It has been a dream for 30 years but now the world’s first flying car is set to hit the roads this year.

Ever since the “Back to the Future” movies lit up our screens in the 1980s， designers have dream of cars that could take to the sky at the push of a button. And now pilots can order their own “roadable” plane for just t 127，000.

The plane， which has fold- out wings that span（翼展）17.5f， has a range（连续的） flying distance of 460 miles and can be up to 115 mph. Back on the land， it can also travel at “highway speeds” in car mode（状态）

Fuelling the 19 ft long plane couldn't be simpler-you just drive it into a petrol station and fill it up.

A spokeswoman said，"You can keep your light-sport airplane in your garage. But because it needs a short runway to take to the air， you will have to drive to your local airport， fly up to 460 miles， land， and drive directly to your destination. You will always be ready to drive or fly."

The spokeswoman added， "Never let bad weather change your trip. You can simply divert（改道）and continue on the ground until the weather clears.”

There’s no risk to you----this is only the chance for you to be the first at your home field to unfold your wings and fly into the future.

A.can fly at “highway speeds” in car mode B.is a kind of car with fold-out wings

C.pilots can’t afford a “roadable” plane D.cars can fly in the sky

3.What does the underlined word “it” in the 5th paragraph refer to？

A.call for people to buy the “roadable” plane

B.show people the use of the “roadable” plane

C.tell people only the “roadable” plane can fly in the future

What’s the first thing that you notice when you walk into your favorite restaurant? Is it the smell of fresh pizza, or the sight of your favorite desserts? Food that looks and smells good will probably taste good, but what about sound? Is that important?

Scientists now believe that the taste of food can change when your ears hear different sounds, but it has to be the right kind of sound. When you turn on a microwave with popcorn in it, it soon starts to pop. Do you think “That sounds tasty!”? Not really, you probably think it’s nearly ready. But when smell it, you go to get the salt and the butter. Hearing the popcorn make you think about it, but smelling it tells you that it tastes good. So what are the sounds to change the tastes of the things?

In an experiment in a fish restaurant, customers listened to the sound of the seaside while they were eating. Did it make a difference? Yes, it did. Listening to the seaside seemed to improve the taste of the food. It was fresher and saltier. When the restaurant tried the same experiment with the sound of the farm animals, there was no difference in taste. The results are going to be useful for restaurants. Perhaps they will try to use fewer unhealthy things, like salt and sugar in food. With the right music or sounds, perhaps we won’t taste the difference.

Restaurants are also setting a connection between food and the sound that the packet(包装袋) makes. Pick up a packet of your favorite potato chips, what does it sound like? One restaurant recently changed the material that they used to make their potato chip packets because experiments show that the packet which makes a right sound will make customers think the potato chips are fresher. Another idea is that a list of music will begin to appear on food packets, so if you don’t like your green vegetables, the right music or sounds could help you learn to love them.

1.According to the passage, what makes you think the popcorn tastes delicious?

A.Turning on the microwave. B.Smelling the popcorn in the microwave.

C.Hearing the popcorn. D.Taking the popcorn out of the microwave.

2.What was the result of the experiment in the restaurant?

A.The sounds of the seaside made the food taste better. B.The customers didn’t like the food.

C.The music changed the food. D.The customers preferred the sounds of the farm animals.

3.Why is the material of the food packet important?

A.Because customers want it to sound and look right.

B.Because customers enjoy looking at the different materials.

C.Because customers think the food is good if it makes the right sound.

D.Because customers don’t like noisy packets.

4.The passage mainly tells us 　　　　　　　　　　 .

A.sounds make a difference to the taste of food

B.the smell of food makes a difference to the taste of food

C.right music could help people love green vegetable

D.there is a connection between the sight of food and the taste of food

You’ve probably never seen a movie quite like this one. Loving Vincent is the world’s first hand-painted animated movie. It is made fully with paintings. Every scene was created using oil paint on canvas(画布). Twelve paintings were needed just to show one second of the movie. If a character turns their head, the head and shoulders will be taken off the main painting and redrawn to show movement. It took more than 100 artists seven years to complete it.

The movie has gotten good reviews since it came out on the Chinese mainland on Dec. 8. Its box office (票房) has reached over $20 million(132.43 million yuan) worldwide, according to Variety.

The film tells the story of the final months of famous Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890). The story is told through his paintings and the characters in them. It shows his death as being part of a murder mystery, as Hollywood Reporter said.

A young man named Armand Roulin serves as both detective and storyteller. A year after the death of Vincent van Gogh, Armand is instructed by his father, Postman Joseph Roulin, to personally send a letter to Vincent’s brother, Theo. Armed isn’t fond of Van Gogh, but to satisfy his father he agrees to give the letter, traveling across Europe to the town where Vincent spent his final months. When he finds that Theo has died of a disease shortly after his brother, he visits several important people in Van Gogh’s life to find out the truth behind his death. He talks with Van Gogh’s friend, a doctor, and the owner of the hotel he lived in. But each person tells a different story.

There are many examples of the artist’s work in the movie. It shows over 120 of his paintings, such as The Night Café, Wheat field With Crows, and The Starry Night. It’s no wonder Empire Magazine called it “ one of the most beautiful films of 2017”.

The real-life letters that Van Gogh wrote to his brother are shown as well. The movie lets you see the real Vincent van Gogh in a different way.
