I

first

met

Paul

Newman

in

1968,

when

George

Roy

Hill,

the

director

of

Butch

Cassidy

and

the

Sundance

Kid,

introduced

us

in

New

York

City.

When

the

studio

didn’t want me for the

film

—

it wanted somebody as well known as Paul

—

he

stood

up

for

me.

I

don’t

know

how

many

people

would

have

done

that;

they

would have listened to their agents or the studio powers.

The

friendship

that

grew

out

of

the

experience

of

making

that

film

and

The

Sting four years later had its root in the fact that although there was an

age

difference,

we

both

came

from

a

tradition

of

theater

and

live

TV.

We

were

respectful

of

craft

（技艺）

and

focused

on

digging

into

the

characters

we

were

going to play. Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typical of

American actors: humorous, aggressive, and making fun of each other

—

but

always with an underlying affection. Those were also at the core

（核心）

of our relationship off the screen.

We shared the brief that if you’re fortunate enough to have success, you

should put something back

—

he with his Newman’s Own food and his Hole in

the Wall camps for kids who are seriously ill, and me with Sundance and the

institute and the festival. Paul and I didn’t see each other all that

regularly, zxx.k but sharing that brought us together. We supported each

other financially and by showing up at events.

I

last

saw

him

a

few

months

ago

Terrafugia Inc .said

Monday that its new flying car has completed its first

flight,bringing the company closer to its goal of selling the flying car

within

the

next

wehicle- named

the

Transition

–

has

two

seats

wheels

and wings that fold up so it can be driven like a Transition,which

flew at 1,400 feet for eight minutes last month, can reach around 70 miles

per hour on the road and 115 in the flies using a 23-gallon tank of gas and

bums

5

gallons

per

hour

in

the

air.

On

the

ground,

it

gets

35

miles

per

gallon.

Around 100 people have already put down a $$10,000 deposit to get a

Transition when they go on sale, and those numbers will likely rise after

Terrafugia introduces the Transition to the public later this week at the

New Yor

k Auto Show. But don’t expect it to show up in too many driveways.

It’s expected to cost $$279, it won’t help if you’re stuck in

traffic. The car needs a runway.

Inventors

have

been

trying

to

make

flying

cars

since

the

1930s,

according

to

Robert

Mann,

an

airline

industry

expert.

But

Mann

thinks

Terrafugia has come closer than anyone to making the flying car a reality.

The

govemment

has

already

permitted

the

company

to

use

special materials

to

make it easier for the vehicle to fly. The Transition is now going through

crash tests to make sure it meets federal safety siandards.

Mann said Terrafugia was helped by the Federal Aviation Administration’s

decision

five

years

ago

to

create

a

separate

set

of

standards

for

light

sport

aircraft,

which

are

lower

than

those

for

pilots

of

larger

planes.

Terrafugia

says

an

owner

would

need

to

pass

a

test

and

complete

20

hours

of

flying

time

to

be

able

to

fly

the

Trans

ition,a

requirement

pilots

would

find

relatively

easy

to

meet.

28. What is the first paragraph mainly about?

A.

The

basic

data

of

the

Transition. B.

The

advantages

of

flying

cars.

C.

The

potential

market

for

flying

cars.

C.

The

designers

of

the

Transition.

29. Why is the Transition unlikely to show up in too many driveways?

A. It causers traffic jams. B. It is difficult to operate.

C. It is very expensive. D. It bums too much fuel.

30. What is the govemment’s attitude to the development of the flying car?

A. Cautious B. Favorable.

C. Ambiguous. D. Disapproving.

31. What is the best title for the text?

A. Flying Car at Auto Show B. The Transition’s Fist Flight

When a leafy plant is under attack

，it doesn’t sit quietly. Back in

1983,two scientists,Jack Schultz and Ian Baldwin,reported that young maple

trees

getting

bitten

by

insects

send

out

a

particular

smell

that

neighboring

plants

can

get.

These

chemicals

come

from

the

injured

parts

of

the

plant and

seem to be an the plants pump through the air is a mixture of

chemicals known as volatile organic compounds,VOCs for short.

Scientists have found that all kinds of plants give out VOCs when being

attacked

.It’s

a

plant’s

way

of

crying

is

anyone

listening?e we can watch the neighbours react.

Some plants pump out smelly chemicals to keep insects others do

double duty .They pump out perfumes designed to attract different insects

who are natural enemies to the they arrive,the tables are

turned .The attacker who are natural enemies to the attackers . zxx|k Once

they

arrive,the

tables

are

attacker

who

was

lunching

now

becomes

lunch.

In study after study,it appears that these chemical conversations help the

neighbors .The damage is usually more serious on the first plant,but the

neighbors

,relatively

speaking

,stay

safer

because

they

heard

the

alarm

and

knew what to do.

Does

this

mean

that

plants

talk

to

each

other?

Scientists

don

’t

know.

Maybe

the

first

plant

just

made

a

cry

of

pain

or

was

sending

a

message

to

its

own

branches,

and

so,

in

effect,

was

talking

to

itself.

Perhaps

the

neighbors

just

happened

to

“overhear”

the

cry.

So

information

was

exchanged,

but

it

wa

sn’t

a

true,

intentional

back

and

forth.

Charles

Darwin,

over

150

years

ago,

imagined

a

world

far

busie

r,

noisier

and

more

intimate (

亲

密

的

)

than

the

world

we

can

see

and

hear.

Our

senses

are

weak.

There’s

a

whole

lot

going

on.

32.

What

does

a

plant

do

when

it

is

under

attack?

A.

It

makes

noises.

B.

It

gets

help

from

other

plants.

C.

It

stands

quietly

D.

It

sends

out

certain

chemicals.

33.

What

does

the

author

mean

by

“the

tables

are

turned”

in

paragraph

3?

A.

The

attackers

get

attacked.

B.

The

insects

gather

under

the

table.

C.

The

plants

get

ready

to

fight

back.

D.

The

perfumes

attract

natural

enemies.

can we infer from the last paragraph?
