A small man with a big stomach got on the train at the last station before the frontier(边境). He carried a paper bag, And four feet of ducks could be seen under the cover. The man found a seat, put the bag in the middle of the floor, took out a newspaper and began to read.

Then a policeman came in. Of course he saw the bag with the ducks’ feet at once and said, "Whose is that bag?" Nobody answered, The policeman asked the question again and said, "I will have to take it away from the owner. Food mustn’t be taken out of country." "Well, then," said the small man with a big stomach. "Hurry up and take it away. We want to go home." The policeman took the bag and went on to the next carriage (车厢).

At the next station, when they were safely across the frontier, the small man got up, smiled at other passengers and said, "I hope they’ll enjoy the ducks’ feet. The bag that the policeman took away had nothing but rubbish in it." Then he opened his coat and pointed to another bag he was carrying under it. It was tied over the stomach and it was not really big. "I have the rest of the two ducks here," he said. With these words, he got off the train.

On a sunny day last January, people got together at a parking lot in Las Vegas to see small vehicles that looked more like colorful eggs than ordinary cars. These vehicles were electric, ran on two wheels instead of four and held only two passengers. Thanks to their tiny size, six of the vehicles would fit in a parking spot. If the idea of parking such a small car makes you nervous, don’t worry: these cars can park themselves. And they can return to their owners when controlled by a button on a cellphone.

The vehicle is called the EN-V(Electric Networked-Vehicle). It is built by General Motors, or GM, and it points to what future vehicles might be like. It is designed to be energy-saving, solve environmental problems and help ease traffic jams, parking and safety concerns. The automaker　 says　 its　 next　 concept　 car(概念车)　 will　 help　 drivers　 get　 whatever　 they　 want.

According to GM, the company has also designed an electric vehicle named Lean Machine. However, it is a small three-wheeler and this single-seater vehicle looks like a motorcycle. One day, such small, electric vehicles might safely carry people around，especially in crowded cities.

Scientists and engineers are finding new ways to make cars safer, smarter and more efficient, or use less energy. New cars may help you keep track of your health by reminding you to take medicine. If it’s electric, your car may send you a message reminding you to recharge it. Cars will talk to other cars, your computer, your phone and your iPad. They’ll help drivers save energy, watch out for other drivers and avoid walkers on the streets.

This is the future of vehicles: safer, smarter and more energy-saving. Besides, they might even drive themselves down the highway or through a city. You can sit back and enjoy the ride.

1.Why did people get together at a parking lot?

A.They wanted to see some colorful eggs. B.They came to see an unusual parking lot.
