Then she continued：“It was my belief that if I pushed you as hard as I could, some of you would succeed to please me and others would succeed to annoy me. Regardless of our motives, I can see that you have all been successful in your chosen path.”“There is no greater comfort for an educator than to see the end result of his or her years of work.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.。 Like many other small boys, I was fascinated by cars, especially because my oldest brother was a bit of a car guy and subscribed to cool magazines like Car and Driver and Motor Trend. Every so often, one of those magazines would run an article on the “Car of the Future”. They featured unconventional things like small nuclear reactors as power sources. Yet, frankly, my car doesnt do anything that my brothers Studebaker didnt do. It goes, it stops, it burns gasoline. I still have to steer it, and it still runs into things if I dont steer it carefully.But guess what? All of these things are likely to change in the not-so-distant future. It may not burn gasoline, I may not have to steer it, and it may be a lot better at not running into things.Airbags arent the be-all and end-all in safety. In fact, considering the recent news about people occasionally being killed by their airbags in low-speed crashes, they obviously still need some development. But they arent going away, and in fact, you can expect to see cars appearing with additional, side-impact airbags, something some European car manufacturers already offer.Better than systems to minimize injury in the event of an accident, however, are systems that minimize the likelihood of an accident happening in the first place? Future cars may be able to remove many of the major causes of accidents, including drunk-driving, and tailgating (与前车距离过近). Cars could be equipped with sensors that can detect alcohol in a drivers system and prevent the car from being started, for example. As early as next year, youll be able to buy cars with radar-equipped control systems. If the radar determines youre closing too quickly with the car in front, it will ease up on the throttle（油门）. Scientists are now working on a system that can brake, accelerate and steer a vehicle down a highway on its own. Will cars eventually be able to drive themselves?66. The author was fascinated by cars because _. A. other small boys liked to own a car of their own, tooB. he read untraditional things about cars in his brothers magazinesC. his oldest brother loved to take him to places in his carD. he often booked cool car magazines himself67. By saying “my car doesnt do anything that my brothers Studebaker didnt do”, the author means that _. A. my car is far better than my brothersB. my car is not as good as my brothersC. much improvement has been made in the design of cars recentlyD. not much has changed in the performance of cars so far68. Which of the following statements is true of airbags? A. They are going to disappear gradually. B. They are in need of further improvement.C. They are a standard feature of European cars. D. They kill people instead of protecting them in low-speed crashes. 69. According to the author, what will future cars do if the sensors detect alcohol in the drivers system? A. They will not start. B. They will ease up on the throttle. C. They will brake automatically. D. They will give a warning in advance. 【参考答案】66. B 67. D 68. B 69.

Well say it again: “No”.Sweet and simple “no”.Say “no” at your office and see how quickly that pile of work on your desk disappears.“Saying no to others means you are saying yes to yourself, ” said Leslie Charles, a professional speaker from East Lansing, Michigan.“Time is precious. People are spending money buying time.

Does she feel guilty about it? “Not at all, ” said Watson, who is director of advertising and public relations at Timex Corp in Middlebury, Conneticut. “Most people are afraid of saying no My advice is to say yes only if you dont mean no.” Watson said “no” is the most effective weapon against wasting time. “Every year there are more demands on your time Other people are happy to use up your time, ” Watson said. Time saving appears to be “nos” greatest friend.“No” can be your new friend, a powerful tool to take back your life. “No” may even take you further in the business world than “yes”.“No” is power and strength. “No” now seems completely correct. “Saying no isnt easy.
