A)Don't be too surprised if you see a car going down the road without a driver in Beijing these days. It might be one of baidu's self-driving cars. Last month, Baidu was presented with a license to test its self-driving cars on open roads in Beijing, China Daily reported.
Self-driving cars have been in development since 2010, when Google announced that it was making such cars. After that, companies like Tesla, Uber and Baidu started working to produce and test their own self-driving cars.
Self-driving cars are expected to change the way we get around. They are safer and more
environmentally friendly than regular cars. They can remove the stress of driving and allow disabled or blind people to get around more easily
But self-driving cars have their own shortcomings as well. In one test, researchers pointed a laser pointer(激光棒) at the e car’s sensors(传感器) while it was moving. The car thought by mistake that the laser beam(激光束) was in its way and slowed down or changed direction. Shortcom- ings like this could be used by people to trick self-driving cars, according to the Guardian
The software that is used to help the cars travel in the right direction may not be safe enough, reported Live Science. It may go wrong. When we use our computers or smartphones, they sometimes go wrong without any reason. But if this happened to a self-driving car, the results could be terrible. It is hopeful that improvements to the software could be a way to work out this problem.
( ) 36. Which company was the first to develop self-driving cars?
A. Google B. Tesla C. Uber D. Baidu
( ) 37. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A self-driving cars for disabled people B. Tips for riding in self-driving cars
C. Advantages of self-driving cars. D. Reasons for testing self-driving cars.
( ) 38. When sensing an obstacle(障碍物) in the road, self- driving cars will __________.
A. attack it with a laser beam B. slow down or change direction
C. crash into it to get past it D stop and move around it
( ) 39. What does the underlined word“it” refer to(指代)?
A. The laser pointer. B. The sensor. C. The self-driving car D. The street
( ) 40. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage G
A. self-driving cars will be used as taxis in Beijing in the future. B. Traveling in self-driving cars can always be safe
C. Traveling in self-driving cars may make people more relaxed
D. Researchers have found ways to solve the problems self-driving cars have

The Big Lottery is giving money to groups of teenagers between 14 and 19 who want to become active citizens. The teenagers who would like to help make the area you live in better, cleaner, safer and more friendly can actually get money for improving your local community (社区).We have $ 80,000 to give away. We are looking for young people to take part in schemes(规划) and projects near to where they live.
Here are a few easy things you could do to get started.
Meeting the neighbors: Everybody needs good neighbors. Knock onpeople's door and find out what they would like improving in your area. Set a date for a meeting and then make some plans together. If you don't want to go round to their houses, then you could always put a note through their doors.
Neighborhood watch: Neighborhood watch schemes are very popular in the UK. If you go away on holiday and leave your house, it's very nice to know that a neighbor is keeping an eye on it. It's a good way to make the area you live in safer. You could set one up easily and quickly.
Lending a hand There are often elderly people living in the neighborhood who may not be able to do the things that you can. Offer to do their shopping once a week, look after their garden for them or maybe walk their dog.
No littering Nobody likes picking up other people's rubbish, but a clean street can make all the difference. Take it in turns to go out once or twice a week and see what you can find. You never know, one day you might find something valuable.
Recycling Nearly two-thirds of your rubbish can be recycled. Some areas already provide places to people to recycle bottles, tins, plastic and paper. Find out if this is done in your neighborhood. Ifit's not, do something about it.
So go on...Just tell us what kind of project you want to join jn. Then we'll send you more details. Take positive action and help make your neighborhood a better place to live in.

四 阅读短文,回答下面5个问题,每题答案不超过6个词。
That cold January night, I was growing sick of my life in the city I lived. There I was, walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theater. I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and the life in this awful place
As I walked down the empty street under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold."Run! "I told myself and began to do so, both to keep warm and keep away from any possible danger.
About a block from my flat, I heard a noise behind me. I turned quickly, but the street was empty. The noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. I didn't realize what the noise had been until I reached my flat. It had been my wallet falling to the street.
I wasn't cold or tired any more. I ran back to where I had heard the noise. Although I searched the street for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found.
Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard a rubbish truck stop next to me. A voice called from the truck driver, Alisa Camacho? "I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? The door opened and a man jumped out. Is this what you're looking for?" he asked, holding up a small square shape.
It was nearly 3 a m. by the time I got into bed. I wouldn't get much sleep that night. But I had got my wallet back. I also had got back some enjoyment of city life

What can help us when we fail?
*Don't make yourself stop trying.
A baby learns to walk not by walking, but by falling. He doesn't give up until he learns to walk. You can do something new successfully if you keep trying. Sometimes, you may feel sad because you don't make much progress. But if you give up, your progress will come to an end.
*Understand the power of optimism(乐观)
Optimism can open you up to more possibilities than usual. To be optimistic(乐观的)means believe something good will always happen. Kids don’t ask whether they can do something or not because they know they can.
* Learn to depend on yourself first, then others.
Those who are independent(独立的)can deal with problems and stress more easily than those who aren't. And you should be more confident to be independent.
* Don't look back
Adults spend too much of their lives looking back there's nothing back there to see. A baby wouldn't learn to walk if he kept looking behind himself while trying to move forward. Spend just 10 percent more of your time looking forward and you'll find yourself in a better situation.
Failure is part of life since the earliest moment of life. It's a normal and natural part of life that is neither bad nor good---it's just how we learn. So the question isn't whether you want to fail or not, but how quickly you can accept your failure. Just learn something from it, and try again.
