f﹣control is a skill that children need to succeed in school，soci
ally and emotionally.The development of self﹣control begins at bi
rth and continues throughout our lives.As babies，we have little o
r no control over our behaviors and emotions，but as we get older，
with the help of parents or caregivers，we learn how to take turns
，how to pay attention in class，stick to a challenging task，and re
strain（制止）from hitting another child.These abilities continue to
develop in our childhood and then youthhood.Also，it is clear that
being impulsive（易冲动的）can have bad effects on children，causing in
terpersonal problems，poor physical health，and psychiatric disorde
rs.Therefore，by learning self﹣control，children can make right dec
isions and respond to situations in positive ways.One of the effe
ctive strategies，when helping children develop self﹣control abili
ties，is to select developmentally proper tasks.Try setting up sim
ple goals first，where success is expected，before moving onto the
next goal.For preschoolers，goals might include not interrupting o
r not fighting on the playground.For early elementary school stud
ents，right goals might be following bedtime rules.However，it''s no
t enough to set up simple goals，because for children of the same
age，there are still some differences in the development of self﹣c
ontrol abilities.Some general strategies often help them learn ri
ght self﹣control behaviors.?Take a breakEncourage children to tak
e a break or"time in"whenever they feel down，annoyed or angry.Ste
pping away from an upsetting situation can help a child calm down
.?Teach and provide attentionPaying attention is a skill that can
be taught.Encourage children to resist interrupting by learning
to observe others without talking，so they can join in easily.Make
sure to provide children with attention at times so they don''t f
eel ignored and therefore are unlikely to interrupt.?Use proper r
ewards（奖励）In order to develop positive behaviors，children need fr
equently positive feedback.Praise and consistent feedback can be
highly rewarding for young children.It is important to let a chil
d know what a desired behavior is.?Use activities designed to tea
ch self﹣regulation（自我管理）Using specific activities can help teach
young children skills that improve self﹣control.Some of these ski
lls include dealing with "wanting something I can''t have"，underst
anding feelings，and controlling anger.（1）What can we learn from P
aragraph 1？A.As people get older，their attention will improve nat
urally.B.Being impulsive can often cause bad results in children''
s grades.C.Children can learn how to control themselves with the
help of parents.D.Self﹣control development begins at birth and ke
eps growing till youthhood.（2）What can teachers do when students
feel very disappointed？A.Teach and provide attention.B.Give rewar
ds and suggestions.C.Teach skills to regulate themselves.D.Encour
age them to take a break.（3）Which of the following would be the b

ifferent kinds of plastics.The new studies could lead to easier h
igh﹣quality（高质量的）recycling，and help deal with toxic（有毒的）plastic p
ollution.The world is being covered by plastic，but only about 9%
of plastic products are ever recycled.Every year，over 7.72 trilli
on kilograms of plastic finds its way into the world''s oceans.But
bacteria（细菌）may help recycle，even when humans don''t.Bacteria are
small living things-so small that we need a microscope（显微镜）to se
e them.Bacteria feed themselves in many different ways.Some bacte
ria can"eat" other things by changing the chemicals（化学物质）in those
things into something that will help the bacteria grow.The secre
t of this is enzymes（酶）.Bacteria use enzymes to cause chemical c
hanges.Enzymes can work like a pair of scissors，cutting and break
ing apart other materials.Most people know PET plastic.It is used
in water and soda bottles.About 63.5 billion kilograms of PET pl
astic is produced every year.Most PET is thrown away，but even whe
n it is recycled，it can''t be made into new bottles.Usually it''s t
urned into products like carpets（地毯）.In 2012，in the decaying（腐烂的）
leaves，scientists discovered an enzyme called LCC that slowly bre
aks apart PET plastics.Years later，scientists working at the Fren
ch company Carbios chose LCC from nearly 100，000 enzymes.It was t
he best at breaking down PET.But the scientists wanted to improve
LCC.They studied the enzyme and the way it attacked the PET.By t
esting thousands of small changes to the enzyme，they came up with
a new kind of LCC.The new kind can be alive at higher temperatur
es and can eat through PET very quickly.The process turns the PET
plastic back into the materials that it was made from.Those mate
rials can then be used again to make new bottles or other product
s.The researchers compared their new LCC with the old enzyme，and
were satisfied with the results.When the environment was just rig
ht，the new LCC was able to break up 90% of the PET in just ten ho
urs.The old enzyme took about 20 hours and only broke up half of
the PET.（1）How much PET plastic is produced every year？A.About 7.
72 trillion kilograms.B.About 63.5 billion kilograms.C.About 100
thousand kilograms.D.About 2 hundred kilograms.（2）What do you kno
w about the bacteria from the passage？A.Bacteria can be seen with
our eyes.B.Bacteria can break down other materials directly.C.Ba
cteria use enzymes to create physical changes in things.D.Bacteri
a are small living things that feed on unusual forms of "food".（3
）According to the passage，what is the relationship between PET pl
astic and LCC？A.The earliest LCC couldn''t break down PET plastic.
B.LCC can help stop PET plastic from breaking down.C.PET plastic
can now be recycled faster because of a new kind of LCC.D.The use
d PET plastic will become another kind of pollution because of LC

