A kind of little cars may some day take the place of today's big ones. People will like this kind of small cars more and more. The car is as small as a bike but can {#blank#}1{#/blank#} two people in it. Everybody can drive it, just like riding a bike. Even children and old people can drive them to school and {#blank#}2{#/blank#}.

    If everyone drives such a car in the future, there will be less {#blank#}3{#/blank#}in the air. There will also {#blank#}4{#/blank#}more space for all the cars in cities, and the street will have more space for people to walk. Three such cars can fit in the space now needed for one car of the {#blank#}5{#/blank#}size.

    The little cars of the future will cost much less {#blank#}6{#/blank#} to own and to drive. And they can go only 65 kilometers an hour, so driving will be safer, too.

    The cars of the future will be fine for {#blank#}7{#/blank#} around a city, but they will not be useful for a long trip.

    This kind of cars can save a lot of gasoline( 汽油 ). They will go 450 kilometers {#blank#}8{#/blank#} needing to stop for more gasoline.

    If big cars are still used along with the small {#blank#}9{#/blank#} , two sets of roads will be needed in the future. Some roads will be needed for the big, faster cars and other roads will be needed for the small, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} cars.

    Each spring brings many wildflowers along the highway that I travel to work. There is one special blue {#blank#}1{#/blank#}that has always caught my eyes. Every day for two weeks.

    I see the beautiful flowers.

    This spring, I started a wildflower garden in our yard. I can {#blank#}2{#/blank#}out of the kitchen window while doing the {#blank#}3{#/blank#}and see the flowers. I've often thought that those lovely blue flowers along the highway would look great in my wildflower {#blank#}4{#/blank#}.

    Every day I drove past the flowers thinking, "I'll stop on my way home and dig {#blank#}5{#/blank#}But I didn't want to get my clean clothes dirty... "I never {#blank#}6{#/blank#} to dig them One day on my way home from work, I was {#blank#}7{#/blank#}to see the highway workers had cut off the pretty blue flowers. I thought to myself, "You waited too {#blank#}8{#/blank#}You should have done it when you first saw them blooming this spring.

    A week ago we were sad to learn that my oldest sister {#blank#}9{#/blank#}a cancer, She is 20 years older than me, and because of being far away, we {#blank#}10{#/blank#}ever visited her, I thought about the pretty blue flowers and then about my sister, I won't miss the time I can spend staying with her.
