That's the distance it takes for the driver to react to a danger that he sees. The white area shows the car's braking distance. That's the distance it takes for the car to stop once the brakes are used. The number at the top of each bar shows the total number of feet that it takes to stop the car

The blue eyes that looked at him from outside the door were like the light through a magnifying glass (放大镜) when it is at its brightest and smallest, when paper and leaves begin to smoke.
“Hey ,” said the man in the door. “Remember me?”
“Yes,” the boy said, whispering. “Rick.”
He felt so surprised to see Rick. All of Rick seemed to be shown in the eyes, with a strong feeling that ought to have hurt him
“You knew me,” Rick said. “You hadn’t forgotten.”
“You’re ——just the same,” the boy said, and felt much thankful.
He seemed even to be wearing the same clothes, the same blue shirt and grey trousers. He was thin, but he was built to be lean; and he was still, or again, sunburnt. After everything, the slow white smile still showed the slight feeling of happiness.
“Let’s look at you,” Rick said, dropping into a chair. Then slowly he felt more at home, and he became once more just Rick, as if nothing had happened. There were lines about his eyes, and deeper lines on his cheeks, but he looked like——just Rick, lined by sunlight and smiling.
“When I look at you,” he said, “You make me think about me, for we look like each other.”
“Yes,” said the boy, eagerly, “they all think we both look like my grandfather.”

