On September 16th, 2022, some students showed their car on a US tour to universities and companies from the East Coast to Silicon Valley.
It is a kind of sporty car but it is the special one. It is called ZEM, short for zero emission mobility, as the beginning letter of the name shows it gives out zero carbon. It has two seater houses with a battery box, and most of its parts are 3D printed from second hand things.
“We are just to make a better and clearer future，” said Jens Lahaije, a manager of the Eindhoven University of Technology student team that made the car.
Compared with common cars, such electric cars give out no CO2, but the battery can also make our air around us dirty and dangerous. So, the cost of dealing with it isn't low.
Cleaning the air by getting CO2 in is a pretty new way for a car. The students made it come true in this kind of car, ZEM. The idea is quite useful: while we are driving, the air will move through cars and the CO2 will be got in.
The Eindhoven team thought ZEM uses two machines that get 2 kg of CO2 over 32，186 km of driving, later these machines can be emptied at stations when they take in more electric to let the car work.
As for carbon emissions, the European Union made strict rules years ago, and most European car companies began to move to electric cars, but they didn't make more wonderful cars than that one, ZEM.
( )48. According to the passage we learnt ____ made ZEM.
A. a car factory
B. a manager of a company
C. the students from Eindhoven University
D. the teachers from Eindhoven University
( )49. What will happen to ZEM if people drive it
( )50. In the fourth paragraph, the writer wants to tell us ____.
A. ZEM is very cheap
B. people don't like ZEM
C. ZEM also has a disadvantage
D. some common cars are better than ZEM

Without inventions, we can't have a happy life. So since I was young, I've dreamed of inventing something that can help to improve the environment. Several days ago, I came up with a good idea for my invention. It's a special box which is used for holding waste. It can move and speak different languages. As soon as people throw away waste on the ground, it will be cleaned up by the box at once. At the same time, the box will tell people not to do that again. Of course, my box won't cost too much. In this way, more cleaners and money can be saved. What do you think of my invention Will it be helpful in improving the environment
Thank you for listening!
