“Have a nice day！” may be a pleasant gesture or a meaningless expression. When my friend Maxie says “Have a nice day” with a smile, I know she sincerely cares about what happens to me. I feel loved and secure since another person cares about me and wishes me well.

“Have_a_nice_day. Next！” This version of the expression is spoken by a salesgirl at the supermarket who is rushing me and my groceries out the door. The words come out in the same tone (腔调) with a fixed procedure. They are spoken at me, not to me. Obviously, the concern for my day and everyone else's is the management's attempt to increase business.

The expression is one of those behaviors that help people get along with each other. Sometimes it indicates the end of a meeting. As soon as you hear it, you know the meeting is at an end. Sometimes the expression saves us when we don't know what to say. “Oh, you just had a tooth out? I'm terribly sorry, but have a nice day.”

The expression can be pleasant. If a stranger says “Have a nice day” to you, you may find it heart?warming because someone you don't know has tried to be nice to you.

Although the use of the expression is an insincere, meaningless social custom at times, there is nothing wrong with the sentence except that it is a little uninteresting. The salesgirl, the waitress, the teacher, and all the countless others who speak it without thinking may not really care about my day. But in a strange and comfortable way, it's nice to know they care enough to pretend they care when they really don't care all that much. While the expression may not often be sincere, it is always spoken. The point is that people say it all the time when they like.

1.How does the author understand Maxie's words?

A.Maxie shows her anxiety to the author.

B.Maxie really wishes the author a good day.

C.Maxie encourages the author to stay happy.

D.Maxie really worries about the author's security.

2.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?

A.The salesgirl is rude.

B.The salesgirl is bored.

C.The salesgirl cares about me.

D.The salesgirl says the words as a routine.

3.By saying “Have a nice day”， a stranger may________.

A.try to be polite to you

B.express respect to you

C.give his blessing to you

D.share his pleasure with you

4.What is the best title of the passage?

A.Have a Nice Day — a Social Custom

B.Have a Nice Day — a Pleasant Gesture

C.Have a Nice Day — a Heart?warming Greeting

D.Have a Nice Day — a Polite Ending of a Conversation

C. to realize D. being realized

Unseen Art wants to give the Mona Lisa and other world-famous artworks the 3D treatment so that they can be touched, making them accessible to the blind and visually impaired(受损的). “There are many people in the world who have heard of classical artworks their whole lives but are unable to see them,” say Marc Dillon, advocate for the project. “Now they can experience them for the first time and create their own impressions and opinions.”

The project is currently crowd-funding(大众筹资) on Indiegogo, offering 3D prints of the Mona Lisa for backers, which can be kept or donated to an organization serving the blind and visually impaired community. The money raised will be used to fund an online platform where the 3D files will be down-loadable for free, making 3D printable art available worldwide, anywhere there is a 3D printer.

The project strikes a personal chord(引起共鸣) with Dillon. “I was born with one arm shorter than the other. All my life, I continually had to prove that I was able to do everything I wanted to, from playing guitar and riding motorcycles to life-guarding and weightlifting. I also had an uncle who worked as a mechanic(技工) and became blind in adulthood. I saw he was able to continue to do almost anything a seeing person could do.”

To test the concept, Dillon took the first 3D print to the Blind Institute of Finland, “They were very excited to touch the Mona Lisa!”says Dillon. In a video for the project, one can see a blind woman experiencing da Vinci’s masterpiece through touch. Just like countless others throughout history, she is interested in Mona Lisa’s mysterious expression.“It’s a little bit… mysterious,” she says happily. “She wasn’t exactly a classical beauty！”

1.World-famous artworks are printed with 3D technology to ________ .

A. allow the disabled to experience by themselves

B. raise money for an online platform

C. keep those works for future generation

D. make money for themselves

2.How can the money raised be used?

A. For any printing office.

B. Other similar projects.

C. For an online platform.

D. Other famous artworks.

3.According to paragraph 3, we can know that ________ .

A. Dillon became blind in childhood

B. Dillon’s uncle was disabled too.

C. Dillon tried to become a mechanic

D. Dillon’s uncle created 3-D technology

4.After a blind woman experienced the printed works, she felt ________ .

A. disappointed B. worried C. unsatisfied D. excited

Someone is ringing the doorbell. Go and see ______.

Since Henry Ford turned it into a mass?market product a century ago, the car has delivered many benefits. It has promoted economic growth, increased social mobility and given people a lot of fun. But the car has also brought many problems. It pollutes the air, creates traffic jams and kills people. An astonishing 1.24 million people die, and as many as 50 million are hurt, in road accidents each year.

Drivers and passengers waste around 90 billion hours in traffic jams each year. In some car?choked cities as much as a third of the petrol used is burned by people looking for a space to park.

Fortunately, a new technology promises to make motoring safer, less polluting and less tendency to hold?ups. “Connected cars” — which may eventually develop into driverless cars but for the foreseeable future will still have a human at the wheel — can communicate wirelessly with each other and with traffic management systems, avoid walkers and other vehicles and find open parking spots.

Some parts of the transformation are already in place. Many new cars are already being fitted with equipment that lets them keep their distance and stay in a motorway automatically at a range of speeds. Soon, all new cars in Europe will have to be able to warn the emergency services if their on?board sensors (传感器) discover a crash. Singapore has led the way with using variable tolls (道路通行费) to smooth traffic flows during rush hours; Britain is pioneering “smart motorways”， whose speed limits vary constantly to achieve a_similar_effect. These new inventions could create a much more highly effective system in which cars and their drivers are constantly warned of dangers and showed the ways. Traffic always flows at the proper speed and vehicles can travel closer together, yet with less risk of crashing.

In the past, more people driving meant more roads, more jams, more death and more pollution. In future, the connected car could offer mankind the pleasures of the road with rather less of the pain.

1.According to Paragraph 2, the problem of parking has resulted in ________.

A.more time on the road

B.a great waste of fuel

C.even heavier traffic jams

D.increased death and injuries

2.What does “a similar effect” in Paragraph 4 refer to?

A.Reducing traffic jams.

B.Building smart motorways.

C.Setting proper speed limits.

D.Keeping steady traffic flows.

3.What is the author's attitude towards connected cars?

A.Curious. B.Doubtful.

C.Supportive. D.Disappointed.

4.Which of the following can be the best title of the text?

A.The Future of Cars: Wireless Wheels

B.The Future Traffic Management System

C.The Benefits and Problems of Cars

D.The Promising Future of Car Production
