The year is 2025, and it’s 7:45 on a rainy Monday morning, and you are in your car and on your way to work. You turn left, and then you turn right. ______ When the light turns green and there are no other cars in the crossing, you continue on your way. Ten minutes later, you arrive at work and you stop reading the morning paper. Then, you get out of your car and you say, “Thank you!” ______ This possible future may sound unreal, but in fact many car companies are already testing robotic cars, or “driverless cars”, on the roads today.
______ By 2025 companies such as VOLVO, GM, Nissan and WMW plan to sell driverless cars. Driverless cars are not really “driverless” - the “drivers” are the computers that use radar, computer maps and other modern technology. They offer many advantages. ______ For example, in 1968 more than 53,000 people lost their lives in car accidents in the USA. In addition, people will spend less time stuck in traffic jams and there will be no need for people to have a driving license. ______ The technology is not free. US $ 5,000 to US $ 10,000 may be added to the price of a new car. At sometime in your life, you will probably be sitting in a driver-less car on your way to work or on your way to school. The future is almost here. Are you ready for it?

Every year in early April, many thousands of people in China visit the tombs of their parents, grandparents and ancestors. It is Tomb Sweeping Day, the traditional Chinese festival to remember the dead.
Tomb Sweeping Day falls on April 5 this year. On the day , Chinese families sweep the tombs and clean away the grass around them .Them they burn paper money and put flowers and fruit in front of the tombs. They hope the dead can enjoy them and bring the family good luck.
However, it is not only the Chinese who remember the dead. People in other countries also have festivals for the dead.
In Japan, O-Bon festival（盂兰盆节）is one of the most important festivals. It is held from August 13 to 16. It is also a holiday that serves as a family reunion. During O-Bon, Japanese people return to their hometown and visit their ancestors’ tombs. They also believe their ancestors’ spirits will return home to be reunited with their family. People perform a “bonodori” dance（盆舞）to welcome the spirits. On the last day of O-Bon, they put paper lanterns in a river to send off the spirits.
In Russia, people remember their ancestors on the Day of Rejoicing. It’s usually in late April or early May. The name of this festival means birth and happiness. Russians believe that people shouldn’t feel sad for the dead because death means birth in another world. On the Day of Rejoicing, Russian people draw beautiful pictures on eggs and put them in front of the tombs. After that they have a picnic together. They hope for a good life for both the living and the dead.

“Only a fool will pay for it” the boy shouted.
“Why don’t you have a try?” his father encouraged.
The boy nodded and said, “I will think of some way, but I can’t promise anything.” He carefully washed the old shirt and smoothed out the creases（褶皱）in it.
