Since 1989, Dave Thomas, who died at the age of 69, was one of the most recognizable faces on TV. He appeared in more than 800 commercials（广告）for the hamburger chain named for his daughter. "As long as it works, "he said in 1991, "Ill continue to do those commercials. "
Even though he was successful, Thomas remained troubled by his childhood. "He still won't let anyone see his feet, which are out of shape because he never had proper-fitting shoes, "Wendy said in 1993. Born to a single mother, he was adopted（收养）as a baby by Rex and Auleva Thomas of
Kalamazoo in Michigan. After Auleva died when he was five, Thomas spent years on the road as Rex travelled around seeking construction work. "He fed me, "Thomas said, "and if I got out of line, he'd beat me. "
Moving out on his own at 12, Thomas worked, first as a waiter, in many restaurants. But he had something much better in mind. "I thought if I owned a restaurant, "he said, "I could eat for free. "A 1956 meeting with Harland Sanders led Thomas to a career as the manager of a Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant that made him a millionaire in 1968.
In 1969, after breaking with Sanders, Thomas started the first Wendy's Old Fashioned Hamburgers, in Columbus, Ohio, which set itself apart by serving made-to-order burgers. With 6, 000 restaurants worldwide, the chain now makes $6 billion a year in sales.
Although troubled by his own experience with adoption, Thomas, married since 1954 to Lorraine, and with four grown kids besides Wendy, felt it could offer a future for other children. He started the Dave Thomas Foundation（基金会）for Adoption in 1992.
In 1993, Thomas, who had left school at 15, graduated from Coconut Creek High School in Florida. He even took Lorraine to the graduation dance party. The kids voted him Most Likely to Succeed. "The Dave you saw on TV was the real Dave, "says his friend Pat Williams. "He wasn't a great actor or a great speaker. He was just Joe Everybody. "

Self-driving cars might make your future travel a lot more pleasant, but they won't reduce（缓解）traffic.
Car producers have mentioned that traffic reduction is one of the many advantages of having self-driving cars on the road. The idea is that self-driving cars will reduce accidents caused by human mistakes. But experts say self-driving cars' influence on traffic will probably be bad.
Lew Fulton, a co-director at UC Davis' Institute of Transportation Studies(ITS), said that self-driving cars won't fix traffic problems unless a pricing system is put in place that discourages self-driving cars. For example, many companies are interested in programming self-driving cars to do something, which could increase traffic on the road, Fulton said.
Massachusetts lawmakers have already suggested introducing a tax（税） on driverless cars. It calls for at least $0. 025 per mile.
Traffic jams（堵塞）could also worsen as companies like Lucid Motors try to produce self-driving cars with reclining seats. People may choose to live farther outside of cities if they can travel in cars that allow them to sleep and relax. But that increases the number of people travelling in and out of cities during rush hour, Fulton said.
Without the cost of a driver, Fulton said he worries self-driving Ubers or Lyfts will become so cheap it will be hard to push people to choose car-sharing services like uberPOOL. "I think it's going to take some kind of pricing system that discourages cars without a single passenger, "he said.
Some cities have already started programmes that discourage people from taking car trips alone. For example, Chicago and New York City have set up lanes（车道）that single-passenger cars must pay some money to use. That money increases during rush hour.
28.What do car producers think of self-driving cars
A. They increase traffic slightly. B. They save buyers money.
C. They are fast. D. They are safe.
29. What do Massachusetts lawmakers suggest
A. Pushing up the running costs of self-driving cars.
B. Increasing the selling price of self-driving cars.
C. Introducing a tax on car producers.
D. Calling for drivers to avoid travelling during rush hour.
30. What will happen if there are self-driving cars with reclining seats
A. More people will live in city centres.
B. People will spend less money on transport.
C. There will be lighter traffic during rush hour.
D. People are likely to travel longer distances.
31. What's the best title for the text
A. What cars will we drive in the future
B. Why self-driving cars could be terrible for traffic
C. How can self-driving cars solve traffic problems
D. Where will we travel with self-driving cars
D

Once there was a pianist in a bar. People came just to hear him play. But one night, a lady was tired of listening to the piano and asked him to sing a song. So he did. He had never sung in public before. Now he was singing for the very first time! Nobody had expected he could sing so beautifully! All the people present had a good time and the pianist was also very happy because he found that he could sing well.
He may have lived the rest of his life as a no-name pianist in a no-name bar. Now he found, by accident, his ability to sing, so he went on working hard on singing. Later, the pianist became one of the best-known singers in the US. His name was Nat King Cole. You, too, have skills and abilities that you haven't found. You may not feel that your talent is great, but it may be better than you think. With hard work, most skills can be improved. Besides, you may have no success at all if you do nothing about your talent.

One possible version:
Dear Jim,
How is everything I'm happy to have received your letter, in which you asked me about the condition of our Spring Festival in modern society.
It is known that the Spring Festival plays an important role in China. With the development of our society, we come to realize that it is not only a festival but a valuable treasure. Thus, we pay more attention to how to make it more meaningful and how to protect the environment. Therefore, more and more people prefer electronic firecrackers to traditional ones. What's more, an increasing number of families try to do some volunteer work to help others rather than only sit and eat together.
Look forward to learning something about your Christmas Day. Best wishes.
Yours,
