Free energy is everywhere around us. There are many ways to make and collect energy from various sources like sun, wind and water. People also realize that everyday stuff can be a source of energy too. For example, riding a bike, running or just walking, etc. We simply have to change our way of thinking if we want to change the world.
So comes the idea of solar roadways. Are they the road of future? Why use roads just for driving and collecting tolls (过路费)? Why don’t we use them for collecting energy?
The US Department of Transportation recently awarded $100,000 to Solar Roadways to build the first ever Solar Road Panel. So how do these future roads work?
The Solar Road Panels will contain embedded (嵌入的) LEDs which “paint” the road lines from beneath to provide safer nighttime driving as well as to give drivers instant instructions such as detour (绕行) ahead. The road will be able to sense wildlife on the road and can warn drivers to “slow down”. There will also be embedded heating elements in the surface to prevent snow and ice buildup, providing safer winter driving.
Replacing asphalt (沥青) roads and parking lots with Solar Roadway Panels will be a major step toward stopping climate change. Fully electric vehicles will be able to recharge along the roadway and in parking lots, finally making electric cars practical for long trips.
We just can’t wait to see more of these roads all over the world in the near future.

Everyone has experienced trying but failing to master a difficult book, which was begun with the hope of increasing one's understanding. When that happens, it is    16  to think that it was a mistake to try to read it, but that was not the mistake. The mistake was in    17   too much from the first reading of a(n)   18   book. If you read it in the right way, no book written for the    19    reader, no matter how difficult, need be a cause for despair (绝望).
What is the right method? The    20   is an important and helpful rule of reading that is either not known or often forgotten. That rule is simply this: when reading a difficult book for the first time, read it through without ever    21   to think about the things that you do not understand immediately.
Do not be stopped by what you can't understand. Read through the difficult    22   , and you’ll soon come to things that you do understand. Read these    23   . You will have a much better chance of understanding all of the book when you read it again, but that    24   you to have read the book through once    25   .
What you understand by reading the book through to the   26   will help you when you try later to read the places that you did not    27    in your first reading. Or if you never re-read the book, understanding half of it is much better than understanding nothing of it, which will happen if you allow yourself to be stopped by the first difficult part of the book.
Most of us were taught to    28   the things that we do not understand. We were told to find the  29  of unfamiliar words, and to try to find an explanation in another    30   for anything that we did not understand in the book that we were reading. But when these things are done before the proper time, they only harm our reading, instead of helping it.
16. A. necessary              B. useful                    C. natural                  D. effective   
17. A. learning                  B. hoping                   C. accepting       D. expecting              
18. A. easy                 B. difficult                   C. important      D. correct                
19. A. ordinary           B. young                   C. serious                  D. sincere                
20. A. method           B. question       C. answer                 D. problem               
21. A. starting            B. hesitating       C. stopping       D . repeating 
22. A. words             B. articles        C. parts         D. points                 
23. A. quickly              B. immediately     C. clearly         D. carefully              
24.A. requires     B. causes                     C. advises                     D. allows             
25.A. later       B. after                      C. before                    D. again              
26.A. top        B. end                       C. bottom                    D. cover 
27.A. see        B. turn                      C. notice                      D. understand         
28.A. put away     B. put down                  C. think aloud                 D. think about         
29.A. uses        B. meanings                 C. spellings                    D. troubles           
30.A. thinking     B. reading                    C. book                D. way
