Henry Frd built the Quadricycle
In 1896, the great inventive engineer Henry Frd finished building his first car, called the Quadncycle, in a small shed behind his huse. He became ne f the wrld's mst successful businessmen later —— but this time he had badly miscalculated. The cmpleted Quadricycle wuldn't fit ut thrugh the dr. He'd built it bigger than the width f the dr. Henry had t use an ax e t chp ut the drframe t make the pening wider. Then he culd ultimately get his pineering creatin ut fr its first drive. It is nw an exhibit in Henry Frd Museum.
Nel Gallagher frgt buying a car

The turn f the year is traditinally the time fr reviewing ne's life, and perhaps fr making sme reslutins as t what t cncentrate n in the cming year: and fr many years pa st I have taken advantage f the hliday perid t review my wn gal and ambitin.
One thing I d decide t d this year, with sme unwillingness, is t give up writing the Grumpy Old Bkman clumn in this magazine. It's nt that I've lst interest m the bk wrld, yu understand.But Lenard Wlf, husband f writer Virginia Wl, used t say that a man shuld change his career every seven years. Thugh persnally I wuld say that changing yur whle career s ften is ging a bit far, I d find. during my wn wrking life, that it acts as a great refresher if yu can ccasinally try a new jb with in the same rganizatin r line f business.
It is in fact well ver 15 years since ur editr wrte t me and asked if I wuld be interested in writing a regular piece abut what was, even then. a rapidly changing publishing scene. He apprached me because since 2004 I had been writing a regular blg called. amazingly enugh, Grumpy Old Bkman.
As my mnthly survey f develpment s in bth traditinal and digital publishing cntinued, in this magazine, I began t realize that writers in this century, f bth fictin and nn-fictin, are living in smething clse t a paradise. Once, yu struggled fr years t find a publisher——r an agent if yu wanted ne——but nw yu can publish yur wn stuff, either digitally r in paperback, withut it csting yu a penny piece. Amazing.
After abut five years f prducing such clumns, at just under a thusand wrds a time, it ccurred t me that, rather than let these essays drift away n the seas f time. it might be f value t ptential readers t publish my thughts and cmments in bk frm. Hence. in 2014. I published the first 69 GOB clumns in paperback frmat, using Amazn's Create space facilities. Title: Writers Rejice! A mnthly diary f the dawn f the digital age, which was my first trial. And nw I sincerely wish a new 2022.

B. Dedicated but easy t dubt himself.
C. Emtinal and gd at cntrlling himself.
D. Ambitius but reluctant t change himself.

