What would the world be like if cars could drive themselves? People can not only use the computer to play games, but also invent many new things. Some day you may see an empty car passing by on its way to pick up its owner, or a car full of people, but neither of them are worried about the road ahead.

Well, all of these may come true in the near future. There are several companies, including Google, working on self-driving cars. Because of them, some self-driving cars appear. And most of them work well. No Google self-driving cars get a traffic ticket after they get on the road. These cars are now still under tests. If the tests are successful, we will soon see these electric (电动的)self-driving cars in the street.

Cars can take the place of drivers in some certain situations (情况). For example,cars can park themselves or slow down when they notice someone close by. They can also control the speed when they meet some danger or stop when they get too close to the cars in front.

Scientists and engineers believe, with the help of wireless signals (无线电信号),cameras, the Internet and GPS, it's possible to make self-driving cars safe. However, some people don't like the idea. An American lawyer (律师),White Drake, for example, doesn't believe these cars are safe.

(1)、What does the underlined sentence mean?
A、No Google self-driving cars can work well. B、No Google self-driving cars can follow the traffic rules. C、No Google self-driving cars break the traffic rules. D、No Google self-driving cars are in use.
(2)、Where does the power of self-driving cars come from according to the writer?
A、Fire. B、Electricity. C、Wind. D、Gas.
(3)、What is White Drake's opinion about self-driving cars?
A、He thinks it is a good idea to make them. B、He doesn't believe it is possible to make them. C、He doesn't think they are safe. D、He doesn't care about them.
(4)、Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A、Self-driving cars are very popular among people now. B、Self-driving cars can park like drivers. C、Self-driving cars can stop when they get close to another car. D、Self-driving cars can control the speed in dangerous situations.

 My son Laurie came home at the first lunchtime from the kindergarten* and shouted," Isn't anybody here?" " How was school today?" I asked." All right," he said." Did you learn anything?" his father asked. Laurie answered coldly," I didn't learn nothing." 

" But the teacher spanked* a boy," Laurie said," For being fresh*," he added, with his mouth full." What did he do?" I asked." Who was it?" Laurie thought." It was Charles." he said.

 The next day, as soon as he sat down at lunch," Well, Charles was bad again today. He said." Today Charles hit the teacher The next few days, Laurie still came home with tons of bad stories about Charles.

 During the third and fourth weeks it looked like a change in Charles. Laurie reported kindlessly," Charles was so good today the teacher gave him an apple." " What?" I said, and my husband added unbelievably," You mean Charles?" " Charles, Laurie said." He gave the crayons around and picked up the books and the teacher said he was her helper." zksq620

" Can this be true, about Charles?" I asked my husband." Can something like this happen?" " Wait and see," my husband said cynically*. Within a week, everything was back to normal and Charles was his usual, terrible self.

" The Parent meeting's next week," I told my husband one evening." I'm going to find Charles's mother there." " Ask her what happened to Charles," my husband said." I'd like to know." " I'd like to know myself'I said.

 At the meeting, I looked over the faces of all the other mothers. None of them looked unhappy enough to be the mother of Charles. No one stood up and apologised for the way her son had been acting.

 After the meeting, I found Laurie's teacher." I' ve been wanting to meet you," I said." I'm Laurie's mother." " Oh, yes," she said." We' re all so interested in Laurie." " He certainly likes kindergarten" I said." He talks about it all the time." " He's had some trouble getting used to school," she said." But I think he' ll be all right." " Laurie usually fits in quickly, I said." I suppose his trouble might be from Charles' influence." " Charles? the teacher said." Yes, I said, laughing." You must have your hands full with Charles." " Charles?" she said." We    don't    have    any    Charles    in    kindergarten.

"Am I an'I' person or an'E' person?" It is a popular topic among young people around China today. Many people are crazy about it so that they take a personality test named Myers-Briggs test to find out the answer.

Many people find the MBTI ( Myers-Briggs Test Indicator) useful. It groups people into 16 types, which start with the letter"I" or"E", such as"ENTJ, INFP" or more. "E" is short for"Extroversion" while"I" is for"Introversion". After testing, some say, "I'm extroverted, I should go to parties and make friends," while others think, "I'm introverted, I prefer working alone, maybeI' ll be a writer someday." They believe knowing their type can help them make quicker choices about activities, careers, and life paths.

However, there are some problems with the test. Some get different results when they retake it, and some find it hard to answer certain questions. For example, "I like watching TV alone, but I also enjoy hanging out with friends. Am I an'I' or an'E'?"

 When you take a personality test, you may think, "Oh, that's me." That's because the descriptions are generic. They can be used to describe many people. Research has found that over50% of people get a different score when they retook the MBTI just five weeks later. Personalities can change with time, and they are not black-or-white, scientists say. You may be introverted now but become extroverted when you get older. Or, you can be both an"I" and an"E". Don't label(贴标签) yourself! Studies have also shown that the test is not real at telling people's success in different jobs. So, don't take it too seriously.
