It has been a dream for 30 years but now the world’s first flying car is set to hit the roads this year.
Ever since the “Back to the Future” movies lit up our screens in the 1980s，designers have dreamt of cars that could take to the sky at the push of a button．And now pilots can order their own “roadable” plane for just £ 127,000.
The plane, which has fold-out wings that span(翼展)17.5ft，has a range of flying distance of 460 miles and can be up to 115 mph．Back on the land，it can also travel at“highway speeds”in car mode(模式)．
Fueling the 19ft. long plane couldn’t be simpler----you just drive it into a petrol station and fill it up．
A spokeswoman said, “You can keep you ‘light-sport airplane’ in your garage.But because it needs a short runway to take to the air, you will have to drive to your local airport，fly up to 460 miles, land，and drive directly to your destination．You will always be ready to drive or fly．"
The spokeswoman added,“Never let bad weather change your trip.You call simply divert(改道)and continue on the ground until the weather clears.”
There is no risk to you—This is only the chance for you to be the first at your home field to unfold your wings and fly into the future．

In eighth grade, I decided to try out for my school musical. I only made it through the first verse(节) before the drama teacher stopped me. It goes without saying that my Christmas song didn’t get me any role.
Am I embarrassed? NO. Not just because it was ten years ago, but also because it’s such a great story to share. Why? I think the main reason is that admitting mistakes makes you easier to relate to. Interestingly enough, science confirms this theory.
Researchers have conducted many studies and have concluded that when someone makes a mistake or acts in a clumsy way, they are found to be more likeable. In other words, if you’re able to do well and then you mess up, it shows your human side. This allows others to connect and relate to you, which in turn makes them like you more.
Growing up, I was type of student who had to get straight A’s and the type of athlete who always had to perform at the top of the game. The problem was that my standards were so ridiculously high that I was never happy. It was only when I learned to let go and forgive myself for my mistakes that I truly felt relaxed.
When one of your close friends or family members makes a mistake, are you quick to forgive and forget? Sadly, many of us often express more sympathy for others than ourselves. With each mistake coming a lesson, you will be better equipped to handle life’s challenges going forward.
More importantly, if you are always worried about looking silly, you will never be able to get improved. Even if you make a fool of yourself, it isn’t the end of the world. Think about it: What’s the worst that can happen? In many cases, the reward often outweighs the risk.
1.By writing the passage, the author wants to tell us ________.
A. it is time to forgive others
B. everyone may make mistakes
C. it’s okay to make mistakes
D. what can be done to forgive our mistakes
2.What does the underlined part “this theory” probably refer to?
A. A mistake makes you more likeable.
B. An embarrassed person tends to act clumsily.
C. People mess up in life at times.
D. It’s good to share a great story with others
3.According to the passage, we know the author ________.
A. is pleased with her hard work
B. was once a person who wants things to be perfect
C. was happy with her high standard
D. never forgives herself for the mistakes she made
4.What message is delivered in the last two paragraphs?
A. Making a fool of yourself.
B. Viewing mistakes as learning opportunities.
C. Admitting mistakes is risky.
D. People tend to feel sorry for themselves.

An American psychotherapist (理疗家) Glenn Doman wrote a best-selling book called How to Teach Your Baby to Read in 1963. Now translated into 17 languages, this book arose from his work with brain-damaged children in Pennsylvania. Doman and his team of specialists had wondered why brain-injured children didn't improve with treatment. Then they realized that orthodox(传统的) methods of treatment only relieved the symptoms, not the problem, which of course was the brain itself. So they develop a new approach. "All we do for all the children here is to give them visual, auditory (听觉的) and tactile (触觉的) stimulation with increased frequency, intensity and duration, in recognition of the orderly way in which the brain grows," says Doman. "The result was that by 1960 we had hundreds of severely brain-injured two-year-olds who could read and understand." The team had discovered that even children who had half their brains removed could, by stimulation, achieve higher IQs than the average normal child.
Then the team began to think if such amazing results could be achieved with brain-damaged children, what would happen if the same treatment were given to normal children? So eight years ago the Better Baby Institute was opened for the benefit of normal children. The same stimulating environment was provided, and by the time the children left, around seven years old, they could generally speak and read three foreign languages, play a musical instrument, read three full-length (标准长度的) books a week and do all the other things that a so-called "normal" child could do.
In Doman's view, the child's passion to learn during the years up to six must be fed. He believes that, like muscles, the brain develops with use, especially so in those first few years.
Nowadays, parents come from all over the world to Pennsylvania to see and learn from the work of Doman and his team; they want to discover how they can fulfill their roles as nature's teachers, by using their love, understanding and instincts for the benefit of the children. For in the words of Doman, "every child born has a greater potential intelligence than Leonardo da Vinci used".
1.Glenn Doman discovered in his research that brain-damaged children improved then they ________.
A. got the right treatment
B. were taught to read and understand
C. could speak several languages
D. got relief of their symptoms
2.The passage suggested that Doman's new approach was to ________.
A. give shorter periods of decreased stimulation
B. increase the number of types of stimulation
C. decrease the time between the periods of stimulation
D. intensify the shorter periods of stimulation
3.From the information given in the text, we can assume that ________.
A. brain-damaged children generally have high IQs
B. children with only half a brain are more intelligent
C. brain-damaged children can overcome their disability
D. most normal two-year old children can read
4.At the Better Baby Institute ________.
A. unnatural development of children was achieved
B. children developed at a normal standard rate
C. the idea of "normal" achievement was challenged
D. children needed seven years to develop normality
5.Parents come to the Institute because they want ________.
A. their children to become as intelligent as Leonardo da Vinci
B. to learn how to teach their children about nature
C. to develop their own abilities to help their children
D. their children to develop instincts of love and understand

