10.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

The Olympic flame

The Olympic Flame is a symbol carried over from the ancient Olympics, where a flame burned at the altar(祭坛)of Zeus throughout competition. It was finally reintroduced at the 1924 Amsterdam Games, and again burned in 1932.

Carl Diem, chairman of the organizing committee for the 1936 Berlin Games, proposed that the flame be lit in Greece and transported to Berlin via a torch relay. The idea was adopted(采纳) and continued at every Olympic Games since 1952. The flame is lit at the ancient site of Olympia by the natural rays of the sun reflected off a curved mirror. It is lit at a ceremony by women dressed in robes resembling those worn in ancient times, who then pass it to the first relay runner.

The Olympic motto

“Citius, altius, fortius” is a Latin phrase meaning “swifter, higher, stronger”, which Baron de Coubertin borrowed from Father Henri Martin Dideon of Paris. Dideon was headmaster of Arcueil College, and used the phrase to describe the athletic achievements of students at the school. He had previously been at the Albert Le Grand school, where the Latin words were carved in stone above the main entrance.

The Olympic oath

“In the name of all competitors, I promise that we shall take part in these Olympic Games, respecting and abiding by the rules that govern them, in the true spirit of sportsmanship, for the glory of sport and the honor of our teams.”

Written by Baron de Coubertin, the oath is taken by an athlete from the host nation while holding a corner of the Olympic flag. The athletes’ oath was first taken by Belgian fencer Victor Boin at the 1920 Antwerp Games. A judge from the host country also speaks the oath, with slightly different wording.

A. the 1920 Games

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.

7.Last week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson,Arizona.
He moved there a few years ago,and I was eager to see his new place and meet his friends.
My earliest memories of my father are of a tall,handsome,successful man devoted to his work and family,but uncomfortable with his children.As a child I loved him; as a school girl and young adult I feared him and felt bitter about him.He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A's and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as"successful"as he was.Whenever I went out with him on weekends,I used to struggle to think up things to say,feeling on guard.
On the first day of my visit,we went out with one of my father's friends for lunch at an outdoor café.We walked along that afternoon,did some shopping,ate on the street table,and laughed over my son's funny facial expressions.Gone was my father's critical (挑剔的) air and strict rules.Who was this person I knew as my father,who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around?What had held him back before?
The next day my dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood.Although our times together became easier over the years,I never felt closer to him at that moment.After so many years,I'm at last seeing another side of my father.And in so doing,I'm delighted with my new friend.My dad,in his new home in Arizona,is back to me from where he was.
