20．People in several American states may be surprised to see cars on city streets without a driver．Experimental driverless vehicles now are legal in Florida，Nevada and California．They are pointing the way to a future that is not far down the road．The high-tech company Google has a number of self-driving cars，which had covered 480，000kilometers by August．Volvo is among the companies doing road tests and says it plans to sell driverless cars by 2020．
In September，California Governor Jerry Brown signed an act to allow autonomous vehicles on the roads of his state．"Today we're looking at science fiction becoming tomorrow's reality-the driverless car．"The technology for thse cars includes cameras，radar and motion sensors．The systems have been improved through competitions sponsored by the US government agency DARPA．Engineer Richard Mason of the Rand Corporation helped design driverless vehicles for DARPA challenge races．
"Cars have become much more fuel-efficient，and new electronic features are making Hondas safer，"said Angie Nucci of Honda America．"A camera on the passenger-side mirror actually engaged on your guiding screen so you can safely change lanes．"Other safety features include warning systems on the front and the sides of the cars．These systems help drivers，but don't replace them．Curator Leslie Kendall of the Petersen Automotive Museum said autonomous cars will make the high ways safer．
"By taking out drivers，you also remove most risks of an accident，"Kendall said．He said consumers，however，may be unwilling to lose control．"It may take them time to come to realize that the technology is indeed reliable，but it will have to prove itself first．"
Mason said the technology already works and the biggest challenge now is getting down the cost for driverless vehicles from hundreds of thousands of dollars to something more affordable．He said this will happen as the technology is improved．

7．Do you sometimes argue about what seems to you to be a simple fact？Do you argue whether it's cold outdoors or whether the car in front of you is going faster than the speed limit （限速）？

Each man's idea of the animal came from his own experience．So if someone disagrees with you about a"simple fact"，it's often because his experience in the matter is different from yours．
To see how hard it is for even one person to make up his mind about a"simple fact"，try this simple experiment．Get three large bowls．Put ice water in one．Put hot water in the second．Put lukewarm water （温水）in the third．Now put your left hand in the hot water．Put your right hand in the lukewarm water．Your right hand will tell you the water is cold．Your left hand will tell you  it is hot．

4．Discoveries about the nature of DNA in the 1940s made （61）it possible for cloning experiments to progress．In 1944the discovery （62）that genetic information for each cell was kept in the cell's DNA gave scientists new ways to attempt （63）to clone （clone） animals．
The first cloned animal was a tadpole （64）which/that was cloned in 1952．Thomas J．King and Robert W．Briggs believed，based on their clones，that young cells were more viable （可生长发育的） for the cloning process than adult cells．
The next successful cloning experiments also resulted （65）in cloned frogs．John Gurdon cloned South African frogs in 1962．His experiments proved that the previous theory that adult cells were （66）unable （able） to be used in the cloning process was wrong．From 1962to 1965，more frog clones were created from adult frog cells．
While animal cloning had been the focus of cloning experiments，the 1960s also saw （67）other types of cloning．In 1964F．C．Steward （68）undertook （undertake） an experiment in which he took an adult cell from a carrot plant and successfully cloned the plant．
