After years of hearing drivers complain about scratches (划痕) on their cars, Japan's Nissan Motor Company has officially announced the next big thing--a paint that not only resists scratches and scrapes, but actually repairs itself within a few days.

The new material, developed by Nippon Paint Company, contains an elastic rubbery-like resin (弹性树脂) that is able to heal minor (较小的) marks caused by car wash equipment, parking lot encounters, road debris (石头碎片) or even on-purpose destruction.

The automaker admits its results vary depending on the temperature and the depth of the damage, but adds “this is the only paint like it in the world, and tests prove it works.”

Minor scratches, the most common type, are said to slowly fade over about a week. And once they're gone, there is no trace (痕迹) that they were ever there.

The special paint is said to last for at least three years after it is first applied, but there is no word yet on whether more can be added after that period.

Nissan claims car washes are the worst offenders for this type of damage, accounting for at least 80 percent of all incidents.

But the complete auto-healing won't come without scratching your wallet. The vehicle maker notes the special paint adds about $ 100 US to the price of a car.

It plans to use its new chemical mixture only on its X-Trail SUVs in Japan for now, as it looks for a more widespread presentation. And while plans to offer the feature overseas haven't been made yet, if it's a hit there, you can be almost sure market forces will drive it to these shores as well.

1. From the article, we can find that_______.

A. the paint has already been used on cars by now

B. the paint beats other products of its kind in its lengthy effect

C. car damage is mainly caused by scratches and scrapes

D. marketing this paint in Europe is not under way

2.The paint used on cars can_________.

A. last 3 years before it is re-applied again

B. fade only in a few days

C. help cars recover from minor paint damage

D. reduce car scrape incidents to 20 percent

3.What does the underlined part refer to?

A. Certain models of Nissan. B. Name for one kind of paint.

C. Somewhere in Japan. D. A word standing for a car-dealer store.

4. What can be inferred from the article?

A. The paint was developed by Nissan Motor Company.

B. The paint might work better in summer than in winter.

C. The mark on the car could disappear as soon as the paint is applied.

D. The paint is very popular in Japan.

Maybe ten-year-old Elizabeth put it best when she said to her father. “But Dad, you can't be healthy if you're dead.”

Dad , in a hurry to get home before dark so he could go for a run, had forgotten to wear his safety belt--a mistake 75% of the US population make every day. The big question is why.

There have been many myths about safety belts ever since their first appearance in cars some forty years ago. The following are three of the most common.

Myth( 神话)Number One: It's best to be “thrown clear” of a serious accident.

Truth: Sorry , but any accident serious enough to “throw you clear” is also going to be serious enough to give you a very bad landing. And chances are you'll have traveled through a windshield(挡风玻璃)or door to do it. Studies show that chances of dying after a car accident are twenty-five times greater in cases where people are “thrown clear.”

　　Myth Number Two: Safety belts “trap” people in cars that are burning or sinking in water.

　　Truth: Sorry again. but studies show that people knocked unconscious(昏迷) due to not wearing safety belts have a greater chance of dying in these accidents. People wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having a clear head to free themselves from such dangerous situations, not to be trapped in them.

　　Myth Number Three: Safety belts aren't needed at speeds of less than 30 miles per hour

　　Truth: when two cars traveling at 30 mph hit each other. An unbelted driver would meet the windshield with a force equal to diving headfirst into the ground from a height of 10 meters.

1.Why did Elizabeth say to her father, “But. Dad, you can't be healthy if you're dead”?

2.The reason Father was in a hurry to get home was that he＿＿＿＿＿．

A. wasn't feeling very well

B. hated to drive in the dark

C. wanted to take some exercise

D. didn't want to be caught by the police

3. According to the text, to be “thrown clear” of a serious accident is very dangerous ,because you ＿＿＿＿＿．

A. may be knocked down by other cars

B may get seriously hurt being thrown out of the car

C. may find it impossible to get away from the seat

D. may get caught in the car door

4.Some people prefer to drive without wearing a safety belt because they believe＿＿＿.

A. the belt prevents them from escaping in an accident

B. they will be unable to think clearly in an accident

C. they will be caught when help comes

D. cars catch fire easily

5.What is the advice given in the text?

A．Never drive faster than 30 miles an hour.

B. Try your best to save yourself in a car accident.

C. Never forget to wear the safety belt while driving.

D. Drive slowly while you're not wearing a safety belt.
