So should we eat that last slice of cake?

The city of Victoria in Canada gave horse-drawn carriages number plates as early as 1884. And France was the first country to introduce plates in 1893. Early number plates were different shapes and sizes, and made of lots of different materials. In fact, it was not until 1957 that car manufacturers and governments agreed on standardized plates, and even today there are three different sizes.The first car registration number in the UK was A1. This was sold to Earl Russell by the London County Council in 1903. The letter “A” showed the number was from London, while the number “1” showed it was the first number issued. However, since then, the system has changed many times. At the moment, number plates in the UK consist of letters and numbers. Lets look at the registration number plate “LK51 FTN”. First of all, “LK” shows which registration office has issued the registration number (in this case, its London Stanmore). The numbers 51 show the age of the car (51 means the car was licensed in the second half of 2001). And the last three letters are random. Different EU countries use different arrangements of numbers and letters. For example, Spain uses four numbers and three letters, while Sweden uses three numbers and three letters, and Norway and Denmark use two letters and five digits. The system has changed many times because the letter-number combinations keep running out. UK number plates dont have to include the European Union symbol although most EU countries use the symbol. Some number plates have become extremely valuable, particularly those that spell out words. Basically, numbers on the plates can be used to represent words or parts of words. For example, “8” can mean “ate”; “4” can be “four” or “for”; and “2” can symbolize “to”, “two” or “too”. For example, “NVERLA8” means “Never late”. Plates that represent words or phrases are commonly known as “vanity plates”. And they can be extremely expensive. Russian businessman Roman Abramovich is supposed to have paid over 250,000 for the plate “VIP 1”. Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton has bought the plate “LEW 1S” and the most expensive number plate ever was “M1” which an anonymous buyer has acquired for 331,000. So, whats your number plate? It might be worth a fortune. 58. What can we learn from the development of car plates? A. Canada, France and UK have invented three different plate sizes. B. In terms of giving car plates, Canada acted much earlier than France. C. UK has always been consistent in its system for car registration numbers. D. Car producers and governments cooperated to form standards for plates.59. Why have EU countries had to change their systems of arranging numbers and letters? A. No such agreement has been reached among different EU countries. B. Much confusion has arisen from different digits adopted by EU countries. C. Old letter-number arrangements were not adequate for increasing needs. D. The British design of number plates differs from that of most EU countries.60. “LEW 1S” has fetched a high priced mainly because _. A. it can be read out just the way of its masters name B. Lewis Hamilton believes that it can bring luck to him C. the public consider it as a symbol of higher social classes D. it has a long history and is different from current EU platesCPsychological stress is likely to surface during a human mission to Mars. Prof Jeff Johnson thinks an on-board “comedian” could keep spirits up during the long journey. He is drawing on his research on the differing teambuilding approaches of competing polar explorers Roald Amundsen and Robert Falcon Scott to prove his point. Amundsens team made it to the South Pole and back while Scotts died on the return journey. Well, Roald Amundsen actually put people through tests before they set off to make sure that they would take orders and, in particular, whether they would challenge any of them. Amundsen would set up situations where there would be an ambiguous context to see what their responses would be, and if somebody questioned him, they were out. However, if you read Amundsens diary, he writes that Lindstrm, the cook, was basically the most important person on the expedition. Lindstrm was the comedian. He didnt actually go to the South Pole, but youve got to remember that the walking expedition was a small component of the overall time that they were on the ice. They were there for well over a year, waiting to walk to the Pole. They had to wait during the winter and its a very tense time when people are idle (懒散的). Lindstrm played an essential role in keeping the peace in the group when there were tense moments, and he would do something funny to get everybody to laugh, which would break the tension.There are individuals who have these certain natural abilities that you want to be able to recognize and include when youre putting together groups that are going to be isolated, such as those going into space. There are a number of different roles that weve discovered are important, but one of them is somebody who has humour. Thats clearly important. So, youd want to have somebody like Lindstrm, somebody who is not only good at what they have to do (he was a very good cook) but who also has another skillset beyond whats in the job description. We can put people together thinking that theyre going to work together in a certain way, but over the course of time a crisis is bound to happen. There are the kinds of things that make groups more adaptable and help them function better. You can think about it in terms of atoms: when you put different elements together, they produce different kinds of things. Its the same with people. They may have their own characteristics, but when you put them together, theyre going to create a different kind of situation and we want to have a better idea of what that might be.61. By comparing Amundsen with Scott, the author intends to _. A. contradict his previous statementsB. introduce the topic of the passage C. illustrate the importance of a comedianD. emphasize the necessity of team spirits62. What was the very quality Amundsen was valuing in his interview? A. Willingness to take orders.B. Optimism about success. C. Eagerness to make progress.D. Curiosity about mysteries.63. For what reason was Lindstrm regarded as a key figure on the expedition? A. He went against the command of the Amundsen in every circumstance. B. He could make up many jokes about other team members to ease tension. C. Besides cooking tasty dishes, he was capable of easing tension when it arose. D. When a vacancy app
