China is going green. In order to reduce air pollu?tion and oil shortages, automobile manufacturers have announced their plans to develop hybrid vehicles(混合動(dòng)力車輛)for the Chinese market. Toyota's hybrid car Prius will be ready to drive in China this week. Let's have a look at the new car.

Any vehicle is a hybrid when it combines two or more sources of power. Hybrid cars run on a recharge?able battery and gasoline. Hybrid cars have special engines, which are smaller than traditional gasoline engines. They run at 99 per cent of their power when the car is cruising(勻速行駛).A specially designed bat?tery motor provides extra power for running up hills or when extra acceleration is needed.

Step into a Prius, and turn on the engine. The first thing you notice is how much quieter it is than a tradi?tional car. At this point, the car's gasoline engine is dormant(休目民).The electric motor will provide power until the car reaches about 24 km/h. If you stay at a low speed, you are effectively driving an electric car, with no gasoline being used, and no waste gas gives off.

The on-board (車載的)computer makes the decision about when to use a gas engine, when to go electric, and when to use a combination of the two. If you go over 24 km/h, when you step on the gas pedal (油門),you are actually telling the computer how fast you want to go.

The electronic motor recharges automatically using a set of batteries. When driving at high speed, the gasoline engine not only powers the car, but also char?ges the batteries. Any time you use the brake, the elec?tric motor in the wheels will work like a generator and produce electricity to recharge the batteries. As a conse-qiience, the car's batteries will last for around 200,000 miles.

4.    What can we conclude from the passage?

A.    The batteries can be recharged at any time you want.

Both of Jessica's parents were lawyers and expected her to follow suit. So she went to law school, got a job at a great firm in Washington D. C. and worked as a lawyer for a decade. But her heart was never in it. "I had a big salary but no personal satisfaction," she said.

Jessica found pleasure in the same thing that had brought her joy since joining the church choir at the age of 12. "Singing always felt like communicating something real at a spiritual and emotional level," said Jessica. Yet she never considered it a career option. "That seemed like something people did in fairy tales, and I would never let my parents down," she said.

It was her mum's diagnosis of brain cancer in 2009 that made Jessica realize she had to write her own hap?py-ever-after. "Work was busy and my mother was ail?ing. So I was flying back and forth from Washington D. C. to Houston to see her," Jessica said. " I finally said, 'Enough! , and quit. ,, While caring for her mum, Jessica made a plan. She would spend her savingsf stud-y music for a year, and then open a part-time law prac?tice so she could pursue her passion. Before her mother passed away two years later, she encouraged Jessica to follow her dream. Her song Live This Life was inspired by her mum, and her dad came to watch her perform at clubs.

In 2012, Jessica moved to Nashville to try singing and songwriting. A decade of presenting cases in court gave her the confidence to sing for a crowd. "At 20, I would have been too shy to perform," said Jessica.

"Doing music is so free," Jessica said. "There's no pressure to be a star.  Success, to me, isn't a dollar amount or a record deal; it's doing what I love."

B.    Jessica didn't know what she truly loved for ten years.

C.    Jessica wasn't satisfied with the pay she got as a lawyer.

C.  Worried.  D. Unhappy.

7.    What was Jessica's mother's attitude towards her singing?

A. Unknown.  B. Doubtful.

C.  Supportive.     D. Negative.

8.    By telling Jessica's story, the writer most probably wants to .
