        These days, cars are designed using computers. Let's look at how a new car is created.
           First, several    1    talk about the new car and any good ideas that they have. Then they sit down at their
    computers and    2    many sketches. The best two or three drawings are chosen and then more detailed
    drawings of    3    are developed on the computer. You can change the size, shape or color of any part on the
    computer to see    4    the car would look and then you can choose the best design. 
           Both the inside and the outside of the car have to be designed. Part of the inside of the car is    5    so that
    the designers can sit in it. They can feel if there is enough    6    inside and if they can reach    7   . Then some
    cars are built-there are more than 15, 000 parts of a car to    8   .
           When everything is known to be    9   . the cars are made in the factory. Again, computers are used to
    make sure that all the parts are   10   as they are needed. The factory usually stays open all through the night so
    that the car production never stops.

           What is your favourite colour? Ask famous persons like Cate Blanchett, Scarlett Johansson and Bono, and

           Why do you think people who live in some hot countries eat very spicy (辛辣的) food? Is it because the
    spices make the food taste better? Is it just because their parents and grandparents and great-grandparents liked
    hot food, or is there some connection between spices and healthy food?
           Researchers from Cornell University think that it is because spice plants have some important chemicals
    (化学物质). These chemicals can kill bacteria (细菌) which spoil food. "Most common spices can kill 75 to 100
    percent of the bacteria in food," explains one of the scientists. The bacteria grow more easily and spoil food
    more quickly at higher temperatures. For this reason, it is more difficult to keep food from spoiling in hot
    climates.
           Do you like your food spicy? Your answer probably tells something about the country you come from. If
    you like spicy food, it is possible that hundreds of years ago, when there were no fridges, people in your
    country started using spices to keep the food from spoiling. The traditional spicy dishes helped those people to
    live longer, healthier lives. Today, in a time of fridges, the spices just make the food taste good.
    1. The chemicals in spices keep food from spoiling by_______.

    [     ]

    A. making food taste better
    B. making food hotter
    C. killing bacteria in food
    D. preventing bacteria getting into food
    2. Food goes bad more quickly in hot climates because _______.

    [     ]

    A. high temperature makes more bacteria
    B. high temperature helps bacteria grow faster
    C. bacteria get used to hot food
    D. bacteria spoil food only at high temperature
    3. According to the passage, spices are useful in an the following things except _______.

    [     ]

    A. replacing fridges
    B. helping you to live longer
    C. helping to keep you healthier
    D. making your food taste better

           A new TV series in England, Away from it all, has surprised everyone by becoming a huge success with
    young people across the country. Its success is surprising because the series is about the relaxing lifestyles of
    people who live in the country. There is none of the action that we usually see on TV today. There are also no
    stressful moments, busy offices or crowded cities. Away from it all is set in the peaceful English countryside
    and tells simple stories about people's kindness. 
           The director of the TV series says that its success is a sign of teenagers suffering from stress. They say
    that watching Away from it all helps teenagers forget about the pressures (压力) of exams and homework, and
    the troubles that fill the world today. They also say that it's a good sign of today's young people switching to
    (转到) happier TV series as it shows they would like a happier and healthier world. 
           Although the series' success might have a good side, many teachers and parents are worried, however.They
    say that some of their students and children are becoming couch potatoes (终日泡在电视机前的人) and are
    using Away from it all as an excuse for not completing homework. Some children have even refused to learn for
    exams because they say that they can only achieve personal happiness by avoiding (避免) stressful situations
    completely. 
           And what do the experts (专家) say? Paula Ray, a doctor of education, says that TV can influence
    children's lifestyles. But she says that if a child reacts strongly, it's likely that there are other reasons for his
    change in behaviour. She says that there is nothing wrong with watching Away from it all but suggests that
    parents should make sure their children know TV is not the same as real life.
