They proved that it was 4to make films which both grownups and children would enjoy. However, not every cartoon film was 5.

The number of young people who are reading has been rising in recent years, especially for teenagers, who read an average(平均) of 11.5 books. The data(数据) shows that teenagers spend much more time reading from school textbooks to some other reading materials, such as novels, e-books, magazines and so on. But younger children (ages 28) are mainly reading for fun. Compared with the past, the time teenagers spend on pleasure reading has dropped. When it comes to technology and reading, the survey suggests little. It does point out that many parents control the time of electronic reading, mainly because of worrying about increased screen time. However, most Chinese parents are helping their children to develop a reading habit. They are served as examples for their children. More than 70% of Chinese parents spend at least 20 minutes a day reading to their children aged 0 to 8 years old, and visit bookstores with them an average of three times a year. Data shows that kids and teens who do a lot of reading, compared to those who dont like reading, have more books in the home, and more books brought for them. Their parents read more often, and would like to spare time to read with them. When was the last time you read a book? If youre one of the countless people who dont develop a habit of reading, you might be missing out. Everything you read fill your head with new bits of information, and you never know then it might be useful. The more knowledge you have, the better equipped you are to deal with any challenge youll face. Remember that although you might lose something else, knowledge can never be taken away from you.Now open a book, and feed your soul.（1）Why do many parents control the time of their childrens electronic reading?

One of the biggest changes is that cars will drive themselves. We certainly have the technology for it now. says Andrew Poliak of automotive(机动车辆的)technology supplier QNX. We expect self-driving cars to be a mainstream thing between 2020 and 2025.The American company Google has been working on self-driving cars for years. These cars are already on the roads in the United States and are truly self-driving. They have to steering wheels(方向盘）or pedals(踏板). Last week, the police ordered one of Googles cars to stop for driving too slowly on a public road. The car was not breaking any law, so no one was punished.Another American company, Tesla, added an Autopilot feature to its cars last month. With the Autopilot turned on, the vehicle drives itself. The car will speed up, slow down, brake and drive by itself. You can take over driving any time by turning the steering wheel or touching a pedal. The car uses sensors to know when driveway changing is safe and whether it should speed up or slow down.Tesla Autopilot is made for cross-country driving. It keeps you in the driveway and helps you avoid hitting other cars. It does not work well on local roads, for it will not stop at a red light or stop sign.Reporter Carolyn Nicander Mohr tried the Autopilot feature of a Tesla earlier this month. She had a hard time trusting the car to do what it should do. She thought about disabling the Autopilot feature many times during her trip. She wanted to take control at every bend in the road and hit the brake when the car in front of her slowed down. Yet the car drove perfectly.Other companies are working on self-driving cars, too. Marcedes-Benz, Audi, BMW. Volvo and Toyota all have plans for such vehicles.（1）What do Andrew Poliaks words probably mean? A . It is too difficult for people to make self-driving cars now.B . Self-driving cars will be first put on the market in 2020.C . There will be more self-driving cars in use in the future.D . Nobody loves to use self-driving cars at the moment.（2）Why did the police stop the Google car? A . It had no driver.B . It went to slowly.C . It broke the traffic rulesD
