Cars make our lives more convenient. But they can also be a problem. For example, fossil fuel(化石燃料) cars mainly cause air pollution.

To improve the environment, many countries are developing electric vehicles(EVs，电动车). Among them, China is' taking a leading role and has created the world's largest EV market.

Last year, over 40 percent of the 753, 000 EVs sold in the world were sold in China, more than twice as large as the number sold in the United States.

"Filling up a fossil fuel car with gas is more expensive than charging an electric car," said Wu Hao, who bought an electric car this year.

However, there are still some problems. It can be hard to find charging piles and the cars can't go far before needing to be recharged.

Some of these problems are being solved. In 2014, China had 31, 000 charging piles. Now China has the world's largest EV charging network, with more than 167，000 charging piles in total.

Developing EVs is one of many efforts that China has made to cut down pressure on its environment after the government promised to stop increases in carbon dioxide emissions by 2030.

"As China goes, so will the world's car industry," the Wall Street Journal said. China has taken a leading role in the world's electric vehicle industry.

A、Subways B、Shared bikes C、Electric vehicles D、Fossil fuel cars

（3）、What did Wu Hao think of charging an electric car?

A、It's more expensive than filling up a fossil fuel car with gas. B、It's less expensive than filling up a fossil fuel car with gas. C、It's as expensive as filling up a fossil fuel car with gas. D、It's as cheap as filling up a fossil fuel cat with gas.

Is your TV connected to the Internet? What about your chair,or your fridge? Probably they are not. But in the future, most things in your home may be connected, thanks to the so-called “Internet of things”.

The Internet of things may be coming sooner than you think. Earlier this year, A Samsung CEO spent a lot of time talking about the Internet things. He said that five years from now,every Samsung product will be part of the Internet of things,no matter whether it's a remote control or a washing machine.

So, how do household(家用的) objects that are part of the Internet of things work? Well,think of a common chair. When connected to the Internet, the chair warms up when it knows the user has just walked into the room and is feeling cold.

An Internet-connected camera could help people feel safer in their homes. It can know people's faces and has an infrared sensor(红外传感器),so even if it's dark it can see when someone passes by and send you a message on your smartphone to let you know who's there. If the person is someone you don't know,it can tell you that ,too.

But according to MIT Technology Roview, whether companies are connecting dog food bowls or security systems to the Internet, there may be some problems. For example, many early connected-home objects don't have much built-in security, which means they could be hacked(被黑客攻击). Morever, it could be difficult to get these new machines to work together especially when they are made by different companies. To fight this ,many companies have joined the Open Interconnect Consortium, which had 45 menbers by late 2014.

So, picture this: you enter your home.The temperature changes to make you feel comfortable. Your favorite music starts playing for you. Do you think that this would be a good thing? It may happen sooner than you think.

    Do you know why you sleep? You may think it's because you're tired. Or perhaps you've been told sleep is good for you. Yet no one knows exactly why or how people sleep.
    Until the early 1950s, most scientists thought the body and brain rested during sleep. Then a scientist watched people sleep. He noticed that during periods of between 5 and 30 minutes each, sleepers' eyes made rapid movements, as if they were watching something. He called these periods REM sleep, for Rapid Eye Movement. Periods when sleepers' eyes did not move he called non-REM sleep.
    Whenever the scientist woke people during REM sleep, they were having vivid dreams. Measurements showed that sleepers' pulses（脉搏）went up quickly during REM sleep. Their breathing, heartbeat, and the blood going to the brain also increased. Far from being a time of rest, REM sleep is a time when the body is hard at work. Scientists still don't know the reason for this. Some believe REM sleep makes learning easier. Babies spend a lot of time in REM sleep. Because of this, some scientists believe that REM sleep helps the brain grow. Others think REM sleep is a time for the brain to empty the day's garbage.
    One thing all the scientists agree on is that sleep is necessary. Without enough sleep, people make mistakes. Most major car accidents happen during the early morning hours, when people are sleepiest.

    Do you kow that animals have love for each other and their children just like us humans? Let me tell you some moving stories of great animal parents.
    Several years ago a heavy rain hit a town and made the river go up. When the rain stopped, people found that a dog swam to an island in the river twice a day for two weeks. Why did she do so? Her four children were there. The mother swam there every day to feed her babies. This true story moved many people.
    Another story is about chimpanzees(猩猩). A scientist named Jane Goodall spent 4 years living with chimpanzees in Africa. She found that chimpanzees also cared for those that were hurt or got lost. “It is not only humans who have duties, animals also do,” she said.
    Two birds in Chengdu also showed their parental(父母的) love. Their baby was hurt and fell on the street in the center of the city. Cars were driving past but the brave parents rushed down to the road and took the little bird away with their claws(爪子).

    People often say that the earth is like our mother. She gives life to all the living things on the earth and provides us with air, food, water and other essential things we need for living.
    Once she was beautiful and rich, but now she becomes dirtier and dirtier, poorer and poorer. It is due to what we have done to her. Please have a good look at her: polluted rivers and lakes, growing deserts, the destruction of the forests and wild life, and the depletion (消耗，用尽) of the ozone layer (臭氧层).
    Can she bear to see her children putting the waste here and there? Can she bear to see her children cutting down the trees and destroying the grassland, to see the acid rain destroying everything? Can we bear to see our mother suffering (受苦) so much? Isn't it time for us to ask ourselves whether this is the way to treat our mother?
    Floods, droughts, acid rain..., these are the punishments (惩罚) from nature. Everyone should know that there is only one earth. If we go on treating her like this, it won't be fit for us to live in any longer. It's time for us to love her, take good care of her and cure her. We should save the earth so as to save ourselves.

Do you think you're green? You're a totally modern citizen, aren't you? You keep your bottles and take them to the bottle bank. You have a black bin and a green bin, one for general waste and one for recyclable waste. Your car uses lead—free petrol. You use the same plastic bag every time you go to the supermarket. Maybe you even cycle to work from time to time. You are playing your part; you are green and environment—friendly. Well, I've got news for you:

YOU ARE NOT DOING ENOUGH!

If you don't believe me, look at these facts. Trust me, they're from a BBC website.

On average every person in the UK throws away their own body weight in rubbish every seven weeks.

Every year, the average dustbin contains enough unused energy for 500 hot baths, 3,500 hot showers or 5,000 hours of television.

Every UK household produces over one tonne of rubbish every year.

If all the aluminium drink cans sold in the UK were recycled, there would be 14 million fewer full dustbins per year.

Just one recycled aluminium can saves enough energy to run a television for three hours!

At Christmas over 83 square kilometres of wrapping paper is thrown in the bin.

Almost three billion nappies (used for baby) are thrown away in the UK every year. 90% of these are buried and take hundreds of years to disappear.

Have I made you believe that you need to do more? No? OK, here are one or two more facts.

Recycling just one plastic bottle saves enough energy to power a light bulb for six hours.

Collecting dustbins and cleaning streets costs ￡1. 6 billion per year.

Surely you must believe me now. You need to do more. The good news is that there is some— thing else you can do.
