Biofuels
Biofules have been around as long as cars have.At the start of the 20th century, Henry Ford planned to fuel his Model Ts with ethanol(乙醇).But discoveries of huge petroleum deposits(儲(chǔ)量)kept gasoline and diesel(柴油)cheap for decades, and biofucls were largely forgotten.However, with the recent rise in oil prices, along with growing concern about global warming caused by carbon dioxide emissions, biofuels have been regaining popularity.
Gasoline and diesel are actually ancient biofuels.But they are known as fossil fuels because they are made from plants and animals that have been buried in the ground for millions of years.Biofuels are similar, except that they're made form plants grown today.
Much of the gasoline in the United States in blended with a biofuel-ethanol.Countries around the world are using various kinds of biofuels.For decades, Brazil has turned sugarcane into ethanol, and some cars there can run on pure ethanol rather than as additive to fossil fuels.
On the face of it, biofuels look line a great solution.Since plants absorb carbon dioxide as they grown crops grown for biofuels should suck up about as much carbon dioxide as comes out of the tailpipes of cars that burn these fuels.And unlike underground oil reserves, biofuels are a renewable resource since we can always grow more crops to turn into fuel.
Unfortunately, it's not so simple.The process of growing the crops, making fertilizers and pesticides, and processing the plants into me!consumes a lot of energy.Also, because much of the energy used in production comes from coal and natural gas, biofiiels don't replace as much oil as they use.

Things similar continuously happened in Haiti and Chile.Thousands of people were
buried in the earthquake and lost their fives.What if we could have warned them? People are always trying hard to find a way of preventing building collapsing(坍塌).Better materials and technology help,but are not a solution.Just like humans,a building has its own life circle from “birth” to “death”.If we know when a building is going to collapse,we can repair it in advance or get out before it falls.
Now, scientists at the University of Illinois have developed a material that turns red before it breaks.The invention could be used in things like climbing ropes,or bridge supports.The secret behind the color-changing material is a type of molecule(分子).A molecule is a group of atoms held together by chemical bonds(化學(xué)鍵).Imagine you and your friends standing in a circle,holding hands.Each person stands for one atom,your hands represent the bonds,and the entire circle represents a molecule.If one person lets go of his or her hands,the molecule changes color.The research team put the molecule into a soft material.When the researchers stretched(拉長(zhǎng)) the material:it turned bright red a few seconds before it broke into two pieces.
When they repeatedly stretched and relaxed the material,without breaking it,it only turned a little red.
The major problem is,light can get rid of the red color.When the team shone a bright light on the molecule,the broken bond was fixed,and the color disappeared.If bright fight keeps the red color from appearing,the material’s warning system will be useless.Scientists still have a lot of work to do before the color-changing molecule can be used outside the lab.
The passage mainly about
A. a way of preventing building from breaking down
B. a series of earthquakes in Haiti and Chile
C. a way of warning before buildings collapse
D. a newly-discovered structure of a molecule
According to the passage,we can conclude that
A.there are problems to solve before putting the new material to use
B.scientists have found the life circle of buildings from “birth” to “death”
C.bright fight makes the red color visible to human eyes
D.the new material is unlikely to be used in building bridges
The color-changing molecule can
A.make building materials much stronger
B.help building materials get stretched if necessary
C.prevent the earthquake from killing people
D.remind people to leave buildings before they fall
The warning system is based on the fact that
A.red color won’t show up when it meets bright fight
B.a(chǎn) material with a certain type of molecule Can turn red when stretched etched
C.a(chǎn) building has its own life circle of “birth” to “death”
D.the broken bond will fix itself when a molecule meets bright fight

You can love them or hate them, but no matter which tourist destination you visit, chances are you’ll see someone with their head buried in a Lonely Planet guidebook.
Lonely Planet is one of the world’s largest travel guide brands, publishing more than 500 different guides in eight languages. The popular brand also produces television shows, websites and podcasts(播客)all devoted to travel.
Some people praise Lonely Planet books because they make traveling easy and affordable. They also save time and make sure you don’t miss the best things.
They also provide the reviews of hostels, restaurants and ticket information about your destination.
This can be great if you’re a nervous traveler, or if you haven’t traveled by yourself before. If you’re in a country where you don’t speak the language, sometimes there’s nothing better than getting into a taxi and opening up a guidebook. You simply point to a map that directs the taxi driver to a hostel that’s cheap and clean, with friendly staff and cold beer.
But others criticize Lonely Planet and other travel guide publishers like them. They say guidebooks take the fun and spontaneity(自發(fā)性)out of traveling, and that part of the enjoyment of travel comes from the fact that anything can happen. They also regret that if you follow a guidebook, you’ll end up doing the same thing and having the same experience as everyone else. You might end up seeing the same group of people over and over, because everyone is reading the same book and following the same route.
Another criticism of travel guides is that they have a large impact on local communities. For example, some locals devote their lives to behaving in ways that attract tourists. They pretend to live a traditional lifestyle, wear traditional clothes and live in traditional houses in order to attract the tourist dollar.
The Lonely Planet guidebook can bring you the following advantages EXCEPT that ___.
A. you can speak a foreign language when opening a guidebook
B. you can easily find a nice place to stay in a strange city
C. it provides lots of useful information about your destination
D. it can help you save time and money when traveling
People criticize the guidebook because __________.
A. it is not as useful as most travelers expect
B. tourist destinations will be crowded if everyone follows the same route
C. travelers may not get the chance to have unexpected adventures
D. local people keep modern lifestyles under its influence

A. It’s a world-famous brand only producing guidebooks for travelers.
B. It’s very useful to a person who’s nervous about touring an unfamiliar place.
C. It’s very useful to a tourist who likes to repeat others’ experiences.
D. It is loved by all travelers because of the convenience it brings to travelers.

One cold, rainy night in 1979, staying on the deck of the nuclear attack submarine(核攻擊潛艇) USS Birmingham entering Hampton Roads Harbor, a soldier who was called Jeff Harris was suddenly hit by a huge wave that took away his ship’s ball cap.
Months later, while walking along Chesapeake Boulevard beach in Hampton, Will Miller, a Vietnam veteran(退伍軍人) and Navy(海軍) commander, happened to find Harris’ cap which was half-buried in the sand then. Knowing how important a ship’s cap was to its owner, Miller saved the hat, hoping one day to find its owner. The cap was packed away for years but recently appeared again at Miller’s home in Florida.
“It suddenly fell out of a box onto my computer keyboard, right in front of me,” said Miller. “I guessed it was telling me, ‘It’s time to get me home.’”
An extensive Internet search led Miller to a USS Birmingham website and finally to Harris. The two sent e-mails back and forth, and one night Miller’s phone rang.
“This is Jeff Harris,” the voice on the phone said. “You have my hat!”
The two sailors talked for almost half an hour, telling sea stories to each other and thinking of the common relationship between seamen.”
“Most non-seagoing people wouldn’t understand how much a sailor likes his hat,” Miller said. “Your hat protects you from sun, wind, salt and cold, and when you lose it, especially one with your ship’s name on it, it’s a big thing. I’m delighted to get it back to Jeff.”
