    Can noncombustion (非燃烧) technology create a no-pollution way to drive？Imagine pulling into a service station to fuel up your car. But not at the gas pump or electric battery charger —at the air pump! That’s not hot air, either! The next generation of cars may run on thin air. Wouldn’t that be an incredible way to cut both pollution and dependence on foreign oil?

    If you’ve ever inflated a balloon and then let it go, you’ve got the basics to test-drive the amazing MiniCAT, currently being developed by Noteur Development International (MDI), headquartered in Luxembourg. Invented by Formula One racing car designer Guy Negre, this experimental vehicle is unlike any car you’ve ever seen. While your family’s traditional car or SUV draws its horsepower using combustion, the only fuel that MiniCAT needs (CAT stands for Compressed Air Technology) is the air we breathe.

    Start with about 25,000 gallons of air. Now, press it all into a space smaller than your school locker—because that’s the size of two super-strong, high-pressure air tanks, made from fiber and fixed beneath the air car.

    Confining that much air inside those small tanks generates an internal pressure of over 4,000 pounds per square inch. That’s over 300 times normal air pressure.

    When this cold, high-pressure air enters MiniCAT’s unique engine, it interacts(交互作用) with warmer air to create pressure waves that pump the engine’s engineered pistons (活塞) to move the car. MiniCAT’s projected top speed is 60 miles per hour, with a range of 120 miles on a full air supply.

    1.What is the passage mainly about?

    A. Ways to cut down air pollution.

    B. Cars that run on thin air.

    C. Formula One racing car designer.

    D. Dependence on foreign oil.

    2.What is MiniCAT according to the passage?

    A. The name of a car.

    B. The name of a balloon.

    C. The name of a car company.

    D. The name of a car designer.

    3.The underlined world “Confining” in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by ___________.

    A. Keeping B. Preventing C. Pushing D. Running

    4.What does the last paragraph tell us?

    A. How much pressure the air creates.

    B. How the car works.

    C. What the normal air pressure is.

    D. How the air gets into the engine.

    True learning combines intake with output. We take information     our brains. Then we use it. Think of a     ; it stores a lot of information, but it can’t think. It only obeys commands.

    There were smiling children all the way. Clearly they knew at what time the train passed their homes and they made it their business to stand along the railway, wave to complete strangers and cheer them up as they rushed towards Penang. Often whole families stood outside their homes and waved and smiled as if those on the trains were their favorite relatives. This is the simple village people of Maiaysia. I was moved.

    I had always traveled to Malaysia by plane or car, so this was the first time I was on a train. I did not particularly relish the long train journey and had brought along a dozen magazines to read and reread. I looked about the train. There was not one familiar face. I sighed and sat down to read my Economics.

    It was not long before the train was across the Causeway and in Malaysia. Johore Baru was just another city like Singapore, so I was tired of looking at the crowds of people as they hurried past. As we went beyond the city, I watched the straight rows of rubber trees and miles and miles of green. Then the first village came into sight. Immediately I came alive. I decided to wave back.

    From then on my journey became interesting. I threw my magazines into the waste basket and decided to join in Malaysian life. Then everything came alive. The mountains seemed to speak to me. Even the trees were smiling. I stared at everything as if I was looking at it for the first time.

    The day passed fast and I even forgot to have my lunch until I felt hungry. I looked at my watch and was surprised that it was 3:00 pm. Soon the train pulled up at Butterworth. I looked at the people all around me. They all looked beautiful. When my uncle arrived with a smile, I threw my arms around him to give him a warm hug （拥抱）. I had never done this before. He seemed surprised and then his weather-beaten face warmed up with a huge smile. We walked arm in arm to his car.

    I looked forward to the return journey.

    1.The author expected the train trip to be ________.

    A. adventurous B. pleasant C. excitingD. dull

    3.Which of the following words can best take the place of the word “relish” in the second paragraph_____?

    A. choose B. enjoy C. prepare for D. carry on

    4.Where was the writer going________?

    A. Johore Baru. B. The Causeway. C. Butterworth. D. Singapore.

    5.What can we learn from the story________?

    Children start out as scientists, eager to look into the world around them. them enjoy science can be ; there's no need for scientific terms or expensive lab equipment. You only have to share your children's interests.

    Firstly, listen to their questions. I once a classroom of seven-year-olds to talk about science as a job. The children asked me "textbook questions" about schooling, salary and my job. When I answering, I said, " we're finished with your lists, do you have questions of your own about science ?" After a long , a boy his hand, "Have you ever seen a grasshopper（蚱蜢） ？When I try eating leaves like that, I get a stomachache. Why ?" This began a set of questions that nearly two hours.

    Secondly, give them time to think. After asking a question, teachers often wait only one or less for an answer, no time for a child to think. When teachers their "wait time" to three seconds or more, children usually give better answers.

    Thirdly, watch your language. When children are having a science discussion, don't jump in with "That's right" or "Very good" because these may make the children think that discussion is over. , keep things going by saying, "I'd never thought of it that way before", or coming up with more questions or ideas.

    Never a child to "think". It doesn't make sense, because children are always thinking without your telling them to. What's more, this can turn a conversation a performance.

    , show in stead of telling. Let children look at their fingers through a magnifying glass（放大镜）, they'll understand why you want them to before dinner. Rather than say that water evaporates（蒸发）, set a pot of water to boil and let them watch the water level .
