2.I was desperately nervous about becoming car-free.But eight months ago our car was hit by a passing vehicle and it was destroyed.No problem,I thought:we'll buy another.But the insurance payout didn't even begin to cover the costs of buying a new car-I worked out that,with the loan,we'd need plus petrol,insurance,parking permits and tax,we would make a payment as much as£600a month.
And that's when I had my fancy idea.Why not just give up having a car at all?I live in London.We have a railway station behind our house,a tube station 10minutes'walk away,and a bus stop at the end of the street.A new car club had just opened in our area,and one of its shiny little red Peugeots was parked nearby.If any family in Britain could live without a car,I reasoned,then surely we were that family.
But my new car-free idea,sadly,wasn't shared by my family.My teenage daughters were horrified.What would their friends think about our family being"too poor to afford a car"?(I wasn't that bothered what they thought,and I suggested the girls should take the same approach.)
My friends,too,were astonished at our plan.What would happen if someone got seriously ill overnight and needed to go to hospital?(an ambulance) How would the children get to and from their many events?(buses and trains) People smiled as though this was another of my mad ideas,before saying they were sure I'd soon realize that a car was a necessity.
Eight months on,I wonder whether we'll ever own a car again.The idea that you"have to"own a car,especially if you live in a city,is all in the mind.I live-and many other citizens do too-in a place that has never been better served by public transport,and yet car ownership has never been higher.We worry about rising car costs,but we'd be better off asking something much more basic:do I really need a car?Certainly the answer is no,and I'm a lot richer because I dared to ask the question.

C.His life gets improved without a car.

20."Did you hear what happened to Adam Last Friday?"Lindsey whispers to Tori.
With her eyes shining,Tori brags,"You bet I did,Sean told me two days ago."
Who are Lindsey and Tori talking about?It just happened to be yours truly,Adam Freedmam.I can tell you that what they are saying is not nice and not even true.Still,Lindsey and Tori aren't very different from most students here at Linton High School,including me.Many of our conversations are gossip(闲话).I have noticed three effects of gossip:it can hurt people,it can give gossipers a strange kind of satisfaction,and it can cause social pressures in a group.
An important negative effect of gossip is that it can hurt the person being talked about.Usually,gossip spreads information about a topic-breakups,trouble at home,even dropping out-that a person would rather keep secret.The more embarrassing or shameful the secret is,the juicier the gossip it makes.Probably the worst type of gossip is the absolute lie.People often think of gossipers as harmless,but cruel lies can cause pain.
If we know that gossip can be harmful,then why do so many of us do it?The answer lies in another effect of gossip:the satisfaction it gives us.Sharing the latest rumor (传言)can make a person feel important because he or she knows something that others don't.Similarly,hearing the latest rumor can make a person feel like part of the"in group."In other words,gossip is satisfying because it gives people a sense of belonging or even superiority.
Gossip also can have a third effect:it strengthens unwritten,unspoken rules about how people should act.Professor David Wilson explains that gossip is important in policing behaviors in a group.Translated into high school terms,this means that if everybody you hang around with is laughing at what John wore or what Jane said,then you can bet that wearing or saying something similar will get you the same kind of negative attention.The do's and don'ts conveyed through gossip will never show up in any student handbook.
The effects of gossip vary depending on the situation.The next time you feel the urge to spread the latest news,think about why you want to gossip and what effects your"juicy story"might have.

17.Zulema Munoz collects seaweed in u small coastal town 100 miles south of Santiago.Chile.A good week may see her cut 1,100 pounds of seaweed from the rocks where it grows.
Muftoz is one of the 30,000 people for whom Chile's seaweed industry provides a livelihood.Throughout Latin America,the cultivation (种植)and collection of seaweed art gaining a support both as a source of food and as i\means of ensuring food security in a region where 34 million people are food insecure and poverty affects 47percent of the rural population.Countries such as Argentina,Brazil,Colombia.Cuba,Ecuador,Mexico,Peru,and Veoczuela have all explored seaweed production for food.Yet as demand outpaces  production and wild stocks have declined,more arrendon is being paid to sustainable cultivation and harvesting methods that can keep I he industry surviving.
Seaweed has n long history in South American style of cooking.The native cooking of Chile made frequent use of cochayuyo,the most abundant of the country 750 types of seaweed.Today,cochayuyo is commonly found in place of meat incharquican,a traditional   dish cooked slowly in a closed pan.
Kelp,a type of large brown seaweed,as the new vegetable h a global trend too,and for good reason,Nutritiomdly,seaweed is packed with iodine and other nutrients,and appears on trend-making menus in Google's  New York cafeteria,though it used to be thought difficult to get people to eat it.
While 83 percent of cultivated sea vegetables are produced for human consumption,we aren't just eating it.Seaweed is used in fertilizers and animal feed,and seaweed-based food additives are likely in many products in your kitchen and bathroom right now.Carrageenan,made from red seaweed,is in everything from shampoo and toothpaste to ice cream and some hot dogs.
While seaweed grows readily-there are concerns that humans  are taking too  much of the wild stuff.It is possible that overexploitation of natural  seaweed resources could lead to significant ecological,economic,and social consequences at local,regional,and even global scales.In Lalin American countries like Brazil and Peru,where the seaweed industry is based on harvesting wild  seaweed rather than cultivated,the need for environmentally friendly models is urgent,

