choosing a wheel.Steel wheelsoffered mostly for offroad or as a low cost alternative to aluminum(铝)Steel wheels can be improved by making small changes with a spray can or brush if the need ever arises.A chromed steel wheel is likely to rust and is likely to need repair，especially in areas that use salt on the roads in the winter.They are heavier than aluminum wheels，thus，add some additional stress to suspension and braking(刹车)parts.Another downfall of steel wheels is that they are handbuilt wheels and have lower ability of bearing in regard to run in，sometimes causing shaking problems on the street.ALWAYS dry your wheels off after going through a car wash.The chemicals used in car washes these days can leave dirty spots that are difficult，if not impossible，to get rid of.ALWAYS wash the road salt off your wheels as soon as possible.Salt can eat into the last part of a wheel and leave pits and stains that cannot be fixed.ALWAYS check the directions on a cleaner before you use it on your wheels or tyres.Some tyre cleaners will forever discolour wheels and some wheel cleaners contain acids that will eat certain types of wheels.【语篇解读】本文主要谈论的是如何挑选和保护车轮。1The passage mainly tells

suggests that the process was a gradual one in which the Colorado River(which runs through the canyon)slowly cut deeper and deeper into the ground over millions of years.But volcanic rock samples taken from the canyon now suggest that the canyon was downcut instead.Downcutting is when a flood of water rushes over a landscape(地形)with enough force to cut deeply into the ground and leaves behind a canyon.Such a flood is usually released when a natural or manmade dam(堤坝)bursts.Robert Webb，a research geologist，says natural dams seem to have formed and broken across the Colorado River several times during the last million years.The dams were built when lava(熔岩)form the eruptions of nearby volcanoes flowed into the river.The lava hardened into hard rocks and blocked the river，causing it to back up and form a lake.Each time the lake grew so huge that it broke the rock dam，releasing a flash flood that furthered the downcutting process and deepened the canyon.Downcutting is not just an earthly event.Satellite photos sent back from Mars suggest that the process has happened there，too，say many other researchers.The photos，taken by the Mars Global Surveyor，indicate that an enormous lake existed on Mars 3.5 billion years ago.The lake spilled into a large nearby hole.One edge of the hole broke，releasing a flash flood that quickly carved out a grand canyon.The existence of downcutting on Mars is just one more piece of evidence that the cold，dry planet was once warm and wet.【语篇解读】和以往人们的想法不同的是，这篇文章的作者认为大峡谷的形成是洪水下切侵蚀造成的，主要是上游的湖泊泛滥强大的力量造成了峡谷，文章还介绍在火星也有这种现象。12In the
