In many parts of the world cars play an essential role in daily life and many societies would cease to function without them. So, the claims that in 20 years’ time, no one will own cars may be hard to believe. But this is the prediction made by a team of transport researchers who are taken seriously, not only by governments but also by car manufacturers. The Human Science and Advanced Technology Institute at Loughborough in the U. K. is part of an international research program. The team there believes that by 2020 all cars will be computerized which will mean gigantic fuel savings, no accidents and better use of roads. The super-intelligent car of the 21st century will drive itself, and it will not be owned by one individual. Instead, we will have a choice of cars and change them as frequently as we change our clothing. According to Dr. David Davies, who leads the research team, these predictions are based on the rising cost of the car culture, which had blocked up our cities, polluted our air, and caused more deaths than both world wars put together. Davies says, cars will be fitted with intelligent cruise-control devices to regulate the distance between one car and another. Brakes and accelerators will become redundant because the car will automatically speed up, or slow down, to match the speed of the car in front. Computers are much safer drivers than people, so cars and trains will be able to drive much closer together than cars driven by people. By 2010, David Davies maintains, car technology will give motorists a clear view of the road, whatever the weather conditions, by projecting an image of the road ahead onto the car’s windscreen. And, by 2020, cars will travel in convoy, linked to each other electronically. Cars will be connected by an electronic towbar to the car in front to form“road-train“. “The front vehicle in such a train would burn the normal amount of fuel, “ says Davies. “ But all the others in the train would burn about ten percent of the normal amount, and so produce about ten percent of the pollution. “

A．Motorists will get a clear view of the road.

B．The weather conditions will not have effect on motorists.

C．There will be a decrease in the pollution caused by car.

D．All trains will burn less fuel than present.

A．cars play a very important role in daily life

B．many societies would stop functioning without car

C．car should not be owned by one individual

D．it causes more and more agonies to human society

Which of the following will be the characteristic of the cars of 2020?

A．Brake and accelerator will play more important role in cars.

B．We will own as many cars as we want.

We know from the passage that governments and car manufactures______.

A．do not believe the prediction that no one will own cars by 2020

B．are dedicated to the technological innovation in car industry

C．consider the predictions made by the researchers seriously

D．have put the super-intelligent car into mass production

As a third-generation native of Brownsville, Texas, Mildred Garza never planned to move away. Even when her daughter and son asked her to move to San Antonio to help with their children, she politely refused. Only after a year of friendly discussion did Ms. Garza finally say yes. That was four years ago. Today all three generations regard the move as a success, giving them a closer relationship than they would have had in separate cities. No statistics show the number of grandparents like Garza who are moving closer to their children and grandchildren. Yet there is evidence suggesting that the trend is growing. Even President Obama’s mother-in-law , Marian Robinson, has agreed to leave Chicago and move into the White House to help care for her granddaughters. According to a study from grandparents, com, 83 percent of the people said Mrs. Robinson’s decision will influence grandparents in the American family. Two-thirds believe more families will follow the example of Obama’s family. “In the 1960s we were all a little wild and couldn’t get away from home far enough or fast enough to prove we could do it on our own, “ says Christine Crosby, publisher of Grand, a magazine for grandparents. “ We now realize how important family is and how important it is to be near them, especially when you’re raising children. “ Moving is not for everyone. Almost every grandparent wants to be with his or her grandchildren and is willing to make sacrifices, but sometimes it is wiser to say no and visit frequently instead. Having your grandchildren far away is hard, especially knowing your adult child is struggling, but giving up the life you know may be harder.

These aspects of her personality I came to know gradually over the coming months. What struck me first were the outward things, her animation and expressiveness. I couldn’t tell whether this was something she was born with, or whether the projection of emotion which she had learned as an actress had become second nature. When indignant, her eyes would flash fire, when happy she would laugh unrestrained like a child. She had not remarried because she had not found anyone for whom she could care enough and who would respect her independence.

我们的身体夜晚需要休息，白天需要清醒。大多数人的身体每晚需要8到8．5个小时的睡眠才能正常运转。找到更多的时间、更好的睡眠方法可能是个挑战。科学家已经确认了80多种不同的睡眠紊乱症(sleep disorders)。有些睡眠紊乱症是遗传的。但是，许多睡眠紊乱症是由于熬夜，经常跨时区旅行以及上夜班而引起的。
