1、 Do you “worship” your parents?
After I came to China, I started hearing the word “xiaoshun” a lot. It is often translated into English as “filial piety”. However, I think the translation “parent worship” is easier to understand. The basic idea behind “parent worship” is that children should always listen to their parents and do everything they can to make their parents happy.
I think many Chinese people I know would agree with the idea. I guess it is a nice idea, in theory(理论上). But I also have some Chinese friends who would disagree.This is because they have had to do things they didn’t want to, just because their parents told them to_______For example, one of my good friends had to break up with her boyfriend because her parents thought he didn’t make enough money. “孝顺”似乎有时候也是不公平的。
Most kids in the US, especially teenagers, would probably disagree with “parent worship”, too. In fact, arguing with one’s parents and being rebellious (叛逆的) is common for US teens. 我经常与我的父母就家规进行争论,而且我也不总是遵守那些规矩。
I think the best way is somewhere in the middle. Most, if not all of us, love our parents and try our best to respect(尊重) them. So of course we should follow their rules and try not to stress them out (使紧张). On the other hand, parents should respect their kids as well and give them some reasonable freedom and independence.

25、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.
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?
A. Two. B. Five. C. Eight. D. Seven.
【4】 Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Google cars have pedals.
B. Google cars hit some other cars.
C. All car companies in the world are working on self-driving cars.
D. There is an “Autopilot” in Tesla self-driving cars after September 2014.
【5】Which of the following can be the best tittle of the passage?
A. What’s your favourite car?

28、An extract from The Greatest Tales of Sherlock Holmes
I think I will tell you what happened last night. My husband Sir Eustace went to bed at about half past ten. The servants had already gone to their rooms. Only my housekeeper s【1】 in her room at the top of the house until I needed her.
I sat until after eleven in this room, deep in a book. Then I walked round to see that all was right before I went u【2】 . I always did this myself, to be sure that everything is OK. I went into the kitchen, the store room, the living room, and f【3】 the dining-room. As I came near the window, which is covered with thick curtains, I suddenly felt the wind blow on my face, and realized that it was o【4】. I pulled the curtain to one side, and found myself face to face with a broad-shouldered, elderly man who had just walked into the room, The window is a long French one, which really forms a door leading to the lawn, By the light of my bedroom candle, I saw two other men entering behind the first. I was so scared, trembling. I s【5】 back quickly, but the man was on me in a moment. He caught me first by the wrist and then by the throat. I struggled to scream, but he hit me heavily over the eyes, and I fell to the ground.
I must have been unconscious for a few minutes. When I woke up, I found that they had torn down the bell-rope and had tied me tightly to the c【6】 standing at the head of the dining table. I was so firmly bound that I could not move, and a handkerchief round my mouth prevented me from making any sound. It was at this moment that my unfortunate husband came into the room. He had c【7】 heard some suspicious sounds, and he came prepared. When he rushed at one of the burglars, another man bent down and took the poker(拔火棍) out of the fireplace and struck him heavily as he passed. My husband fell without a groan(呻吟)and never moved again.
