Have you ever seen a car without a driver? It sounds crazy, but these computer-driven driverless cars will soon be filling roads near you. Companies like Google and Tesla have been designing and testing these cars, and the technology is there.
So how? The cars have sensors（感应器）all around which can find other cars and objects in the road. Road signs are read by cameras, and satellite navigation systems（卫星导航系统）are used so the car knows how to get where you want to go. All you have to do is type in the address! Finally, a central computer system takes in all the information that it receives from the sensors and cameras and works out when to speed up, stop and turn.
Sound like your idea of heaven（天堂）? Sitting back, looking out of the windows and even watching a film or reading a book while ‘driving’ would be possible with this new technology. You wouldn’t have to worry about remembering directions to where you’re going. In addition, computers would also drive more safely than people — they would obey the rules and have quicker action times when in dangerous situations.
However, there are many drawbacks of driverless cars. Computers would have difficulties making ethical（道德的）decisions: if a child ran into the road, would the computer choose to hit the child or turn suddenly and potentially kill the car’s passengers? Moreover, I personally find driving fun –I’d miss never driving a car myself. There would also be many other decisions to be made –should children, or drunk people, be allowed in a driverless car by themselves? Or would there need to be a person with a driving license in the car at all times?
I’m not certain I’d want a driverless car – but it’s only a matter of time before they’ll become more affordable and popular on our roads.

Many Chinese students like to study in English colleges.There is something important that they need to know well.
English people can't accept those people who like speaking loudly in public. They always speak in a low voice and they are used to speaking quietly, so that they all think it's impolite to make much noise or call somebody loudly.
They often say“Please”before asking for something, and say“thanks”after receiving help or service. It's said that the most expression used in public is “Excuse me”. Someone, for example, will say it when they want to order some dishes in the restaurant or do shopping in the store. Importantly, some people will greet each other with it when they meet for the first time. What's more, when a little accident happens to some persons, they will be ready to say it. Of course，“cheers” is also used

widely.It's another way of saying“You're welcome”or“Goodbye”．
Women and old people are respected by most people. English often let women and old people first. They can get on the bus first and do anything first in many situations. And they all like to do things waiting in a line. You can't believe that there are only a few people waiting to get money in front of the ATM machine in a line. You can't see the people jump the queue. It's a really traditional morality. We should learn from them.

What’s the meaning of “dark horse”? It’s someone who wins when no one expects it. Han Xiao’peng took China’s first gold on snow. He became an Olympic “dark horse” last Thursday by winning the gold medal in men’s freestyle aerial skiing(自由式滑雪空中技巧) at Turin in Italy. He made two almost perfect jumps for the highest score. Han had never won a world gold medal before, let alone(更不用说) in the Olympics!
8
“I never thought this would happen,” said the 23-year-old. “I feel like I’m in a dream.” It’s China’s second gold medal at the Turin Olympics. But more important, Han’s gold was the country’s first ever in a snow sport. In 2002, China’s Yang Yang won the gold for speed skating at the winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, US. Just because Han’s win was unexpected doesn’t mean that he didn’t work hard.
Han grew up in Jiangsu Province. Before he started his training on snow, he used to be an acrobat(杂技演员) at a circus. In 1995, a coach found his talent(才能). The coach, Yang Er’qi, said Han had the agility(灵活性) and courage to be a ski jumper. When Yang first took the 12-year-old to northern China, the boy couldn’t swim, skate or ski. But he wasn’t afraid of the high platform(跳台) and kept on training.
Han almost left the sport after hurting his knee months before the Salt Lake Games. In that Olympics he only got 24th. “I was hopeless at that time, but my family and the coach stood firmly(坚强地) behind me, helping me through,” he recalled.
Han Xiaopeng worked so hard that he won the gold medal in the Olympics at last. Because of his success, more and more people in China are becoming interested in skiing. We are proud of him and we hope he will have another big success in the next winter Olympics.
1. What does ‘dark horse’ mean? It means _____________.
A. a horse which is dark B. someone who is expected to win

3. What made the coach, Yang Er’qi, choose Han Xiaopeng to be a ski jumper?

B. He was good at skiing though he was only 12 years old.

C. He was born in the north of China and liked sports on snow.
D. He had the talent and he had won a world gold medal before.
4. Which of the following sentences is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
