will travel the nations highways in never-before-dreams-of safety, comfort, nd convenience. these cars will float along never touching the ground, nd therefore will have no need for wheels.annoying highway vibrations, caused by the rotations of the disc-and-tire wheels, will be things of the past. the coming highway passenger cars will literally fly above the road, supported on columns of air compressed by turbine-driven fans.the car without wheels has been called a “flying car”, nd, in a sense, thats just what it is; however, it will not back out of the family garage, start down the street, nd then suddenly go quickly upward heading for some distant point. on the contrary, to avoid problems in aerial navigation, the wheel-less vehicle probably will travel no more than three inches above road surface. it will travel over fairly rough road nd even over smooth water.the inevitable problems of maritime regulations, severe weather conditions, nd running out of fuel in remote areas all will require new concepts of operation, servicing, nd vehicle regulation.6. the author believes that cars of the future_a. will be replaced by airplanesb. will have wheels unlike those of

students may want to travel by car. be sure to think about going with other studentsmany colleges have “ride boards” that list when nd here other students plan to travel. many radio stations provide

sometimes passage 1today a pilot is totally dependent on what the air traffic controller on the ground tells him. he can not see enough to be safe. flightwatch is an instrument intended to help him.on a screen in front of the pilot, there will be a map of the airspace around the plane. the pilots own flight level r height nd his own plane at the centre of the screen will show up. on the map any other planes in the airspace will appear as blobs （点状）of light with “tails” showing the direction of their flight. the flightwatch map is unusual, for the other planes are not shown at their true ranges （范围）, but at their distance away in flying time. that gets over the problem of fast planes being too far away to be seen but likely to make contact in seconds nd slow planes that are close enough to be seen but so slow that theres no chance of contact for, say, ten minutes.the pilot will be able to see on the screen whether another planes course conflicts with his own. the screen will show him the flight number of the other plane, so he can contact air traffic control nd ask them about the other planes course, then he can take avoiding action if necessary. the screen will show him whether his action puts him in danger rom yet another aircraft.technically, the system will be quite complex. computers will be necessary on the ground nd in each aircraft to enable flightwatch to collect data about the planes courses nd to calculate the distances between planes. but such small computers are now quite cheap, simple nd reliable.1. a pilot is dependent on _ for his safe flight.a.

have taken the drudgery out of housework. released rom these household chores, many wives have found jobs outside the home. women are achieving economic independence.families, too, are simpler today. in america, it is not customary for parents to live with their married children. with our greater mobility, relatives have scattered, the parents retiring to florida r arizona nd the young people,

the sort of person who prefers to stay at home, surrounded by family, friends, books. the only thing i do like about traveling is the time on airplanes spent reading.it turns out that when my younger
