24、 What would the world be like if cars could drive themselves? Imagine seeing an empty car passing by on its way to pick up its owner, or a car full of passengers who are reading, listening to music or even sleeping. But none of them are worried about the road ahead.
Well, all of this could be the future of driving. There are several companies, including Google, working on driverless (无人驾驶) cars. These cars are now in testing (测试). If the tests are successful, these self-driving cars can be used very soon. But how is it possible for a car to drive itself?
Some cars already have many features (特点) allowing them to take the place of drivers during certain situations. Some features include cars being able to park themselves, or slow down when they discover objects close by. They can also control the speed (速度) if there are dangerous conditions, such as snow or wet roads.
Other features have also changed the way drivers deal with some situations. Scientists believe, with the help of wireless signals (无线信号), cameras and GPS, making a safe self-driving car can be possible. The cause of serious road accidents is usually careless driving or dangerous conditions. The self-driving car may be able to prevent (阻止) these. However, some people do not like the idea. American lawyer White Drake, for example, doesn’t believe these cars are safe. He thinks that technology can also make mistakes.
【1】Driverless cars ________.
A.cost more than normal car B.make the road safer C.can’t control the speed D.are still in testing
【2】From the passage, we know some cars already have the ability (能力) to ________.
A.park themselves B.pick up their owners
C.prevent all the dangerous situations D.refuse careless drivers
【3】According to scientists, safe driverless cars can work well with the help of ________.
A.American lawyers B.excellent drivers
C.wireless signals, cameras and GPS D.scientists and passengers
【4】What’s the passage mainly talked about?
A.The successful tests of driverless cars.
B.Driverless cars will take the place of normal cars soon.
C.To introduce the advantages (优点) and disadvantages (缺点) of driverless cars.
D.The future of driverless cars.

26、“My dear Mr. Bennet,” said his lady to him one day, “have you heard that Netherfield Park is let(出租) at last?”
Mr. Bennet replied that he had not.
“But it is,” returned she, “for Mrs. Long has just been here, and she told me all about it.”
Mr. Bennet made no answer.
“Do not you want to know who has taken it?” cried his wife impatiently.
“You want to tell me, and I have no objection(反对) to hearing it.”
This was invitation enough.
“Why, my dear, you must know, Mrs. Long says that Netherfield is taken by a young man of large fortune from the north of England; that he came down on Monday to see the place, and was so satisfied with it that he agreed immediately with Mr. Morris, the owner of Netherfield, and some of his servants are to be in the house by the end of next week.”
“What is his name?”
“Bingley.”
“Is he married or single?”
“Oh! Single, my dear, to be sure! A single man of large fortune; four or five thousand a year. What a fine thing for our girls! It is probable that he may fall in love with one of them, and so you must visit him as soon as he comes.”
“I see no chance for that. You and the girls may go, or you may send them by themselves, which perhaps will be still better; for, as you are as handsome as any of them, Mr. Bingley might like you the best of all.”
“But, my dear, you must indeed go and see Mr. Bingley when he comes into the neighbourhood.”
“It is more than what I should do, honestly speaking.”
“But consider your daughters. Sir William and Lady Lucas have decided to go, for in general, you know they visit no new comers. Indeed you must go, for it will be impossible for us to visit him, if you do not.”
But in fact Mr. Bennet was among the earliest of those who waited to visit Mr. Bingley. He had always planned to visit him, though to the last always lying to his wife that he would not go.
(Adapted from Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen).

B.Surprised and crazy.

【2】Why did Mr. Bennet show no interest in Mr. Bingley’s moving there when his wife talked about it?
A.Because his daughters were not pretty enough.
B.Because his wife was prettier than his daughters.
C.Because he didn’t want to show his true feelings to others.
D.Because he didn’t care about his daughters’ happiness.
【3】Why did Mrs. Bennet mention “Sir William and Lady Lucas”?
A.To show Mr. Bingley was well worth visiting.
B.To show Sir William and Lady Lucas were their friends.
C.To show it was polite for a couple to visit a new comer together.
D.To show Sir William and Lady Lucas were too proud to get along well with.

Chicken eggs are just thin shells(壳) made of mineral(矿物), but you may be surprised how strong they are: What you need: *Four eggs *A bowl *A pen *Scissors or a knife *A piece of paper *Some books What to do: STEP 1: Use the scissors or knife to break a hole in the small end of each egg. Empty out what’s inside into the bowl. Wash and dry the shells. STEP 2: Draw a fine line around the widest part of each egg. Break away the shell between the line and the hole slowly. STEP 3: Put shells in a square at the four corners of the piece of paper, with the round end of the egg on top. STEP 4: Place books gently onto the four egg shells one after another, and see how many books you can add before the egg shells break down! What happened: The strength of an eggshell lies in its shape. It’s like a 3D arch(拱形) or dome(穹顶圆屋顶), which is one of the strongest shapes. The shape of the eggshell spreads pressure all over the whole egg, rather than at one point. In fact, the shape of the eggshell is seen in many types of architecture, including doorways and large windows. The strong walls of the shell will support the weak point. At right conditions, the thin eggshell can even hold up 20 kg of weight! |

I had mixed feelings today, nervous, worried, happy, excited... My went down when Miss Chen, our head teacher, said that Matthew and Beth, two from England, would spend three months with us!

Another English student, Beth, is the most helpful girl I'vc ever met. There were lots of things to do the first day. Beth offered to help Miss Chen all the notices. Of course, some of the credit (功劳) should also go to me I translated some of the notices for her. Miss Chen praised us!
We finished all the preparations 10 minutes earlier than expected, then Beth and I talked for a while. Matthew sang several English songs and did some stand-up comedy (单人喜剧表演) at the party. We all him. When the bell rang to the first school day, none of us wanted to leave.
When I went back home, I felt happy. I have probably spoken more today than the whole of last year.
It was a happy day! I hope our friendship can continue, even after they have gone back to England!
