Buy It Now! The beginning of the ride is comfortable and somewhat exciting,even if you ve traveled that way before. Usually some things have changednew houses,new buildings,sometimes even a new road. The bus driver has a style of driving and it s fun to try to figure it out the first hour or so. If the driver is particularly reckless 鲁莽的or daring,the ride can be as thrilling 惊心动魄的as a suspense story. Will the driver pass the truck in time? Will the driver move into the right or the left hand lane? After a while,of course,the excitement dies down. Sleeping for a while helps pass the middle hours of the ride. Food always makes bus rides more interesting. But you ve got to be careful of what kind of food you eat. Too much salty food can make you very thirsty between stops. The end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning. You know it will soon be over and there s a kind of expectation and excitement in that. The seat of course,has become harder as the hours have passed. By now you ve sat with your legs crossed,with your hands in your lap,with your hands on the armrest with your hands crossed behind your head.

C If cars had wings ，they could fly and that just might happen, beginning in 2012.The company Terrafugia, based in Woburn, Massachusetts, says it plans to deliver its car-plane, the Transition, to customers by the end of 2012.“ It s the next wow vehicle ，”said Terrafugia vice president Richard Gersh. “ Anybody can buy a Ferrari, but as we say, Ferraris don t fly.”The car plane has wings that unfold for flying a process the company says takes one minuteand fold back up for driving. A runway is still required to take off and land. The Transition is being marketed more as a plane that drives than a car that flies, although it is both. The company has been working with FAA to meet aircraft regulations, and with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to meet vehicle safety regulations. The company is aiming to sell the Transition to private pilots as a more convenient and 精选学习资料 - - - - - - - - - 名师归纳总结 - - - - - - -第 4 页，共 7 页5 cheaper way to fly. They say it saves you the trouble of trying to find another mode of transportation to get to and from airports: You drive the car to the airport and then you re good to go. When you land, you fold up the wings and hit the road. There are no expensive parking fees because you don t have to store it at an airportyou park it in the garage at home. The car-plane is designed to fly primarily under 10,000 feet. It has a maximum takeoff weight of 1,430 pounds, including fuel and passengers. Terrafugia says the Transition reduces the potential for an accident by allowing pilots to drive under bad weather instead of flying into marginal(临界 )conditions. The Transition s price tag: $194,000. But there may be additional charges for options like a radio, transponder or GPS. Another option is a full- plane parachute. “ If you get into a very awful situation, it is the necessary safety option ，” Gersh said.So far, the company has more than 70 orders with deposits. “ We re working very closely with them, but there are still some remaining steps，” Brown said.66.We can learn from the first paragraph that_. Apeople might drive a car- plane in 2012 B.car-planes will be popular in 2012 Cboth Transition and Ferrari can take off and land DRichard Gersh is the vice president of Massachusetts 67.It takes the car-plane one minute to_.

AThe car-plane needs a runway to take off and land. BThe car-plane may fly as high as normal planes. CTo meet aircraft regulations, the company has been working with FAA. DPeople can park the car-plane in the garage at their home. 69.The underlined word “ it ” in the last but one paragraph refers to_.Athe radio Bthe transponder Cthe full- plane parachute D the GPS 70.What s the best title for the passage?A .Cars With Wings Can Fly As Fast As Plane B.Which To Choose: A Ferrari Or A Car- Plane? C.A More Convenient And Cheaper Way To Fly D.Cars With Wings May Be Just Around The Corner D After moving to the United States, immigrant groups trying to fit in tend to choose high calorie fatty foods in an attempt to appear more American，a new study finds Thats one reason why immigrants approach US levels of obesity within 15 years of moving to AmericaThe researchers also did an experiment that measured whether or not the threat of appearing un-American influenced respondents food choices After being questioned about their ability to speak English， 75 percent of Asian-Americans identified a typical American food as their favorite. Only 25 percent of Asian-Americans who had not been asked if they spoke English did the same. When their American identity was called into question during a follow-up study, Asian-American participants also tended to choose typical American dishes，such as hamburgers and cheese sandwichesIn that experiment, 55 Asian-Americans were asked to choose a meal from a local Asian or American restaurant. Some participants were told that only Americans could participate in the study. Those who chose the more typical American fare ended up consuming an extra 182 calories，including 12 grams of fat and 7 grams of saturated fat饱和脂肪.
