The car is as small as a bike but can carry two people in it. Everybody can drive it easily, just like riding a bike. Even children and old people can drive them to schools and parks.If everyone drives such cars in the future, there will be less pollution in the air. There will also be more space for all the cars in cities, and the streets will have more space for people to walk. Three such cars can fit in the space now needed for one car of the usual size.The little cars of the future will cost much less money to own and to drive. And they can go only 65 kilometers an hour, so driving will be safer, too.The cars of the future will be fine for getting around a city, but they will not be useful for a long trip.This kind of car can save a lot of gasoline. They will go 450 kilometers before needing to stop for more gasoline.If big cars are still used along with the small ones, two sets of roads will be needed in the future. Some roads will be needed for the big, faster cars and other roads will be needed for the small, slower ones.判断正误：24. The little car are surely to take the place of the big cars.( )25. This new kind of car can carry as many people as the usual cars.( )26. If everyone drives such cars in the future, there will be less pollution in the air.( )27. Driving the little car will be more dangerous.( )28. If big cars are still used along with the little ones, only one set of roadwill be needed in the future.( )BIn England, people often talk about the weather because they can experience (经历) four seasons in one day. In the morning the weather is warm just like in spring. An hour later black clouds come and then it rains hard. The weather gets a little cold. In the late afternoon the sky will be sunny, the sun will begin to shine, and it will be summer at this time of a day.In England, people can also have summer in winter, or have winter in summer. So in winter they can swim sometimes, and in summer sometimes they should take warm clothes. When you go to England, you will see that some English people usually take an umbrella (伞)or a raincoat with them in the sunny morning, but you should not laugh at them.If you don't take an umbrella or a raincoat, you will regret (后悔) later in the day. Just as the saying goes: When you are in Rome, do as the Romans do. The same is true that when two people meet for the first time, the safest topic for them to begin with a conversation is the weather. But remember: it’s just a small talk. So, when a stranger is trying to talk about what’s the weather like with you, you needn’t offer the details of the weather, for what he really wants to do is to greet you.29.