4.The world's first self-driving taxis began picking up passengers in Singapore recently.
Select members of the public can hail(招呼)a free ride through their smartphones in taxis operated by nuTonomy,an autonomous vehicle software slartup.While a number of companies,including Google and Volvo,have beers testing self-driving cars on public roads for several years,nuTooomy is the first to offer rides to the public.
Its launch in Singapore is beating ride-hailing service Uber,which plans to-offer rides in autonomous cars in Pittsburgh soon.
NuTonomy is starting small-six cars now,growing to a dozen by the end of the  year.The long-term goal is to have a fully self-driving taxi fleet (车队)to Singapore by 2018,to help cut the number of cars on Singapore s overcrowded roads from 900,000 to 300,000.Eventually,the model could he adopted in cities around the world.nuTonomy hopes."When you are able to take that many cars off the road,it creates a  lot of possibilities.You can create smaller roads,you can create much smaller car parks,"said Doug Parker.nuTonomy's chief operating officer.
For now,the taxis only ran in a 2.5-squart-mile  business and residential(住宅的)district called"one-north",and  pick-ups and drop-offs are limited to specified locations.Riders must have an invitation   from nyTonomy to use the servicer.The company says dozens have signed up for the launch.and it plans to expand that list to thousands of people within a few months.
The cars-modified Renault Zoe and Mitsubishi i-MiEV electrics-have a driver in front who is prepared to take hack the wheel and a researcher in back who watches the cars computers.Each car is fitted with six sets of Lidar-a detection system that uses lasers to operate like radar-including one that constantly spins on the roof,There are also two cameras on the dashboard to scan for obsiiicles (障碍) and detect changes in traffic lights.
NuTonomy was formed in 2013.Earlier this year,the company was the first to win approval from Singapore's government to test self-driving cars in one-north.NgTonomy announced   a rearch partnership with Singa pore's Land Transport Authority earlier this month.
Singapore is  ideal   because  it good weather,grail infrastructrue   and drivers who tend to obey traffic rules.As a land-locked island,the city of 5.4million people is seeking creative ways to grow its economy.so it's been supportive
of autonomous  vehicle research.

61.It seems that the service of self-driving taxisA.
A.is operated with high technology
B.has passed through its initial stage
C.is supported by Google and Volvo

Nowadays, parents worry a lot because their children spend hours and hours in front of the TV screen. Because this doesn’t happen to only one specific family, many experts warn us that there can be some serious effects of children watching violence on television.

Children who become addicted(上瘾的) to TV sit down and turn on the TV as soon as they get home. Although they have lots of homework, they become absorbed in TV programs.

Since they spend tons of time watching TV, they have less time to enjoy real life activities such as playing with friends, playing outdoor sports, or enjoying other kinds of entertainment.

There are too many violent scenes on TV. Some experts say there are 25 acts of violence per hour on TV. In addition, there are many experiments by psychologists which show how TV violence influences children. Finally, people worry that children tend to imitate what they watch on TV and may start to behave more violently.

What should be done? First of all, the government should regulate TV violence. It should also encourage people to invent and develop new technology which can block violent scenes from the programs children watch. For example, with a rating system(分级制度) and the V-chip, unfit scenes of violence and sex can be blocked out. Second, parents should monitor what their children watch. At the same time, they should make their children interested in real life activities. Then when the children start to spend more time playing with friends or reading books, parents can stop their monitoring.

It is a fact that there is more violence on TV today than there was ten years ago. Moreover, violent incidents occur more frequently in real life. It’s time to realize how harmful watching TV violence is, and it’s time to keep our children from watching violence.

1.What experts really worry is that .\

A. children spend too much time watching TV

B. TV violence has a bad influence on children

C. children become addicted to TV programs

D. children have less time to do their homework

2.The author explain how the government should control TV violence by .

A. giving an example

B. giving a definition

C. making a comparison

D. presenting research findings

3.What does the underlined word “imitate” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?

A. Explain. B. Copy.

C. Ignore. D. Avoid.

4.What is the author’s purpose for writing this text?

A. To express his own worries about TV violence.

B. To ask parents to take good care of their children.

C. To inform readers of the latest situation about TV violence.

D. To call on the whole society to save children from violence.
