13．Pisco is a city on the Peruvian coast，the home of Peruvian grape liquor（酒） Pisco has not only given its name to Peru's national drink，but it is also the centre of its production．
Pisco has its origins in the 16th-century Spanish conquests（征服） of Latin America and particularly Peru and Chile．There the settlers found fertile land suitable for growing grapes．These vineyards（葡萄园） were so successful that soon the settlers were exporting crops back to Europe．
At first，grapes not suitable for making wines were distilled（蒸馏，提取） into a drink，and it soon became popular with sailors who began taking bottles with them back to Europe．They named it after the town where it was bought，Pisco，which in turn had been used to name the round pot that was used to store the liquor．
In the 19th century Pisco became a popular drink with the miners who flooded to San Francisco during the Gold Rush，and in the 1940s it again became a fashionable drink in New York and Hollywood．Production gradually spread from Peru to Chile．
However，Pisco is also the topic of heated arguments between Peru and Chile，both of which claim to have invented it．They may fight bitterly over who first distilled the drink，but the rules and regulations they have placed on its production have ensured that only top quality Pisco hits the liquor store shelves．
Nowadays，Pisco is produced using both ancient and modern techniques and can be enjoyed in its pure form or used to prepare various cocktails，such as the well-known"Pisco Sour"．This is served in the best restaurants in Latin America and throughout the world．It can also be mixed with other liqueurs，fruit juice or soft drinks．The main markets for Pisco are currently the United States，Chile，Costa Rica，Venezuela and Canada．

45．It can be learned from the passage that Pisco refers to the following exceptB．
A．a city B．a sailor C．a pot D．a drink
46．The underlined sentence in the fifth paragraph impliesC．
A．Peru and Chile has been fighting for the American market of Pisco
B．It makes no difference who has invented Pisco as long as it is popular
C．Both Peru and Chile have set strict production rules to produce a quality drink
D．Pisco is produced using both ancient and modern techniques from two countries
47．What's the best title for this passage？A
A．An Introduction to Pisco B．The Production of Pisco
C．The Origin of Pisco D．A History Lesson of Pisco．

Even as Google plans to test its fleet（车队）of self-driving cars on public roads this summer，its business model remains a bit of a mystery．By 2025，as many as 250，000self-driving vehicles could be sold each year globally，according to a study by an industry research firm．
"Vehicles that can take anyone from A to B at the push of a button could transform mobility for millions of people，"said Chris Urmson，director of Google's self-driving car project．For now，Google has no plans to sell any of its self-driving cars．They are strictly for research．But they will hit public roads this summer near Google's headquarters in Mountain View，California．Previous testing has taken place only on closed courses．
The cars are built to operate without a steering wheel，accelerator（油门）or brake pedal．"Our software and sensors do all the work，"Urmson said．"The vehicles will be very basic-we want to learn from them and adapt them as quickly as possible-but they will take you where you want to go at the push of a button．"The prototype（雏形）are the first of a 100-car fleet the tech giant is building．
In the long run，Urmson sees a future of safer roads-the majority of auto accidents are caused by human error-and fewer traffic jams．Robotic cars could also shuttle people who can't drive because of age or illness．
Google has said that self-driving cars could launch new business models in which people buy the use of vehicles they don't own．The company has already tested other types of self-driving cars on public streets，including modified Lexus sport-utility vehicles，under a special permit program by the California Department of Motor Vehicles that requires a human driver at the controls．
The state has issued six other companies permits to operate such cars，including Delphi，Mercedes-Benz，Volkswagen，Tesla，Bosch and Nissan．The vehicles that will be tested on open roads this summer will have removable steering wheels，accelerators and brake pedals to allow"safety drivers"to take control if needed．
Google says the cars are safe．The vehicles have sensors that"can detect objects out to a distance of more than two football fields in all directions，which is especially helpful on busy streets with lots of intersections，"Urmson said．"We're looking forward to learning how the community understands and interacts with the vehicles，and to uncovering challenges that are unique to a fully self-driving vehicle，"Urmson said．

63．The passage informs us that self-driving carsA．
A．will probably decrease traffic jams
B．have already passed necessary tests
C．have been purchased by some companies
D．will be able to communicate with drivers
64．According to Chris Urmson，A．
A．software and sensors are vital for self-driving cars
B．self-driving cars can give driving orders to humans
C．self-driving cars are specially designed for the elderly
D．ordinary vehicles will be replaced by self-driving cars
65．The underlined word"intersections"in the last paragraph probably meansC．
A．accidents B．buildings C．crossings D．vehicles
66．What is the best title for this passage？D
A．Self-driving Car Avoids Human Errors
B．Self-driving Car Meets New Challenges
C．Google's Self-driving Car Enjoys Global Popularity
D．Google's Self-driving Car Graduates to City Streets．

17．Dear Daughter，
As we drove off from Columbia University，I wanted to write a letter to you to tell you all that is on my mind．
College will be the most important years in your life．It is in college that you will truly discover what learning is about．I encourage you to be inquisitive，but I also want to tell you："Education is what you have left after all that is taught is forgotten．"What I mean by that is the materials taught isn't as important as you gaining the ability to learn a new subject，and the ability to analyze a new problem．That is really what learning in college is about-this will be the period where you go from teacher-taught to master-inspired，after which you must become a self-learner．So do take each subject seriously，and even if what you learn isn't critical for your life，the skills of learning will be something you cherish forever，so do your best in classes and learn．
Take care of yourself and follow your passion in college．Take courses you think you will enjoy．Don't be trapped in what others think or say．
Most importantly，make friends and be happy．College friends are often the best in life．Pick a few friends and become really close to them-pick the ones who are genuine and sincere to you．People are not perfect，so as long as they are genuine and sincere，trust them and be good to them．They will give back．This is my secret of success-that I am genuine with people and trust them （unless they do something to lose my trust）．
Please treasure your college years-make the best of your free time，become an independent thinker in control of your destiny，be bold to experiment，learn and grow through your successes and challenges．May Columbia become the happiest four years in your life，and may you blossom into just what you dream to be．
Love，
Dad （& Mom）

Ways to Stop Worrying

A little worrying now and then can be self-protective.1. But too much worrying can lead to many problems, such as reduced concentration, poor sleeping habits and the inability to handle everyday difficulties. What’s more, it may also cause physical health problems, such as high blood pressure.

Here are some tips to help you lighten up and enjoy life more.

1. Note down your worries

Writing in a worry journal helps create some distance between you and your concerns. Write down your thoughts briefly every day, perhaps the first thing in the morning, before you start your regular routine.2.

2. Pack away your worries

3. Imagine tucking (塞) away your anxieties in a small box and closing the lid (盖子). Set aside some time each day to open the box and examine your worries, but otherwise, keep it closed.

3. Share your worries with a friend

Don’t be embarrassed.4. Then, he or she may give you some practical suggestions. Telling someone your fears helps lift the burden of worry and gives your friends a chance to offer comforting thoughts.

4.5.

Select a quiet spot in your home where you can focus on your worries without being interrupted (打扰). Stay there every day for 10 to 20 minutes. Make sure you maintain a strict time limit and try to avoid worrying except when you’re in your designated (指定的) “worry space”.

A. Create a personal worry space.

B. See worries from a different perspective.

C. Talk to your friend about your worries.

D. If journal writing isn’t for you, create a “worry box” in your mind.

E. Spend about 15 minutes just writing and reflecting on what is bothering you.

F. Check with your local health centre about programs to stop worrying in your area.

G. Without anxiety you probably wouldn’t lock your door at night or schedule your regular check-up.
