Driving a car at high speed along a highway seems to be fun. 1       It will take you to where you wish.

2       A taxi driver has to have not only good driving skills but also a good knowledge of the map of London,from the smallest lane (小巷) to the most popular bar around. He has to be at the service of all kinds of passengers at all times.

3       During the night it is quite usual for him to stop two or three times for some refreshments (點(diǎn)心) .He said, "I never drink when I'm working―I would lose my license."

4       There are times he has to stay longer and try to make more runs. He said, "That's the worst thing about working for yourself. If you don't make the money,no one is going to give it to you."

5       Every summer hundreds of children from London will go for a day at the sea―by taxi!Their rides are paid by the taxi drivers,and these fares all go to the "London Taxi Fund for Underprivileged Children". At the sea,they are met by the mayor,and a lunch party is also held in honour of the taxi drivers and the children. After a happy day running around the sea beaches and visiting the market,the children go home again―by taxi,and free of charge,of course！

   A. London taxi drivers not only "take" but also "give".

   B. London taxi drivers enjoy talking to passengers much.

   C. You need only to follow the bright traffic signs beside the highways.

   D. But to a London taxi driver,driving is not an easy job.

   E. He normally goes home between 2  and 3 o'clock in the night.

   F. A certain London taxi driver told of his job as follows.

   G. A good London taxi driver is probably patient.

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. 1       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. 2       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 (自動(dòng)的) system which seems to hold water.

3      ,a small arm will drop from the car and connect with a rail which is similar to a hose (橡皮軟管，水龍帶) powering subway trains electrically. Once joined to the rail,the car will become electrically powered from the system and control of the car will pass to a central computer. 4       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. 5       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 that can be carried by a presentday highway.

   A. There will be plenty of policemen on the highway to control the traffic.

   B. The car of the future should be far more pollutionfree than present types.

   C. The driver will be free to relax and wait for the call that will warn him of his coming exit.

   D. The computer will then monitor all of the car's movements.

   E. When the car enters the highway system

   F. All of the experts don't know what will happen in the future.

   G. Other experts however think the car is here to stay.

Have you felt that you are out of style,either in language,or in ways of expending,or in songs,or even in food and clothing? A kind of culture comes into your life and the world quietly or on a large scale. It has been said that yesterday's cultural icons are on the ash heap today and what's "in" today will be "out" tomorrow. 1       But practically speaking,how does one find time to keep up with all of the trends and changes that take place? I suggest not wasting all of your energy trying！

Allow me to explain. The adolescent years has always been about the process of individuation,separating from parents and becoming an independent adult. Over the past 50 years,youth culture has become more easily identifiable. 2       This makes it difficult for the average parents to keep up. Yet,whatever forms today's youth culture takes,it is important to remember that adolescents use youth culture to express that process―nothing more and nothing less.

Reading a good book on youth culture,periodically thumbing through a magazine marketed to teens or occasionally watching an hour of television programs aimed at teens are all worthy endeavors to keep up with today's youth culture. 3       It is an organization that does an excellent job of watching global youth culture trends that most parents would find difficult to track by themselves.

While keeping track of trends in youth culture throughout the country and the world is good parenting practices,you are supposed to approach them. 4       For instance,it may become trendy on the east coasts for teenage guys to wear Capri pants,but it could also be a trend that never makes it to Sioux Falls. So,if you happen to live in a place that is less trendy by nature,I would not advise that parents spend time preparing against the " Great Capri Pant Invasion". 5      

   A. So don't let the speeding changes make you lose the directions.

   B. Still,changes within youth culture itself are rapid.

   C. Keeping up with what's going on at your kids' school just down the road is the most important and practical thing to do.

   D. Another great resource is the Center for Parent/Youth Understanding.

   E. The youth culture nearly takes the leading part in the gap between young and old.

   F. It is wise for parents to be students of youth culture.

   G. You should also know what youth culture matters most to you and your kids.

I first heard this story a few years ago from a girl I met in New York. Probably the story is one of those mysterious folk belief that reappear every few years. However,I still like to think that it really does happen,somewhere and sometime.

Three girls and three boys were going to Fort Lauderdale,and when they were boarded the bus,they were carrying sandwiches and wine,dreamed of golden beaches. As the bus past by New Jersey,they began to notice Vingo. He sat in the front of them,dressed in an illfitting suit,his dust face masking his age. He kept chewing the inside of his lips,frozen into silence. Deeply into the night,the bus pulled at a restaurant,and everybody got off except that Vingo. He sat rooting in his seat,and the young people began to wonder about him.
