     From school to band Practice, the Venturi Eclectic is an Earth-friendly way to get where you want
to go. This battery-powered, zero-emission (meaning it doesn't pollute the air) vehicle runs mainly on
renewable energy. Solar panels on the Eclectic's roof absorb sun rays when you're driving. On windy
days, you can connect a machine to the car's roof that collects energy from the wind while you're parked.
The Eclectic's top speed is 28 miles an hour; the battery lasts for 31 miles before it needs to be recharged.
Zipping (迅速行進(jìn)) around the neighborhood has never been better.
     Here's an eco-friendly way to tell time: Simply fill the Bedol Water-powered Clock's tank (箱) with
water, add some lemon juice, and the clock will display the time without the need for environmentally harmful
batteries. There are two sets of metal electrodes (電極) inside the water tank. Water contains ions (離子)
that carry negative and positive charges. These ions complete a charge between the electrodes, creating
enough energy to power the clock. Just refill the tank every few weeks, and this clock will keep on ticking.
     Bloodhound SuperSonic Car (SSC) will be the first car to attempt to break the l,000-mile-an-hour barrier.
(The current record is 763 miles an hour.) A concept for now, the rocket-shaped car gets its original push
to 350 miles an hour from a jet engine. Then a rocket fires up, pushing the SSC past 1,000 miles an hour.
In order to keep the car streamlined (流線型的), the driver lies back at a 45-degree angle (角度).
     You're having a blast at your friend's birthday party. But when it's time to bring out the cake, everyone
crowds around, blocking your view. No worries. Throw the Triops into the air, and this clever camera
captures the view from above. The Triops can take three pictures at once, each from different angles. You
can also record sounds and command the Triops to start shooting whenever it hears that noise. That's one
smart camera.
                                                           
1. What is the common characteristic of the Venturi Eclectic and the Bedol Water-powered Clock?
A. They don't need batteries.
B. They are difficult to operate.
C. They can be powered by water.
D. They are environmentally friendly.
2. According to the passage, the Venturi Eclectic _____.
A. is popular with businessmen
B. is suitable for a long trip
C. can turn wind into energy
D. has only a little gas emission
3. The underlined phrase "having a blast" in the last paragraph probably means _____.

D. recording sounds
4. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The Triops is sensitive to sounds.
B. The driver of the SSC must be of great size.
C. The color of the Bedol Water-powered Clock is like that of lemon.

     Nearly all the visitors to southeast France pay a visit a Monaco, too. Lying near the French-Italian

its great neighbour.

Italian king. The French and Italian, however, soon came to protect it one after another until 1861, when

the palace for the Prince stands, and Monte Carlo, which is a wonderful place for visitors. Every year,
about half a million people come to Monaco, nearly 25 tiroes as much as its population.
     Believe it or not, Monaco has no soldiers or policemen of its own. Law and order is kept by the
French police, and the French stand for it in its foreign affairs, even the money used in Monaco is the
franc, too.
