A
A jobless man Hambley applied for the position of "office boy" at Microsoft. The HR manager interviewed him then watched him cleaning the floor as a test.
"You are employed" he said. "Give me your e-mail address and I'll send you the application to fill in, as well as date when you may start."
Hambley replied "But I don't have a computer, neither an email."
"I'm sorry", said the HR manager. "If you don't have an email that means you do not exist. And who doesn't exist, cannot have the job."
The man left with no hope at all. He didn't know what to do, with only ten dollars in his pocket. He then decided to go to the supermarket and buy ten kilograms tomatoes. He then sold the tomatoes in a door to door round. In less than two hours, he succeeded to double his capital（本金）. He repeated the operation three times, and returned home with sixty dollars.
Hambley realized that he can survive by this way, and started to go earlier every day, and return late. Thus, his money doubled every day. Shortly, he bought a cart, then a truck, and then he had his own fleet of delivery vehicles. Five years later, Hambley is one of the biggest food retailers in the US.
He started to plan his family's future, and decided to have a life insurance. He called an insurance broker(代理人), and chose a protection plan. When the conversation was concluded the broker asked him his email. Hambley replied, "I don't have an email."
The broker answered curiously, "You don't have an email, and yet have succeeded to build a company. Can you imagine what you could have been if you had an email?" Hambley thought for a while and replied, "Yes, I'd be an office boy at Microsoft!"

It remains a curiosity and a bit of a historical mystery why we don't all drive on the same side of the road. The fact is that most people are right-handed; that's why, for much of history, drivers have stuck to the left. Ancient Romans using two-wheeled carriages are believed to have held the reins(缰绳) with their right hands and a whip with their left; to avoid whipping the near drivers, they favored the left-hand side the road. It's also easier for right-handers to get on a horse from the left, so riders were attracted to that side to avoid the near traffic as they climbed on and off. Finally, knights(骑士) and the other drivers favored the left so they could do battle, if necessary, with their good hand.
So why does most of the world travel on the right side today? Theories differ, but there's no doubt Napoleon was a major influence. The French have used the right since the late 18th century. Some say that before the French Revolution, people in upper class drove their carriages on the left, forcing the peasantry to the right. During the violence, fearful rich people sought to mix with the peasantry by traveling on the right as well. Regardless of the origin, Napoleon brought right-hand traffic to the nations he conquered, including Russia, Switzerland and Germany. Hitler, in turn, ordered right-hand traffic in Czechoslovakia and Austria in the 1930s. Nations that escaped right-handed conquest, like Great Britain, kept their left-handed tradition.
5. Who had a major effect on “keep-right” traffic law?
A. Ancient Romans B. Hitler
C. Napoleon D. Austrians
6. What does the second paragraph mainly tell us?
A. Napoleon brought right-hand traffic to the nations he conquered.
B. Hitler ordered right-hand traffic in Austria.
C. Great Britain escaped right-handed conquest.
D. The reasons that most of the world drives on the right side.
7. What does the word peasantry in the last paragraph mean?
A. People in upper class.
B. Right-handers.
C. Drivers.
D. Poor people.
8. Apart from Great Britain, which country mentioned in the text keeps left-hand traffic?
A. France B. Ancient Rome
C. Russia D. Germany

C
Some experts feel that cars are certain to fall into disuse. They see a day in the not-too-distant future when all cars will be deserted and made useless. Other experts however think the car is here to stay. They hold that the car will remain a leading means of city travel in the foreseeable future.
The car will undoubtedly change greatly over the next 30 years. It should become smaller, safer and more practical and should not be powered by the gas engine. The car of the future should be far more pollution-free than present types.
Unless changes take place in the power system, the car in the future will still be the main problem in city traffic jams. One suggested solution to this essential problem is the automated (自动的) system which seems to hold water.
When the car enters the highway system, a small arm will drop from the car and connect with a rail which is similar to hose (橡皮软管，水龙带) powering subway trains electrically. Once joined to the rail, the car will become electrically powered from the system and control of the car will pass to a central computer. The computer will then monitor all of the car’s movements.
The driver will use the telephone to dial instructions about his position and the place he heads for into the system. The computer will find the best way and reserve space for the car all the way to the correct exit from the highway. The driver will be free to relax and wait for the call that will warn him of his coming exit. It is believed that an automated highway will be able to deal with 10,000 cars per hour, compared with the 1,500 to 2,000 cars that can be carried by a present-day highway.
9. What is the main concern of the author of the passage?
A. How to make cars pollution-free.　　　　　
B. How to make cars smaller and safer.
C. How to solve the problem of traffic jam.
D. How to develop an automated subway system.
10. We can infer from this passage that 　　　　　　　　.
A. the car connected to the rail on the highway will be powered by electricity
B. people are trying to find new means to power automobiles
C. the driver under the system will be told where to get out of the highway
D. the future car will become larger, faster, prettier and less expensive
11. What provides cars with electric power in an automated highway system?
A. An engine.　　　　B. A rail.　　　　　　　　
C. A computer controller.　　　　D. A small arm.
12. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A. The driver puts his information in the system by e-mail.
B. The new system can deal with 10 times as many cars as the present one.
C. After entering the automated system the driver needs to do nothing but relax himself.
D. Some experts are not confident of the car’s future while the author is in favor of the opposite view.
