24、You know how much your telephone has changed over the past 10 years? Your car will change even more than that in the next 10 years.

One of the biggest changes is that cars will drive themselves. Some day you may not need to drive a car. You will just tell the car where you want to go and it will drive itself.

Google

The American company Google has been working on a self-driving automobile for years. These cars are already on the roads in the United States, mainly in California.

Google cars are truly self-driving. These cars have no steering wheels(方向盘) or pedals(刹车踏板).

Last week, police ordered one of Google’s cars to stop for driving too slowly on a public road. The car was not against any law, so no one was punished. But police did speak to the operators of the vehicle(车辆).

According to Google, its self-driving cars have been driven nearly 2 million kilometers. That is equal to the distance the average person drives in 90 years.

So far, no Google self-driving car has gotten a traffic ticket. Some of them have been in accidents when other cars hit them.

Tesla

Another American company, Tesla, added an “Autopilot(自动驾驶仪)” feature to its cars last month. Tesla put the feature, a computer software program, in cars that were built after September 2014.

With the Autopilot turned on, the vehicle drives itself. The car will speed up, slow down, brake and steer by itself.

You can take over driving any time by turning the steering wheel or touching a pedal. Your car will slow down if the vehicle in front of you gets closer. It will turn at bends and change lanes if you use the turn signal.

Tesla Autopilot takes over driving at speeds over 29 kilometers per hour when you press a button twice. Autopilot is made for cross-country driving. It keeps you in the lane and helps you avoid hitting other cars.

Other Self-Driving Cars and Buses

Other companies such as Mercedes-Benz, Audi, BMW, Volvo and Toyota are working on self-driving cars. Another company called BestMile is also working on self-driving buses in Switzerland. The buses can hold up to nine people and will be tested for two years.

【1】What is the meaning of “traffic ticket” in Chinese?

A. 车票。 B. 油票。   C. 交通罚单。  D. 彩票。

【2】 How far does an average person drive in a year according to the passage?

A. About 2 million kilometres.

B. About 22,000 kilometres.

C. About 90 million kilometres.

D. About 180 kilometres.

【3】How many companies are working on self-driving vehicles in all according the passage?

25、Family, it’s just a six-letter word: but to me, it is a word full of meaning. From the moment I was born, my parents showed me with love. I love spending time with my family. Hiking up Mt. Washington, going on a road trip to Las Vegas, camping in Virginia, and playing volleyball in the mud are some of the greatest and most unforgettable memories I have made with them.

The definition(定义)of the word family, in the dictionary, is a group of people related by blood. As I grow older, the definition of family continues to change. I have learned that one can have different types of families. My volleyball team and my lacrosse(长曲棍球)team are two groups of people I consider as family because during each season, they are the ones that I am always around, that can give supports, and that can give a helping hand when needed.

I like to think that my classmates are another type of family. They help me on both schoolwork and homework and explain concepts(概念)that seem foreign to me, like different slang words. They can even make me laugh although I am having one of those days when it seems like the very lousy thing is happening.

The people around me have taught me to always be there for family and that family comes first. From school, to sports, to home, I know that I am not alone, that there is someone there. Without my family and my “extended(延伸的)families”, I don’t know where I would be. I am truly lucky.

26、I was the typical“I can't”child-whatever my mother told or asked me to do was immediately followed by my cry，“I can't．”As a result，very few tasks or goals that I set out to achieve were ever completed．

One evening，my mother called me into the family room．“I want you to read this article，”Mother began．“It's about Marlo Thomas．She tells how a simple poem that she was forced to learn by her father changed her life·She went from saying‘I can't’to‘I can’·According to this article，she was able to reorganize her life and her career by learning the principles（原则）in the poem．”

I took the small magazine from Mother and looked down at the pages．There was Marlo-my idol. Beside her photo was the poem my mother had spoken of，a simple poem entitled，“I Can”．“I want you to memorize that poem，”Mother said firmly．“Mama，”I belly-ached．“I can't learn that poem．It's too long．”

“It's not too long and you can learn it．1 want you to know it perfectly by this time tomorrow，”said my mother. Unwillingly，I went back to my bedroom with the magazine．With a heavy heart，I threw myself into the bed and began my task．

“Can't is a word that is the enemy to ambition，”I began．I repeated the line．I repeated it again and again．“An enemy ambush to shatter your will…”I continued the process until I proudly recited the poem the following evening. It has now become my principle．Marlo 1 homas did not know me，but her story forever changed my life．

Saying “I can” helped me to get through the worst moments of my life: Saying “I can” encouraged me to complete things I would have otherwise seen as out of my reach. A simple poem learned at seven is a poem that will support me to seventy-seven，maybe even longer.

27、   High above Earth， more than a hundred weather satellites （卫星） are collecting information． They send pictures of cloud patterns to scientists on Earth． They also take measurements （测量） of weather conditions， such as air temperature， air pollution and lightning strikes． The meteorologists study the pictures． They make mathematical models using the measurements． The models can help meteorologists make forecasts． The models forecast how， when and where the weather will change in a few hours or in several days． They might forecast （预测） rain in your area tomorrow． If so， you might decide to take your umbrella to school．

More important， weather forecasts tell when bad weather is on the way． Floods， tornadoes， thunderstorms， and hurricanes put people in danger． Weather forecast can save lives． For example， satellites pictures taken over time show how fast a hurricane is growing and the path it is taking． People can be ready for the storm． Meteorologists are always working to make better forecasts．

The United States began using weather satellites in 1960． Today's satellites take clearer pictures and collect more information． Satellites collect information about cloud systems． They have a bird's-eye view of smoke from wildfires and of ash clouds from volcanoes （火山）． Weather satellites can also follow an oil spill on the ocean's flow． They can watch a cloud of sand blowing from a desert in Africa． Information from weather satellites is sent to supercomputers． These computers are huge， and they make mathematical models quickly．

Planes and ships need to know the weather so they can go around dangerous storms． A weather satellite can also help a ship in trouble． The satellite is part of a search and rescue （救援） system． The satellites can send a warning from the ship in danger to the U．S． Coast Guard． The Coast Guard can send out a rescue team．
