Today’s drivers may feel shocked by the high price of petrol when they drive to the gas station. However, the car industry has the technology to solve the problem. It’s the hybrid car（混合动力汽车）.

What is a hybrid car? Any car that uses two or more sources of power is a hybrid car. Most hybrid cars on the road right now are petrol-electric hybrids. The petrol-electric hybrid car is just what it sounds like — a cross between a petrol-powered car and an electric car.

A gas-powered car has a fuel tank（油箱）, which supplies petrol to the engine. An electric car, on the other hand, has a set of batteries that provides electricity for the car.

To be useful to you or me, a car should be able to run at least 300 miles (483 km) before refueling, be capable of(能够) being refueled quickly and easily and fast enough to keep up with the other traffic on the road.

A petrol car meets these requirements（要求）but produces a large amount of pollution. An electric car, however, produces almost no pollution, but can only go 50 to 100 miles (80 to 161 km) between recharging(充电). And the problem has been that the electric car is very slow and inconvenient to recharge.

A petrol-electric car combines the advantages of the two power sources into one system that uses both gas power and electric power. Some experts believe that the hybrid car is “the next generation of smart cars”. A hybrid car can go up to 50% further than a traditional car can on the same amount of gas! It saves driver’s money on gas and cuts air pollution!

1.What do the underlined words “the problem” in Paragraph 1 refer to?

2.How many sources of power do most hybrid cars use?

3.The author thinks that electric cars _____.

4.Some experts believe that the hybrid car will have a large market in future because _____.

What is your most memorable(难忘的) Thanksgiving? For me, it was on the eve of the day.

The church had the names of ten families with more children and less pay planned to receive food baskets. As we packed the boxes in the fellowship hall, these families were excited over the food they were taking home. It would be the best meal many hadn’t enjoyed for months. As they were picking up their boxes happily, another family arrived. Father, mother and three children got off an old pickup truck and came inside the hall. This was a new family, not on our list. They had just heard there was food being given by a church.

I explained that we did not have enough for an extra family. And as I tried to make them sure that I would do what I could, an amazing thing happened.
