Practice Listening: Fill in the Blanks (Type In) ID: #46036 Short Ethnic Conflict
Instructions
* Fill in the missing words into the blank fields
In  America,  there  is  certainly  the  potential  for  ethnic  conflict.  Categorically,  our  colossal  metroplexes  will  not  be    in  a  post-oil  future    and  despite  the  wishes  and  yearnings  of  many  people,  the  truth  is  that  no  combination  of  alternative    will  permit  us  to  continue  living  at  this  scale.  Some  of  our  cities  will  not  make  it.  Phoenix,  Tucson,  and  other  Sunbelt  cities  will  dry  up  and  blow  .  In  Las  Vegas,  the  excitement  will  be  over.  Other  mega-cities  will  have  to  downscale  or  face  extreme  dysfunction.  One  thing  that  almost  nobody  is  paying  attention  to:  the  skyscraper  will  not  be  a  viable  building  type  in  our    future.  Six  or  seven  stories  must  be  the  practical  limit  in  a  new  age  when  electric    is  not  necessarily  as  reliable  as  it  has  been  in  our  time.  Cities    with  mega-structures  will  have  a  severe  liability.
