Your next car could have two seats, three wheels --- two in front and one in the back and a top speed of more than 100 miles per hour. Elio Motors plans to make such a tiny car named the Elio. Its two seats sit front and back instead of side by side. The driver is positioned in the center with the passenger directly behind. The starting price for the car is just $6,800. It has only one door, on the left side, which cuts a few hundred dollars off the manufacturing costs. Having three wheels also makes it cheaper. It has air conditioning, power windows and door locks and an AM/FM radio. More features can be ordered through Elio's long list of suppliers. Elio will also sell the cars directly through its own stores and not through franchised dealers (特约经销商).

Paul Elio dreamed as a kid that he would one day own a car company called Elio Motors. In 2008, tired of high gas prices, he started working on a car that burns gas in a more effective way. Equally important to him was creating US manufacturing jobs and making the car inexpensive enough to attract buyers who might otherwise be stuck in their old, unreliable cars. \matters to you, this can move the needle on it, he said.

Already, more than 27,000 people have reserved one. Paul hopes to make 250,000 cars a year by 2020. So far, reservation holders are those who will use the Elio as

a second or third car for work. Paul Elio believes the car will interest college students as well as used-car drivers who want something newer and more reliable, though.

28. Which of the following shows the design of the Elio? (○= wheel, □= seat) A. B. C. D.

A. will be available in most stores B. does no harm to the environment C. has a fixed temperature D. is sold at affordable prices 30. Who will probably buy this kind of cars?

C. Families who are rich and yet don’t have a car D. High school students who want to practice driving 31. What is the main idea of the passage?

While every dog owner knows their dogs can read their moods perfectly, scientists have always been a little doubtful. Now thanks to some researchers at the University of Veterinary Medicine in Vienna, Austria, we finally have some convincing evidence.

For their study, biologist Corson Miller and his team exposes eleven selected dogs to digital images of women that were either angry or happy. Half the dogs were rewarded for touching the screen when shown a happy face, while the other half got their treat for selecting those that appeared angry.

Interestingly, the dogs were not provided with the entire face. Some dogs were shown only upper halves while the others observed lower halves. That's because the scientists believe humans show their emotions on their entire face.

After some training like how to recognize small differences like the wrinkles between the eyes or the changes in their shape that accompany the happy or angry expressions, the dogs were mostly able to identify the correct expression not only on a familiar face but on a strange face. The researchers concluded the dogs were smart enough to read human emotions.

They also found those being trained to read angry expressions took a longer time to learn. They guess it may be because dogs find angry faces disgusting, causing them to withdraw quickly. However, once the smart dogs realized they were getting rewarded, the trepidation seemed to disappear. In fact, the dogs had such a good time playing the computer \screens after the study was completed.

The researchers also noticed only dogs with a male owner had a harder time understanding the expressions correctly. Since the touch-screen models were all females, this confirmed what has been observed in previous studies dogs are more efficient at reading facial expressions of people that are the same gender as their owner.

32. How did the scientists conduct the experiment?

A. By leaving dogs to women who are either happy or angry. B. By mixing the selected dogs together.

C. By rewarding only half of the dogs touching the screen. D. By showing digital pictures of women’s happy or angry faces. 33. The underlined word “trepidation” in Paragraph 5 probably means . A. fear and hesitation B. curiosity and eagerness C. excitement and happiness D. doubt and sadness

34. According to the last paragraph, dogs with female owners______________. A. are fond of the male faces

B. are uninterested in telling the emotions on the entire faces

C. have difficulty telling the moods on the faces of males D. can only recognize emotions of females 35. What is the best title for this passage?
