Recently, a solar-powered (太阳能动力的) plane took to the sky for the first time. It passed an important test on the way to travel around the world.

The plane took off from an airport in Switzerland. It slowly rose above the fields and into the sky.
“There has never been an airplane of that kind that could fly — never an airplane so big, so light, using so little energy,” said Bertrand Piccard, a leader of the project.
During the 90-minute flight(飞行), the plane did several turns. It climbed nearly 1.6km above the countryside.
Engineers plan to test a night flight before July. Then they will use the results of the tests to build a second plane. They plan to travel around the world in that plane in 2012.
“We want to fly it day and night with no fuel (燃料),” Piccard said.
Piccard and pilot(飞行员) Andre Borschberg will take the plane around the world. They will make a few stops to change places and rest after a long time in the air — and to show off their airplane.
The plane will fly at 70 km per hour on average(平均). That is faster than a bike and slower than a car. The pilots will keep the plane in the air for up to five days at a time.
The passage is probably taken from _____________.

A．a postcard

B．a newspaper

C．a comic book

D．an advertisement

The solar-powered plane ________________.

A．is big and heavy	B．uses much energy
C．passed the first test	D．will have a night flight after July

B．The solar-powered plane is slower than a car and faster than a bike.

Dear Died，

Today I was at the shopping centre and I spent a lot of time reading the Father's Day cards．But as I chose add read，and chose add read again，it seemed that not a single card said what I really wanted to you．

You'll soon be 84 years old，Dad，and you and I will have had 56 Father's Days together．I didn't think that you were too old．But the sad thing happened last week．I watched as you turned at the corner in your car．I didn't realize at once that it was you because the man who was driving looked so elderly．

Fifty years ago this spring，we planted carrots together in a garden in Charles City，Iowa．This week，we'll plant carrots together again，perhaps for the last time but I hope not．I don't understand why planting carrots with you is so important to me．Well，I don't quite know how to tell you this，dad …I don't like carrots…but I like planting them with you．

I guess what am trying to say，Dad，is what every son and daughter wants to say to their dad today．Praising a father on Father's Day is about more than a dad who brings home，money or shares a dinner．It's more about a dad deeply loving children who know everything and won't listen to anyone．It's about sharing．It's about loving someone more than words can say，and I wish that it would never end．

Lover，

Jenny．
