one, but many such cities throughout the entire world.Boasting no crime, no pollution, and no over-crowding, Victory City is a veritable utopia for those whove grown weary of trying to find solutions to todays urban problems.Welcome to the City of the Future.Step 2: Before you readPlease go over the word list for this module, paying attention to the pronunciation of the word, the relationship between its pronunciation and its spelling.Step 3: While you read1.