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中的两项为多途选项。
It is necessary but difficult for English beginners to memorize new words, and long lists of words seem to make the task impossible. They are puzzled why they try to memorize words with great efforts but forget them easily. That's why there are often inquiries about how to memorize new words. 1. Here are some tips to help.
2. We too often separate the process of new words memorization from pronunciation. In fact these two can be combined and each will enhance the other. Saying the word to ourselves helps activate hearing memory, which helps the memory. 3. The more familiar we are with the word, the greater chance we will have to keep it for the rest of our life.
Never memorize single English words. 4. Relate the word to terms we already know, either as synonym（同义词） or antonym（反义词）. For example, the word "gargantuan" is similar in meaning to words "gigantic", "huge" and "large". Make a order of words: "small, medium, large, gigantic, and gargantuan".
Create a mental image of the word that involves strong emotions. Think, "The gargantuan whale is going to swallow me whole".
Learning English words requires action. Complaining how difficult it is to memorize new words will be of little help. 5. Have a try with ten words a day and you will see what a difference you will make in our English learning.
A. So take action right now.
B. Speak the word while memorizing it.
C. Memorizing new words is very important.
D. Actually, some have given up learning new words.
E. In fact, learning new words needn't be that difficult.
F. Make as many associations and connections as possible.
G. The sound of word helps us recall the spelling and familiarizes us with the word.

Do you want to live with a strong sense of peacefulness, happiness, goodness, and self-respect? The collection of happiness actions broadly categorized as “honor” help you create this life of good feelings.
Here’s an example to show how honorable actions create happiness.
Say a store clerk fails to charge us for an item. If we keep silent, and profit from the clerk’s mistake, we would drive home with a sense of sneaky (暗中的) excitement. Later we might tell our family or friends about our good fortune. On the other hand, if we tell the clerk about the uncharged item, the clerk would be grateful and thank us for our honesty. We would leave the store with a quiet sense of honor that we might never share with another soul.
Then, what is it to do with our sense of happiness?
In the first case, where we don’t tell the clerk, a couple of things would happen. Deep down inside we would know ourselves as a type of thief. In the process, we would lose some peace of mind and self-respect. We would also demonstrate that we cannot be trusted, since we advertise our dishonor by telling our family and friends. We damage our own reputations by telling others. In contrast, bringing the error to the clerk’s attention causes different things to happen. Immediately the clerk knows us to be honorable. Upon leaving the store, we feel honorable and our self-respect is increased. Whenever we take honorable actions we gain the deep internal rewards of goodness and a sense of nobility.
There is a beautiful positive cycle that is created by living a life of honorable actions.
Honorable thoughts lead to honorable actions. Honorable actions lead us to a happier existence. And it’s easy to think and act honorably again when we’re happy. While the positive cycle can be difficult to start, once it’s started, it’s easy to continue. Keeping on doing good deeds brings us peace of mind, which is important for our happiness.
1.According to the passage, the positive action in the example contributes to our ________.
A. advertising abilityB. financial rewards
C. self-respectD. friendly relationship
2.The author thinks that keeping silent about the uncharged item is equal to ________.
A. lyingB. stealingC. cheatingD. advertising
3.How will we feel if we let the clerk know the mistake?
A. We’ll be very excited.
B. We’ll feel unfortunate.
C. We’ll have a sense of honor.
D. We’ll feel sorry for the clerk.
4.Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?
A. How to Live Truthfully
B. Importance of Peacefulness
C. Ways of Gaining Self-respect
D. Happiness through Honorable Actions
