F. Wireless communications
Today, the Internet is in a few cars; tomorrow, broadband (宽带) will be in all of them. Any capability a personal computer has, a car will have, including two – way wireless communications for receiving e – mail, music, and movies. When you’re crossing the lonely place, the kids can watch TV if they’re bored. Every passenger will have a video feed.
Every car will have a self – driving system linked to GPS satellites. Radar sensors (传感器) will track nearby cars. On the freeway, they’ll slow your car when the car ahead of you slows; in town, they’ll help you park without hitting other cars. At rush hour, you’ll get the routes around traffic jams and accidents. The self – driving system in a car makes it possible for the car to drive itself, though some scientists say that’s 30 to 40 years off.
Motor vehicles today represent 20 to 30 percent of the world’s energy use. In the near future, a small gasoline engine and an electric motor will be brought together. Drivers will use electricity in a storage battery for short distances. Longer term, cars might burn hydrogen or use a fuel cell that converts a fuel like hydrogen and combines it with oxygen to create power. Then the waste will be pure water.
You’ll use the voice control: “Make it a bit cooler” or “find me country music”. Lighter, more reliable electronic controls replace mechanical controls. Fiber optics (光纤) replace electrical wires and light bulbs. Seats will be air – conditioned. The car will travel with one side higher than the other when turning, just as an airplane does now.
Cars will avoid some accidents by maintaining safe following distances, and by sensing sleepy or drunk drivers. Air bags will adapt for every passenger according to their size, weight, and position in case accidents happen.

Dear Mr. Smith,
I’m a Senior 3 student. I have to take English exams every two weeks. But the results are always discouraging in spite of my great efforts. I don't know why.

Should Good Sportsmanship Be Taught in School?
Almost everyone feels that it is important for young people to win fairly and show respect for others. Should good sportsmanship, then, be taught in school? The stronger argument, however, favors teaching good sportsmanship. Presented here are the most important benefits of teaching sportsmanship.________ Having a positive attitude in activities like sports, class elections, and science fair competitions are important to success in school. Activities involving winning or losing can be tense. Acting calmly under pressure helps young adults succeed not only in sports but also in life. Good sportsmanship is not a given; it must be promoted in school. Young people must be directed to role models who practice sportsmanship.
________ A person cannot play by the rules if he or she does not understand what the rules are. Many arguments on the playing field could be avoided if athletes understood their responsibilities. This also applies to other activities. If students enter a science fair competition, for example, they must follow the instructions. Additionally, knowledge provides a competitive advantage. Those who understand the rules are much more likely to succeed. In school, for example, success is definitely stressed. When students learn sportsmanship, they discover how the rules related to achievement.
_______ Using good sportsmanship helps people stay focused and in control. Almost everyone has overheard a heated argument between a player and a referee（裁判）. Good players do not argue with other players, coaches, or officials. They deal with upsets calmly; consequently, they stay in control of their game. Good players focus on achieving. Uncontrolled anger can actually cause a person to make errors. This result is especially embarrassing. Additionally, people can be labeled if they act out their upsets. A good sport is known for his or her positive conduct. Teaching students the consequences of their actions is part of sportsmanship.
_______ Good players become skilled at handling responsibility. When people accept responsibility, they achieve their best. Positive thinkers, moreover, influence others, especially those who are struggling with a problem. A gifted basketball player, for example, might teach skills to a less talented player. Helping others raises the performance of the entire team. The team, consequently, could reach new heights and set new records. Good sportsmanship, however, means “owning up” to mistakes as well. Those who do not practice sportsmanship pass off responsibility. For them, if an opportunity is lost, it is someone else’s fault. Imagine a team of players all acting in their own self-interest--- the opposite of what a team really should be. Students who participate in a team, whether a math small-group project or the school band, benefit by learning to accept responsibility and encourage others.
_______ Sportsmanship allows people to enjoy victory to the fullest. If people win, but their accomplishments are based on cheating or other immoral behavior, are they really winners? Good players follow the rules. They feel proud even in defeat because their game is based on honesty and respect. Winners congratulate their opponents（对手） as part of recognizing the efforts of others. This friendly behavior spreads goodwill from their team to other teams. Players who show respect for fans, coaches, and other players receive respect in return. They are recognized as leaders. In learning sportsmanship, students explore role models of positive behavior. They learn what it takes to be a leader; they also learn to win and lose with grace（风度）.

How to Find Yourself
Do you often feel lost？Do you think you are living somebody else’s life? If yes, discover ways to find yourself by going through the following article.__________
If you are thinking, “how to find yourself when you are lost?”, then the first thing to do is to have a rest from everything—work, personal life and all worldly things. Give time to yourself to think why you seem lost. Is it because of overwork? Is it because you are not leading a life that you want to? Or is it because you are not satisfied with the people or things around you? Try to find answers to these questions to determine the cause behind your restlessness.__________
For once, instead of being the way others want you to be, be yourself. Look within and find yourself in you. Think about the things that you would want to do if you didn’t have any family responsibility (责任)or any money problems. Think about the kind of relationship (关系)you would want to be in, the place that you would like to stay in, the kind of lifestyle you would like to lead, if you didn’t have the society or people around you, judging all the time. If you really want to know how to find inner peace, then think, what you would want others to describe you as—an honest person? Or adventurous? Or loving, or realistic? Once you look within, you will know the answer and then try to be exactly that.__________
Thinking deeply about the past, the time or situations when you were the happiest, is another way to find yourself .Think what you were doing or with whom you were, when you were the happiest. This will help you to identify things that you want to do in life that make you happy and also certain people whose company you enjoy.__________
Knowing yourself and determining what you are to do with your life will not come to you in a day or two. Discovering oneself is an ongoing process and it can take months or sometimes even years to truly find yourself. So, it’s important that you keep a written record of all your feelings and thoughts, which you can go through at a later stage. Pour all your emotions and feelings about life in it and who knows may be one day going through it, you will find yourself.__________
Once you have discovered what you want to do with your life, make a move for change and self improvement. Even if it means taking up small things such as dancing or painting, go ahead and do it. If you want a career change, plan and take steps so that it can take place smoothly. If you are stuck in a bad relationship and find yourself unable to mend it, break away. At the beginning, you may find yourself slightly unbalanced, but with time everything will be fine.
It is very important for you to truly find yourself, before it is too late. If you do not find yourself now, you will spend your life with somebody you do not even know, i.e. yourself.