ly？education prepares kids to have a meaningful career （职业）in a f
ield they enjoy.So thinking and learning about career choices bef
ore high school is always a good idea.But when should kids begin
career education？When you were a kid，what did you want to be when
you grew up？A teacher？A doctor？Or a baseball player？Preschool﹣ag
ed children naturally think about their future careers.By imagini
ng，exploring and role﹣playing，kids are likely to choose careers t
hat interest them.Encouraging this career role﹣playing is healthy
and can be quite telling；kids often clearly prefer either left﹣b
rained or right﹣brained roles.At some point beyond the role﹣playi
ng stage，students should be shown to a more serious career educat
ion curriculum（课程）.You may think that career education isn''t all
that necessary until kids finish high school，because that''s when
they''re usually expected to get a job or choose a course of study
in college.Experts（专家）disagree."The influence of early involveme
nt can have a hugely good effect on wider academic（学术的）achievemen
ts，helping both children and their families to see a future which
is achievable writes Robert Half on，chair of the Education Selec
t Committee in the UK.Many experts accept the idea that career ed
ucation should begin at a young age.They suggest career education
in school should progress as follows：?Kids in primary school sho
uld learn about why people work.?Kids in early middle school shou
ld learn about the importance of a career in earning money.?Kids
in grades seven through ten should begin to discuss and think abo
ut different jobs.?Kids in grades ten and beyond should discover
their strengths and interests，recognize suitable careers，and beco
me involved in specific activities to help them understand what t
hey need to work on to do their dream career.Starting career educ
ation early prepares students for the real world by making the co
nnection between what they，re learning in school and why they5 re
learning it.For example，if a child wants to build tall buildings
and knows that math skills are necessary in such a career，the ch
ild will be more likely to study，rather than hate，math.Career edu
cation opens kids'' minds to all that is possible.And，at the end o
f the day，isn''t that what parents and teachers want for their kid
s and students？（1）What can we learn from Paragraph 2？A.Kids feel
confident about choosing their careers.B.It''s natural for kids to
change their career choices.C.Kids do career role﹣playing to dev
elop their interests.D.It''s normal for kids to think about their
future careers.（2）Experts suggest that career education in school
should.A.develop in different gradesB.promise kids academic succ
essC.help kids know their strengths firstD.provide kids with rich
job experience（3）What does the example of the child who wants to
build tall buildings show？A.Math skills are the most important i
n school education.B.Career education can help children find out
what they want to do.C.Children who want to build tall buildings
are usually good at math.D.Career education makes children more w
illing to study for their future jobs.（4）The writer probably agre

unds almost too good to be true，but a new study on sleeping brain
s suggests that listening to languages while you sleep can actual
ly help you to learn them.For the study，researchers played record
ings of foreign words and their translations to students who were
enjoying slow﹣wave sleep.During this period，a person has little
knowledge of their environment.To make sure that the results were
not compromisedby foreign language words that students may have
had someconnection with at some point in their waking lives，resea
rchers made up the words which cannot be found in the foreign lan
guage at all.When the students woke up，they were presented with t
he made﹣up words again without their translations.The students we
re then asked to imagine whether this made﹣up word showed an obje
ct that was either smaller or larger.This vague（not very clear）wa
y of testing their understanding of the words is a method that is
supposed to make use of the unconscious（无意识的）memory.The research
ers were surprised to find out that the students were able to cor
rectly group the words in this way.And their accuracy rate（精确度）wa
s 10 percent higher than accidental chance.That''s not a rate high
enough to help them get ability of communicating with others in
a foreign language，but it is enough to suggest that the brain is
still taking in information on some level，even during sleep.It ha
s been long believed that sleep is important for memory，but befor
e this research its role in memory was thought to relate only to
the preservation（保存） and organization of memories that students g
ot during wakefulness.This is the first time that memory formatio
n（形成） has been shown to be active during sleep.In other words，our
brains are listening to the world，and learning about it，even whe
n we are unconscious of what is happening around us.The next step
for researchers will be to see whether new information can be le
arned quicker during wakefulness if it was already presented duri
ng sleep.If so，it could forever change how we train our brains to
learn new things.Sleep learning might become a widespread practi

