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 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 cites, 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#}o 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 of{#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.

    Dominic is my neighbour. He lives in the flat {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. He moved in about two months ago. I've never seen him or spoken to him and I didn't know his name until last week. I'm a typical British neighbour-I don't need to  {#blank#}2{#/blank#}my neighbours.

    Dominic plays the guitar. Well, actually he's learning to play the guitar. Every evening he comes home and plays the guitar. For an hour. Or maybe two. Sometimes it continues through the night. And sometimes he sings  {#blank#}3{#/blank#}. I can hear his voice clearly. In fact he's got quite a good voice. But he isn't a good guitarist.

    Now, I'm a  {#blank#}4{#/blank#}person. I enjoy music. And Dominic is learning to play the guitar. I really can't ask him to quit playing his favourite instrument, So I tolerate(容忍)his music, his guitar and his singing.
