The world would be a very different place if someone hadn’t invented the lift. There would be few, if any, high-rise buildings because people would refuse to climb many stairs. By the time workers reached their offices on the top floors of a tower building, it would be time to go home – if they were not too tired for the long walk down！
The first lift that we know about was used by the Greek scientist, Archimedes, in about 230 BC. It was a simple place that could be pulled up and down with a rope. A lift like this was used much later in the 12th century by priests who lived on top of a mountain at Metereo in Greece. Because they were afraid of killers, the priests had not built any stairs up the mountain. The only way up was by lift, which priests worked from the top of the mountain.
A few hundred years later, a Frenchman, Villayer, invented a ‘flying chair’ which used a rope and a place. A number of rich people had these ‘flying chairs’ built in their homes, including Queen Anne of England in Windsor Castle and Louis XVI of France at Versailles. Unluckily, Louis’ daughter was badly hurt when using one of the chairs, and Villayer ran away, afraid that he would be punished.
The main problem for lift engineers was that either humans or animals were needed to pull the ropes. This problem was not worked out until the discovery of steam power. But even steam powered lifts were not always safe because they also used ropes which sometimes broke. If the rope broke - which it sometimes did - the lift fell to the ground and people in it were killed or hurt. This problem worked out in 1854 when an American, Elisha Otis, invented something which stopped the lift from falling if the rope broke. At first Otis lifts were used only in factories, then in 1857 he built one in a large New York store. Now lifts use electric power and are completely safe. They also travel very quickly. Some lifts travel faster than 60 kilometers an hour.
1.The writer thinks that lifts are important today because __________.
A. people like playing on them　　　　　　　　
B. they are the best way of using steam power
C. we need them for tall buildings 　　　　
D. workers are lazy
2.The 12th century priests had a simple lift instead of stairs because ___________.
A. they thought the stairs were broken　　　
B. they liked having stairs and a lift
C. the lived at the bottom of a mountain　　
D. they were afraid of killers
3.Villayer thought he would be punished because ____________.
A. poor people could not afford his ‘flying chair
B. someone was hurt in one of his ‘flying chairs’
C. his ‘flying chair’ did not work at all　　　　　　　
D. he ran away with Louis XVI’s daughter
4.Steam power meant that ________　 .
A. they did not need a living thing to pull the ropes
B. Elisha Otis could invent a lift that would not fall
C. the rope always broke
D. they could use lifts in factories

What would the world be like if cars could drive themselves? Imagine seeing an empty car passing by on its way to pick up its owner, or a car full of passengers who are reading, listening to music or even sleeping, but none of them are worried about the road ahead.
Well, all of this could be the future of driving. There are several companies, including Google, working on driverless (无人驾驶的) cars, which are currently in the testing stages. If the tests are successful, these electric, self-driven cars could be available very soon. But, how is it possible for a car to drive itself?
Cars already have many features allowing them to take over for drivers in certain situations. Some features include cars being able to park themselves, or slow down when they detect objects (物体) close by. They can also control the speed if there are dangerous conditions, such as snow or slippery (滑的) roads.
Other features have also changed the way drivers react to some situations. Scientists and engineers believe, with the help of wireless signals, cameras and GPS, we are now at a stage where creating a safe self-driving car might be possible.
The self-driven car may be the answer to lowering the number of deadly (致命的) accidents caused by careless drivers or dangerous conditions. However, there are still some people who do not like the idea. American lawyer Whit Drake, for example, doesn’t believe these cars are safe. He thinks the possibility of the technology making a mistake will be too high.
1.What does the underlined phrase “take over for” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. direct the way for B. take the place of
C. work better than D. make use of
2.Cars already have the following features EXCEPT ________.
A. parking itself
B. controlling its speed in dangerous situations
C. slowing itself down near an object
D. avoiding car accidents one hundred percent
3.Scientists and engineers think that ________.
A. it’s possible to make safe self-driven cars
B. it’s a long way for self-driven cars
C. there will be no drivers in the future
D. self-driven cars may cause more accidents
4.What does the article mainly talk about?
A. Advantages of self-driven cars.
B. Different opinions on self-driven cars.
C. Possibilities of self-driven cars.
D. Google’s new technology—self-driven cars.

Well, all of this could be the future of driving. There are several companies, including Google, working on driverless cars. So far, no Google self-driven car has gotten a traffic ticket, bus some of them have been in accidents when other cars hit them.
These cars are now still in the testing stages. But, if the tests are successful, these electric self-driven cars could be put into use very soon.
The cars already have many features（特点）allowing them to take the place of drivers during certain situations. Some features include cars being able to park themselves, or slow down when they notice objects close by. They can also control the speed if there are dangerous conditions.
Scientists and engineers believe, with the help of wireless（无线电的）signals, cameras and GPS, we are now at a stage where creating a safe self-driven car might be possible.