that makes him laugh﹣and the more reasons there are，the more pow
erful the joke will be．If your joke supports the opinions of a pe
rson，he will laugh more.I was attending a talk show in Egypt，and
when the man started to make fun of the way pedestrians（行人）cross
the streets，everyone laughed their hearts out.The main reason tho
se people strongly laughed was that almost all of them felt angry
towards pedestrians who crossed the streets carelessly.The joke
wasn''t only funny，it also made people feel that they were right a
bout being angry at those pedestrians.That is，people were laughin
g both because of the funny joke and because of the happiness exp
erienced as a result of the psychological support they got．The be
tter a joke makes a person feel，and the more it includes other ps
ychological factors，the more the person will like it.For example，
if you are jealous（嫉妒）of a friend，and someone tells a joke that i
s funny and，at the same time，makes your friend seem stupid，then m
ost probably you will laugh at it louder than if you weren''t jeal
ous of him．In short，we don''t laugh only when we hear something fu
nny；we also laugh when we experience some kind of happiness that
results from the other psychological factors involved in the joke
.I strongly discourage making fun of anyone or belittling（贬低）some
one to make someone else laugh.All I want to explain is that if y
our joke supports a person''s emotions in any possible way，he will
certainly like it a lot.You can do this in a better way by suppo
rting their opinions without making fun of anyone in a funny way
to make them laugh.（1）Before studying psychology，the writer thoug

imate（气候）change than young people．Yet it''s adults who have the po
wer to influence the policies（政策）causing climate change．Now a new
study shows that teenagers may be able to raise their parents'' i
nterest in human effects on climate．In the study，a new curriculum
（课程）was used in some schools in coastal North Carolina．The studen
ts worked on four activities centered on the connections between
climate change and local wildlife．They also took part in a commun
ity﹣based project and interviewed their parents about the changes
in weather they had noticed in their lifetimes．To see how attitu
des changed as a result of the program，the researchers surveyed b
oth students and parents at the beginning and the end of the stud
y．The study shows the students who completed the climate change m
odule cared more about the issue（问题）．The effect was even stronger
among parents．Experts say the program''s success had a lot to do
with how teachers dealt with climate change in the classroom．"Rea
ding a textbook and completing a worksheet are unlikely to lead s
tudents to talk about their day at the dinner table，"says Martha
Monroe，an expert on environmental education at the University of
Florida．Instead，the researchers designed hands﹣on lessons focused
on local issues．For example，one task involved monitoring the wea
ther outside the school and comparing it with historical informat
ion about the area．Those activities may have helped increase pare
ntal involvement．"If you can get kids so excited and talking with
their parents about what they are learning in schools，parents wi
ll want to learn，"says Danielle Lawson，a social scientist and lea
ding researcher of the study．However，she adds，"We are not telling
the students what to think or what to say．That way，kids didn''t f
eel that there was all this responsibility put on them to change
their parents'' minds about anything．"Lawson is hopeful that kids
can boost their parents'' understanding of climate science．"I know
how powerful kids can be，"Lawson says．"Kids don''t need a special
curriculum to discuss climate change at home．They just need to t
alk to their parents about what they see going on．"（1）The second

