閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)內(nèi)容完成句子。
Gregg Bleakney’s dream was to travel the Americas from top to Bottom. He got the idea after he finished a long bike ride. Gregg’s friend, brooks Allen, also liked riding a bike. The two friends talked and made a plan: they would travel from Alaska to Argentina—by bike.
To pay for the trip, Gregg and Brooks worked to save money for a long time. Once they were on the road, they often camped outdoors and ate cheaply. In many places, local people opened their doors to the two friends and gave them food.
On their way, there were deserts, rainforests and mountains. They visited modern cities and ancient ruins (遺跡) such as Machu Picchu in Peru. And they made many friends from all over the world.
In May 2007—two years, twelve countries, and over 30,500 kilometres later—Gregg finally reached Ushuaia, Argentina. (Near Guatemala, Brooks had to go back and Gregg continued without him.)
The trip taught both men a lot about traveling. What did they learn? Here is some of Gregg’s advice:
Travel light. You should carry many things with you.
Be flexible (靈活). Don’t plan everything. Then you’ll be more relaxed and pleased especially if there are problems.
Be polite. one traveler told Gregg, “Nobody wants to fight or cheat a nice man.” It’s true.
小題1:Gregg Bleakney’s dream was to _______________.
小題2:Before traveling, the two friends _____________to pay for the trip.
小題3:___________ got to Ushuaia, Argentina in May 2007.

First, several designers talk about the new car and any good ideas that they have. Then they sit down at their computers and draw many sketches. The best two or three drawings are chosen and then more detailed(細(xì)節(jié)的，詳情的) drawings of cars are developed on the computer. You can change the size, shape or color of any part on the computer to see how the car would look and then (73 ) you can choose the best design.
Both the inside and the (71) ________of the car have to be designed. Part of the inside of the car is built so that the designers can sit in it. They can feel if there is enough room inside and if they can reach everything. Then some cars are built—there are more than 15 000 parts of a car to test.
(74) When everything is safe, the cars are made in the factory. Again, computers are used to make sure that all the parts are ready as they are needed. （72）The factory usually stays open all through the night so that the car production never stops.
