14．The electric revolution
The main reasons why electric cars are not more popular at present are their price and their relatively small range．
Existing battery systems only allow electric cars （33）to travel （travel） a distance of between 100and 160km．However，this distance may not be a problem for urban drivers．A recent Sydney study reported that 70 percent of journeys were 30 km or less，and recent data from the US suggests that 77 percent of trips （34）taken （take） there are 48 km or less．
An innovative company called Better Place is aiming to make electric cars an option for all drivers．It wants to see existing vehicles replaced by electric vehicles which，it says，offer a number of benefits．Firstly，they can be powered by renewable energy which produces zero emissions．（35）What is more important is that electric motors are more efficient and can convert more than 90 percent of power into movement．（36）To achieve （achieve） its aim，Better Place plans to use technology already available．
The plan is simple but revolutionary．It starts with the installation of a home charge point，and through this，the vehicle will be plugged into the electricity charge point whenever it is in the garage，typically at night．In the morning，with a fully charged battery，the car is capable of as much as 160 km in urban motoring conditions．（37）With the home charge point，the battery can be topped up by charge points at work and at supermarkets．
（38）The battery is linked to a control centre by smart technology inside the vehicle．Better Place can then ensure that the car is charged with electricity from renewable sources at the cheapest price．For （39）longer （long） trips，a navigation system directs the driver to the nearest switch station，（40）where the battery can be replaced with a charged one by a robot within a couple of minutes．

13．Third-Culture Kids
Did you grow up in one culture，your parents came from another，and you are now living in a totally different country？If so，then you are a third-culture kid!
The term"third-culture kid"（or TCK） was coined in the 1960s by Dr．Ruth．She first came across this phenomenon when she researched North American children living in India．Caught between two cultures，they form their very own．（71）B About 90percent of them have a university degree，while 40percent pursue a postgraduate or doctor degree．They usually benefit from their intercultural experience，which helps them to grow into successful academics and professionals．
（72）AIn fact many hardships may arise from this phenomenon．A third-culture kid may not be able to adapt themselves completely to their new surroundings as expected．Instead，they may always remain an outsider in different host cultures．Max，for example，experienced this fundamental feeling of strangeness throughout his life as a third-culture kid．（73）GWhile this can be a way to create a network of friends all around the world，it can be difficult for a third-culture kid like Max to maintain close friendships and relationships．
For a third-culture kid，it is often easier to move to a new foreign country than to return to their"home"country．After living in Australia and South Korea for many years，Louis finally returned to Turkey as a teenager．But she felt out of place when she returned to the country where she was born．（74）FShe did not share the same values as her friends'even years after going back home．
While a third-culture kid must let go of their identity as foreigner when he/she returns，the home country can prove to be more foreign than anything he/she came across before．The peer group they face does not match the idealized image children have of"home"．（75）C
As a part of the growing"culture"，TCKs may find it a great challenge for them to feel at home in many places．

A．Yet being a third-culture kid is not always easy．
B．In general，they often reach excellent academic results．
C．This often makes it hard for them to form their own identity．
D．However，their parents can help them see the opportunities of a mobile lifestyle．
E．Their experience abroad helps them to gain a better understanding of cultural differences．
F．Unlike other teens of her age，she didn't know anything about current TV shows or fashion trends．
G．Additionally，making new friends and saying goodbye to old ones will at some point become routine for a third-culture kid．

11．Do you forget to turn off the lights and heaters when you go out of a room？In 2040 it will not matter．They will turn themselves off and on again when you return．You will choose the temperature for each room，the lighting and the humidity．A sensor will detect the presence of a human （ and，with luck，ignore the dog!） and turn the systems on，and when the humans leave it will turn them off again．
The sensors will work through the central home computer，and they will do much more than just turn the fires and lights on and off．They will detect faulty electrical appliances，plugs or switches，isolate （切断） them so that they cannot harm anyone，and then warn you that they need repair．They will detect fire and if you are out of the house，the computer will call the fire brigade．It will also call the police if the sensors should detect an intruder （不速之客）．This will not be too difficult because the locks on the outside doors will be electronic．You will open them using your personal card-the one you use for shopping-maybe using a number known only to you．
It will be impossible to lose the key，and a housebreaker will have to tamper （拨弄） with the lock or with a window．It is not very difficult to make such tampering send a signal to the computer．
The computer will be more than a fireman-policeman-servant．It will be an entertainer，and most of your entertainment will come right into your home．It does now，of course，but by 2040"entertainment"will mean much more．For one thing，you will be able to take part actively，rather than just watching…

10．Not many were surprised when Dustin Sherrard was chosen，among a team of five，to represent Ontario at World Skills Competition in Leipzig，Germany this year．
The event，once known as the Skill Olympics，symbolizes the top of excellence in professional training where young skilled people from around the world compete in the skills of their various jobs measured against demanding international standard，which is hard to reach．
The 21-year-old，who grew up in Englehart，Ont，didn't get a medal but the experience did wonders for his confidence．Sherrard had passion for carpentry（木工） and showed promise at a very young age．"I first got interested in wood-making when I was in Grade 10，"he says．"I had taken wood shop before but it never became a hobby of mine until my school started to get hard wood into the shop classes．"
"I realized how much fun woodworking was and took all the wood-shop classes I could and started spending time in the shop after school，"he says．"I got a summer job working with my uncle and used most of the money I made to buy woodworking tools and quickly turned my dad's little shop into my own woodworking shop．"His skills and knowledge were sharpened and tested in the woodworking program．
