| After years of hearing drivers complain about scratches (划痕) on their cars, Japan's Nissan Motor Company has officially announced the next big thing－a paint that not only resists scratches and scrapes, but actually repairs itself within a few days. The new material, developed by Nippon Paint Company, contains an elastic rubbery-like resin (弹性树 脂) that is able to heal minor (较小的) marks caused by car wash equipment, parking lot encounters, road debris (石头碎片) or even on-purpose destruction. The automaker admits its results vary depending on the temperature and the depth of the damage, but adds this is the only paint like it in the world, and tests prove it works. Minor scratches, the most common type, are said to slowly fade over about a week. And once they're gone, there is no trace (痕迹) that they were ever there. The special paint is said to last for at least three years after it is first applied, but there is no word yet on whether more can be added after that period. Nissan claims car washes are the worst offenders for this type of damage, accounting for at least 80 percent of all incidents. But the complete auto-healing won't come without scratching your wallet. The vehicle maker notes the special paint adds about $100 US to the price of a car. It plans to use its new chemical mixture only on its X-Trail SUVs in Japan for now, as it looks for a more widespread presentation. And while plans to offer the feature overseas haven't been made yet, if it's a hit there, you can be almost sure market forces will drive it to these shores, as well. |
| 1. From the article, we can find that ______. |
| A. the paint has already been used on cars by now B. it beats other products of its kind in its lengthy effect C. car damage is mainly caused by scratches and scrapes D. marketing this paint in Europe is not under way |
| 2. The paint used on cars can ______. |
| A. last 3 years before it is re-applied again B. fade only in a few days C. help to heal minor paint damage D. reduce car scrape incidents to 20 percent |
| 3. What does the underlined part refer to? |
| A. certain models of Nissan B. name for one kind of paint C. somewhere in Japan D. a word standing for a car-dealer store |
| 4. What can be inferred from the article? |
| A. The paint was developed by Nissan Motor Company. B. The paint might work better in summer than in winter. C. The mark on the car could disappear as soon as the paint is applied. D. The paint is very popular in Japan. |

| As a parent you might never guess all the ways a good imagination benefits your child. It helps a preschooler: Develop social skills As children play pretend, they explore relationships between family members, friends and co-workers and learn more about how people interact. Playing doctor, they imagine how physicians care for their patients. Playing house, they learn more about how parents feel about their children. Imaginative play helps develop empathy for others. If children can imagine how it feels to be left out of a game or to lose a pet, they are better able to help those in need. They become more willing to play fair, to share, and to cooperate. Build self-confidence Young children have very little control over their lives. Imagining oneself as a builder of skyscrapers or a superhero defending the planet is empowering to a child. It helps them develop confidence in their abilities and their potential. Boost intellectual growth Using the imagination is the beginning of abstract thought. Children who can see a king's castle in a mound of sand or a delicious dinner in a mud pie are learning to think symbolically. This skill is important in school where a child will have to learn that numerals symbolize groups of objects, letters symbolize sounds, and so on. Practice language skills Kids who play pretend with their friends do a lot of talking. This helps boost their vocabulary, improve sentence structure and enhance communication skills. Work out fears Playing pretend can help children work out their fears and worries. When children role-play about the big, bad monster under the bed, they gain a sense of control over him and he doesn't seem quite so big or so bad. Imaginative play also helps kids vent confusing feelings they might have, such as anger toward a parent or rivalry(竞争) with a new sibling (兄弟姐妹). To encourage your youngster's imagination, read to him every day. Books offer children the opportunity to visit other worlds and create new ones of their own. For generations children have enjoyed reading the story of Peter Pan because Peter takes them on fascinating adventures. Reader's Digest Young Families offers a beautiful vintage Disney edition of Peter Pan, which is an iParenting Media Award winner. Click here to find out how you can get this classic story along with 2 free books-Bambi and Pinocchio. |
| 1. Where can you probably find the article? |
| A. Newspaper B. Magazine C. Internet D. Book |
| 2. What's not the advantage of children having a good imagination? |
| A. Understanding the other people's feeling and problems. B. Expressing their feelings like anger toward a parent. C. Doing good to their speeches. D. Learning to think symbolically expands a child's mind. |
| 3. What's the meaning of the underlined word? |
| A. improve B. limit C. push D. praise |
| 4. What's the purpose of writing the article? |
| A. Tell the readers 5 benefits of encouraging the child's imagination. B. Advise the parents to encourage the child's imagination. C. Introduce some Disney stories to the readers. D. Persuade the parents to buy books for their children. |

| Rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are a major cause of climate change, and now a new study has confirmed that atmospheric CO2 is also affecting the ocean chemistry and potentially harming sea life. Montana State University scientist Robert Dore has been researching the water in the Pacific Ocean for almost two decades. "We've been going to the same spot in the Pacific Ocean, and we try and characterize long-term change in the open ocean environment. And one of the key things that we measure is CO2 levels. And we've been able to record this increasing quantity of atmospheric CO2 into the ocean." Scientists expected that as atmospheric CO2 increased, more and more of the carbon dioxide would be absorbed into the ocean, affecting the chemical balance of the sea water, with a potentially harmful impact on shellfish and coral in particular. "As carbon dioxide dissolves (溶解) in the water, or seawater in this case, it forms a weak acid, carbonic acid," Dore explains."And therefore, as the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere goes up and that exchanges with the surface seawater, it drives the pH down, and makes it more acidic." The seawater Dore and his colleagues have analyzed confirms what the theory predicts. The effect was particular striking at about 250 meters down, and again at 500 meters. Dore and his colleagues came up with two possible explanations. It could be that surface water picked up CO2 and then moved to those depths. Or there could be a biological explanation. "It's important to realize that the oceans are really becoming acidic. And it can have negative impacts on a whole variety of sea life from fish to coral. It's potentially catastrophic." |
| 1. What can be the best title of the passage? |
| A. Sea Life Facing Danger B. Scientist Researching Seawater C. Oceans Becoming More Acidic D. Climate Change Affecting Seawater |
| 2. With the increase of atmospheric CO2, ______. |
| A. more corals will appear in the sea B. the surface water is becoming warmer C. the chemical balance of the seawater is affected D. the pH of the ocean out here has been increasing |
| 3. Scientist Robert Dore came to the conclusion based on ______. |
| A. his research and analysis B. the expectation of other scientists C. some former theory D. a major cause of climate change |
| 4. What does the passage want to tell us most? |
| A. It takes time to make a scientific study. B. Atmospheric CO2 is doing harm to sea life. C. Robert Dore is a committed and serious scientist. D. Measures should be taken to prevent the potential catastrophe. |
