Last year I hated studying vocabulary, but I loved playing computer games. Julia combined(与……相结合)the two and showed me a website called “freerice. com”where you can play a word game.

You know how much your telephone has changed over the past 10 years? Your car will change even more than that in the next 10 years. 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 Google's 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(感应器)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.
Things to Know When You Write an Email Messsage
For most of the twentieth century, people communicated by telephone or by mail. This is now changing, and email is becoming the preferred method of communication. It's faster than traditional mail. . As email is becoming popular, here are some rules we need to know.
●Be polite and friendly.
Start your message with a greeting. If you are writing to a friend, you can begin with Hi, Sandra. If you are writing to your teacher, begin with your message with Dear Mr. Atonso. Many people just type their names. Others say Bye, Cheers, or use abbreviations(缩略语)like BFN(bye for now).
●Look good.
When someone receives an email message from you, they might not know anything about you. , so make yourself look good. Type your message, and then read it again. Sometimes sentences seem clear when you write them, but they don't make sense when you read them back.
●
If you start to use your email several times a week, your message box will soon fill with mail. After a few weeks, you can have a list of 60 or 70 messages! It is easy to delete the message you don't want any more. , you can save them in folders(文件夹).If you don't know how to do that, just ask your friends for help. It only takes a few minutes to learn.

Train stations and airports are crowded, babies are crying, and passengers are arguing. The same story also happens during rush hours in big cities every day. When there is a crowd, people lose their tempers(脾气)easily. What makes polite travelers suddenly forget their manners?
One of the causes is a crowded cabin(车厢). It makes you feel a distance from your sense of self. In other words, you're no longer yourself.
Tiredness also makes travelers lose their self-control. Think about all those traffic jams on the way to a train station, the long line waiting to enter the station and the busy phone calls from family, friends and workmates. When travelers finally get on the train, their patience has already run out.
Besides, a lack(缺乏)of sleep gives travelers a temper. If we are forces to get up early, many of us will act much more impatiently.
So, how can we make the world a better place when we're traveling with a big crowd? Try to improve the atmosphere(气氛). If it's a flight, the air hostess could stand in front of the cabin, saying things like, “How many of you are going home?” or “Raise your hand if you've never been on an airplane before.”
What's more, everyone can be helpful, such as giving the person next to you a smile, offering the seat to a needy person, and saying “It's OK”if someone steps on your feet.
