You can change the size，shape or colour of any part on the computer to see 4 the car would look and then you can choose the best design.
Both the inside and the outside of the car have to be designed. Part of the inside of the car is 5 so that the designers can sit in it. They can feel if there is enough 6 inside and if they can reach 7 .Then some cars are built—there are more than 15，000 parts of a car to 8 .
When everything is known to be 9 ，the cars are made in the factory. Again，computers are used to make sure that all the parts are 10 as they are needed. The factory usually stays open all through the night so that the car production never stops.

The computer is fast and hardly makes a mistake, while people are slow and make mistakes sometimes. That’s what people often say when they talk about computers. For many years，scientists have been improving computers. Now a computer can do a lot of everyday jobs wonderfully. It is widely used in factories, hospitals, post offices and airports. A computer can report, decide and control in almost every field (领域).With the help of a person, a computer can draw pictures, write music, talk with people, play chess, translate languages and so on. Many computer scientists are now thinking of making computers “think” like a man. Perhaps computers will one day really think and feel. Some people are afraid that one day computers will be too clever to listen to them. But scientists tell us that such a thing will not happen.

That night the temperature dropped and everything was frozen including Frank’s drink. That didn’t stop him from tasting it, so today we have Popsicles to eat.

Mr Jones woke early one morning, before the sun had risen. It was a beautiful morning, so he went to the window and looked out.
He was surprised to see a neatly (整洁地) dressed professor, who worked in the university just up the road from Mr Jones’s house, coming from the direction of the town. He was carrying an umbrella, a morning newspaper and a bag. Mr Jones thought that he must have arrived by the night train and decided to walk to the university instead of taking a taxi.
Mr Jones had a big tree in his garden, and the children had tied a long rope (绳子) to it so that they could swing (荡秋千) on it.
Mr Jones was surprised to see the professor stop when he saw the rope, and look carefully up and down the road. When he saw that there was nobody in sight, he walked into the garden (there was no fence), put his umbrella, newspaper, and bag neatly on the grass and took hold of the rope. He pulled it hard to see whether it was strong enough to take his weight. Then he ran as fast as he could and swung into the air on the end of the rope. Backwards and forwards he swung, enjoying himself very much.
At last the professor stopped, combed (梳理) his hair carefully, picked up his umbrella, newspaper and bag, and continued on his way to the university, looking as quiet and correct and respectable as one would expect a professor to be.
11.The university was 　　　.
A. near Mr Jones’s house B. far from Mr Jones’s house
C. next to Mr Jones’s house D. behind Mr Jones’s house
12.Which of the following is TRUE?
A. When Mr Jones woke up, it was still dark. B. Mr Jones’s garden was protected by a fence.
C. The professor was carrying an umbrella because it was raining.
D. The professor looked like someone who cared a lot about dress.
13.The professor stopped by the rope because 　　　.
A. he thought that it was dangerous for the children B. he wanted to untie (解开) it from the tree
C. he wanted to play with it D. he had never seen so long a rope before
14.The professor pulled the rope to check that 　　　.
A. he could break it B. it could hold him C. he was strong enough D. it was tied to the tree
15.Which is the best title for the story?
A. A Beautiful Scene B. A Funny Teacher C. Mr Jones’s Neighbour D. Mr Jones’s Garden
