24、t.Now, a new study, published this week in the journal Frontier in Veterinary Science, shows that non-human animals, tears are not so different from our own. The chemical similarities are so great, in fact, that the composition of other species tearsand how theyre adapted to their environmentsmay pr
25、ovide a new view in better treatments for human eye diseases.Previously, scientists had studied closely only the tears of a handful of mammals. In the new study, the tears of reptiles and birds for the first time were analyzed. Tears form a filma very thin layer over the eye that consists of three i
26、ngredients: mucus (黏液), water, and oil. The mucus coats the eyes surface and helps to stick the film to the eye, the water is a natural salty solution containing proteins (蛋白质) and minerals，and the oil prevents the eye from drying out.Humans are the only known species to produce emotional tears; the
27、 expression “crocodile tears”, which refers to a persons false emotion, comes from the tendency of crocodiles to release tears as they eat.But tears play key roles beyond weeping, notes Lionel Sebbag, a scientist at Iowa State University, in Ames. They help with vision and also protect the eye again

If we understand what makes up a healthy te

32、tears promise new cures.D. Other species tears are similar to humans.DMovies about the future often show people travelling around in flying cars. Last Tuesday, that vision came a step closer to reality for a Japanese company called SkyDrive, as it showed off its new flying car, the SD-03, in action.
33、 The small car flew around for four minutes, staying about 1-2 meters off the ground.The SD-03 is powered by batteries and has 8 motors, which lift it straight off the ground. What made this test flight special was that a pilot was on board. Toraohiro Fukuzawa, who leads SkyDrive，said, “Of the world
34、s over 100 flying car projects, only a handful have succeeded with a person on board.”Many groups worldwide are working to develop flying cars. Some governments, including Japans, are supporting the idea, hoping that in the future, flying cars will be useful for short trips like taxi rides in cities
35、. Flying cars could also help reach places that cant be reached by road.What happens when a motor fails? If flying cars are crossing a city, an accident could hurt not just people in the car, but people on the ground, too. Thats why the SD-03 has eight motorsas backups.Some people believe flying car
36、s reduce traffic jams. But new systems will be needed to help control traffic in the air. With many cars flying around, these systems would be too complicated to be managed in real time by humans. Besides, flying cars are expensive. When its ready, SkyDrives flying car is expected to sell for betwee
37、n $300,000 and $500,000.However, people who believe in flying cars point out that cars and airplanes faced challenges at first, too. With time, many of the big problems were solved. By 2050, Mr. Fukuzawa hopes people will be able to fly anywhere inside Tokyo in just 10 minutes. “I think flying cars
38、will become normal in the near future.” he says.32. What was special about this test flight?A. The car flew higher.B. The car was cheap.C. The car flew on its own.D. The car carried a driver.33. Why is the SD-03 equipped with eight motors?A. To ensure its safety.B. To increase its flying speed.C. To
39、 make it look cool.D. To enable it to carry more weight.34. Which aspect of the flying cars is mainly discussed in paragraph 5?A. Their design.B. Their application.C. Their cost.D. Their disadvantages.35. What is Mr. Fukuzawas opinion about flying cars?A. They can be easily bought.B. They have a lon
