“Dear Daddy” Notes
My father was the gentlest, most loving and caring dad in the world—until we had an argument. During tho moments, he transformed into a stubborn man who never considered that there could be a side other than his own. My words surely never reached his “open mind” becau his ears were clod. There was no point trying to argue with my dad. He always had the last word. I could never win.
When my father refud to understand that I needed the privacy of a phone in my room, my frustration turned to tears. When he nd that I was gaining the upper hand in defending my ca for wearing lip gloss to school in junior high, he ended our “discussion”, leaving me silently defeated and mirable. So when he refud to change his idea about letting me go on my nior class trip to Montreal, I could do nothing but race from his room in despair. If I couldn’t get him to listen to my side of our arguments, maybe I could get him to read it.
With the hope that his eyes would be more open than his ears, I began to plead(抗辩) my ca in a note that began “Dear Daddy” and ended with how much I respected his opinion, how much I hated to fight with him and how much I valued our relationship and, above all, how much I loved him. I folded my note into an envelope, slid it under the door of his bedroom and raced back to my own room.
It was only minutes before I heard a knock at my door. When I saw the look on my fathe r’s face, I knew that my note had melted his temper, softened his stubbornness and touched his heart.
The victory of winning my dad’s permission to go to Montreal was sweet. But even sweeter was the discovery of a strategy that enabled me to have an argument with my dad that didn’t end in tears, but instead with a hug. My “Dear Daddy” notes became a follow-up to many of our confrontations(对抗). During our most emotional arguments, when his unyielding final word drove me to tears, when his “I’m your father, that’s why!” left me speechless, I knew just how to get through to him.
Years later, when my father died, his memory lived on through the many stories about him that friends and family continued to share. One of my favorites was the “Dear Daddy” notes. It always made me smile to remember some of our most passionate arguments and how my dad would beco
me so pig-headed, until he read my notes. He surely must have en through my calculating strategy, but he never let on; he enjoyed every note that turned him to e my way. 4．What did the author think about her father during an argument?
A．Gentle. B．Stubborn.
C．Aggressive. D．Open-minded.
5．The “Dear Daddy” notes could help the author ________.
A．avoid meeting her father B．stop the argument with ea C．deliver her meassage more quickly D．make her father understand her 6．After he died, the author’s father impresd her most with his ________.
A．generous love B．pig-headed decision升旗仪式时间
C．patient company D．heated discussion
Imagine a town with crosswalks but no pedestrians, cars and trucks but no drivers. Welcome to Mcity, a fake “city” built by rearchers who are testing out the driverless cars of the future.
The controlled test environment, which opened today (July 20, 2015) at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, covers 32 acres (the size of about 24 football fields) and contains all the trappings of a real suburb or small city. There is an entire network of roads lined with sidewalks, streetlights, stop signs and traffic signals. There’s even a “downtown” area completebaebae
with fake buildings and outdoor dining areas.
The idea behind Mcity is simple: test out new driverless car innovations in a human-free environment before the technologies are unleashed in the real world.
"Mcity is a safe, controlled, and realistic environment where we are going to figure out how the incredible potential of connected and automated vehicles can be realized quickly, efficiently and safely," Peter Sweatman, director of the Mobility Transformation Center at U-M, said in a statement.
The roads of Mcity are built to stand up to “rigorous, repeatable” testing, according to MTC officials.
While Mcity drivers don't have to compete with real pedestrians, there will be one mechanical foot-traveler (a robot-like machine named Sebastian) that steps out into traffic to e whether the automated cars can hit the brakes in time. The fake city also features a traffic circle, a bridge, a tunnel, some unpaved roads, and even a four-lane highway with entrance and exit ramps, according to a report by Bloomberg Business.
In addition to evaluating fully automated, or driverless cars, the rearchers also hope to test out so-called connected vehicles within Mcity’s limits. Connected cars can either communicate with one another (vehicle-to-vehicle control, or V2V) or with pieces of equipment, such as traffic lights, that are located near roadways (vehicle-to-infrastructure control, or V2I).
Even the smallest details of Mcity have been planned out in advance to copy the conditions that connected and automated vehicles could face in the real world. For example, there are street signs covered up with graffiti, and faded yellow and white lane markings line the streets.
Mcity is just one part of a much larger project that MTC and its partner organizations are establishing in an effort to get a whole fleet of connected and driverless cars on the road in Ann Arbor by 2021. In addition to the fake city, MTC is also continuing to launch connected and mi-autonomous(半自动)
cars on real roadways. Eventually, the University of Michigan and the Michigan Department of Transportation said they hope to put 20,000 connected cars on the roads of southern Michigan.

Read the following passage and then answer the questions.
The Gate without a Latch(插销)
1 THERE was a farmer, who had a little gate, which opened from his yard into a field. This little gate wanted a latch, and therefore could not be fastened.
2When he pasd through the gate, he was very careful to pull it after him; but other people were not always so mindful. Even with all his care, the wind would often blow it open again after he had clod it.
3The result was, that the gate was generally either flapping backwards and forwards in the wind, or standing wide open.
4In this way the poultry were always getting out; and the sheep and lambs were always getting in. It took up half the children’s time to run after the chickens and drive them back into the yard, and to nd the sheep and the lambs back into the field.
5 The farmer’s wife was always te lling him that he ought to get the latch mended; but he ud to say that it would cost six pence, and that it was not worthwhile. He said that the children might as well be driving the sheep and the poultry in and out of the yard and the field as be
