Have you ever seen a car without a driver?It sounds crazy,but these computer﹣driven driverless cars will soon be filling roads near you.Companies like Google and Tesla have been designing and testing these cars,and the technology is there.

So how?The cars have sensors(感应器)all around which can find other cars and objects in the road.Road signs are read by cameras,and satellite navigation systems(卫星导航系统)are used so the car knows how to get where you want to go.All you have to do is type in the address! Finally,a central computer system takes in all the information that it receives from the sensors and cameras and works out when to speed up,stop and turn.

Sound like your idea of heaven?Sitting back,looking out of the windows and even watching a film or reading a book while‘driving' would be possible with this new technology.You wouldn't have to worry about remembering directions to where you're going.In addition,computers would also drive more safely than people﹣they would obey the rules and have quicker reaction times when in dangerous situations.

However,there are many drawbacks of driverless cars.Computers would have difficulties making ethical(道德的)decisions:if a child ran into the road,would the computer choose to hit the child or turn suddenly and potentially kill the car's passengers?Moreover,I personally find driving fun﹣I'd miss never driving a car myself.There would also be many other decisions to be made﹣should children,or drunk people,be allowed in a driverless car by themselves?Or would there need to be a person with a driving license in the car at all times?

I'm not certain I'd want a driverless car﹣but it's only a matter of time before they'll become more affordable and popular on our roads.

42.When using a driverless car,you need only   

A.read the road signs carefully             

B.check the cameras

C.put the address into the computer        

D.remember the directions

43.The third paragraph mainly tells us about the   of driverless cars.

A.instructions         

B.standards          

C.advantages       

D.tests

44.The underlined word "potentially" in Paragraph 4 means "  ".

A.possibly         

B.successfully         

C.especially       

D.naturally

45.What's the writer's opinion about future driverless cars?  

A.They'll use less energy.

B.They'll be less expensive.

C.They'll cause more accidents.

D.They'll run much faster.

Do you like to solve problems for children?Listed below are probably three of the best answers.

I want to stay a kid forever.I love my birthday,but I don't want to be older.

﹣﹣﹣﹣Haddie,Washington

The great thing about growing up is that it doesn't happen all at once.Day after day,you'll have new experiences which can be scary,but it can also be fun.

Kids tease(嘲笑)me because I'm the slowest runner in my class.What can I do?

﹣﹣﹣﹣Tiona,Oregon

We're sorry to hear that.These kids may be looking for attention,and if you don't give it to them,they may stop.

If that doesn't work,you could try replying with kindness.Sometimes kind words are the best answer to them.If the teasing continues,be sure to talk to someone who can help.If improving your running speed is something you'd like to work on,you could also ask your gym teacher for advice.

I want to rant a little about cell phones.Here are a few things I hate about them.

I hate it when people tum cell phones on in the movies to check their messages.When someone turns a cell phone on in the movies,I want to turn on a flashlight and point it at their faces.

I hate it when people talk loudly on cell phones in libraries,in quick bookstores,on buses or on trains.Do these people really think we want to hear their conversation?It's not very interesting,to be honest.They're usually talking about what they ate for breakfast,and we can't hear the other end of the conversation(although I'm pretty sure the other side of the conversation is just as boring).

I hate it when people answer their phone calls while I'm talking to them,and then,in front of me,continue a long conversation.I also hate it when people text while I'm siting at dinner with them.This is probably the worst thing people do on cell phones.This sends the message to the person you're eating with that "You are not interesting or important enough.I'd rather text my other friend.Obviously,I like this other friend much better than I like you."

I saw a girl yesterday standing in front of the Pacific Ocean.The sun was setting.The sky was pink,orange,and blue.The waves were rolling onto the beach.She was looking down at her little pink cell phone,testing something.She did not look up once.I really wanted to tell her,"A"

38.People usually rant about things that make them   

A.angry

B.embarrassed

C.sad

D.disappointed

A.while reading in a library

B.while walking at the beach

C.while watching movies in the theater

D.while eating dinner with someone else

40.The writer probably   

A.hates people who have cell phones

B.talks loudly on her cell phone on buses

C.tries to use her cell phone politely

D.calls someone often at breakfast

41.What would the writer probably say at the end of the passage?

My best friend Jenny and I got to the mall for shopping.She held up a white sweater and matching skirt."Do you like this?"she asked.

"It's great,''I said.Jenny nodded and continued looking whiIe I moved about,touching the beautiful clothes."I'll try this on."Jenny walked towards the dressing room.After a while,she came out in the outfit(一套衣服).She looked beautiful.

     I sighed.Part of me wanted to say how good she looked.but another part stopped the words coming out.Jenny was in such good shape that she'd look good in the outfit.Sometimes,I regretted choosing a best friend who was so pretty.God,why can't I be the one with the rich parents and the great look?More and more,I was envious(妒忌的)of her.

