What would the world be like if cars could drive themselves？Imagine seeing an empty car passing by on its way to pick up its owner，or a car full of passengers who are reading，listening to music or even sleeping．But none of them are worried about the road ahead．
Well，all of this could be the future of driving．There are several companies，including Google，working on driverless cars．So far，no Google self﹣driven car has gotten a traffic ticket，but some of them have been in accidents when other cars hit them．
These cars are now still in the testing stages．But，if the tests are successful，these electric self﹣driven cars could be put into use very soon．
The cars already have many features （特点）allowing them to take the place of drivers during certain situations．Some features include cars being able to park themselves，or slow down when they notice objects close by．They can also control the speed if there are dangerous conditions．
Scientists and engineers believe，with the help of wireless （无线电的）signals，cameras and GPS，we are now at a stage where creating a safe self﹣driven car might be possible．
The cause of deadly road accidents is usually careless drivers or dangerous conditions．The self﹣driven car may be able to prevent these．However，some people do not like the idea．American lawyer Whit Drake，for example，doesn't believe these cars are safe．He thinks that technologies can also be mistakes．
61．The main purpose of the first paragraph is to ．
A．make readers wonder about self﹣driven cars
B．get readers to pay attention to road safety
C．tell readers to keep away from heavy traffic
62．The testing self﹣driven cars need energy to run．
A．solar
B．nuclear
C．electric
63．From the passage，we know that the testing self﹣driven cars can already
A．avoid being hit by other vehicles on roads
B．control the speed in dangerous situations
C．turn around when getting near objects
64．What might make the self﹣driven cars run safely according to the passage？
a．e﹣reading
b．wireless signals
c．cameras
d．GPS
A．a，b，c
B．a，b，d
C．b，c，d

We all know that reading books builds a bridge between our life and the unknown world. In our country, people read books at any time. They enjoy reading books even when they’re on a break at the beach, or relaxing from a hike. Good reading habits lead you to a lifelong love of books. Here are some tips on how to develop good reading habits.
Choose the books which suit you. In most middle schools, teachers give students a reading list every few weeks. Most books are easy to read, like youth novels. The students themselves can also buy books which they’re interested in or the best-selling books.
Reading in short periods. 15 minutes after getting to school, 15 minutes while waiting for friends, 15 minutes before going to sleep. Then you can read books for about five hours every week in total.
Talk about your reading with your family or friends. This helps you have a better understanding.