Believe it or not, optical illusion(错觉) can cut highway crashes.
Japan is a case in point. It has reduced automobile crashes on some roads by nearly 75 percent using a simple optical illusion. Bent chevrons（人字型）, painted on the roads make drivers think that they are driving faster than they really are, and thus drivers slow down.
Now the American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety in Washington D.C. is planning to repeat Japan’s success. Starting next year, the foundation will paint chevrons and other patterns of stripes on selected roads around the country to test how well the patterns reduce highway crashes.
Excessive speed plays a major role in as fifth all fatal traffic accidents, according to the foundation. To help reduce those accidents, the foundation will conduct its tests in areas where speed-related hazards are the greatest—curves, exit slopes, traffic circles, and bridges.
Some studies suggest that straight, horizontal bars painted across roads can initially cut the average speed of drivers in half. However, traffic often returns to full speed within months as drivers become used to seeing the painted bars.
Chevrons, scientists say, not only give drivers the impression that they are driving faster than they really are but also make a lane to be narrow. The result is a longer lasting reduction in highway speed and the number of traffic accidents.
63. The passage mainly discuss
A. a new way of highway speed control B. a new pattern for painting highways
C. a new approach to training drivers D. a new type f optical illusion
64. On roads painted with chevrons, drivers tend to feel that
A. they should avoid speed-related hazards B. they are driving in the wrong lane
C. they should slow their speed D. they are approaching the speed limit
65. The advantage of chevrons over straight, horizontal bars is that the former
A. can keep drivers awake B. can cut roads accidents in half
C. will have a long effect on drivers D. will look more attractive
66. The American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety plans to
A. try out the Japanese methods in certain areas B. change the roads signs across the country
C. replace straight, horizontal bars with chevrons D. repeat the Japanese road patterns
67. What does the author say straight, horizontal bars painted across roads?
A. They are falling out of use in the United States
B. They tend to be ignored by drivers in a short period of time
C. They are applicable only on broad roads
Ｄ．Ｔｈｅｙ ｃａｎ＇ｔ ｂｅ ａｐｐｌｉｅｄ ｓｕｃｃｅｓｓｆｕｌｌｙ ｔｏ ｔａｆｆｉｃ ｃｉｒｃｌｅｓ
D. They cannot be applied successfully to traffic circles D
The scooter（踏板车）stands third among the top new trends（倾向）according to a recent study in shanghai, Guangzhou and Beijing.
The gadget（小玩意）quickly moved into the position of third in popularity, behind the skateboard and DDR（跳舞毯）among trendy youth as well as the school children after it hit the market in March of this year.
Some scooter fans prefer to use it as a means of transportation. “Since I live near the bank I work for, I thought I could ride a scooter to work, ” said a young bank clerk to the policeman who stopped him in the street.
Traffic Police don’t allow scooters on the streets.
“Nothing in the traffic administration regulations（交通管理）says scooters are allowed on the street”, said a spokesman from Shanghai Traffic Team.
However, nothing in the regulations says scooters aren’t allowed on the streets, either. But considering the condition of the streets in Shanghai, police have good reasons to forbid them. Downtown streets are crowded with cars, and there are few separate lanes（车道）where scooters can go.
“The scooters can run at a top speed of 30 kilometers per hour, ” said traffic policeman surnamed Xue, “as fast as that of the motorbikes. It would be unsafe for anyone to ride at such a high speed without any protection or braking system.” He said.
“We tell them not to ride on the road, ” Xue said, “but we don’t give them fines or other punishments.”
There is no special punishment for scooter riders yet. “It’ s not a common phenomenon yet, ” said the spokesman, “there hasn’t been any traffic accident with scooters involved. We don’t feel it necessary to set a special rule about it.”
A few riders sped past Xue before he could say anything to them. “But most people pay attention to my warning and walk their scooters,” Xue said.
Michael Wang, a local middle school student of 16, was once stopped by a policeman as he was riding his scooter on the road. “The police are right to stop us, ” he said, “but young people like to have a little risk and disobedience（违背）.”
“I no longer use it, ” he said. “Now even the little kids in our neighborhood are taking up scooters. It’s out.”
“Our store used to sell tens of scooters in a single day, ” said Peng Jiangang, a worker at Sports City, which sells scooters at three places in town.
“The trend is slowly cooling off, ” Peng said. Sales of scooters rose again in July, when the summer holiday began. “Many school children bought them, ” Peng said. “a father came to buy one for his son. When he tried it in our store, he liked it and bought one he could ride as well.”
68 The scooter quickly became the third favorite in these cities because .
A．it’s a newest trend this year
B．it’s safe and it causes no accident
C．there is no administration regulation about it
D．people feel it cheap and convenient to ride it everywhere
69．In what way does the traffic policeman think the scooters dangerous?
A．It runs fast and you can’t stop it in time of danger.
B．There are so many cars in the street, so it may easily hit a car.
C．Most riders are children and they like to have a little risk.
D．There are too many of them and the streets will become more crowded.
70．According to what the policeman says .
A．traffic rules about scooters will come out in not a long time
B．most scooter riders ride their scooters at a high speed
C．scooters are not so bad if the riders obey the traffic rules
D．scooters must be forbidden in cities.
71．We know from the passage .
A．scooters will disappear soon
B．the scooter phenomenon will last long
C．school students like scooters most
.D．scooters will rank（排名）first at the end of this year
E
The human brain contains 10 thousand million cells and each of these may have a thousand connections. Such enormous numbers used to discourage us and cause us to dismiss the possibility of making a machine with human—like ability, but now that we have grown used to moving forward at such a pace we can be less sure. Quite soon, in only 10 or 20 years perhaps, we will be able to assemble a machine as complex as the human brain, and if we can we will. It may then take us a long time to render it intelligent by loading in the right software or by altering the architecture but too will happen.
I think it certain that in decades, not centuries, machines of silicon will arise first to rival and then exceed their human ancestors. Once they exceed us they will be capable of their own design. In a real sense they will be able to reproduce themselves. Silicon will have ended carbon’s long control . And we will no longer be able to claim ourselves to be the finest intelligence in the known universe.
As the intelligence of robots increased to match that of humans and as their cost decline through economies of scale we may use them to expand our frontiers, first on earth through their ability to withstand environments, harmful to ourselves. Thus, deserts may bloom and the ocean beds be mined. Further ahead, by a combination of the great wealth this new age will bring and the technology it will provide, the construction of a vast, man-created world in space, home to thousands or millions of people, will be within our power.
72.In what way can we make a machine intelligent?
A By making it work in such environments as deserts, oceans or space
B By working hard 10 or 20 years
C By either properly programming it or changing its structure
D By producing it
73. What does the writer think about machines with human-like ability?
A He believes they will be useful to human beings
B. He believes that they will control us in the future
C. He is not quite sure in what way they may influence us
D He doesn’t consider the construction of such machines possible
74.The word carbon (Para.2,line 3)stands for
A. intelligent robots B. a chemical element C. an organic substance D. human beings
75.It can be inferred from the passage that
A. after the installation of a great number of cells and connections, robots will be capable of self-reproduction
B. with the rapid development of technology, people have come to realize the possibility of making a machine with human-like ability
C. Once we make a machine as complex as the human brain, it will possess intelligence
D robots will have control of the vast, man-made world in space

Top Meal of the Day
A recent study shows that nearly 50 percent of the school "kids in Beijing do not have breakfast. They tend to feel sleepy all day and have bad memories, so it is hard for them to get high marks in all kinds of test.
Some students who study late into the night choose to miss breakfast so that they can have a few extra minutes in bed. Others are given money to buy their breakfast on the way to school because their parents are too busy to prepare it for them. In addition, a few schoolgirls want to stay slim and often go to school without breakfast.
In fact, the morning meal plays an important part. It can provide 30 percent of the whole day’s energy. For a creative mind and better judgment, school kids should start their day with a regular breakfast.