"Well,Teresa,what do you think?"Jenny asked more than once."Do you like it?''

     The outfit looked great on her,but I lied,"Not really.I think you need something with more colors.''

"You think so?"Jenny said doubtfully.

"Just believe me.We'll find something better,"I told her,pushing her back into the dressing room."You just can't buy the first thing you see."I did my best to get Jenny out of the store,away from that outfit.As we left,Jenny gave the sweater one last look.

     Just down the mall,we passed a yogurt place."My treat,''Jenny said,pulling out her wallet.

     I could never say no to chocolate,so we got some and sat down at a table.As Jenny talked without stopping about a million things,I thought about my feelings toward her.Those feelings weren't kind.

     Sitting there,                   Jenny was attractive(吸引人的)not just because of her good luck,but more because of her kindness.Treating me to chocolate was far from her only show of generosity.She also let me drive her car and borrow her clothes.

     Finishing our chocolate,we headed for the next clothing store."Look at that red sweater.''Jenny said as we passed the window."It would be perfect for you.Soon maybe you'll have enough by saving your babysitting money to buy something like that."

     A few minutes earlier,all I had heard was about saving my babysitting money.I had hated the fact that Jenny could ask her parents for anything,and they'd buy it for her.This time,though,I heard more.I heard the voice of someone who loved and cared me for who I was.I needed to express the same to her.

Nowadays,kuakuaqun or praise groups have become more and more popular on the Internet,Their aim is to comfort young people.These groups provide words of support for those who are unhappy.

Spending just a little money,you can enter such a group.Share your problems or success,and you will receive positive messages soon.These messages,mostly from strangers,will help you feel better.A leader of one of the groups talks about his first purpose,"I want to help people learn to praise others and accept others,praise."

I like the idea of kuakuaqun.However,I think getting praise from strangers online isn't very useful in the long run.This is especially true when you are paying for the praise.These people don't know you,so the praise may not be earnest.Real and meaningful praise comes from the people you know.

With this in mind,we should try to praise our friends and family members when they need some encouragement.Simply saying to a classmate, 'I like you',can lift his or her confidence.Being kind to others is easy.And it adds the necessary sweetness to make everyone's life better.

strangers

All over the world the need for more laptops and computers increases each year.Networks have been part of our life.Probably everyone with a portable device (移动设备)has once logged on to a public WiFi network without paying for it,while they are having a coffee,on a train,in a shopping mall or at a hotel.However,is this kind of public WiFi network safe?

Some networks are better protected than others because encryption (加密)methods are used.Therefore,they are safer than others.But a survey in 2015 showed that more than 950 million records were not protected,including addresses,emails,birth dates,phone numbers,passwords and so on.These open WiFi networks are really not safe,because it is very easy for hackers (黑客) to break into the operating system and get people's private information.

Most smartphones and laptops,by themselves,search and connect to WiFi networks.They usually prefer a network with a connection that has been used before.Hackers'devices are able to record these searches and look like the trusted WiFi networks.When these smartphones and laptops log on to the networks which are not real,hackers can easily steal their private information.

So next time,when we want to use our laptops or our smartphones in public places which offer free WiFi networks,please think it twice or take safe measures before using them.

42.Why do people like to go log on to a public WiFi network?   

A.Because it can provide useful information.

B.Because the owner of the network is polite.

C.Because it is free.

D.Because it is safe.

43.We can learn from the passage that   

A.not all the public WiFi networks are safe

B.none of the public WiFi networks is safe

C.in 2015more than 950million records were protected

D.there is no way to protect our private information

44.Hackers would probably get the following EXCEPT   when we connect our laptops or smartphones to a public WiFi network.

D.our smartphones

45.Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?   

A.Don't Use Public WiFi Networks

Have you ever been in a conflict(冲突)?Do you know how to solve it?Conflict resolution is a peaceful way of trying to solve a conflict.Both sides in the conflict explain what they think happened to cause it.The person who listens to both sides is called the mediator(调解人).

After both sides tell what they think happened to cause the conflict,they discuss ways to solve it.They try to come up with a"resolution"that both sides agree to.They cannot be angry during the communication.Everyone should use good listening and attending skills while talking.If voices get too loud or it appears that someone is angry,the mediator will speak up and have them treat each other with respect.After different suggestions are shared in how to mediate the conflict,it is time for

discussing the best solution(解决办法).

Here is an example of how conflict resolution works step by step in a school playground setting:

●Someone says a student pushed him on the football field.

●The person who was accused as the"pusher"says it was actually an accident.

●The person who was pushed gets the mediator.

