Lots of people buy books and products from Amazon, an online seller. They offer and pay over the Internet and the books are shipped through the mail or a delivery service like FedEx.

One day, people could get their Amazon deliveries from an “unmanned aerial vehicle”—a timely vehicle that looks like a toy helicopter. And instead of waiting days to get the parcel, it could be at the buyer’s home in half an hour or less. The company is working on a fleet of tiny vehicles they call “Prime Air”. The vehicles are also known as “octocopters”. On their website, Amazon says, “One day, Prime Air Vehicles will be as normal as seeing a mail trucks on the road today.”

The U.S.’s Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is working on safety regulations for unmanned flying vehicles like the Prime Air copters. Those regulations will make sure the copters are able to fly safely where they need to go. Once the FAA has put its rules in place, which could be as early as 2016, Amazon will be ready with its fleet of tiny flyers. The process could take as many as five years.

The new delivery service would likely be available only in the United States, at first. The copters the company is testing now can handle packages up to five pounds (2.3kg) and they have a range of 10 miles (16 kilometers).

Other companies are also looking at using unmanned flying vehicles to deliver their products. For instance, Domino’s Pizza in the U.K. released a video showing a “DomiCopter”, delivering a pizza. That video may have been a publicity stunt（噱头）. In any case, just like Prime Air’s octocopters, the DomiCopters don’t have clearance（许可）to take off just yet.

1.For what purpose does Amazon want to use the Prime Air?

A. To predict the sales volume.

B. To check the delivery service.

C. To shorten the delivery period.

D. To remind people to order online.

2.What do we know from Amazon’s words in paragraph 2?

A. The Prime Air Vehicles will still travel on the road.

B. The Amazon’s delivery system needs to be improved.

C. The Prime Air Vehicles will be widely put into use soon.

D. The creation of the Prime Air Vehicles was inspired by the mail trucks.

3.The Prime Air Vehicles will be regulated by the U.S.’s FAA for __________.

A. the design plans

B. the delivery price

C. the driver’s training

D. the safety assessment

4.What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us about the new delivery method?

A. Its safety　 　　 B. Its delivery ability

C. Its appearance　 D. Its moving speed

5.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A. The new delivery service has attracted more customers.

B. The designer of Amazon has promoted “Prime Air” to other company.

C. Another unmanned vehicle has been put into use by a British pizza company.

D. Unmanned vehicles could possibly be developed and employed by more companies.

When I came to Cincinnati as an au pair (家庭打工留学生), a lot of things there were different from what I knew. My host family lived in a huge house I could only describe as a "castle"．In Germany I had lived in a small apartment together with my mom. Soon I found out that the "castle" was actually rather small in our neighborhood.

Everybody there was very friendly and polite. They greeted you when they were walking by at least 3 feet away from you. They must not have seen a German au pair before, for most people I met asked me all kinds of questions about Germany. I enjoyed answering their various strange questions. I made a lot of friends and I started to hang out with them.

Of course, there were a number of new things, and it took me the whole year to find them all out. I never got homesick. Perhaps it was because I did not have too many negative experiences and felt loved and welcomed there.

However, I had undergone________some painful experiences back in Germany. I was frustrated by the way people would run me over and not even say "Sorry."  Taking up my studies at the TU-Dresden, I felt lonely. Everybody here seemed to be withdrawn(离群的) and I missed everything I had in Cincinnati. Germany was so "cold". I found it so much harder to make new friends. After six months I got a roommate and only two good friends. I also flew back to Cincinnati several times for long periods. I felt that without those visits I was not able to make it.

Now I am over this German culture shock. It almost took me an entire year. I am still going back and forward between Dresden and Cincinnati four times a year.

1.When the author lived in Cincinnati, ________.

D. she lived in the biggest house in the neighborhood

C. painful　　 D. strange

C. Advantages of living in USA　　 D. How to be an au pair in USA

''They're made out of meat. ''

''Meat? ''

''There's no doubt about it. We picked up several from different parts of the planet, took them aboard our craft, and probed them all the way through. They're completely meat.''

''That's impossible. What about the radio signals? The message to the stars? ''

''They used the radio waves to talk, but the signals don't come from them. The signals come from machines. ''

''So who made the machines? That's who we want to contact. ''

''They made the machines. That's what I'm trying to tell you. Meat made the machines. ''

''That's ridiculous. How can meat make a machine? Maybe they're like the Orfolei. You know, a carbon - based intelligence that goes through a meat stage. ''

''No. They're born meat and they die meat. We studied them for several of their life spans, which didn't take long. Do you have any idea what's the life span of meat? ''

''Spare me. Okay, maybe they're only part meat. You know, like the Weddilei. A meat head with an electron plasma(电浆) brain inside. ''

''No. We thought of that, since they do have meat heads, like the Weddilei. But I told you, we probed them. They're meat all the way through. ''

''No brain? So. . . what does the thinking? ''

''You're not understanding, are you? You're refusing to deal with what I'm telling you. The brain does the thinking. The meat. ''

''Oh, my! So what does this meat have in mind? ''

''First it wants to talk to us. Then I imagine it wants to explore the Universe, contact other creatures, exchange ideas and information. The usual. ''

''We're supposed to talk to meat! ? ''

''That's the idea. That's the message they're sending out by radio. 'Hello. Anyone out there? Anybody home? ' That sort of thing. ''

''They actually do talk, then. They use words, ideas, concepts? ''

''They do, but what do you think is on the radio? Meat sounds. They can even sing by forcing out air through their meat. ''

1.The ''meat'' probably refers to _________.

A.human beings on Earth

B.creatures on Earth

C.the Orfolei

D.the Weddilei

2.The two beings talking in the story seem to _________.

A.know the species of human beings a long time ago