Asterids(小行星) are believed t have frmed early in ur slar system's histry —— abut 4.5billin years ag —— when a clud f gas and dust called the slar nebula (太阳星云) cllapsed and frmed ur sun and the planets. By visiting these near Earth bjects t study the material that came frm the slar nebula, we can lk fr answers t sme f humankind's mst arresting questins, such as: Hw did the slar system frm and where did the Earth's water and ther rganic materials such as carbn cme frm?'In additin t unlcking clues abut ur slar system, asterids may prvide clues abut ur Earth. By understanding mre abut asterids. we may learn mre abut pa st Earth impacts and pss1b1y7Ind ways t reduce the threat f future impacts.
If we dn't want t g the way f the dinsaurs-smeday, we need t prtect urselves against the threat f being hit by a big asterid. Accrding t NASA, typically abut nce every 10,000 years, a rcky r irn asterid the size f a ftball field culd crash int ur planet and pssibly cause tidal waves big enugh t fld castal areas.
But what we really have t fear is asterids abut 328 feet acrss r bigger. Such an impact wuld cause a firestrm and fill the atmsphere with sun-blcking dust, which wuld wipe ut frests and farm fields and starve the human and animal life that it didn't immediately kill.
That's why it's vital t develp a way t neutralize such a threat t Earth. NASA's Duble Asterid Redirectin Test, launched in la te Nvember 2021, was the first missin t demnstrate a technlgy called asterid redirectin by manmade impactr. A rbtic spacecraft will be crashed int an asterid named Didyms, in an effrt t shw that it's pssible t slightly change the path f an asterid. That wuld enable NASA t redirect ptential threats t miss Earth.
28. What is the first paragraph mainly abut?
A. Hw slar system came int being.
B. Hw lng asterids have existed.
C. Why asterids are t be explred.
D. When asterids will impact Earth.
29. Why des the authr mentin dinsaurs I n paragraph 2?
A. T make the text mre interesting.
B. T intrduce the tpic f the text.
C. T grab readers’ attentin t asterids.
D. T shw the disaster frm an asterid impact.
30. Which can best replace “neutralize” underlined in paragraph 4?
A. strengthen B. avid C. beautify D. realize
31. What can we knw abut asterids?
A. Dinsaurs may live n sme f them.
B. They were frmed earlier than Earth.
C. Explring them helps us knw Earth.
D. NASA's Duble Asterid Redirectin Test failed.
D
The US Institute f Electrical and Electrnics Engineers (IEEE) recently asked scientists. lawyers,scial scientists and ther experts t cnsider sme f these ethical dimensins. T give tw examples:n privacy, as we let mre listening devices int ur hmes. hw d we prevent the data they cllect falling int the wrng hands thrugh hacking(黑客) r simply being sld between cmpanies withut us receiving any mney? Anther example: mixed reality. including virtual reality, will becme pervasive in the next few years. As we mve frm headsets t what the IEEE cmmittee describes as "mre subtle and integrated sensry enhancements”we will use technlgy t live in an illusry wrld in many aspects f ur lives. Hw d we balance the rights f the individual, cntrl ver ur virtual identity, and the need t live and interact n a face-t-face basis while being empwered t live rich lives in mixed reality?
There is, f curse, always a tensin between innvatin and regulatin. But it can ften see m that grant steps are taken in technlgy with minimal public discussin. Take the self-driving car: althugh it may be safer than human drivers and is likely t save mre than a millin lives a year wrldwide, it will als take jbs frm dnvers, traffic plice. sign-makers, car-repair cmpanies, carmakers and mre. Is this a bargain we want t make? In taking that decisin, have we given thught t a car that knws everywhere we g, decides rutes. perhaps, based n paid advertisements frm shps alng the way——and listens and sees everything we d n bard? What will happen t that data and can it be kept safe?
Additinally, while sme wrry abut the uncmmn“trlley prblem” f whm the car shuld chse t hit in a freak accident——an ld lady r a mther and baby——perhaps the mre frequent issue will be hw we find ut what the algrithm(算法) was thinking at the time f an accident, because AIs (Artificial Intelligence) are self-learning and devise their wn strategies.
Similar cncerns are emerging ver the internet f things. Rbt vacuum-cleaners already plt cleaning cycles using cmputer-aided visin that, fr sme mdels, is relayed t their manufacturers. As mre things at hme becme cnnected. they will be hackable and the data they cllect sellable.
It's time fr sme messy. demcratic discussin s abut the future f AI.
32. What is the purpse f the tw examples in Paragraph 1?
A. T cast sme light n hacking m ur mdern life.
B. T lead the reader. t think f ethical issues brught by hi-tech.
C. T lead in the fllwing example cncerning the self-driving car.
D. T list the existing prblems that caught the attentin f experts.
33. What des the underlined wrd“pervasive” in Paragraph I mean?
A . Intelligent B. Pwerful. C. Widespread. D. Skillful.
34. What is the authr's attitude twards the big steps in technlgy?
A. Psitive. B. Negative. C. Cautius. D. Unclear.
35. Hw dcs the authr supprt his claim?
A. By expsing sme underlying prblems in high-tech.
B. By calling n peple t mve away frm innvatin.
C. By Illustrating Al's abilities in self-leaning strategies.
D. By displaying ur cmputer-aided life in future.

"Everything happens fr the best," my mther said whenever I faced disappintment. "If yu carry n, ne day smething gd will happen. And yu'll realize that it that previus preparatin.”
