After years of research and testing, the hybrid car was developed and put on the market. It's an interesting and exciting new improvement in today's world as we look for better ways to protect the quality of the air we breathe and save our natural resources.

The quality of our air is affected by many different things. But one of the largest sources of air pollution is the burning of fossil fuels such as coal and gasoline which is used to power a car's engine. The EPA has set national standards to help control the level of harmful pollutants sent off into the air, and the automobile industry has acted by producing a hybrid car that uses less gas and therefore causes less pollution.

A hybrid car is a combination of a regular car that runs on gasoline and an electric car that is battery powered. Some people tend to think that since the hybrid car is partially electric, you have to plug it in to charge it. But that's not how it works. The 144 volt battery pack is actually recharged through the energy that is produced when the car's brakes are used. This is referred to as "regenerative braking", because it produces electricity.

Although the hybrid car still runs on gasoline most of the time, this helps it use less gas than a regular car. When the driver stops at a traffic light, the engine automatically shuts off to save fuel. Then, as soon as the driver puts the car in gear and touches the gas pedal, the engine starts back up.

Have you ever ridden in a car with someone who ran out of gas? That probably wouldn't happen if you were riding in a hybrid car. It flashes a warning on its computer screen that says, "I am low on gas". When it completely runs out, the warning reads, "YOU ARE NOW OUT OF GAS!" Then the electric power supply kicks in to let the driver travel a few more miles to a gas station.

（1）、Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A、The hybrid car will be put on the market. B、Hybrid cars run faster than regular cars. C、When the hybrid car stops at a traffic light, the driver will get a warning. D、The burning of fossil fuels is one of the largest sources of air pollution.

（2）、According to the passage, the word "hybrid" refers to ________.

A、a high-tech discovery B、energy saving C、a new invention D、a combination of two things

（3）、"Regenerative breaking" is an important process of the hybrid car because ________.

A、it allows the car to come to a quick stop B、it gives the driver a smoother ride C、it produces energy to charge the battery D、it can control the speed of the car

（4）、Which of the following is the reason for developing hybrid cars?

A、They use less gas than regular cars. B、They're safer to drive than most cars. C、They're more modern than other cars. D、They cost less than regular cars.

What will the weather be like? Some people say they can know what the weather will be like from birds. When they see birds fly high out to the sea , they know it is a nice day, because birds don't like to fly out when it will rain. When the weather will be bad, the birds come back to the beach. A big wind may come with a rain. Birds do not like to fly in a big wind. They may sit in a tree when rain is coming. Other animals can also tell the weather. It's a cloudy day. The rain is coming. Chickens aren't quiet, and they are running here and there. Frogs(青蛙) are making big noise in the pool. If it is a nice day, the frogs will come out of the water.

Air is all around us. It is around us as we talk and play. From the moment we were born, We are surrounded(围绕)by air. When we sit down, it is around us. When we go to bed, air is also around us. Wherever we are on the earth, We are surrounded by air. We live in air.
All living things need air, living things can't live without air. We can go without food or water for a few days, but we can't live for more than a few minutes without air. We breathe(呼吸)in air. When we are working or running, We need more air. So we breathe faster than usual. When we are asleep, We need less air.

Many people are surprised when they find that the Internet was set up in the 1960s. At that time， computers were large and expensive. Computer networks didn't work well. If one computer in the network broke down， then the whole network stopped. So a few network system had to be set up. It should be good enough to be used by many different computers. If part of the network was not working， information could be sent through another part. In this way computer network system would keep on working all the time.

At first the Internet was only used by the government， but in the early 1970s， universities， hospitals and banks were allowed to use it， too. However， computers were still very expensive and the Internet was difficult to use. By the start of 1990s， computers became cheaper and easier to use. Scientists had also developed software that made "surfing" the Internet easier.

Today it is easy to get online and it is said that millions of people use the Internet every day. Sending e-mails is more and more popular among young people. The Internet has now become one of the most important parts of people's life.
