19．A woman named Emily （25）renewing（renew） her driver's license was asked by a woman recorder to state her occupation．She hesitated，uncertain how to classify herself．"What I mean is （26）whetheryou have a job．"explained the recorder．
"Of course I have a job，"replied Emily．"I'm a mother．"
"We don't list‘mother'（27）asan occupation …‘Housewife'covers it，"said the recorder．
    I forgot all about her story （28）untilone day I found myself in the same situation at Town Hall．The clerk was obviously a career woman．"What is your occupation？"she asked．

16．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 480，000 kilometers 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 these cars includes cameras，radar and motion sensors．The systems have been improved through competitions sponsored by the U．S．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．

3．Taking good notes is a time-saving skill that will help you to become a better student in several ways．（16）GSecond，your notes are excellent materials to refer to when you are studying for a test．Third，note-taking offers variety to your study time and helps you to hold your interest．
You will want to take notes during classroom discussions and while reading a textbook or doing research for a report．（17）EWhenever or however you take notes，keep in mind that note-taking is a selective process．（18）F    
The following methods may work best for you．
●Read the text quickly to find the main facts and ideas in it．
●Carefully read the text and watch for words that can show main points and supporting facts．
●Write your notes in your own words．
●（19）A    
●Note any questions or ideas you may have about what was said or written．
As you take notes，you may want to use your own shorthand（速记）．When you do，be sure that you understand your symbols and that you use them all the time．（20）D   
A．Use words，not complete sentences．
B．There are three practical note-taking methods．
C．You must write your notes on separate paper．
D．Otherwise，you may not be able to read your notes later．
E．You will also want to develop your own method for taking notes．
F．That means you must first decide what is important enough to include in your notes．
G．First，the simple act of writing something down makes it easier for you to understand and remember it．
13．Have you ever noticed what happens to an idea once you express it？Just talking about it or writing it down causes you to make it clear in your own mind．How can you use this to increase your brain power？Start writing．
   By putting thoughts into words，you are telling yourself the logic （逻辑） behind what you think，feel，or only partly understand．Often，explaining a thought is the process of understanding．In other words，you increase your brain power by exercising your"explain power．"
   Try this experiment．Explain how you'll increase your brain power，even if you have no idea right now．Just start with anything，and create an explanation．For example，start with"I'll learn chess，"or"I'll read an article on the mind every week．"Explain how that will help．You'll be surprised how often this becomes a workable plan，and if you actually do this，you'll have a better understanding of your brain from now．
    Another benefit of writing is that it helps you remember．Many，if not most，highly productive people are always taking notes．You can try keeping it all in your head，but if you keep a journal of your ideas the next time you're working on a big project，you'll probably have more success．
   Want to understand a topic？Write a book about it．That's an extreme example，but if you are learning something new，write a letter to a friend about it，and you will understand it better．Want to invent something？Write an explanation of the problem，why you want to solve it，and why it is worth solving，and you're half-way there．
   Writers don't always write because they clearly understand something beforehand．Often，they write about something because they want to understand it．You can do the same．Writing will help bring you to an understanding．Give it a try．
68．What would be the best title for the text？B
A．A Way on How to Write
B．Increase Your Brain Power through Writing．
C．How to Start Your Writing
D．Brain Power Helps Improve Your Writing．
69．According to the text，writing can help you a lot in the following ways EXCEPTC

B．the ability to remember
C．the development of your interest in study
