Huw Thomas fell in love with Megan. But then an accident changed his life, and he had to move to Canada. Megan promised to write to him. But Huw never heard from her … until one day a letter arrived.

He saw the letter came from where he and his father had lived in their early years. Who was writing to him? He turned the envelop(信封) over in his hands several times. Then he took out the letter and read：

Dear Huw，

I don't know if this letter will reach you, and I don't really know why I'm writing to you after all these years, but …

Huw turned to the end of the letter and saw：

Best wishes

Megan

He couldn't believe it. He turned back to the first words of the letter and read：

After all these years, but I've just found your letter to me from Canada. Believe me, this was the first time I'd read them and they made me cry, even after 50 years. I found them in a box of my father's papers. They were never opened.

Huw, I never knew that you'd written to me. I thought your new life in Canada had made you forget me. Now I realize that my father kept your letters. I can still remember asking him if there was any letter for me, and he always said, “__▲__， my girl. I told you he was no good.” Finally, after about a year, I believed him.

But why did he keep the letters? Do you think he wanted me to find them when it was too late? Anyways, he's dead now, so I can't ask him. All I can say is I'm sorry. Sorry for what my father did, sorry that you never heard from me and sorry for… everything.

I hope that at least this letter reaches you. Of course, I'll understand if you don't want to write back to me, but if you do. I am still Megan Jenkins, and I will live at the same address.

Best wishes，

Megan

Huw read the letter again. Everything with Megan came back to him. He had never forgotten her. He couldn't. Every day he looked at her face on the wall. He had a drawing of her. It had travelled everywhere with him. But to hear from her again …

“Are you all right, Dad？” asked Mike, coming into the room.

(Adapted from Two Lives by Helen Naylor)

Have you ever seen a car without a driver? It sounds crazy, but these computer-driven driverless cars will soon be filling roads near you. Companies like Google and Tesla have been designing and testing these cars, and the technology is there.

So how? The cars have sensors（感應(yīng)器）all around which can find other cars and objects in the road. Road signs are read by cameras, and satellite navigation systems（衛(wèi)星導(dǎo)航系統(tǒng)）are used so the car knows how to get where you want to go. All you have to do is type in the address! Finally, a central computer system takes in all the information that it receives from the sensors and cameras and works out when to speed up, stop and turn.

Sound like your idea of heaven（天堂）? Sitting back, looking out of the windows and even watching a film or reading a book while ‘driving’ would be possible with this new technology. You wouldn’t have to worry about remembering directions to where you’re going. In addition, computers would also drive more safely than people — they would obey the rules and have quicker action times when in dangerous situations.

However, there are many drawbacks of driverless cars. Computers would have difficulties making ethical（道德的）decisions: if a child ran into the road, would the computer choose to hit the child or turn suddenly and potentially kill the car’s passengers? Moreover, I personally find driving fun –I’d miss never driving a car myself. There would also be many other decisions to be made –should children, or drunk people, be allowed in a driverless car by themselves? Or would there need to be a person with a driving license in the car at all times?

I’m not certain I’d want a driverless car – but it’s only a matter of time before they’ll become more affordable and popular on our roads.

1.When using a driverless car, you need only .

A. read the road signs carefully B. check the cameras

C. put the address into the computer D. remember the directions

2.The third paragraph mainly tells us about the of driverless cars.

A. instructions B. standards C. advantages D. tests

3.The underlined word “potentially” in Paragraph 4 means “ “.

A. possibly B. successfully C. especially D. naturally

4.What’s the writer’s opinion about future driverless cars?

A. They’ll cause more accidents. B. They’ll be less expensive.

C. They’ll use less energy. D. They’ll run much faster.
