Your Car Is Ready for Take-off
The flying car has been talked about for many years，but now it appears that the idea is about to become a reality.
An international company has built a two-seater plane that, at the touch of a button ，transforms into a car perfectly suitable for driving on public roads. It has been designed so that the wings fold up automatically； and it takes just 15 seconds to switch between flying and driving. With its wings fully open and the propeller(螺旋桨）spinning, it can take off from any airfield.
Flying cars are quicker than traditional ones for travelling from city to city，and they can run on ordinary fuel. Another big advantage is that they are cool ，like something you would see in an action film. At the moment 9 however, the flying car’s wheels are illegal to leave the ground. That is not because of technical reasons or problems with the design. It is because the various road and aircraft authorities simply cannot agree on whether it is a car or a plane.
“The government and the authorities have never thought seriously about a flying car, says Alan Price ，the president of the company that has developed it. “I wanted a car that could fly and drive ，but it is difficult to find an organization prepared to insure the vehicle against accidents.
Nevertheless ? the company hopes to produce and deliver its first flying car soon. The company already has orders for 40 of them. The majority the potential customers are older and some are retired。There have even been orders from some people who have no pilot's license.
The flying car will cost around $ 200.000. “For an airplane ， that’s a very reasonable price， but for a car, It's quite expensive，” explains Alan. “But it just is not possible to make a $ 10，000 flying car yet. ”
This latest means of transport will not become a mass-market item in the near future，but in the long term it has the potential to change the way you travel. It will become no more expensive than driving your car on the motorway. Travel time could be reduced by more than half.
So the next time you are told to fasten your seat belt, it may be to prepare for take-off.
【小题1】We know from the passage that the flying car______
| A．has to run on special fuel | B．will replace traditional planes |
| C．is popular with the rich | D．can shift between two forms |
| A．many people think driving it not very safe |
| B．it’s hard to decide whether it's a car or a plane |

One of the greatest sources of unhappiness，in my experience，is the difficulty we have in accepting things as they are．
When we see something we don’t like，we wish it could be different．We cry out for something better．That may be human nature，or perhaps it’s something ingrained(根深蒂固的) in our culture．The root of the unhappiness isn’t necessarily that we want things to be different．However, it’s that we decided we didn’t like it in the first place．We’ve judged it as bad，rather than saying, “It's not bad or good，and it just is it．”
In one of my books，I said“You should expect people to mess up and expect things to go differently than you planned”．Some readers said it's too sorrowful to expect things to go wrong．However, it’s only negative if you see it as negative and judge it as bad．Instead，you could accept it as the way the world works and try to understand why that is．
This can be applied to whatever you do：how other people act at work，how politics works and how depressing the news media can be．Accept these things as they are，and try to understand why they’re that way．It will save you a lot of sadness，because you’ll no longer say,“Oh．1 wish bad things didn’t happen!’’
Does it mean you can never change things? Not at a11．But change things not because you can’t accept things as they are，but because you enjoy the process of changing，learning and growing．
Can we make this world a better place? You can say that you’11 continue to try to do things to help others，to grow as a person，to make a difference in this world．That’s the correct path you choose to take，because you enjoy that path．Therefore，when you find yourself judging and wishing for difference，try a different approach：accept，and understand．It might lead to some interesting results．
1.The author believes that we feel unhappy maybe because ___________.
A．it is our natural emotion in the life
B．culture asks us to be different from others
C．everyone has their own opinions on things
D．we dislike something in the beginning
2.Some readers think the words in the author’s book is too ______________.
A．depressing B．frightening C．delighting D．idealistic
3.In Paragraph 4，the underlined word "it" refers to ____________．
A．acting well at work and in politics
B．feeling depressed for the news media
C．accepting and understanding what has happened
D．saying something negative when bad things come
4.In the last paragraph，you are advised _____________．
A．to help others and make a difference
B．to enjoy what you have to do in the work
C．to judge yourself and make a wish for you
D．to try a new way when making the world better
5.What is the main theme of the passage?
A．Expecting things to be different gives us hope．
B．Accepting can make our life happier and better．
C．Traditional culture becomes root of unhappiness．
D．Judging good or bad is important for our world．

In my experience, one of the greatest reasons of unhappiness is the difficulty we have in accepting things as they are．When we see something we don’t like, we wish it could be different–we cry out for something better．That may be human nature, or perhaps it’s something that has been grown in our culture．
The root of the unhappiness isn’t that we want things to be different, however, it’s that we decided we didn’t like it in the first place．We’ve judged it as bad, rather than saying, “It’s not bad or good, but it just is．”
Here is an example．I have written a paper, A Beautiful Method to Find Peace of Mind．Quite a few people think it bad after reading it because I think people should expect things to go differently than you planned, and that you should accept that, instead of encouraging people to change themselves or the environment as much as possible．You could accept it as the way the world works–as the way things actually are．And try to understand why that is, and follow it, as it is．
This can be useful to whatever you do: whether it be how other people act at work, how politics works and how depressing the news media can be．Accept these things as they are, and try to understand why they’re that way．
It’ll save you a lot of sadness because you’ll no longer say, “Oh, I wish things didn’t go bad!”
If you really understand what I mean, you can try a different way to live in this world:accept, and understand．It might lead to some interesting results．
1.What is the major reason why we feel unhappy in the writer’s opinion?
A．We are never satisfied with ourselves and the environment around us．
B．When we see something that makes us unhappy, we don’t know what to do．
C．We feel hard to accept the way things happen themselves．
D．No matter how happy we are, we never want to be happy．
2.What do you think the writer may say to himself when he meets something unhappy?
A．How could I have made such a stupid mistake?
B．I should have done better．It’s all my fault．
C．Why is it all against my plan? It can’t be so bad．
D．Well, I know all is what it is meant to be．Take it easy．
3.Why do some people think badly of the writer’s new paper after reading it?
A．The writer hasn’t shown an encouraging attitude in his paper．
B．The writer asks people to try to make things better．
C．The writer reminds the people that things will go exactly as you’ve planned．
D．The writer doesn’t think it a good idea to accept the things go naturally．
4.The statements below are based on the writer’s points of view, EXCEPT_______
A．Unhappiness may be caused by human nature that we always want things to be better．
B．Why we don’t like the thing is that we have regard it as bad in the beginning．
C．The news media shouldn’t be so depressing if the reporters worked harder．
D．The best way to avoid feeling unhappy is to accept the things as they are．
