【題目】Travel in the Future
These days, if you want to travel from New York to Beijing, the flight takes about 16 hours. You also have to wait at the airport, and sometimes you have to transfer (換乘) onto a different airplane. If you add all of that extra time, the trip takes at least 20 hours. But in the future, the trip from New York to Beijing might only take two hours.
Right now, a company is developing something called ET3, which stands for "evacuated tube (真空管) transport technology". Here's how it works. A tube goes all the way from New York to Beijing. The tube is only a few meters wide. Capsules (艙) move through the tube. Six people can sit in one capsule. The capsules use electricity instead of oil. For international travel, the capsules can travel at about 6,500 kilometers per hour. That's much faster than airplanes—most modern airplanes usually only fly at about 800 kilometers per hour.
So how is this possible? How can these capsules travel so fast? The answer is that there is no air inside the tube. When airplanes fly, they have to move through air. The air slows the airplanes down. Because there isn't any air in the ET3 tubes, the capsules are able to move at a very high speed. Also, the capsules are quite light. Each only weighs 183 kilograms.
There are other advantages to ET3. Because it uses electricity, it's quite clean. Also, it's a lot quieter than airplanes and cars. Finally, ET3 tubes and capsules don't require very much building materials.
Of course, ET3 doesn't come into use yet. The technology is still being developed. Developers still have to solve a lot of problems. The biggest problem is that right now ET3 would be far too expensive. In order to make ET3 cheaper, we will need much better technology.
It's exciting to think of how ET3 will change the travel in the future. Who knows? Maybe someday you'll be able to have lunch in New York and dinner in Beijing.
【1】According to the passage, an ET3 looks more like a ________.
A.spaceshipB.busC.planeD.subway train
【2】ET3 travels at the very high speed because _________.
A.it is powered by electricity and oilB.it is much lighter than an airplane
C.it moves through a tube without airD.it is made up of fewer capsules
【3】From the passage, the writer expects that ________.
A.modern technology will be used in airplanesB.ET3 will take the place of airplanes some day
C.less money will be spent for passengers on ET3D.ET3 will change the travel in the future greatly

【題目】 What is love? It’s a simple word with so much meaning.
People around the world are talking about love today. And not without reason-love is a wonderful feeling! But close your eyes and _______ love for a minute. What does love mean to you? Love is a feeling, but what else is it?
Love is _______
We can find that love is not always expressed through words. If you are in love, you keep thinking of ways to show your love to the other person. When you are completely in love, there’s _______ you wouldn’t do to show your feelings to the person you love.
Love is sacrifice (犧牲)
Sometimes showing your love includes sacrifice. An old saying says, "There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. And there are hundreds of books filled with stories of people giving their lives for their country, family or friends. When you love someone dearly, no sacrifice is too great. _______ , laying down your life doesn’t actually mean losing your life. It can mean giving up something you want for someone else. We can all choose to sacrifice our needs and wants for the sake of (為了 ...) others. Learning how to love means learning how to be selfless.
Love is sharing
Some might say that love is giving. But I believe it goes beyond giving because love is about _______ . So I like to say, Love is sharing! When you have a lot of love in your heart, you want to share it with the ones you love. Love is the reason why our parents share their life experiences. Love is the reason why our friends share their joys and sorrows. Love is the reason why our teachers share their knowledge and friendship. Love comes from everyone around you.
What’s love like? It is just like the _______ . We can’t see it, but we can always feel it.
