Is been a dream for 30 years but now the world’s first flying car is set to hit the roads this year.

    Ever since the“Back to the Future”movies lit up our screens in the 1980s，designers have dreamt of cars that could take to the sky at the push of a button. And now pilots can order their own “roadable”plane for just £ 127,000.

    The plane，which has fold-out wings that span(翼展)17. 5 ft，has a range of flying distance of 460 miles and can be up to 115 mph. Back on the land，it can also travel at“highway speeds”

in car mode(狀態(tài)).

      Fuelling the 19 ft long plane couldn’t be simpler―you just drive it into a petrol station and fill it up.

     A spokeswoman said，“You can keep you ‘light-sport airplane’in your garage. But because it needs a short runway to take to the air，you will have to drive to your local airport，fly up to 460 miles，land，and drive directly to your destination. You will always be ready to drive or fly. "

      The spokeswoman added，“Never let bad weather change your trip. You call simply divert(改道)and continue on the ground until the weather clears. ”   

      There’s no risk to you―This is only the chance for you to be the first at your home field to unfold your wings and fly into the future.

The route from north to south is a general picture of Norwegian nature: thundering waterfalls, rushing mountain streams and roads that run along glaciers, after having gone through thick pine forests and coastal lakes and fiords(峽灣)．

The inner part of the country is very rugged and almost one third of it is covered with trees. Despite its northern latitude, the Norwegian weather is in fact maritime(海洋性的) and damp, because it is affected by the mitigating (調(diào)節(jié))action of the warm Gulf Stream, coming from the Gulf of Mexico, which flows up the coast preventing the formation of sea ice.

Bergen, a port lying in the southeast of the country, is crowded with brightly colored houses, which belonged to German traders of the powerful Hanseatic League. Despite several fires, the area keeps the atmosphere of the “old port” and Commercial City from the Middle Ages. UNESCO (聯(lián)合國教科文組織) recently declared it a World Heritage Site and included it in the list of monuments that are to be preserved.

There is a large park in the center of Bergen which is taken up almost completely by a large lake, around which, lie some of the main museums in the city.

The Hakonshallen, the most beautiful monument in the city, lies within the walls of Bergen's fortress. The great 13th century Gothic hall was built for the parties and the receptions in the days of the city's control over trade in the North Sea.

You get the best view over Bergen, the fiords and the surrounding pine－covered mountains from the belvedere(觀景臺). It's easy to admire Norwegians for their unique(獨特的) way of respecting the nature!

From north to south, from Lapland to Oslo and Bergen, Norwegian people has proved, with time, that human beings, as the most advanced yet most vulnerable (脆弱的) in the great family of nature, can live in harmony (和諧) with all its other members.

6. The purpose of the passage is to ________.

A. introduce the whole natural scenery of Norway
