digital cameras, cell phones and mp4 do. called “plugin vehicles”, these cars will get most of their power from electricity. their drivers wont have to stop at gas stations as often as usual.the technology is more than just cool. in our carfilled world, plugin vehicles could reduce the amount of gas we use, which keeps rising in cost now and then. besides, driving around in these vehicles may even help the environment. gasburning cars produce a lot of greenhouse gas, which causes global warming. the first companyproduced plugin vehicles could hit the roads by 2020. but engineers still have a lot of work to do to make the technology practical and inexpensive.batteries are the biggest challenge. in the pluginvehicle world, liion (锂离子) batteries are getting the most attention. these batteries can store a large amount of energy in a small package, and they last a longer time between charges. liion batteries can fit laptops, cell phones, heart instruments and other similar pocket ones.but because cars are so big and heavy, it would still require a suitcasesized liion batteries to power about 12km of driving. whats more, the batteries are much expensive.“a car filled with batteries could go a long distance,”says ted bohn, an electrical engineer in chicago. “but it couldnt pull any people, and it would cost $100,000.” so researchers need to work out how to make batteries smaller and cheaper, among other questions.“the answers dont exist yet” bohn says, “as a kid, i thought someone someplace knows the answer to everything. all of these questions havent been decided. thats what engineering is aboutmaking a guess, running tests and getting fine results.”24. according to the passage, the main problem of the new car is .a. the developing b. the speedc. the appearance d. the batteries25. which is true according to the passage? a. the “plugin vehicles” will use electricity completely as driving powerb. the new technology will help protect our environmentc. the technology of using electricity as driving is quite practical nowd. the biggest challenge of the new technology is that it will cost us more energy26. how does bohn feel about the future of the technology according to the last paragraph? a. confident b. puzzledc. worried d. disappointed27. according to the passage, the new technology is facing the problems except that .a. the new technology cannot come into use at presentb. the cost of the new technology is quite highc. the government wont support the technologyd. the size of the batteries is too big at presentcwhen i was a boy, i was always happy to see those little brown coins. after years i was still very happy to pick up pennies on the ground. i usually saved them up. i usually bought a pack of gum or a bag of chips when it was enough. after growing up, i heard a story about coins. it was said that our loved people sometimes would leave pennies on the ground in front of us. people wanted to show us that we were loved and watched over kindly. i never doubted that story even as an adult. it is difficult for me to find a lot of money on the ground, but pennies are there all the time. maybe that is why i still enjoy seeing them and picking them up, no matter how dirty or old they are.a few months ago, i was walking to the local post office to mail a letter. as i entered the room, i saw not one, not two, but four pennies shining in the sunlight. i smiled and picked them up. i kept them in my hands as i walked in the post office. “four is ok,” an office said to a lady. the lady began searching her purse. her face went red. i understood what had happened. i laughed to myself at this surprising moment. i placed my pennies on the desk before her. the smile i got in return was worth a thousand dollars. the coins werent so valuable to me, but they did matter to her. i just performed a little kindness. i was happy.28. what might the author probably buy when he saved enough pennies? a. a set of storybooksb. a bag of sugarc. a box of chocolatesd. a pack of chips29. when grown up, the author a. saw some careless women lost coinsb. still believed the story about coinsc. thought rich people threw coins on purposed. found old people forget coins on the ground30. what can we learn from this passage? a. doing small acts of kindness is goodb. every coin should be used to buy important thingsc. we should look for coins when we are walkingd.pay more attention to what you hear from now onda new book written by a chinese american on her superstrict parenting- “battle hymn of the tiger mother” has raised fierce debates in the us.amy chua is a yale law school professor and the mother of two teenage girls. she is the daughter of chinese immigrants. in the chinese culture, the tighter represents strength and power. in her book, ms. chua writes about how she demanded excellence from her daughters. chua writes that her daughters, sophia and louisa, were never allowed to go on a date, be in a school play, watch tv or play computer games. they couldnt choose their own afterclass activities or get any grade less than an a. they had to play piano or violinand no other musical instruments.she writes that if a chinese child gets a bwhich she says “would never happen”there would be “a screaming, hairtearing explosion.” she describes making her 7yearold daughter play a piano piece perfectlyyelling and not letting her leave the bench even to use the bathroomuntil it was.many people have criticized amy chua. some say her parenting methods were abusive. she even admits that her husband, who is not chinese, objected to her parenting style. but she says that was the way her parents raised her and her three sisters. stacy debroff, who has written four books on parenting, says amy chuas parenting style is not limited to chinese families. she says it represents a traditional way of parenting among immigrants seeking a better future for their children. but she also sees a risk. when children have no time to be social or to follow their own interests, they might not develop other skills that they need to succeed in life. stacy debroff advises parents not to just repeat the way they were raised.alison lo, an assistant professor of marketing at the university of washingtons bothell campus, said. “i dont think amy is advocating a best practice of parenting style, or that success and achievements are critical yardsticks of a good life. but i can imagine how strong her daughters college applications are going to be. for many parents whose dreams are seeing their kids graduating from a competitive university, amy is sharing with the readers that it is achievable by persistent, dedicated parental guidance, ” lo said. “in that sense, a young adults giftedness can be born, or made.”31. we can learn that amy chua is a. an assistant professor b. an easygoing womanc. a cruel teacher d. a demanding mother32. what are sophia and louisa allowed to do? a. getting an a minus b. playing the guitarc. dating with boys d. playing the piano33. what do you know about amy chuas husband? a. he came from china b. he is against her parenting stylec. he