●The mediator takes the two persons to a quieter place,away from others to talk.

●The mediator calms them down and lets them know he understands their feelings.

●Each person describes what happened

●The mediator repeats what he heard,so it is clear to everyone.

●The mediator asks for ideas to solve the problem.

●The two persons offer their own solutions.

●The two persons have a discussion and come to an agreement.

●The mediator makes sure the persons follow the solution.

●The mediator offers praise for solving the problem.

Conflict resolution can be used in many environments.It encourages people to tell what really happened,to share their feelings,and to work together peacefully to solve the problem.It offers people workable steps to reach an agreement with the help of a mediator.

38.According to the passage,if two students have had a fight,they had better

D.describe the fight to teachers

Sir,I think I will tell you what happened last night.My husband Mr.Smith went to bed at about half past ten.The servants had already gone to their rooms.Only my housekeeper stayed in her room at the top of the house until I needed her.

Trying to keep a healthy diet?Be sure to read our list of the top four fake(虚假的)health foods first!

Smoothies

    They're made with tons of fruit,so they must be healthy,right?What most people don't realize,however,is that these delicious and"healthy"drinks are full of sugar and can have more calories(卡路里)than a large meal!Many smoothies have more than just fruit.Some have ice﹣cream or yogurt.You're really better off making your own smoothies at home with your own fresh fruit and low﹣fat yogurt!

Salad

    So you and your friends have stopped at a fast﹣food restaurant for a quick bite.Since you're a healthy person,you decide to get a salad.After all.it's better than anything else there,right?Don't be so sure.Salad toppings such as bacon,cheese,and dressing can make your choice of a meal just as unhealthy as eating a double hamburger.Check the facts before you take a bite.

Cereal(谷物)Bars

    A cereal bar may appear to be a healthy snack.After all,the box has a photo of healthy people eating them on a hike.But don't let the packaging(包装)fool you!Many cereal bars have as much sugar and fat as any candy bar.Read the ingredient(成分)list and make sure it's healthy before you buy.

Sushi Rolls

    Many people watching their weight prefer light sushi lunches and dinners,but be careful﹣there are some rolls that will influence your diet.Many have mayonnaise(蛋黄酱)and deep﹣fried shrimp,both high in fat.When with soy sauce,sushi rolls become very high in salt.This doesn't mean you have to cut out this delicious Japanese food together,but you do have to be careful with your choices.

(1)Salad is sometimes considered as a fake health food because  

A.salad is a kind of fast food

B.salad may have unhealthy toppings

C.salad may have ice﹣cream or yogurt

D.a salad is as large as a double hamburger

(2)What can mislead(误导)you about cereal bars?  

A.The packaging.

B.The sugar and fat.

C.The calories and salt.

D.The ingredient list.

(3)What is the main idea of the article?  

A.The best way to lose weight is to eat salad.

B.Many foods appear to be healthy but are not.

C.Hamburgers can make people put on weight.

D.Junk food is unhealthy and should be avoided.

(4)The purpose of this passage is mainly to  

A.tell people how to keep healthy

B.suggest making food at home

C.tell people to choose food carefully

D.introduce different kinds of foods.

Buying Is Doing?

    How important is shopping to you?How much time do you spend buying things?And how much time

do you spend organizing these things in your home?In the future,how much time will you spend in movie

theaters,at amusement parks,at shopping malls,or at convenience stores?When you add it all up,you will probably see you spend a lot of your life consuming(消费)things.Consuming products is not necessarily bad.However,if we spend too much time doing it,we should look at it carefully.

    Imagine that you have a week off from school.You don't have to go to class.However,in this week,

you cannot spend any money﹣﹣﹣﹣﹣no shopping,no movies,no eating out.How would you spend your time?What things would bring you happiness?Perhaps you would take a walk with your best friend.Perhaps you would help a child read.Or you might spend time with your family.

    When we look back,it is likely that non﹣consuming experiences like these will be our most important

memories.Why?Non﹣consuming activities are active,not passive.They don't come in a package.You make the experience yourself.For example,each person who reads to a child will have a different experience.The experience changes with the reader,the child,and the book.Similarly,when you have a conversation with a friend,you are actively creating an experience.The conversation that you have with your friend cannot be experienced or recreated by anyone else.However,if you watch a movie with a friend,you will each have a package experience.It requires no action and little interaction between the two of you.

    The environment we live in encourages us to have packaged experiences.We feel that we must

consume because we believe that buying is doing.However,we can start a personal revolution ( 变革) against consumerism.How?By consuming less.We can ask ourselves what experiences bring us the greatest satisfaction.Then we can organize our lives so that we have more of those kinds of experiences.

49.If consuming products takes too much time,we should   

A.spend less money

B.think about it carefully
