Would you like to have an electric car? We will see this kind of cars soon in America. These quiet, clean cars run on electricity. Carmakers will start selling electric cars in 2011.
The world’s population will jump from 6.8 billion to 9 billion by 2050. The need for cars will jump with it. But the oil(石油) won’t keep up with the number of cars on the road. So the price of oil will go up.
Electric cars aren’t perfect just yet. It can take eight hours to charge(充電) a car for only 100 miles of driving. And the distance(路程) that cars can go depends on driving conditions(條件). How far it travels depends on the weather and traffic.
Price is a problem, too. Electric models cost much more than oil-powered cars. The good news is that electric-car technology is getting better. As it does, the prices of this kind of cars are dropping.
To charge the car, the US Department of Energy is paying for at least 10,000 charging stations around the country. Private businesses are also getting ready for it. It will cost about $3 for each charge.
Carmakers are coming up with other ways to make the car cleaner and cheaper. Cars may run on clean diesel(柴油). So who knows what will power the car you may be driving in 10 years? The chances are that it will be something that’s clean and easy.
小題1:The electric cars are ________.
A. large and noisy
B. large and quiet
C. clean and quiet
小題2:Paragraph Two mainly tells us the reason why ________.
A. electric cars appear    
B. the population is growing

B. The cars can’t be driven fast and they’re dangerous.
C. The cars take a long time to be charged and they cost too much.
小題5:From the passage we know that ________________.
A. electric cars will be more expensive
B. nobody knows what will power the cars in 10 years

Do you know that each child in school catches six to ten colds every year? Though there is no cure for colds, there are some suggestions for you to avoid getting a cold.
First, you can avoid catching a cold by practicing healthy habits. Begin by eating healthy foods. Eat lots of fruits and vegetables and drink milk and juice. Other healthy habits include getting plenty of sleep at night and lots of exercise.
Next, you should try to avoid contact with the viruses that cause colds. If you can, stay away from large crowds. When people cough(咳嗽) and sneeze(打噴嚏), the cold virus goes into the air.

In one way, it may be thought that failure（失�。﹊s a part of life. In another, failure may be regarded as a step towards success.
The "spider-story" is often told as an example of this. Robert Bruce, leader of the Scots in the 13th century, was hiding in a hole on a hill from the English. He watched a spider(蜘蛛) making a web. Bruce is said to have got confidence from this and to have gone on to beat the English. Edison, too, the inventor of the light bulb(電燈泡) , made hundreds of models that failed before he found the right way to make one.
So what? First, always think about your failure. What caused it? Were you in high spir¬it then? What can you change so that things will go right the next time?
Second, is the goal(目標) you are trying to reach the right one? Try to do some thinking about what your real goals may be. Think about this question: "If I am successful in this, where will it get me?" This may help to prevent failure in the things you shouldn't be doing anyway.
The third thing to remember about failure is that it's a part of life. Learn to "live with yourself” even though you may have failed. Remember, "You can't win them all. “
小題1:Robert Bruce was mentioned in the passage to show that        .
A．people who fail are not lonely
B．a(chǎn)nimals can help people sometimes
C．nature will help us if we are hard-working
D．confidence is important for one to be successful
小題2:Edison's example shows us that        .
A．he liked to do other kinds of work
B．he invented many kinds of light bulbs
C．failure may be a way towards success
D．he was a man of many important inventions
小題3:If you are not sure about what success will get you, you'd better         .
A．change your goalB．go on with your goal
C．not care for thatD．work even harder on your goal
小題4:It can be learned from the passage that        .
A．one should try not to fail
B． one's failure is another's success
C．one should take failures seriously
D．one should learn lessons from failures
小題5:This passage is mainly about        .
A．two great men
B． two sides of failure
C．ways to keep away from failure
