　　Some experts feel that cars are certain to fall into disuse．They see a day in the not-too-distant future when all cars will be deserted and made useless．Other experts however think the car is here to stay．They hold that the car will remain a leading means of city travel in the foreseeable future

　　The car will undoubtedly change greatly over the next 30 years．It should become smaller safer and more practical and should not be powered by the gas engine．The car of the future should be far more pollution-free than present types

　　Unless changes take place in the power system, the car in the future will still be the main problem in city traffic jams．One suggested solution to this essential problem is the automated(自动的)system which seems to hold water．

　　When the car enters the highway system, a small arm will drop from the car and connect with a rail which is similar to hose powering subway trains electrically．Once joined to the rail, the car will become electrically powered form the system and control of the car will pass to a central computer．The computer will then monitor all of the car’s movements

　　The driver will use the telephone to dial instructions about his position and the place he heads for into the system．The computer will find the best way and reserve space for the car all the way to the correct exit from the highway．The driver will be free to relax and wait for the call that will warn him of his coming exit．It is believed that an automated highway will be able to deal with 10.000 cars per hour, compared with the 1,500 to 2,000 cars can be carried by a present－day highway

　　A man hired a taxi outside the airfield．The cab had a woolen carpet with 　　1　　 lace edges．On the glass partition that 　　2　　 the driver's seat was a copy of a famous painting．Its windows were all clean．The customer was very much 　　3　　 and said to the driver, “I've never seen a nicer 　　4　　．”“Thank you for your praise．”the driver answered 　　5　　．

　　“The car isn't mine, ”said the driver．“It belongs to the company．I used to be a 　　6　　 of cabs．When they returned, all of them were as 　　7　　 as garbage cans with cigarette butts and rubbish 　　8　　 here and there．On the seats and door-handles could be found something 　　9　　 like peanut sauce or, chewing gum．Why so? I thought if the car itself were very clean the passengers would most 　　10　　 be considerate and refrain from littering．”

　　“So when I got a 　　11　　 to be a taxi-driver, I began 　　12　　 my idea into practice-to tidy and 　　13　　 the car．Now before a new passenger gets on my car, I'd make a cheek and be sure it is in good order．When my car 　　14　　 after a day's work, it always remains 　　15　　．”

　　When doing a thing, one makes efforts and wants to see the result．To change others, one has to make twice the 　　16　　 but get half the result．To change oneself is the other way round-more fruit with less effort．One had better ask oneself why one makes 　　17　　 on others much more than on oneself．　　18　　 you take enough care to do as best you can for other people's sake, your efforts will yield results, If you 　　19　　 the inner world of your own, examine yourself and wipe out the dust and dirt, instead of fixing your eyes on other people, you will find a cheerful 　　20　　 for yourself and create a pleasant environment for others．

　　The truck shot(飞速通过)past from behind with a loud banging．The banging came from the metal it was carrying－pieces of steel, ten meters long．

　　“Get out of way!”Dr West shouted angrily．He drove the car left and right, but the truck stayed right in front of them, in the middle of the road．

　　The back of the truck fell open, and the ten-meter pieces fell out and shot towards the car．Patrick covered his face with his voice lost in the crash of steel against the steel．

　　The car jumped and shook when the metal hit it．The glass in front of Dr West went white．Ned saw a long piece of steel come through the back seat, a few centimeters from his eyes．Car crashing must be like this, Ned thought．A quick death on the highway．Turning over and over．No chance of escape, to do anything．He wondered how many more seconds he had to live．
