The Solo Trek had a 120 horsepower engine with twin fans. Only one person flies. As you fly above the roofs, you lean a little forward. You can see everything under you. You are flying like Superman.
Michael Moshier looked at the jet belt and the rocket belt that was developed 20, 30 years ago. Nothing ever came from them. People still can't fly.
Inventors have tried to make it easy for people to fly. Paul Moiler has been working on his flying car for 30 years. He now says it is ready for tests. It would take off and land vertically, go 600 miles an hour, and deliver 20 miles to the gallon. A computer would do the actual flying. He says it could be sold next year for about a million dollars.
NASA is working with Moshier to help develop his flying machine. The first users are likely to be military.
It's been 50-years since Robert Fulton invented his airphibian, a flying car. It flew, and is now in the Smithsonian Museum.
Getting dreams to fly is never easy.
The Solo Flyer is able to lift off the ground by using ______.
A．a solar powered engine
B．engine-powered twin fans
C．large flapping wings
D．rotating blades
Television has opened windows in everybody's life. Young men will never again go to war as they did in 1914. Millions of people now have seen the effects of a battle. And the result has been a general dislike of war, and perhaps more interest in helping those who suf-fer from all the terrible things that have been shown on the screen.
Television has also changed politics. The most distant areas can now follow state affairs, see and hear the politicians before an election. Better informed, people are more likely to vote, and to make their opinions count.
Unfortunately, television's influence has been extremely harmful to the young. Children do not have enough experience to realize that TV shows present an unreal world; that TV advertisements lie to sell products that are sometimes bad or useless. They believe that the violence they see is normal and acceptable. All educators agree that the "television generations" are more violent than their parents and grandparents.
Also, the young are less patient. Used to TV shows, where everything is quick and interesting, they do not have the patience to read an article without pictures; to read abook that requires thinking; to listen to a teacher who doesn't do funny things like the people on children's programs. And they expect all problems to be solved happily in ten, fifteen, or thirty minutes. That's the time it takes on the screen.
In the past, many young people（）.
A.knew the effects of war
B.went in for politics
C.liked to save the wounded in wars
D.were willing to be soldiers

