​The position of a car's fuel door (if you can actually remember where it is) remains one of the greatest unsolved motoring mysteries.

Do car company engineers draw straws (抽签) to decide what side of the car the fuel door goes on? No. According to Ford spokesman Mark Schirmer, as reported on the Allstate Blog, engineers are free to place fuel doors on the side of the car that offers the easiest packaging. And while one on each side would be rather convenient, we're not likely to see double fuel doors anytime soon—there's neither the room nor the demand for them.

"The placement of the fuel door is mainly a factor of fuel tank design, location, and underbody packaging," Nissan's Steve Yaeger told the Allstate Blog." With all of the structure and components located underneath the vehicle, engineers would quickly encounter restrictions in trying to route the filler tube to the same side on every vehicle."

Schirmer says Americans prefer fuel doors on the left side of their cars, probably because it makes it easier for them to place their car's left fender close to the fuel pump. For this reason, itˈs possible that drivers in the U. K., Australia, New Zealand, India, and other countries who drive on the left side of the road favor a right-hand-side fuel door. But thereˈs nothing to confirm that driver preference is a factor. There are regulations about where the fuel door should be positioned, but these donˈt specify the right or left side of the car.

If you canˈt remember the location of your fuel door, simply look at the little diamond-shaped arrow on the fuel gauge (燃油量表) on your dashboard—it points to the side of the car where the fuel door is. Do it before you pull up to the pump, to avoid the embarrassment of having to get back into your car and drive to another pump.

1.Why don't all cars have gas tanks on the same side?

A.Engineers place fuel doors where they like.

B.Drivers ask for its position due to their driving habits.

C.It troubles engineers if they are on the same side.

D.There are regulations about which side it should be positioned.

2.Why do Americans prefer fuel doors on the left side?

A.They are left-handed.

B.Itˈs convenient for their fuel filling.

C.It is easier to place their carˈs right fender near the fuel pump.

D.There are many cars with a right-hand-side fuel door in America.

3.What does the underlined word "it" in the last paragraph refer to?

A.The fuel door. B.The fuel gauge.

C.The dashboard. D.The diamond-shaped arrow.

4.What is the best title for the text?

A.Tips to Identify the Location of the Fuel Door

B.The Popularity of a Right-hand-side Fuel Door to American Drivers

The time our students didn't spend in school was mostly spent consuming: products, media and entertainment. What can we do about it—especially during these long summer months when our kids expect to be entertained? 1..

We should encourage our kids to travel. I'm not talking about the grand European tour. Travel is simply an opportunity to help our kids to learn to see different social and economic arrangements.

Start close to home and visit a different neighborhood. 2.. Travel need not be about changing locations, hut reaching across generations to break out of the artificial age segregation (隔离) of our time.

Few experiences help our kids discover the distinction between needs and wants. It’s doesn't have to be a hike through the Yukon, but just living out of a backpack for a long weekend where they take an active role in planning meals, buying food and setting up the tent. 3.. Instead, they'll have been the planners, the decision makers and the risk calculators.

4.. So we should work with our children to build reading lists of books. Becoming a reader grows our horizons (视野), our appetite for the good, the true and the beautiful.

5.. Because the health of our society not only depends on shared principles like laws, but it is also built on the strength of its citizens and local self-reliance. This sould be a gift of these long summer days to our children.

A. Vacations are no reason for children to be lazy

B. We also want our kids to travel into literature

C. Travel is a great thing, but it needs time and money

D. Your kids can learn to work for their community

E. However, solving the problem in a single summer is not enough

F. You don’t have eyes to see your own community until you’ve visited another

G. The key thing is not to have been passive consumers

Exercise is one of the few factors with a positive role in long-term control of body weight. Unfortunately, that message has not gotten through to the average American, who would rather try switching to "light" beer and low-calorie bread than increase physical efforts. The Centers for Disease Control, for example, found that fewer than one-fourth of overweight adults who were trying to lose weight said they were combining exercise with their diet.

In rejecting exercise, some people may be discouraged too much by caloric-expenditure（热量消耗）charts; for example, one would have to quickly walk hard three miles just to work off the 275 calories in one delicious Danish pastry(小甜饼). Even exercise professionals accept half a point here. "Exercise by itself is a very tough way to lose weight," says York Onnen, program director of the President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports.

Still, exercise's supporting role in weight reduction is vital. A study at the Boston University Medical Center of overweight police officers and other public employees confirmed that those who dieted without exercise regained almost all their old weight, while those who worked exercise into their daily routine maintained their new weight.

If you have been sedentary (极少活动的) and decide to start walking one mile a day, the added exercise could burn an extra 100 calories daily. In a year's time, assuming no increase in food intake, you could lose ten pounds. By increasing the distance of your walks gradually and making other dietary adjustments, you may lose even more weight.

1.What is said about the average American in the passage?

A. They tend to hate "light" beer and low-calorie bread.

B. They usually ignore the effect of exercise on losing weight.

C. Most of them were combining exercise with their diet.

D. They know the actors that play a positive role in keeping down body weight.

2."Even exercise professionals accept half a point here" means "They ________".

A. agree that the calories in a small piece of pastry can be easy to work off by exercise

B. partially believe diet plays a supporting role in weight reduction

C. are not fully convinced that dieting can help maintain one's new weight

D. are not sufficiently informed of the positive role of exercise in losing weight

3.What was confirmed by the Boston University Medical Center's study?

A. Controlling one's calorie intake is more important than doing exercise.

B. Even occasional exercise can help reduce weight.

C. Weight reduction is impossible without exercise.

D. One could lose ten pounds in a year's time if there's no increase in food intake.

4.What is the author's purpose in writing this article?

A. To stress the importance of maintaining proper weight.

B. To support the statement made by York Onnen.

C. To show the most effective way to lose weight.

D. To introduce the study of the Boston University Medical Center.
