Today’s cars are smaller, safer, cleaner and more economical than their predecessors, but the car of the future will be far more pollution-free than those on the road today. Several new types of automobile engines have already been developed that run on alternative sources of power, such as electricity, compressed natural gas, methanol, steam, hydrogen, propane.
Electricity, however, is the only zero-emission option presently available. Although electric vehicles will not be truly practical until a powerful, compact battery or another dependable source of current is available, transportation expects foresee a new assortment of electric vehicles entering everyday life: shorter-range commuter electric cars, three-wheeled neighbourhood cars, electric deliver vans, bikes, and trolleys.
As automakers work to develop practical electric vehicles, urban planners and utility engineers are focusing on infrastructure systems to support and make the best use of the new cars. Public charging facilities will need to be as common as today’s gas stations. Public parking spots on the street or in commercial lots will need to be equipped with devices that allow drivers to charge their batteries while they stop, dine, or attend a concert. To encourage the use of electric vehicles, the most convenient parking in transportation centres might be reserved for electric cars.
Planners foresee electric shuttle buses, trains and neighbourhood vehicles all meeting at transit centres that would have facilities for charging and renting. Commuters will be able to rent a variety of electric cars to suit their needs: light trucks, one-person three wheelers, small cars, or electric/gasoline hybrid cars for longer trips, which is no doubt take place on automated freeways capable of handling five times number of vehicles that can be carried by a freeway today.

Becoming a teacher demands is not only knowledge in an academic field but also a personal commitment to lifelong learning, and enthusiasm for sharing knowledge with other people. To become one of those noble educators in the USA, one has to satisfy several basic requirements.
First and foremost, it is prerequisite to have a bachelor’s degree in education. In the event that a candidate already has a bachelor’s degree in another field, a teacher preparation program is needed. But it is not all. Almost every school in the USA understands that real classroom teaching experience is a vital part of a teacher’s training. Before taking over a class, a person typically need to complete a training program, including working as a supervised student teacher.
People who want to become a university teachers need master’s degrees. Getting a master’s degree is a necessity, but if it is gained too early there may be concerns that the candidate lacks the real-world experience to go with it. In fact, very few schools want to hire novives with little or no classroom experience and even if they are excepted, they are usually very ill-paid. One wise solution to the issue is for future postgraduates to start working as teachers before going on to gain their master’s degree.
Besides knowlegde and experience, certain personal qualities are also required. A teacher should be positive, prepared, focused, and most importantly, patient. Being a teacher involves being aware of the fact that learing sometimes can be hard work, even for the most motivated students. Also, teaching at times can be tiring and frustrating, so teaching candidates have to practise being patient with themselves.
In short, as in other careers, teaching requires a combination of qualications, experience and personal qualities. Teaching candidates meeting the mandatory requirements are always in demand in the USA.
According to the text, the most important quality of a teacher is _____.




A.being a role model
B.being patient
C.being able to work hard
D.being prepared

You can usually tell when your friends are happy or angry by the looks on their faces, or their actions. This is very useful because reading their emotional expressions helps you to have a appropriate responses to particular situations and convey our intentions to others. But do raising the eyebrows and rounding the mouth say the same thing in Minneapolis as they do in Madagascar? Much research on emotional expressions has centered on such a question.
According to Paul Ekman, one of the leading researchers in this area, people speak and understand nearly the same “ facial language”. Studies by Ekman’s group have demonstated that humans share a set of universal emotional expressions that testify the common biological heritage of the human species. Smiles, for example, signal happiness on the faces of people everywhere. Ekman and his colleagues claim that people everywhere can recognize at least the following basic emotions : sadness, fear, anger, disgust, contempt, happiness and surprise. There are, however, differences across culture in both the context and intensity of emotional displays the so-called displays rules. In many Asia culture, for instance, children are taught to control their emotional responses, especially negatives ones, while many American children are encourged to express their feelings more openly. Another difference can be found when an American person understands a grin as a signal of joy, while on a Japanese face, it may mean embarrassment.
Regardless of culture, from their first days of life, children everywhere produce facial expressions that communicate their feelings. The abiltiy to read facial expressions develops early, too. By the age of five, they nearly equal adults in their skill at reading emotions on the people’ faces. This evidence all points to a biological underpinning for our abilities to express and intepret basic set of human emotions.

A.are not pouplar everywhere.
B.have different meanings in different cultures
C.have the same meaning in every culture.