When she had paid for the piano, the shop assistant asked her if she would like him to get it tuned(调音) every few months. Mrs. Peters agreed.
A few months later she heard from the shop that a man was coming to tune the piano at ten that morning. Now she had not cleaned the house yet, so it was dusty and untidy. Mrs. Peters hated having even the least amount of dirt, and felt ashamed whenever strange people saw her house like that. So she had to hurry to clean everything carefully. It meant a lot of effort, and it made her hot and tired, but anyhow, by the time the man arrived, everything was finished.
She opened the door, and the man was standing there with a big dog. "Good morning," the man said politely, "Will it disturb you if I bring my dog in, please？ I' m blind, and he leads me wherever I go."
Mrs. Peters stopped playing the piano ______.
A．because she began to work
B．when she had no room to live in
C．because her flat was too small for a piano
D．when she got married
The environmental crisis is the result of success in cutting down the morality of infants (which has given us the population explosion), success in increasing farm output sufficiently to prevent mass famine, success in getting people out of the tenements of the 19th century city and into the greenery anti privacy of single family home in the suburbs (which has given us urban sprawl and traffic jams). The environmental crisis, in other words, is the result of doing too much of the right sort of thing at large.
To overcome the problems that success always creates, one mast build on it. But where to start？ Cleaning up the environment requires determined, sustained effort with clear targets and deadlines it needed, above all, concentration of effort. Up to now we have tried to do a little bit of everything, what we ought to do first is to draft a list of priorities.
This passage assumed the desirability of ______.
A．living in comfortable family life-style
B．setting disputes peacefully
C．combating cancer and heart disease with energetic research
D．having greater government involvement in people's daily life
"They can now have some involvement in their destiny," says Adrian Owen of the University of Cambridge, who led the team doing the work.
In an earlier experiment, Owen's team asked a woman previously diagnosed as being in a vegetative state to picture herself carrying out one of two different activities. The resulting brain activity suggested she understood the commands and was therefore conscious.
Now Owen's team has taken the idea a step further. A man also diagnosed with VS was able to answer yes and no to specific questions by imagining himself engaging in the same activities.
The results suggest that it is possible to give a degree of choice to some people who have no other way of communicating with the outside world. "We are not just showing they are conscious, we are giving them a voice and a way to communicate," says neurologist (神经病学家) Steven Laureys of the University of Liege in Belgium, Owen's partner.
Doctors traditionally base these diagnoses on how someone behaves: for example, whether they can glance in different directions in response to questions. The new results show that you don't need behavioural indications to identify awareness and even a degree of cognitive proficiency. All you need to do is tap into brain activity directly.
The work "changes everything", says Nicholas Schiff, a neurologist at Weill Cornell Medical College in New York, who is carrying out similar work on patients with consciousness disorders. "Knowing that someone could persist in a state like this and not show evidence of the fact that they can answer yes/no questions should he extremely disturbing to our practice."
One of the most difficult questions you might want to ask someone is whether they want to carry on living. But as Owen and Laureys point out, the scientific, legal and ethical challenges for doctors asking such questions are formidable.
"They" in the second paragraph can be replaced by "______".
A．patients in a VS
B．researchers
C．monitoring machines
D．specific questions
Supermarket's New Strategy
One supermarket in Tokyo has managed to solve the problems of shoplifting, mistakes by cashiers, and long lines of customers waiting at the cash registers. It is Japan's advanced computer technology that has come (51) with the answers.
Shoppers at an OK supermarket on the outskirts of the city now push a cart (52) a plastic card chained to it and buy from glass cases where the goods are on display. The plastic card has a magnetic number imprinted on it. Each customer carries his or her own card, which is (53) at the exit. While shopping, the customer pushes the card into a slot beside whichever items are wanted and pushes a button or two. The glass covered vending machines are connected to a computer that (54) the price of every item in the store. Prices of every purchase are added up automatically. (55) she has finished shopping, the customer hands her card to a cashier who (56) it into the register. A second later the (57) pops out.
Shoplifting is physically impossible. Once you touch a commodity the computer remembers it no matter how you hide it or (58) you eat it on the spot.
A cashier at the OK supermarket is now able to work 15 times faster than her (59) at a conventional supermarket. Only two cashiers, (60) , are required at the store, which (61) 2,500 separate items. One man is enough to keep the vending machine filled, because whenever the stock for a certain commodity is (62) to run out, a red lamp in the computer-room (63) him.
But there are disadvantages too: a customer cannot (64) his or her mind about a purchase. Once touched, the item cannot be put back. The customer must (65) a cashier with it first and get a refund later. There are also no fresh vegetables or fish on sale—everything is prepackaged.

"Many different departments are involved, in bringing a product to market," said Hess, referring to the 2000 Neon. "A company looks into renewing a particular vehicle when its marketplace demand is good, and the profits increase our shareholder's value," explained Hess. "We look to our market research in determining which options we'll keep the same or delete, and which ones we want to add to improve our appeal."
Now that the Neon 2000 is on the market, her team will use survey and research results to determine which option packages work best for the consumer, and what improvements, if any, need to be made. And the best goes on.
Hess supervises 1 200 engineers while managing a successful life as wife and mother. Her secret, she said, is to "always try to give 150 percent in everything I do. The only way I can really balance my work and family is 'by cheating at both ends'. " "For example," Hess said, "I always take my boys to school on the first day of the year--so I come in a little late. A few times a year I leave work for a couple of hours to see my son in a play or to attend his swim meet."
Like most other successful women in the auto industry, Hess's day begins early and ends late. In her case, coaching her son's basketball game ends some of Hess's days. "Occasionally," she adds," I come in to work on the weekends to catch up on paperwork and mail and have also been known to be called to work while I am on vacation."

Every house gets its light either from daylight through the windows—which is the best to use—or from lamps or electricity;but whichever kind of light it is, the way it shines toward our book or work is a matter of great importance to the eyes.
Take a book，sit with your back toward the window，and try to read. Your shadow(影子)falls all over the page and makes it almost as bad for your eyes as if you were in a dark room.
Now turn around and face the window. The page is in the shadow again,while the bright light is in your eyes.
Try sitting with your right side toward the window. This is very well for reading, but if you were writing,the shadow of your hand would fall across the page and bother(打撹)you a little.
There is just one other way：sit with your left side to the window. Now everything is perfect for reading and for writing,too.
Whatever kind of light is in the room,the rule about the right to sit is always the same.
Which of the following is true？
A.How the light shines on our work is of much importance
B.The way the light shines on your work makes no difference
C.We needn’t care about where the light comes from
