I am especially interested in eco-friendly cars. Would you please give me some help?

-John Lily

John Lily,

More and more automobile companies are taking measures to create cars that do less harm to the planet. Here are some of the top green cars this year.

Tesla Roadster

This is an electric sports car. You can travel 220 miles before recharging the battery. The only problem? It will cost you $ 100 000. So, until you win the lottery or happen to find a box of gold at the end of a rainbow, let's move on to the more reasonable choices.

Aptera 2e

This electric car is much more affordable than the Tesla Roadster, with a starting price of around $25 000. Its electric motor runs 100 miles per charge. Unfortunately, it is currently only available in California through a complex booking process.

Toyota Prius

At 51 miles per gallon in the city and 48 on the highway, the Toyota Prius is one of the most fuel-efficient cars in the world. With an annual CO₂ rating of 1 968 kilograms, this car holds the first place on MSN's list of the Least Polluting Vehicles of 2009. It also has other eco-friendly features like a solar-powered ventilation(通风) system.

Honda Civic Hybrid(混合动力车)

The Honda Civic Hybrid is competitive with the Toyota Prius when it comes to fuel efficiency. It gets 40 miles per gallon in the city and 45 on the highway. It also has the second-lowest annual CO₂ figure, releasing 2 160 kilograms in a year.

Honda Insight Hybrid

With a base price of just $20 000, the Honda Insight Hybrid is the least expensive Hybrid on the market today. Coming just after the Honda Civic and Toyota Prius in terms of pollution, this fuel-efficient vehicle gets 40 miles per gallon in the city and 43 on the highway:

Besides all these, Toyota Camry Hybrid is also a good choice.

—Mary, what would you say to a holiday for the weekend?

—____. I am simply tired of life here.

A. You’re taken the words out of my mouth

B. Enjoy yourself

C. I can’t afford the time

D. Where should we go?

I support your decision, but I should also make it clear that I am not going to be _____ to it.

　　A. connected B. fastened C. bound D. stuck

I am a good mother to three children. I have tried never to let my profession stand in the way of being a good parent.

I no longer consider myself the center of the universe. I show up. I listen. I try to laugh. I am a good friend to my husband. I have tried to make marriage vows(誓约) mean what they say. I am a good friend to my friends, and they to me. Without them, there would be nothing to say to you today.

So here's what I wanted to tell you today: Get a life. A real life, not a desire of the next promotion(提升), the bigger paycheck, the larger house.

Get a life in which you are not alone. Find people you love, and who love you. And remember that love is not leisure(空闲), it is work. Pick up the phone. Send an e-mail. Write a letter. And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted.

It is so easy to waste our lives, our days, our hours, our minutes. It is so easy to exist instead of to live. I learned to live many years ago. Something really, really bad happened to me, something that changed my life in ways that, if I had my choice, it would never have been changed at all. And what I learned from it is what, today, seems to be the hardest lesson of all.

I learned to love the journey, not the destination. I learned to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back because I believed in it, completely and totally. And I tried to do that, in part, by telling others what I had learned. By telling them this: Read in the backyard with the sun on your face. Learn to be happy. And think of life as a deadly illness, because if you do, you will live it with joy and passion(热情) as it ought to be lived.

The best title of this passage probably is

A. Love your friends B. Live a real life

C. Don't waste time D. Be a good mother and wife

The underlined sentence "It is so easy to exist instead of to live" in the fifth paragraph probably has the same meaning as

A. it is so easy to keep alive but not to live a real life

B. it is very hard to live a real life

C. it is so easy to make a living

D. it is more difficult to exist than to live a happy life

What's the author's attitude toward work?

A. Do it well to serve others.

B. To earn enough money to make life better.

C. Try your best to get higher position and pay.

D. Don't let it affect your real life.

It can be inferred from the passage that

A. the author is a success in personal life

B. the author didn't try her best to work well

C. the author spent all her time caring for her children

D. the author likes traveling very much