he presenter looked into the culture of handing out participation
（参与）trophies to children．There''s no doubt that today''s kids live
in a world of scoreless games and everyone gets a trophy．Sometime
s when a league decides to award（奖励）just the winners instead of a
ll participants，the parents buy their own trophies for the whole
team!However，when we try to protect children from losing at the e
arly ages，are they less prepared when real competition kicks in？P
eople who support giving trophies say they want to make each chil
d feel special，but how does this make them feel special？Stanford
University looked at this recently and found that although kids r
eact positively to praise﹣they enjoy hearing that they''re talente
d，smart and so on，they break down at the first experience of diff
iculty．Discouraged by their failure，they say they''d rather cheat
than risk failing again．There are also endless social﹣science stu
dies showing the harmful effects of easy competition，not just on
the psyche（精神）but more surprisingly on achievement．If children kn
ow they will get an award simply by showing up，what is the reason
for improvement？Jean Twenge，writer of Generation Me，warns that w
hen living rooms are filled with participation trophies，it''s part
of a larger cultural message：to succeed，you just have to show up
．In college，those who''ve grown up receiving these endless awards
do the required work，but don''t see the need to do it well．In the
office，they still believe that attendance is all it takes to get
a promotion（晋升）．When I was a child，I earned my fair share of trop
hies but none of them was for just showing up．I also missed out o
n even more and had to watch my friends collect them while I stoo
d by and clapped．I realized that in life，I''m going to lose more o
ften than I win，even if I''m good at something，and I''ve got to get
used to that to keep going．When children make mistakes，our job s
hould not be to turn those losses into decorated（装饰性的）victories．I
nstead，our job is to help kids overcome difficulties，to help them
see that progress over time is more important than a certain win
or loss，and to help them politely congratulate those who succeed
when they fail．To do that，we need to refuse all the meaningless
trophies．（1）The writer mentions Stanford University''s study to sh
ow that________．A．kids should be awarded for their special talent
sB．necessary protection helps kids deal with failureC．parents sho
uld try their best to keep kids out of competitionD．overpraise is
likely to reduce kids'' ability to face difficulties（2）The writer
probably agrees that________．A．attendance is the key to making p
rogressB．participation is more important than victoryC．getting aw
ards easily stops kids from working hardD．participation trophies
give kids a sense of achievement（3）From his childhood experience，
the writer has learned that________．A．it''s difficult to accept fr
iends'' victoriesB．it''s beneficial to learn from teammatesC．it''s i
mportant to face winning or losing properlyD．it''s necessary to be
excellent at something to succeed（4）Which of the following would

reality is a way to create a computer﹣made environment that bring
s the user into a virtual world．If you ever have put on a VR head
set，you would know exactly what I am talking about．From an experi
ential view we do understand the idea，but what about the technica
l backend that goes into making it all possible？In this blog，we w
ill understand the technology behind virtual reality and the basi
c terms about the development of a virtual ecosystem for a VR hea
dset．The primary subject of virtual reality is simulating（模拟）the
vision．Every headset is to perfect their method to create an imme
rsive（浸入式）3D environment．Each VR headset puts up a screen or two
in front of eyes，keeping the user away from any interaction with
the real world．Two autofocus lenses（自动对焦镜片）are generally placed b
etween the screen and the eyes that change based on eye movement
and positioning．The vision appears on the screen either by using
a mobile phone or HDMI line connected to a PC．To create a truly i
mmersive virtual reality，there are certain requirements﹣a frame r
ate（帧率）of at least 60 fps，a refresh rate and at least 100﹣degree
field of view（though 180 degrees is perfect）．If either of these d
oesn''t work according to the standards，the user will experience t
oo big of a time difference between their actions and the respons
e from the screen．We need the response to be less than 20 ms（1/10
00 second）to fool the brain which is achieved by joining all the
above in the right proportion（比例）．Another matter that needs to be
looked at here is to prevent netsickness because of the differen
ces between the frame rate and refresh rate．Apart from the image，
there are certain other things that go into creating an immersive
VR experience，holding the user''s attention completely in the vir
tual environment．For example，sound effects，when put with the imag
e，can create very attractive effects．By using a headphone and 3D
sound effects，the user can totally believe in the virtual environ
ment．While perfecting sound effects，proper care needs to be taken
about the consistency（一致）between the pictures and the sound．If y
ou start playing frightening music in the background of a happy s
cene，it will just put the user off．In future，we will see rapid pr
ogress in creating a truly immersive digital experience．With lead
ing players like Google，Microsoft，Oculus，and HTC making great eff
orts to improve the capabilities（性能），we are not far from achievin
g a virtual reality that would feel so much better than the real
world．If you would like to develop a VR app for your business，the

