The company Terrafugia, based in Woburn, Massachusetts, says it plans to deliver its carplane, the Transition, so customers by the end of 2020.“Its the nextwowvehicle，”said Terrafugia vice president Richard Gersh.“Anybody can buy a Ferrari, but as we say, Ferraris dont fly.”The carplane has wings that unfold for flyinga process the company says takes one minuteand fold back up for driving. A runway is still required to take off and land.The Transition is being marketed more as a plane that drives than a car that flies, although it is both. The company has been working with FAA to meet aircraft regulations, and with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to meet vehicle safety regulations.The company is aiming to sell the Transition to private pilots as a more convenient and cheaper way to fly. They say it saves you the trouble from trying to find another mode of transportation to get to and from airports: You drive the car to the airport and then youre good to go. When you land, you fold up the wings and hit the road. There are no expensive parking fees because you dont have to store it at an airportyou park it in the garage at home.The carplane is designed to fly primarily under 10,000 feet. It has a maximum takeoff weight of 1,430 pounds, including fuel and passengers. Terrafugia says the Transition reduces the potential for an accident by allowing pilots to drive under the bad weather instead of flying into marginal (临界的) conditions.The Transitions price tag：$ 194,000. But there may be additional charges for options like a radio, a transponder or a GPS. Another option is a fullplane parachute.“If you get into a very awful situation，it is the necessary safety option，”Gersh said.So far, the company has more than 70 orders with deposits.“Were working very closely with them, but there are still some remaining steps，”Brown said.1We can learn from the first two paragraphs that _.Acarplanes will be popular in 2020Bpeople might drive a carplane in 2020Cboth the Transition and Ferrari can take off and landDRichard Gersh is the vice president of Massachusetts2The underlined word“it”in the last but one paragraph refers to _.Athe radio Bthe transponderCthe GPS Dthe fullplane parachute3Whats the best title for the passage?ACars with wings may be just around the cornerBWhich to choose：a Ferrari or a carplane?CA more convenient and cheaper way to flyDCars with wings can fly as fast as planesBWelcome to Pocono WhitewaterTheres something fun here at Pocono Whitewater for every level of adventurer!

Probably the first to use it were the Chinese in the 11th century BC.We know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there was a strange thing connected with its use: it became a symbol of honor. In the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by those in high office.In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. And the umbrella was commonly used in ancient Greece. But it is believed that the first persons in Europe to use the umbrella as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans.During the Middle Ages, the use of umbrella practically disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the late 16th century. And again it was considered as a symbol of power. By 1680, the umbrella appeared in France and later in England.By the 18th century, the umbrella was used against rain throughout most of Europe.Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time, though they have become much lighter in weight.
