What will the car be like in the future? Maybe we can sit in a car that can drive itself.

About 40 years ago, scientists from the United States started to develop self-driving cars (无人驾驶汽车). The most famous recent one was made by Google in 2009. There are cameras and radars (雷达) on the top of the car. They allow the computer in the car to draw a 3D map of the environment. Chinese scientists have also successfully developed a self-driving car. The car made a trip from Cha ngsha to Wuhan.

Is a self-driving car safe? A recent study shows that robots make safer drivers than humans. If only 10% of cars on the street are self-driving, they will save 1,000 lives (生命) every year. If 90% of vehicles (交通工具) are self-driving, 21,700 lives will be saved a year. However, a self-driving car is expensive and each costs about $100,000. So it is impossible to be very popular in the near future.

Note-taking is a skill that can help you do well in all your school work. It can make you confident when you are studying. But unluckily, most students don’t know how to take notes.

★ Write down key facts. If your teacher writes notes on the blackboard, that’s great. You can copy them or write down the most important facts of all in class. Different teachers do things differently. For example, some teachers may focus on (关注)lots of dates and facts in class, but they only write the important ones on the blackboard. Other teachers may not write anything down, but they may say something important again and again.

★Ask. Don’t be afraid to ask your teacher to repeat (重复说)what you miss. If your teacher speaks too fast and you can’t follow what he is saying，you can ask him after class.

★Compare. Comparing your notes with your classmates’ can be good for your learning. It can also help you and your classmates correct (纠正)some mistakes.

★Organize. Note-taking also needs organization. Keep notes for each subject in one notebook, so that you can find everything easily when a test comes.

Do you want to get your pronunciation right? Here are some tips that may help you.

Do not confuse (混淆)pronunciation of words with their spelling! For example, “threw” and “through”,although spelled differently, are pronounced the same. Also, the same letters in words do not always make the same sound. For example, the “ough” in "though" and "through” r epresents different sounds in each word. 26 Imagine a sound in your mind before you say it. Try to think the positioning of your mouth and face. 27

Listen to and try to imitate (模仿).Besides listening for specific sounds, pay attention to pauses and the intonation (声调). 28

The English language has many different dialects (方言). 29 It is important, however, that you pronounce words clearly to make you understood.

Finally, you must practice what you are learning!30 You are building muscles that you do not use in your own language. It is like going to the gym and exercising your body. Exercise your mouth a little bit each day.

阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，将A-E五个句子填入文中空缺处，使短文内容完整、正确，并将其标号填写在题号后的横线上。

A.This can be just as important as the pronunciation of sounds.

B.People in different places pronounce the same words differently.

C.Learn to practice what you hear, not what you see.

D.Remember that you are teaching your mouth a new way to move.

E.Think about how you are going to make the sound.

English has some apologetic terms(表示歉意的用语). It seems that they mean the same thing. They almost do. However, what’s the difference between “Excuse me”, “I’m sorry”, “Pardon”, and “What?”

Pardon

Americans don’t really use “pardon”. If you do, they wi ll probably joke that you’re trying to sound pretentious (炫耀的) or joke that you’re British.

I’m sorry

We often use “I’m sorry” for past events. That’s to say, it is generally used to apologize for something you have already done. For example, if you step on someone’s foot on a crowded bus, you would say “I’m sorry” or “sorry”.

Excuse me

This is generally a term to ask permission(允许) for something. For example, you’re walking through a crowded space and someone is in your way. You would say “excuse me” to ask him to move out of your way.

What?

Americans usually use it to ask someone to repeat himself. If you want to be politer, you could say, “I’m sorry, what was that?” or “Excuse me, what did you say?” or any other such thing. Most Americans will just say “What?” though.

In our daily life, we can also use these terms by mixing them up. You could, for example, ask someone to move by saying “Sorry, would you mind moving?” It’s an extra-polite way to make your request.

根据短文内容，回答下列问题。

31. Who say “pardon” more often, Americans or the British?

32. Which term is used for future events according to the passage?

33. When do Americans usually say “What?”

34. Imagine a situation to say “I’m sorry”.

35. What is the passage mainly about?