obile technologies，we can make every dream a reality．（1）A VR head

1．（2019 北京朝阳区 九年级期末）Studies have shown that a good night''s rest h
elps us stay healthy，both mentally（精神上）and physically，Dr，Michael
Twery，an expert（专家）on the science of sleep and sleep disorders，sa
ys，"Getting a good night''s sleep is important for learning becaus
e it stores the training and learning exercises into our long﹣ter
m memory while we''re sleeping 7 to 8 hours．And then the next morn
ing，our mind is better prepared to perform．"But what about gettin
g some rest during the middle of the day？Does napping（sleeping fo
r a short time）also help our brain work better？If it is really he
lpful，then how long can a proper nap last？Napping can help babies
and young children learn better．Also，it can stop older people su
ffering（遭受）from memory loss．Some people have sleep problems at ni
ght，so they nap during the day as a way of paying off a sleep deb
t．They hope napping may make them feel less tired and sleepy duri
ng the day．In America，it is a shame for people to admit（承认）that t
hey do take a nap．They suppose napping shows they are weak or sho
rt of energy．That only children，the very old，sick or lazy people
nap is a widely﹣accepted opinion．However，that may be changing．Man
y offices now offer napping rooms，and napping cafes are appearing
in many U.S.cities．Unlike America，napping is part of a normal，ev
eryday life in other parts of the world．For example，China is gene
rally considered as a land of nappers．Researchers found nearly 60
percent of old Chinese people took a nap after lunch and most of
them napped for about an hour．The study found that people who to
ok an hour﹣long nap did much better on mental tests than those wh
o did not nap or who napped for longer periods．It seems that the
most helpful nap lasted for about an hour．But Dr．Michael Twery me
ntions that an hour﹣long nap may be too long for young，healthy ad
ults．"We''re suggesting that we try to nap for about 30 minutes or
less．And 30 minutes is enough to help us feel more awake．"He als
o found that someone who naps because of bad sleep at previous ni
ght may not experience the same improvements from napping as a he
althy，well﹣rested person would．So，the right thing to do is to get
enough sleep at night and take a proper nap for about 30 minutes
．But remember not to take a nap later than 3：00 in the afternoon，
which may cause a sleep problem．（1）According to the passage，Dr．Mi
chael Twery probably agrees that________．A．napping only helps the
healthy，well﹣rested people improve their brain performanceB．napp
ing shows people are very sick and lazy in some countriesC．people
had better take a nap before 3：00 in the afternoonD．young，health

ur planet is the number of things we throw away.Rubbish of all ki
nds is piling up in landfill and polluting our rivers and oceans.
A more recent addition to the list of things we throw away is e﹣w
aste—electronic items（物品）that are broken and not recycled.Now sol
utions are being found to give this waste a new life.Many million
s of tons of televisions，phones，and other electronic products are
thrown away each year，partly because it''s cheaper to replace the
m than to fix them，but also because we don''t have enough skills t
o repair them.A UN report says 50 million tons of e﹣waste is prod
uced every year，and it will be more than double to 110 million to
ns by 2050.That makes it the fastest growing waste in the world.H
owever，repair events and clubs are getting popular nowadays.That
could be part of a solution to the increasingly terrible e﹣waste
problem.The BBC visited a Restart Project in London，which is one
of many found around the world.One of its volunteers，Francesco Ca
lo，said that"the purpose of the project is to reduce waste，and he
lp people who cannot afford to repair them."As there are many val
uable metals（金属）in electrical items，another idea is e﹣waste minin
g（矿）.An experiment at the University of New South Wales involves
taking these materials from electronic products.It''s thought that
doing this could be more likely to make money than traditional m
ining.With phones typically having as many as 60 elements（成分），thi
s could be part of the solution to our desire for new technology.
These projects make total sense—collections of e﹣waste for recycl
ing are "decreasing" according to Ruediger Kuehr，of the United Na
tions University.And in countries with no related law，much of it
just gets thrown away.However，if the government decides to be inv
olved，there will be some effective methods to deal with e﹣waste.T
ake the European Union as an example.It is now trying to solve th
e problem by insisting companies have to make products longer﹣las
ting and will have to supply spare parts for machines for up to 1
0 years.（1）What is e﹣waste？（2）How much e﹣waste is produced every

