I was in a shopping mall，so I decided to go and get a cup of coffee．As I was making my way to the coffee shop，I noticed an old gentleman poorly dressed sitting near the shop．I knew from the first sight that he needed help．He had a little lunch in front of him and was enjoying it．It was clear that he had a problem with his right eye．I then joined the line and waited to be served．
Then it happened．One of the most beautiful gestures（姿态） I had ever seen in my life．There was a young man in front of me in the line who was also waiting to be served．The next thing I knew was that the young man handed the waitress（女服务员） 20dollars and requested a glass of juice as a favor（善行）．The waitress looked at the young man a little perplexed，not fully understanding the request．That was when the young man asked her to give the juice to the old gentleman eating his lunch outside，as well as the change（零钱） from the 20dollars．The young man also told her that he would be watching every second so that she would be completely safe．
Then there was a wonderful exchange between the waitress and the old man．I only wished I
could take a photo of the smiles on both of their faces．
As I was considering this event later，I wondered why the young man didn't perform this act of kindness himself．Maybe he was hoping that this act of kindness might inspire（激励） others to do something for this old man as well．

Here are three toys on the 2016 US hot toy list．
Why？it has something to do with the quality of the toys．Companies are not allowed to lie．But they can try to make you believe that you want something．Keeping your eyes open for these marketing tricks（策略）．
Showing Famous Faces
Why is Simone Bile's picture on your breakfast box？Why does Taylor Swift drink Diet Coke？They may love those products．But they're also paid by those companies．Companies invite stars，and even cartoon characters to stand up for the products．
Forcing FOMO
FOMO stands for Fear of Missing Out．If you think you won't be able to get a product because it's selling quickly，you're more likely to rush to buy it．That's why you see "limited edition（限量版）" products．Apple，for example，uses this rule when it gives out limited numbers of new photos to create shopping excitement．
Creating Collections
Think Shopkins．The company creates groups of products，like ice cream balls and teacups．Then it tries to advise you to buy them all to complete your collection．Many products have found success this way．Then they ended up in a box in your house．Ask yourself：Do I want this because I like it？Or am I just trying to collect more than my friends？
Playing Mind Games
Marketers want you to think that buying their product will change you in some way．They want you to thing "buying this brand（品牌） is going to make you cool，happy，or popular，"says Professor Ahern．Marketers try to control your view of the brand by using a story，imagery，music，or people．Then，whenever you're about to buy something，they hope that image will pop into your mind，making you choose their product over anther．
So now you know．This Black Friday，be sure to shop smart．

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（感应器） all around which can find other cars and objects in the road．Road signs are read by cameras，and satellite navigation systems（卫星导航系统） 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．
42．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
43．The third paragraph mainly tells us about the of driverless cars．
A．instructions
B．standards
C．advantages
D．tests
44．The underlined word "potentially" in Paragraph 4 means" "．

B．successfully
C．especially
D．naturally．
45．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．
