Q: Will there be a time in our lives when cars don't crash? When we can just sit back and relax and our cars will drive themselves. Auto technology experts say "yes". And they say that some of those advances may happen quicker than you might think. They will require the users to input the name of the destination or the complete address of the location that they want to go and the cars' artificial intelligence takes them there automatically without a driver. They will run on solar power in the daytime and ethanol fuel   at night. Toyota, BMW and Honda will completely control the trade of driverless car business together and will have the cheapest driverless cars. Fossil fuels will be completely incompatible   with these cars. Driverless cars will not require a driver's license of any grade to operate. Anyone with basic literacy and computer skills who are at least 16 years of age will be legally allowed to operate the vehicle with absolutely no restrictions. This would give the young users permission to operate the driverless cars on major highways as well as secondary roads without needing a separate classification. In addition to all this, drunken people will be able to use their own automobiles to return home because they are not "driving" the vehicle. What's more, car insurance will become _ because there will be no more automobile accidents after the year 2025. This is because the driverless car will have all safety methods in place by the car's artificial intelligence to prevent automobile accidents. Global positioning systems will become mandatory   in all newly-manufactured cars after 2010, and will be the most important part in the driverless car. What will prevent the driverless car from crashing? A) Artificial intelligence. B) Global positioning systems. C) The people inside. D) Car insurance.

Q: One day Thomas Alva Edison was given a letter by his teacher. His teacher asked him to give it to his mother. Edison thought it was something nice. After he returned home, he proudly gave it to his mother, saying "My teacher let me give this letter to you." Not knowing what it was, Edison's mother opened it, and then her eyes opened wide. With tears in her eyes, she looked at her son and read out the letter aloud, "Your child is a genius. This school is too small for him and doesn't have enough good teachers to train him. Please teach him yourself." The fact was that Edison liked asking strange questions in class. His teachers thought he was mentally ill. They could no longer stand him and decided to stop him from going to school. However, Edison's mother didn't give up on her son. She taught him at home. Many years after Edison's mother died and he was already one of the greatest inventors, one day he was looking through the old family things. Suddenly he saw a piece of folded paper in the corner of a drawer. He took it and opened it up. It read, "Your son is addled (mentally ill). We won't let him come to school any more." Edison cried for hours and then he wrote in his diary, "Thomas Alva Edison was an addled child, but, by his hero mother, he becomes the genius of the century." Having faith in those we love is very important. We should have faith in those around us. Even if others have given upon you, you should have faith in yourself. What did Edison's mother do after knowing the teachers' decision? A) She asked him to invent things. B) She sent him to another school. C) She let him get educated at home. D) She asked him to study by himself.

Q: Most parents love the Internet and want their kids to use it. But a new survey in America finds almost as many also fear the online world--especially social networking sites such as My Space--and worry their kids will get in trouble with people they meet. "The parents see the web's incredible potential , and they know their kids have to be there." says James Steyer, CEO of Common Sense Media, which released results from a survey that looked into parental attitudes toward the Internet. " is also what they are scared of most." The study was conducted online May 5-10 by Insight Research Group. It says 80% of parents are concerned about kids meeting bad people online. That's because young people who largely have grown up with the Net think of it as a social outlet , say the researchers. To young people, the benefits of giving out some personal information to reach out to friends outweigh the risks. And the study shows they are so comfortable with the medium that 78% have a personal website or blog. Parents also recognize the importance of the Internet. The survey shows 91% think the Net helps their children explore their passions, and 77% think the Internet is one of the most valuable education tools teens have. But 88% think it's important to know what their kids are doing online. Findings suggest both parents and teens need more education about using online media, Steyer says. Internet safety has become an increasing concern for parents in America. Organizations like the Non-profit Common Sense have been trying to reach and help parents pay attention to the problem. Why do young people give out their personal information? A) They think it has more advantages than disadvantages. B) They want to make themselves famous by doing that. C) They want to have a personal website each. D) They want to get some information from others.