In the Americas，Asia，and Africa，there''s a special kind of forest﹣
the cloud forest.Cloud forests are usually found from 500 meters
to 4，000 meters above sea level in the clouds on the slopes（斜坡）of
mountains.They experience rainfall，but they also get water strai
ght from the air.The water is unpolluted，and moves through the gr
ound into streams and then rivers.Cloud forests are very importan
t to both people who live nearby and the animals and plants livin
g there.They provide water to nearby villages and cities.People d
rink the water，use it for cooking，and irrigate（灌溉）their farm fiel
ds with it.In Kenya，people even use water from cloud forests to p
roduce electricity.Although cloud forests only make up 2.5 percen
t of the world''s rainforests，they are also home to many animals a
nd plants.Unfortunately？cloud forests now face many problems.Loca
l poor people clear the cloud forests.They cut down trees to grow
food and use the wood to heat their homes and cook.Building road
s also badly harms the cloud forests.Once cloud forests are clear
ed，the cloud cover which is important and necessary to the growth
of these forests，goes away.Another bigger worry is that the temp
erature increases gradually.If world temperatures rise，cloud fore
sts will have to move up to a higher place where the temperatures
are cooler.But some cloud forests on mountain tops with nowhere
to climb will die out.Scientists fear we might lose cloud forests
along with the water and other services they provide.Some govern
ments have taken actions to protect cloud forests.They make laws
against cutting down trees in the cloud forests.They provide the
local people with other ways to get food and energy.They also edu
cate the local people on how cloud forests provide fresh water an
d what will happen when they are cleared.Cloud forests are too va
luable to lose.We must save them﹣plus the animals and plants they
support﹣before it''s too late.（1）How many meters above sea level

末）What do you say when you pick up the phone？You say "hello"，of c
ourse．What do you say when someone introduces a friend，a relative
，anybody at all？You say "hello"．"Hello" has been for a long time
considered to be the standard English language greeting since Eng
lish people began greeting．But is that true？It may be the most sp
oken word on the planet and the English word that most people lea
rn first．The word is so familiar to us that it''s surprising how n
ew it is： "hello" has only been in use for about the last 200 yea
rs of the 1000﹣year history of English．The Oxford English Diction
ary says the first published use of"hello"goes back only to 1827．
But it wasn''t mainly a greeting back then．People in the 1830s sai
d "hello" to attract attention（"Hello，what do you think you''re do
ing？"），or to express surprise（"Hello，what do we have here？"）．But
the true breakthrough for this now﹣common word was when it was us
ed in the service of brand﹣new technology：the telephone．According
to the Oxford English Dictionary，it was Thomas Edison who put"he
llo"into common usage．He asked the people who used his phone to s
ay "hello" when answering﹣which required people to address an uns
een and unknown person．It was simpler and more efficient（高效的）than
some other greetings used in the early days of the telephone，suc
h as "Do I get you？" and "Are you there？" However，the actual inve
ntor of the telephone，Alexander Graham Bell，thought that the bett
er word was "ahoy"，which turns out to be much longer﹣at least 100
years longer﹣than"hello"．It too，was a greeting from the Dutch（荷兰
语）"hoi" meaning "hello．"For his entire life，Bell insisted on answ
ering the phone with "Ahoy．""Hello" obviously caught on，and sprea
d along with the telephone．Had it not been for Edison，our greetin
gs might be very different today．It could be possible that we are
still greeting people with "Ahoy" when picking up the phone．（1）H

s get their energy from petrol（汽油），But some cars use electricity．
They get their power from large batteries（电池），There are also some
cars that have both an electric motor and a petrol motor．They ar
e called hybrid cars．Most people think of electric cars as a new
invention？but they have been around for a long time．In the late 1
9th and early 20th centuries electric cars were popular because t
he technology for petrol engines was not highly developed．But whe
n the petrol engines became easier to make and more powerful，they
became more popular．Interest in electric cars was high in the 19
70s and 1980s because oil became very expensive．Recently？electric
cars have again become popular because people want cars that pol
lute less．Electric cars are better than petrol cars in several wa
ys．The biggest benefit is that they can reduce pollution．In areas
with a high percentage of electric cars？there is less pollution．
But it is important to understand that electric cars still cause
pollution．The electricity to power electric cars has to come from
a power station．Unless these power stations run on solar or wind
energy，they are most likely burning fossil fuels（化石燃料）．The secon
d benefit of electric cars is a reduction in the dependence on fo
reign oil．Since electric cars can run on electricity from coal or
nuclear power（核能）stations，there is less of a need to import oil．
There are some problems with electric cars as well．One disadvanta
ge is that electric cars are more expensive than petrol cars．This
is mostly because of the high cost of the batteries．They need to
be charged in special places．Right now，there aren''t enough place
s where people can charge the batteries．Another problem is that e
lectric cars cannot travel as far as petrol cars．Some people are
afraid that the battery will run out of electricity before they r
each their destination．Despite these problems，many people，includi

ars will increase in the future．（1）What do electric cars get thei
