Personal planes which can take off noiselessly from the back garden will be possible within two years.
Lilium Aviation is inventing an electric two-seater airplane which takes just 20 hours to learn to fly and can travel at speeds of 250mph.More importantly, the small plane, which weighs just 25kg, can take off vertically which means it does not need to fly from an airport, but could be parked outside a house or in a garden. The company says the design will “open the door to a new class of simpler, quieter and environmentally friendly planes” and will be possible from 2018.
“Our goal is to develop an airplane for use in everyday life,” said Daniel, CEO and one of the company's four founders. "We are going for a plane that can take off and land vertically and does not need the difficult and expensive infrastructure of an airport.
Although helicopters offer a choice, they are very noisy and difficult to fly and require expensive licenses. They also have no backup if the rotor fails, making them costly to build and keep. While firstly limited to airfields, the Lilium airplane will eventually take off vertically from almost anywhere – even from back gardens – it needs only an open flat area of 50 ft. by 50ft (15 m x 15m).
The plane is classed as a Light Sport Aircraft for two users, with the pilot's license requiring 20 hours' minimum training – almost like taking a driving license. It is intended for fun flying during daylight, in good weather conditions and in least crowded airspace up to 3 km altitude. The airplane would have to follow the same flight laws as helicopters.
(1)What is the advantage of the Lilium airplane?
A.It can seat more people.
B.It flies at a high speed.
C.It needs a small airport.
D.It only takes up a small space to park.
(2)Which condition is proper for Lilium airplane to fly?
A.On a fine evening.
B.On a rainy morning
C.On a sunny afternoon
D.On a sunny evening
(3)The Lilium airplane can be used in daily life because ________.
A.it needs a backup.
B.it takes a very long time to learn.
C.it takes off and lands very easily.
D.it can fly in good weather condition.
(4)From the passage we know that _________.
A.customers can buy this kind of aircraft in 2019.
B.Lilium airplanes started a new period of planes
C.back gardens will have no use for Lilium airplanes
D.Lilium airplanes can offer comfortable and noiseless flight.

【答案】
(1)D
(2)C
(3)B
(4)A

“I will think of it.” It is easy to say this, but do you know what great things have come from thinking?
Sir Isaac Newton was sitting in his garden when he saw an apple fall from a tree. He began to think and tried to find out why the apple fell. Then he discovered how the sun, moon, and stars are kept in their places.
A boy named James Watt sat quietly by the fire, watching the lid of the kettle move up and down. He wanted to find out why the steam in the kettle moved the lid. From that time he went on thinking and thinking. And when he became a man, he improved the steam engine (蒸汽機) so much that it could easily do the work of many horses.

James Ferguson was a poor boy. Once, seeing the inside of a watch, he wondered. “Why should I not make a watch?” But how could he get the materials to make the mainspring (鐘表的主發(fā)條)? He soon found he could make it with whalebone (鯨骨). He then made a wooden clock which kept good time. His motto (座右銘) was “I will think of it.” And he made his thoughts useful to himself and the world.
Boys and girls, when you have a difficult lesson to learn, don't lose heart, and don't ask someone for help before helping yourselves. Think, and by thinking you will learn how to think to some purpose.

When the traffic lights turn red, we will stop driving a car or crossing a street. Why is red used for traffic lights instead of other colors?
As we know, scattering(散射)happens when light goes through the air. For the same media(媒介), if the wavelength is long, the scattering will be short. If the wavelength is short, the scattering will be long.
Of all lights we can see red has the longest wavelength, so the scattering is the weakest. That means the red travels far. In fact, it travels faster on rainy days.
Using the red light can help drivers in farther areas see the lights. It helps drivers slow down or stop in time. If drivers don’t see the red light until they are close, they may not be able to stop the car in time. An accident may happen. Red can also excite people. We can act more quickly when we see the color red. In a word, red lights help drivers stop in time and help prevent accidents.

(1)When the traffic lights turn _______, we will stop driving a car.
A.red
B.green
C.yellow
D.dark
(2)According to the passage, the scattering of the red light is the _______.
A.longest
B.weakest
C.farthest
D.strongest
(3)The underlined word “wavelength” in Paragraph 2 means _______ in Chinese.
A.波浪
B.光波
C.波長
D.波幅
(4)What can the red light help drivers do?
A.It can help drivers in farther areas see the lights.
B.It helps drivers slow down or stop in time.
C.It can make the drivers act more quickly.
D.All the above.
(5)Which of the following is the best title?
A.Why do accidents happen?
B.How does the red light travel?
C.Why do we use red traffic lights?
D.What is scattering?

As the CEO and founder of Apple, Jobs hardly talked about his personal life in public. Here are some specific things.
1Early life and childhood Jobs was born in San Francisco on February 24, 1955. He was adopted(收養(yǎng)) shortly after his birth by a couple(夫婦) named Clara and Paul Jobs. He grew up in California. Later in life, Jobs discovered who were his birth parents. However, Jobs only had some communication with his birth mother.
2 College dropout After leaving high school, Jobs entered Reed College in 1972. Jobs stayed there for only one semester, because his parents couldn’t afford his education.
3 An important date Jobs actually missed a meeting because of his first date(約會)with his wife, Lauren Powell. He said, “I was in the parking lot (停車場)with the key in the car, and I thought to myself, ‘If this is my last night on Earth, would I rather spend it at a business meeting or with this woman? ’ I ran across the parking lot, and asked her if she’d have dinner with me. She said yes, we walked into town and we’ve been together ever since. ”
4His sister is a famous author Later in his life, Jobs met up with his biological sister Mona Simpson, the famous author of Anywhere But Here.
5His first daughter When he was 23, Jobs and his high school girlfriend Brennan had a daughter, Lisa Brennan Jobs. He and Brennan never married. Jobs paid for his first daughter’s education at Harvard. She graduated in 2000 and now works as a magazine writer.
6His fortune As the CEO of Apple, Jobs only took $1 a year, but Jobs leaves behind a vast fortune. In 2011, with $8. 3 billion, he was the 110th richest person in the world, according to Forbes.
