In Los Angeles, drivers spend sixty-one hours every year stuck in traffic. These drivers know all too well how bad the traffic can be. “There’re too many cars, and you can’t move around a lot.”
Professor Cyrus Shahabi also knows about traffic jams. He lives more than 65 kilometers from his office at the University of Southern California, in Los Angeles. He is always late even with the help of a navigation (导航) system.He decided to develop a program called ClearPath for that. He says his program uses historicaldata to predict traffic conditions even before the driver leaves the house. “What’s unique (独特的) isthat we use a lot of data that’s currently become available including traffic data, weather data, and we analyze that so that we can predict what’s going to happen in front of you when leave home.”Professor Shahabi says his system does more than just answer current traffic conditions. With ClearPath, he says, a driver can decide what time he wants to leave, and ClearPath will give thefastest route. It looks at the entire road network, including surface streets as well as highways, before the driver hits the road. Professor Shahabi hopes to have ClearPath available nationwide and overseas once they can collect traffic data from other cities.
“I always thought that Los Angeles had the worst traffic, but now I know that Shanghai, Beijing, Seoul, Tokyo, believe it or not, Singapore, Hong Kong certainly are examples that can immediately use this.”Professor Shahabi hopes to share this new technology with companies that already have navigation systems, such as Google and Apple.
29.Professor Cyrus Shahabi is often late for work because of ________.

31.The underlined word “ hits” in the fourth paragraph probably means ________.

With a growing number of people in San Francisco choosing not to own a car, German car making company BMW has decided to branch out into carsharing services with 70 cars spread around the city, first in 14 locations, with a further 100 being added gradually.
“This is not an AtoA service—it is AtoB，” says Richard Steinberg, chief executive of the Drive Now scheme(方案), pointing out that members can pick up a car downtown for the halfhour drive to the airport for only $12, compared with about $40－50 for a taxi.
Whether that is possible in real life depends on traffic, of course. A midmorning drive from Union Square down Highway 101 to the airport takes just 22 minutes; however, driving back during the rush hour takes twice as long.
Most of the cars that are stuck in San Francisco’s traffic jams are giving off all sorts of harmful gas. But not Drive Now’s BMW Active E cars.
“All the cars in San Francisco are electric，” Mr Steinberg says.
In San Francisco, handing back the car to Drive Now is easy—just pick one of its dropoff points, park and walk away. There are no forms to fill in, no timeconsuming(耗时的) rules.
Several other carmakers and other players within the motor industry are experimenting with similar schemes, for example Daimler’s Car2go scheme, which is operated in many cities around the world.
“We picture a future where carsharing members outnumber car owners in big cities around the world，”says Car2go spokesman Andreas Leo.
28. What does the underlined part “branch out into” probably mean?
A. To start offering. B. To try improving.
C. To make use of. D. To take control of.
29. The Drive Now scheme________.
A. works better in rushhour traffic
B. makes city driving less dangerous
C. encourages people to buy a cheap car
D. allows drivers to pay money to use a car
30. What’s special about BMW Active E cars?
A. They are time-saving. B. They don’t get stuck in heavy traffic.
C. They are environmentally friendly. D. They are money-saving.
31. Which of the following statements is Not True according to the passage?
A. Some people in San Francisco feel it inconvenient to have a car.
B. Car2go spokesman Andreas Leo is confident of car-sharing services.
C. The Drive Now scheme is a quite success.
D. The competition in car-sharing is fierce.
If you are a fruit grower — or would like to become one —join in Apple Day to see what’s around. It’s called Apple Day but in fact it’s more like Apple Month. The day itself is on October 21, but since it has become popular, events now last through most of October around Britain.
Visiting an apple event is a good chance to see, and often taste, a wide variety(品种) of apples. To people who are used to the limited kinds of apples such as Golden Delicious and Royal Gala in supermarkets, it can be quite eye-opening to see some classical apples still in existence, such as Decio which was grown by the Romans. Although it doesn’t taste of anything special, it’s still worth a try.
There are also varieties developed to suit certain local conditions. One of the very best varieties for eating quality is Orleans Reinette, but you’ll need a warm, sheltered place with perfect soil to grow it, so it’s a pipe dream for most apple lovers who fall in love with it.
At the apple events, you can also meet expert growers and discuss which ones will best suit your conditions, and because these are family affairs, children are well entertained with apple-themed fun and games.
Apple days are being held at all sorts of places with an interest in fruit, including stately gardens and commercial orchards(果园). If you want to have a real orchard experience, visit the National Collection at Brogdale, near Faversham in Kent.
18. What can people do at the apple events?
A. Attend experts’ lectures.
B. Visit fruit-loving families.
C. Taste many kinds of apples.
D. Plant fruit trees in an orchard.
19. What can we learn about Decio?
A. It is a new variety. B. It is rarely seen now.
C. It has a strange look. D. It has a special taste.
20. What does the underlined phrase “a pipe dream” in Paragraph3 mean?
A. A clever idea. B. A selfish thought.
C. A great plan. D. A useless hope.
Love, success, happiness, family and freedom----how important are these values to you? Here is one interview which explores the fundamental questions in life.
Question: Could you introduce yourself first?
Answer: My name is Misbah, 27 years old. I was born in a war-torn area. Right now I’m a web designer.
Q: What are your great memories?
A: My parents used to take us to hunt birds, climb trees, and play in the fields. For me it was like a holiday because we were going to have fun all day long. Those are my great memories.
Q: Does your childhood mean a lot to you?
A: Yes. As life was very hard, I used to work to help bring money in for the family. I spent my childhood working, with responsibilities beyond my age. However, it taught me to deal with problems all alone. I learnt to be independent.
Q: What changes would you like to make in your life?
A: If I could change something in my life, I’d change it so that my childhood could have taken place in another area. I would have loved to live with my family in freedom. Who cares whether we have much money, or whether we have a beautiful house? It doesn’t matter as long as I can live with my family and we are safe.
Q: How do you get along with your parents?
A: My parents supported me until I came of age. I want to give back what I’ve got. That’s our way. But I am working in another city. My only contact with my parents now is through the phone, but I hate using it. It filters(过滤) out your emotion and leaves your voice only. My deepest feelings should be passed through sight, hearing and touch.

Tim was walking home from school one day when he noticed a boy ahead of him. He had tripped (绊倒) and dropped all of the books he was carrying along with some clothes, a baseball bat and a glove.
