Nelson Mandela was regarded as one of the greatest leaders in the world. He died at the age of 95. He became his country’s first black president after 27 years in prison. Do you want to know why he spent so many years in prison? Read more and find more facts.
When Nelson Mandela was a young man, white and black people in South Africa lived separate lives. White people, who were a small part of the population, were in charge of the country. At that time, it was illegal for black people to use the same schools, hospitals, and even beaches as white people. Mandela was lucky. He was one of the few black people in the 1950s of South Africa to receive education and become a successful lawyer.
Nelson Mandela believed that everybody should be treated equally. He joined some different demonstrations to fight against a system called apartheid.
Sometimes the demonstrations turned violent and in 1962 Mandela was sent to a prison which was on Robben Island. But many people around the world campaigned for his release. Songs were written and big concerts were held in protest. Finally in 1990 the South African President FW de Klerk--a white man--allowed him to go free.

Later next year, Beijing will start the country's first driverless (无人驾驶) subway trains. The Yanfang Line-connecting part of Fangshan district to the city center-will be the first to try out driverless technology.
The Beijing public transportation authority says the new trains will make the metro system better. They will have an upgraded (升级的 ) operating system. They will reach 80km per hour and carry more than l ,200 passengers.
The development of driverless technology is opening up in other areas of transport. Driverless cars have long been a dream for many. And in the past few years，innovation(创新) has speeded up. Big car companies，including Volkswagon and Toyota, are competing with other companies, such as Google.
But with no tracks(轨道)to run on，how will driverless cars be safe? The technology that is used is made up of many sensors (传感器) ,including radar(雷达) and GPS. This gives the car an exact position in the world，as well as what' s around it. It also allows the car to see moving Objects，too，like other cars and people.
Pilot-free planes have also become a hot technology topic. Yet while these types of technology are seen as better and safer，they do have disadvantages. Automation(自动化) means these types of transport will heavily rely on computers. Just like humans，they make mistakes-although less often.
And like much1 of technology，it makes many workers lose their jobs. What will happen to the future bus drivers and pilots？Which of the following about the Yanfang Line trains is NOT true?
