If cars had wings, they could fly and that just might happen, beginning in 2011.The company Terrafugia, based in Woburn, Massachusetts, says it plans to make such a car-plane called “Transition”, to customers(顾客) by the end of 2012. “It’s the next ‘wow’ vehicle,”said Terrafugia vice president Richard Gersh. “Anybody can buy a Ferrari, but as we say, Ferraris don’t fly.”
The car-plane has wings that unfold for flying—a process the company says takes one minute-and fold back up for driving. A runway is still needed to take off and land.
The Transition is being marketed more as a plane that drives than a car that flies, although it is both. The company has been working with FAA to meet aircraft regulations, and with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to meet vehicle safety regulations.
The company is aiming to sell the Transition to private pilots as an easier and cheaper way to fly.They say it saves you the trouble from trying to find another mode of transportation to get to and from airports: You drive the car to the airport and then you’re good to go.When you land, you fold up the wings and hit the road. There are no expensive parking fees because you don’t have to store it at an airport—you leave it in the car park at home.
The car-plane is designed to fly under 10,000 feet. It has a maximum take-off weight of 1,430 pounds, including fuel and passengers.
The Transition’s price tag: $194,000, But there may be something else you need to pay, like a radio, transponder or GPS and so on.
So far, the company has more than 70 orders. “We’re working very closely with them, but there are still some remaining steps,” Brown said.

You can be proud of yourselves, even if you can only make one or two of these green changes. The goal here is to limit carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, which are closely connected to the big problem of global-warming (全球变暖).
WAY 1: Bring your own cup to Starbucks. You’ll get a 10-cent discount, and it’s one less paper cup to end up in a dustbin. The store won’t create more waste when they throw away a cup.
WAY 2: Turn off your computer. When in standby mode, your PC is still using energy. Turning off a monitor (显示器) for 40 hours a week may only save $ 5 a month, but it reduces CO2 by 750 pounds.
WAY 3: Reuse plastic bags. Instead of throwing away 100 billion plastic bags a year, try and get a second, third, or tenth use out of them. Better yet, next time you shop, try a reusable bag. The amount of oil it would take to make just 14 plastic bags would run your car for one mile.
WAY 4: Use recycled paper in the bathroom. Most of the toilet paper we use is made from trees found in forests. If every family replaced(替换)one roll of toilet paper with a recycled one, 424,000 trees would still be standing.
WAY 5: Plant a tree. Adding green to your garden is beautiful and earth-pleasing. Just one tree will help make cleaner air and save the environment from 5, 000 pounds of hot carbon dioxide each year.
小题1:How many ways are mentioned(提及) in the passage?
小题2:What will happen if our PC is turned off when it isn’t in use?
小题3:Which ways suggest recycling or reusing of things?
小题4:How do these ways do good to our environment?
小题5:What is the best title for the passage?

| In the coming summer holidays, you will probably visit the Shanghai Expo. Before you head off to the Expo, please read the following tips so that you behave properly and show off China's best face to visitors from other countries. When waiting in a line Wait patiently instead of cutting to the front of the line. If you have to leave your spot in line and want to come back , tell the people standing in front of and behind you. Ask them to kindly hold your spot, and thank them when you return . When touring the Expo Don't touch or climb on exhibits. Visitors are allowed to take pictures and videos around the Expo, but when cameras are not welcome, don't turn yours on . If souvenirs are handed out , don't push and scream. Be polite and wait your turn. When attending shows If you are late, wait until the break to enter. It will disturb other audience if you walk in late. It's very impolite to leave in the middle of a musical or stage play .If an early exit is necessary, you can leave after a scene is over. Keep quiet during a performance .Before the performance starts, either turn off your mobile phone or set it to silent mode. Never answer your phone while a performance is going on . After an excellent performance, clap your hands warmly. Don't laugh at the performers when they make mistakes. When having meals Don't talk loudly at meals. With many hungry visitors waiting, don't stay too long at your table after you have finished. Politely move on to another place. | |||||||||||||||||||||
