A．and B．or C．but D．so

I really dislike cars, and driving in general. Now, the technology of the World Wide Web allows me to complain to the entire world. So bear with me as I detail my reasons…

Driving is wasting time-I don’t learn anything. I won’t be a better person when I get in a car.

Sitting in a car is bad for you. Human bodies need to move, and poorly designed car seats only make our bodies hurt more.

Driving demands all your attention. Any small diversion (分散)of attention, like changing the radio station or yawning (打哈欠), can result in death. Who wants to die for a yawn?

Cars pollute. They make walking down the street a terrible experience.

Cars take away much of my freedom. I have to feed it gas and oil regularly, etc. It seems that I’m the slave of the car. Not to mention the thousands of dollars per year to keep it running.

Have you ever noticed the huge part of society’s resources that goes to service the car industry? Look at the number of car commercials on TV and on the radio. Look at the vast amount of land space given to gas stations, repair shops, roads, parking lots, etc. Look at the huge amount of time people spend driving and serving their cars.

__________________. Whenever someone dies in a plane crash, there’s a huge public outcry(大声疾呼) for the FAA (联邦航运局) to spend millions of dollars pouring over regulations, investigation, etc. Yet every year 40,000 people die in car crashes in the US alone! And no one seems to care. What’s going on here? How have we been so completely cheated?

Barack Obama has never been shy about comparing himself with Abraham Lincoln. He did so when he announced his presidential election in Illinois, where both he and Lincoln served in the legislature (立法机关). "The life of a tall, thin, self-made Springfield lawyer tells us that a different future is possible." Obama said. "He tells us that there is power in words and that there is power in hope." Such comparisons have continued on big and small occasions, but the most important similarity, in Obama's mind, is how he plans to govern if elected.

Obama says he admires Doris Kearns Goodwin’s wonderful Lincoln biography, Team of Rivals. "He talks about it all the time." says a top assistant. "He is particularly interested in the idea that Lincoln successfully won the hearts of many people who had run against him for President, some of them even disagree with him firmly." "The lesson is that you shouldn't let your hatred get in the way of hiring absolutely the best people." says Obama. "I think American people are practical and so I have an interest in casting a wide net, seeking out people with a wide range of expert knowledge, including Republicans, for the highest positions in the government."

"I don't want to have people who just agree with me." He says. "I want people who are continually pushing me forward and I'd be very interested in having those sorts of Republicans in my government, especially people who can speed up a responsible and logical conclusion to the Iraq war."

1.According to Barack Obama, the biggest similarity between Lincoln and himself is ______.

A. they both lived Illinois B. they served in the same office

C. both of them are black D. they have the same idea in governing

2.Obama is willing to cooperate with those who disagree with him because_______.

A. he is interested in Republicans' ideas

B. he doesn't want to show his hatred to the public

D. they may push him to make the right decisions

3.The author wrote the passage to _________.

A. compare Obama and Lincoln

B. help Obama to win more support

C. tell us something about Obama

D. announce Obama's political ideas

4.What can we infer from the passage?

A. Obama is a member of the Republicans.

B. The passage was written after the presidential election.

C. Doris Goodwin is one of Obama’s assistants.

D. In the end Lincoln was able to get the support of the people who once hated him.
