A scientist name Charles had a strange idea．He wanted to invent a new kind of car which could go without a driver．It could also be used as a living room．That means you can go anywhere on your sofa in the car．You might say that it's impossible．But Charles succeeded in making it in a factory and named it Tridika．
Tridika has no wheels and it starts working when it reaches the magnetic levitation tracks（磁悬浮轨道）．It takes its energy from its tracks．And it works in the same ways as a magnetic train．It moves very fast．As everyone knows，cities are developing rapidly．There are more and more cars running on the road．So parking space is limited．Sometimes it's hard to find a place to park（停车）．Tridika can solve this problem easily because it needn't park on the ground．Actually，it can park on the outside wall of the building with the help of an elevator system（电梯系统）．In this way，much parking space can be saved．When Tridika parks itself in front of your apartment，you can get into your room directly．Of course，there must be a side door in the outside wall．Then Tridica becomes another living room．It's really amazing，isn't it？
Tridika can hold six passengers．So you can go on vacation in it with your family in your free time．of course it can also be sued as an office while you are traveling on the road．That is to say，you can travel and work at the same time．

The test was the last one of the term． I remember waiting nervously as my teacher Mr． Right gave out our papers one after another． It was a rather difficult test． I heard my classmates groaning（叹息），and I could guess by the groans that the scores were not looking good．
Mr Right put my paper on my desk． There in big red numbers， circled to catch attention， was my score， 55! I let my head go down， and covered the score up quickly． A 55 is not something that you wanted your classmates to see． "The scores were not very good， none of you passed，" Mr Right said． "The highest score in the class was a 55．"
A 55． That's me! Suddenly I didn't feel so bad． I had the highest score． I was getting a little better．
I walked home alone that day with the low but high score． My mother knew that I had a big test that day and asked me as soon as I got home， "How did you do in your test？ ""I got 55， "I said．A frown （皱眉） appeared on my mother's face I knew I had to explain at once． "But Mum， I had the highest score in the class， "I said proudly． "You failed， Dave! "my mother replied． "But it's the highest! "I insisted （坚持）． "I don't care what scores others had， you failed． The important thing is what you do! "my mother said in a strong way．
For years， my mother was always in that way． She didn't care what others did， only cared what I did and that I did it excellently． My mother's words have made a big difference to my life．
