B

Introductory Chemistry was taught at Duke University for many years by Professor Bonk. One year, two guys took the class and did pretty well on all the quizzes and midterms. They each had a solid A. These two friends were so confident in going into the final that the weekend before the final, despite the chemistry final being on Monday, they decided to go to the University of Vir?ginia to party with some friends.

They had a great time there. However, with their hangovers(宿醉)and tiredness, they overslept all day Sunday and didn't make it back to Duke until early Monday morning. Rather than taking the final then, they found Professor Bonk after the final and explained to him how they missed the final. They told him they went up to the University of Virginia for the weekend and had planned to come back in time to study, but they had a flat tire on the way back and didn't have a spare. So they were late getting back to campus.

Professor Bonk thought this over and agreed that they could take the final the following day. The two guys, happy and relieved> studied that night and went into the classroom the next day at the time that Professor Bonk had told them. He placed them !n separate rooms and handed each of them a test book?let. He told them to begin.

They looked at the first problem which was something simple about solu?tion (溶 液). It was worth 5 points. Cool,"they thought, "this is going to be an easy final". They then turned the page. They were unprepared, however, for what they saw on it. The question contained only two words : Which tire? (95 points)

China is going green. In order to reduce air pollu?tion and oil shortages, automobile manufacturers have announced their plans to develop hybrid vehicles(混合动力车辆)for the Chinese market. Toyota's hybrid car Prius will be ready to drive in China this week. Let's have a look at the new car.

Any vehicle is a hybrid when it combines two or more sources of power. Hybrid cars run on a recharge?able battery and gasoline. Hybrid cars have special engines, which are smaller than traditional gasoline engines. They run at 99 per cent of their power when the car is cruising(匀速行驶).A specially designed bat?tery motor provides extra power for running up hills or when extra acceleration is needed.

Step into a Prius, and turn on the engine. The first thing you notice is how much quieter it is than a tradi?tional car. At this point, the car's gasoline engine is dormant(休目民).The electric motor will provide power until the car reaches about 24 km/h. If you stay at a low speed, you are effectively driving an electric car, with no gasoline being used, and no waste gas gives off.

The on-board (车载的)computer makes the decision about when to use a gas engine, when to go electric, and when to use a combination of the two. If you go over 24 km/h, when you step on the gas pedal (油门),you are actually telling the computer how fast you want to go.

The electronic motor recharges automatically using a set of batteries. When driving at high speed, the gasoline engine not only powers the car, but also char?ges the batteries. Any time you use the brake, the elec?tric motor in the wheels will work like a generator and produce electricity to recharge the batteries. As a conse-qiience, the car's batteries will last for around 200,000 miles.
