At 45, the husband said sadly, “I missed the chance to see my close relative before his last breath. ”At 55, the husband said he missed a good chance to retire (退休). At 65, the husband complained, “I missed visiting my dentist. ”At 75, the wife did not ask the husband any more, because she was very sick. Remembering the question the wife used to ask him, this time the husband asked the wife the same question. The wife, with a smile and peaceful look, replied, “in this life, I did not miss having you! ” The husband's eyes were full of tears. He always thought that they could be together forever. He was always so busy with work and other things. He had never thought of his wife. The husband hugged the wife tightly. “How did I let myself miss your deep love for me for 50 years? ”he asked himself. In the busy city life, many people are always busy with work and neglect the loved ones who care for them. But life does not last forever, so always live in the moment.

They can communicate with each other and change their speed and direction as needed, possibly improving traffic and even making traffic lights needless. However, there are still worries about whether(是否)driverless cars are safe for everyone on the road. Even though they use smart technology to avoid dangers and control the car, they're not perfect yet. In a recent London test, a driver had to take control twice to avoid accidents. There are a lot of challenges(挑战)that need to be solved before we see traffic lights disappear. One of these challenges is to solve many safety and technical problems if driverless cars operate on the roads regularly. Driverless cars need sensors (传感器), cameras, and computer systems to operate. However, making these systems work effectively in all weather and road conditions is challenging. People have mixed feelings about driverless cars. Some people, like the former transport secretary Grant Schapps, believes they could be a big event if we can make them work safely. But some feel uncomfortable with the idea, and most want them to be clearly marked(标记) on the road. Experts( 专 家 )think we might need new road signs just for driverless cars because they may have difficulty moving through the roads with heavy traffic or unexpected situations. In short, while driverless cars offer exciting possibilities, we must solve many problems before they become common on our roads. 58. What do people worry about driverless cars? A. Size. B. Price. C. Safety. D. Look. 59. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. Ways to control driverless cars. B. The good points of driverless cars. C. Technology used in driverless cars. D. Problems faced by driverless cars. 60. According to the experts, we need to _______________________. A. add traffic lights. B. build more parking spaces. C. build more roads only for driverless cars. D. add new road signs. 61. Which could be the best title? A. Can Driverless Cars Avoid Traffic Problems? B. What do Driverless Cars Look Like in the Future? C. Are Driverless Cars Safe Enough on the Roads? D. Does Everyone Expect to Buy Driverless Cars? D There was magic in the secret garden that spring and summer. At first, everything turned green. Then the green changed to colors—blue, purple and red. There were flowers everywhere. Dickon and Mary's seeds(种子)grew. And the roses—the roses! From small buds they grew into large flowers and filled the air with their perfume(芳香) . Colin saw it all. He watched the changes as they happened. Dickon pushed his wheelchair to the garden every morning and he spent the day there. Sometimes Colin sat on the grass watching the insects. One day, he watched a mole(鼹鼠) digging a hole. He learnt a lot of things about the ways of these insects and animals. And Dickon taught him about the animals in the wood. One morning, the children were in the secret garden as usual. When Ben Weatherstaff arrived, Colin said, “Good morning, Ben Weatherstaff. I want you and Dickon and Mary to listen to me because I'm going to tell you something very important. ” “Yes, sir! ”answered Ben Weatherstaff. “I'm going to do a scientific experiment(科学实验), ”he said. “when I grow up, I'm going to make scientific discoveries about magic and I'm going to start with this experiment. Do you understand? ” “Yes, sir! "said Ben Weatherstaff, but he didn't really understand. “I believe that there is magic in everything. ”continued Colin. “Dickon knows some magic. He charms animals and people. Mary also knows a bit of magic because she was born in India. There's magic in the garden, too. I'm going to try and put some in me because I want to be well and strong. I'm going to say—Magic is in me! And you must all say it, too. That is my experiment. Are you going to help, Ben Weatherstaff? ” “Yes, sir! ”answered Ben Weatherstaff. They sat down in a circle. The crow, the fox, the squirrels and the lamb were very curious “Now, let's begin, ”Colin said, and they all started chanting(吟唱). “Magic is in me. Magic is in me. Magic is in all of us. ” Then Colin stood up and walked round the garden. He went in front with Dickon on one side and Mary on the other. Ben Weatherstaff walked behind. Colin walked a bit then rested. Then he walked again and rested again. At first, he held Dickon's arm, then he walked a few steps alone. “I can walk! The magic worked! ”he cried. “What is the doctor going to say? ”asked Mary. “Nothing. ”Colin answered, “because we aren't going to tell him. No one must know that I can walk and run. It's a surprise for my father when he comes back to Misselthwaite. ” “He's going to think it's a dream, ”said Mary. (Adapted from The Secret Garden) 62. What did Colin learn in the secret garden? A.
