Ive learned a few things. First

Worse, she couldnt remember that D was for drive, and R meant reverse (倒车).Then came the road rules. Mia likes to sail past stop signs. I had to explain that “STOP
19、 means STOP”.

25、(汽车制造商) are increasingly offering more electric car models. This growth is expected to continue, with more people choosing to hit the road with clean- running electric cars.Environmentalists have praised the automakers for taking major steps to limit harmful pollutants linked to worldwide climate ch
26、ange. But electric cars are also known for not producing another kind of pollution noise. They run on batteries instead of fuels, and can operate in silence.While many people might consider this a good thing, quiet cars can also cause problems. The main danger is that people around electric vehicles
27、 face a greater risk of being hit if they cannot hear the cars coming.Governments in the United States and Europe have recognized this problem. So they have set requirements for automakers to add warning sounds to electric vehicles. The U.S. Department of Transportation finalized its rules a year ag
28、o. The rules require electric and hybrid(混合物) cars to be equipped with some warning sounds when moving at a speed of up to 30 kilometers per hour.

29、rom the next generation of electric cars? One of the easiest solutions would be for car makers to reproduce the sound of a traditional car running on fuels.

30、d of technical development at Volkswagen, said that finding the perfect sound mix is not an easy process. He said, “It cannot be too annoying. It cannot sound like anything we had in the past.” An official from Mercedes-Benz said the sound was designed to provide a safe warning without annoying pass
31、engers inside the car.

90、 different moments at meetings, in the shopping malls or while walking around. This becomes especially dangerous when they are driving or operating machines. The reason for this is societys demand on women to be overly（过度地）thin. Its reported that over 100 women die each year in the United States alone, just because they want to meet this demand. What we should know is that when your life is in danger, is it meaningful to achieve that kind of beauty? Its necessary for those who want to keep skinny to reconsider the meaning of beauty
