25、   Barbara was driving her six-year-old son, Ben, to his piano lesson. They were late, and Barbara was beginning to think she should have called it off. Barbara, a nurse at the local hospital, was very tired at that moment. The coldest season and the terrible weather just brought them more difficulties.

“Mum!” Ben cried suddenly. “Look!” Just ahead, a car had lost control on the icy road and crashed (猛撞) into a telephone pole. Barbara stopped her car quickly and opened the door. She said to Ben, “Dear, promise me you’ll stay in the car!” “I will, Mum，” Ben said as his mum ran. She was a nurse — she might be able to help the unlucky people.

It was terrible. Two girls aged about 18 were in the car. One was dead and the other was still breathing. Barbara quickly cleaned the wounds in the driver’s head. Ben called for help on his mum’s phone. Soon an ambulance came. “Good job, Barbara, you’ve saved her life,” one doctor said as he examined the driver’s wounds.

26、   Good study habits will help you make full use of your time and learn better. Here is some advice from US scientists.

Study the same thing in different places. You may have a regular place to study-a quiet room or a corner of the school library. But scientists say it helps you to remember if you study the same thing in two different places. For example, you can read your Chinese textbooks in your classroom and in the school garden. See if you remember what you learned better than if you had read the same thing twice in the classroom.

Don't just learn one skill at a time. Have you ever seen athletes training? They usually do strength, speed and skill training together. Our brain works like that, too. It is better at learning different skills than just one at a time. For example, if you are studying English, you may want to study  vocabulary, grammar and reading all at the same time.

Space out（间隔开） your studying. Most of you may have had the experience of studying for a long time the night before a test. That may get you a good grade on an exam, but you will soon forget the things you learned. Scientists found that spacing improves your ability to remember things. You can study for an hour tonight, an hour on the weekend, another hour a week from now. Then you won't need to stay up all night for a test.

27、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 (无人驾驶的) cars, which are currently in the testing stages. If the tests are successful, these electric, self-driven cars could be available very soon. But, how is it possible for a car to drive itself?

Cars already have many features allowing them to take over for drivers in certain situations. Some features include cars being able to park themselves, or slow down when they detect objects (物体) close by. They can also control the speed if there are dangerous conditions, such as snow or slippery (滑的) roads.

Other features have also changed the way drivers react to some situations. Scientists and engineers believe, with the help of wireless signals, cameras and GPS, we are now at a stage where creating a safe self-driving car might be possible.

The self-driven car may be the answer to lowering the number of deadly (致命的) accidents caused by careless drivers or dangerous conditions. However, there are still some people who do not like the idea. American lawyer Whit Drake, for example, doesn’t believe these cars are safe. He thinks the possibility of the technology making a mistake will be too high.

【1】What does the underlined phrase “take over for” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A. direct the way for B. take the place of

C. work better than  D. make use of

【2】Cars already have the following features EXCEPT ________.

A. parking itself

B. controlling its speed in dangerous situations

C. slowing itself down near an object

D. avoiding car accidents one hundred percent

【3】Scientists and engineers think that ________.

A. it’s possible to make safe self-driven cars

B. it’s a long way for self-driven cars

C. there will be no drivers in the future

D. self-driven cars may cause more accidents

【4】What does the article mainly talk about?

A. Advantages of self-driven cars.

B. Different opinions on self-driven cars.

C. Possibilities of self-driven cars.

D. Google’s new technology—self-driven cars.

28、Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words（在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通顺，每空格限填一词，首字母已给）

Facts you don’t know about animals

People have already known a lot about animals. However, there are still some things about animals that may surprise you. Here are some facts about animals you probably didn’t know.

Cows

Cows do have best friends and feel stressed (焦虑的) when they are separated (分开). Sometimes they even a【1】 humans when they are too nervous and angry. However, scientists also found that cows are very social animals and a cow always makes friends with other cows in the herd (兽群). When a cow is with its friend, its heart rate is reduced compared with when it is a【2】 or with a cow from another herd. 

Penguins

During breeding (繁殖) season, a male penguin will offer a pebble (卵石) to a female penguin as a g【3】. If she takes it, they will become partners. When the female penguin lays an egg, she and her husband may c【4】 it on their feet, because some penguins don’t build nests.

Crocodiles

When crocodiles eat something, they always swallow (吞) their prey. They don’t chew it like other animals. To help with digestion (消化), they swallow stones which grind up the food in their stomachs. But these stones can h【5】 be defecated (排泄掉), so they may stay in their stomachs all their lives.

Elephants

Elephants use plants to get rid of p【6】 or other illness. Scientists once found a pregnant (怀孕的) elephant in Kenya who kept eating a kind of plant for a few days, while this kind of plant was not part of her regular d【7】. Four days later, she could give birth to a baby elephant quietly. The same plant was used by the local women to help with labor (分娩).

Do you find these facts amazing? Maybe you can introduce some of them to your friends and see how surprised they are when they know the facts!
