Travel in the Future

These days, if you want to travel from New York to Beijing, the flight takes about 16 hours. You also have to wait at the airport, and sometimes you have to transfer (换乘) onto a different airplane. If you add all of that extra time, the trip takes at least 20 hours. But in the future, the trip from New York to Beijing might only take two hours.

Right now, a company is developing something called ET3, which stands for "evacuated tube (真空管) transport technology". Here's how it works. A tube goes all the way from New York to Beijing. The tube is only a few meters wide. Capsules (舱) move through the tube. Six people can sit in one capsule. The capsules use electricity instead of oil. For international travel, the capsules can travel at about 6,500 kilometers per hour. That's much faster than airplanes—most modern airplanes usually only fly at about 800 kilometers per hour.

So how is this possible? How can these capsules travel so fast? The answer is that there is no air inside the tube. When airplanes fly, they have to move through air. The air slows the airplanes down. Because there isn't any air in the ET3 tubes, the capsules are able to move at a very high speed. Also, the capsules are quite light. Each only weighs 183 kilograms.

There are other advantages to ET3. Because it uses electricity, it's quite clean. Also, it's a lot quieter than airplanes and cars. Finally, ET3 tubes and capsules don't require very much building materials.

Of course, ET3 doesn't come into use yet. The technology is still being developed. Developers still have to solve a lot of problems. The biggest problem is that right now ET3 would be far too expensive. In order to make ET3 cheaper, we will need much better technology.

It's exciting to think of how ET3 will change the travel in the future. Who knows? Maybe someday you'll be able to have lunch in New York and dinner in Beijing.

1．According to the passage, an ET3 looks more like a ________.

A．spaceship

B．bus

C．plane

D．subway train

2．ET3 travels at the very high speed because _________.

A．it is powered by electricity and oil	B．it is much lighter than an airplane
C．it moves through a tube without air	D．it is made up of fewer capsules

3．From the passage, the writer expects that ________.

A．modern technology will be used in airplanes	B．ET3 will take the place of airplanes some day
C．less money will be spent for passengers on ET3	D．ET3 will change the travel in the future greatly

Satellites are an important part of our ordinary lives．For example, the information for weather forecasts is sent by satellite．Some satellites have cameras which take photographs of the Earth to show how clouds are moving．Satellites are also used to connect our international phone calls．
Computer connections of the World Wide Web and Internet also use satellites. Many of our TV programs come to US through satellites．Airplane pilots also sometimes use a satellite to help them find their exact location．
We use satellites to send television pictures from one part of the world to another．They are usually 35，880 kilometers above the equator．Sometimes we can see a satellite in the sky and it seems to stay in the same place．This is because it is moving around the world at 11，000 kilometers an hour—exactly the same speed that the earth rotates．A satellite must orbit the Earth with its antennae(天线)facing the earth．Sometimes, it moves away from its orbit(轨道)，So there are little rockets on it which are used to put the satellite back in the right position．This usually happens about every five or six days．
Space is not empty! Every week, more and more satellites are sent into space to orbit the Earth．A satellite usually works for about 10-12 years．Satellites which are broken are sometimes repaired by astronauts or sometimes brought back to Earth to be repaired．Often，very old or broken satellites are left in space to orbit the Earth for a very long time．This is very serious because some satellites use nuclear（核） power and they can crash into each other．
1．Which of the following is NOT done by satellites according to the passage?

A．Sending information for weather forecast．

B．Taking photographs of the Earth．

C．Sending TV pictures．

D．Providing food for airplane pilots．

2．What’s the speed the earth rotates at?

A．35,880 kilometers per hour．

B．335,880 kilometers per hour．

C．11,000 kilometers per hour．

D．110,000 kilometers per hour

3．Why does the satellite move around the world at the same speed as the Earth rotates?

A．In order to take photographs．

B．In order to stay in a certain position in the orbit．

C．In order to move away from its orbit．

D．In order to send television pictures．

4．What does the underlined word “This” in the 3^rd paragraph refer to?

A．A satellite．

B．A little rocket．

C．A satellite seems to stay in the same place in the sky．

D．The satellite puts the rockets in the right position．

Does technology influence the purity of Chinese language? Yes!
Many Chinese use messenger tools such as MSN or QQ, listen to music on MP3 players and blog on the Internet using ADSL ,but most people don’t know the Chinese meanings of the abbreviations, as many English letters have become part of the local lexicon（专门词汇）. some parents are so crazy about English letters that a couple tried to name their baby "@", they say the character used in email addresses reflects their love for the child.
While the "@" is obviously familiar to Chinese e-mail users, they often use the English word "at" to pronounce it , which sounds like ai ta, or "love him", to Putonghua speakers.
“Nowadays, more and more English abbreviations are being used in Chinese, making them an important part of the modern language," said Hou Min, a professor at Communication University of China.

In many families, the oldest child is often expected (期待) to take care of younger ones, take on more housework, and tend to (倾向于) have more expectations placed on them. But why do older children seem to “always have to do everything”?

Parents give housework to the most capable (有能力的). Sometimes, parents need children to do some housework when they are busy. Because the oldest child is the most likely to be able to carry out the work, parents tend to give the housework to that child. It doesn’t necessarily mean that younger children aren’t as capable of doing housework. Sometimes, parents overlook (忽略) younger children because they seem so young. However, it’s important to ask yourself, “Are younger children now ready to take on more work?” “Can we hand out some of the housework to the younger ones?” Remember, many hands make light work.

Younger children look up to the oldest. Whether older children want them to or not, their younger siblings (兄弟姐妹) look up to them. This may put kind of pressure (压力) on the oldest to do things to help the younger children go on to look up to them. In this way, older children often jump in to help younger ones with math homework, reading, housework, etc. As a result, older children, not the younger ones, have more chances to be leaders.

Parents put pressure on the oldest to be an example. How many times do we hear a parent say to the younger ones, “If you just would do what your brother does…”? Saying this, a lot of parents put pressure on the oldest to work as an example to their younger siblings. This may help the older ones take on more responsibilities (责任), but it can go too far. Some older children are likely to become people-pleasers. They tend to say “yes” to others just to please everyone but themselves.

So, be sure to spend time with your oldest child. While we’re placing all those responsibilities on our oldest kids, we’d better remember that it’s important to spend time with them. It’s easy to become caught up in younger siblings’ needs, but that doesn’t mean our older kids don’t need us! When you’re working on the housework and responsibilities for the next week, make sure you spend some time with your oldest doing something fun.
