Here are two cars. They may some day take the place of today’s big cars. If we use such cars in the future, there will be less pollution in the air. There will be more space for parking cars in cities, and the street will be less crowded. There such cars can park in the space that is needed for one of today’s cars.
The little cars will be very cheap. They will be very safe, too. Because these little cars can go at a speed of only 65 kilometers per hour.
The car of the future will be fine for getting around a city but they will not be useful for long trips. If the car is powered by electricity, it will have two batteries — one for the motor and the other for the lights, signals, etc. If the little cars run on gasoline, they will go 450 kilometers before they need to stop for more gas.
If big cars are still used along with the small ones, we must build two sets of roads, one for the big and the other for the small, slower cars.

What is exactly a lie? Is it anything we say which we know is untrue? Or is it something more than that? For example, suppose a friend wants to borrow some money from you, you say: “I wish I could help you but I’m short of money myself.” In fact, you are not short of money but your friend is in the habit of not paying his debts and you don ’ t want to hurt his feeling by remmding him of this. Is this really a lie? A scientific study of lying shows women are better liars(说谎者 than men, particularly when telling a “white lie “ ,such as when a wo
man at a party tells another woman that she likes her dress when she really thinks it looks terrible. However, this is only one side of the story. Other researches show that men are more likely to tell more serious and lies, such as making a promise which they have no intention of fulfilling, This is the kind of lie politicians and businessmen are supposed to be particularly skilled at: the lie from which the man hopes to profit or gain in some way.
Research has also been done into the way people’s behavior changes in a number of small, unimportant ways when they lie. It has been found that if they are sitting down at the same time, they tend to move about in their chairs more than usual. To the trained observer they are saying, “I wish I were somewhere else now.”
16 This passage tells us that telling lies is_______.
A often necessary in order to avoid being defeated
B quite bad because people ought to be honest
C sometimes necessary in order not to hurt someone’s feelings
D usually bad if you are talking with a good friend
17 The writer says that women are better liars than men because______.
A their liars are easier to be accepted by men
B men are not as skillful as women in telling lies
C they always have a good intention in telling lies
D women tell fewer liars than men do
