24、   The children at the top of the class succeed by knowing a few basic skills that others can also easily learn. Here are the secrets of top students.

Study is the first thing. Once the books are open or the computer is on for study, phone calls are unanswered, TV shows unwatched, snacks unnoticed. Study is business; business comes before everything.

Study anywhere or everywhere. Study times are different for different children. Some work late at night when the house is quiet. Others wake early. Still others study as soon as they come home from school. It is agreed that consistency (持之以恒) is needed.

Get organized. Don’t waste time looking for a pencil or missing paper. Keep everything right where one can put one’s hands on it. Even for a student who doesn’t keep his own study area organized, a bag or a box is needed to put things in to save time.

Learn how to read. The secret of good reading is to be an active reader-one who continually asks questions that lead to a full understanding of the writer’s message.

Plan your time. If you want to be a top student, make sure to finish all your tasks before the deadline (最后期限).

Take good notes and use them. Reading the text is important, but the teacher is going to test you on what he or she emphasized (强调). That’s what you find in your notes.

Another kind of important “secret” of the top students is not so secret at all. For almost all of them, their parents’ help is important.

【1】How can we be an active reader?

A.Take good notes. B.Keep asking questions.

C.Study everywhere. D.Plan our time well.

【2】According to the passage, if a task should be completed next Wednesday, when will a top student complete it?

A.No later than next Wednesday. B.As early as possible.

C.Before Thursday. D.Whenever he is free.

【3】According to the writer, what is the real secret in becoming a top student?

A.Studying in a key school and having good teachers.

B.Attending after-school classes and educational talks as often as possible.

C.Some basic skills on how, when and where to learn.

D.born in a wealthy family and supported by the parents of high education.

25、   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．

The 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 notice objects close by．They can also control the speed if there are dangerous conditions．

Scientists and engineers believe，with the help of wireless （无线电的）signals，cameras and GPS，we are now at a stage where creating a safe self-driven car might be possible．

The cause of deadly road accidents is usually careless drivers or dangerous conditions．The self-driven car may be able to prevent these．However，some people do not like the idea．American lawyer Whit Drake，for example，doesn't believe these cars are safe．He thinks that technologies can also be mistakes．
