COOL INVENTIONS
From school to band Practice, the Venturi Eclectic is an Earth-friendly way to get Where you want to go. This battery-powered, zero-emission (meaning it doesn't pollute the air) vehicle runs mainly on renewable energy. Solar panels on the Eclectic's roof absorb sun rays when you're driving. On windy days, you can connect a machine to the car's roof that collects energy from the wind while you're parked. The Eclectic's top speed is 28 miles an hour; the battery lasts for 31 miles before it needs to be recharged. Zipping (迅速行進) around the neighborhood has never been better.
Here's an eco-friendly way to tell time: Simply fill the Bedol Water-powered Clock's tank (箱) with water, add some lemon juice, and the clock will display the time without the need for environmentally harmful batteries. There are two sets of metal electrodes (電極) inside the water tank. Water contains ions (離子) that carry negative and positive charges. These ions complete a charge between the electrodes, creating enough energy to power the clock. Just refill the tank every few weeks, and this clock will keep on ticking.
Bloodhound SuperSonic Car (SSC) will be the first car to attempt to break the l,000-mile-an-hour barrier. (The current record is 763 miles an hour.) A concept for now, the rocket-shaped car gets its initial push to 350 miles an hour from a jet engine. Then a rocket fires up, pushing the SSC past 1,000 miles an hour. In order to keep the car streamlined (流線型的), the driver lies back at a 45-degree angle.
You're having a blast at your friend's birthday party. But when it's time to bring out the cake, everyone crowds around, blocking your view. No worries. Throw the Triops into the air, and this clever camera captures the view from above. The Triops can take three pictures at once, each from different angles. You can also record sounds and command the Triops to start shooting whenever it hears that noise. That's one smart camera.
According to the passage, the Venturi Eclectic .
A. is popular with businessmen B. is suitable for a long trip
C. can turn wind into energy D. has only a little gas emission
What is the common characteristic of the Venturi Eclectic and the Bedol Water-powered Clock?
A. They don't need batteries. B. They are difficult to operate.

When I opened my e-mail the other day, a pretty woman named Rachel appeared on my computer screen. She greeted me by name and started talking with great enthusiasm. Every now and then she stopped to smile at me or blow a kiss. She was reading to me an e-mail from my brother. It was pretty cool.
Rachel was there thanks to a new technology called Facemail. Facemail lets you send an e-mail that gets read to the receiver on line by an attractive male or female or by a clown . The software, which is free, can be downloaded at www.facemail.com. Facemail faces are lifelike, and they simulate (模仿)emotions based on emotions that you put in your text. Type in: -X, and Rachel blows a kiss.
Life FX, the company that develops the Facemail, is sure there are broad business uses. The reason why e-business is not popular, the company says, is that buying over the Internet lacks the human touch. But what if you went to the Nike website and Michael Jordan greeted you by name, waited on you and personally closed the sale? And it is talking with Whirpool Company about using the technology in a computer screen on a fridge. Then if Mom can’t be home when the kids get back from school, she can leave a note with voice and image telling them what there is to eat.
Facemail could get hot fast. Personally, I’m a fan. Facemail is lively and funny at first, but if you select the clown, put a few rude words in an e-mail and add some angry emotions, you’ve got a crazy mail.
67. The main advantage of Facemail is that ________.
A. you can hire a beautiful woman to read the e-mail to you
B. you can see the person who sends you the e-mail
C. you can put your own emotions in the e-mail as you like
D. the e-mail can be read in a more lovely way
68. We can infer from the passage that Facemail _______.
A. is likely to be used in other ways in our daily life
B. can destroy your e-mail if not properly used
C. is a software hard to download
D. will take the place of the e-mail system
69. The writer mentioned Nike website and Michael Jordan to show that ______.
A. famous people like Michael Jordan also like to use Facemail
B. Facemail can make shopping on the Internet more interesting
C. Nike company is increasing its sales through the fame of Jordan
D. Michael Jordan will serve you himself on Nike website
70. The writer thinks _______.
A. Facemail needs further improvement
B. Facemail is cool and funny
C. Facemail is a danger to the Internet
D. people should be careful with Facemail
