Can a small group of drones(无人机)
guarantee the safety and reliability of railways
and,at the same time,help railway operators
save billions of euros each year?That is the
very likely future of applying today's "eyes in
the sky"technology to making sure that the
millions of kilometres of rail tracks and
infrastructure(基础设施)worldwide are safe
for trains on a 24/7 basis.
Drones are already being used to examine
high-tension electrical lines.They could do
precisely the same thing to inspect railway lines
and other vital aspects of rail infrastructure
such as the correct position of railway tracks
and switching points.The more regularly they
can be inspected,the more railway safety,
reliability and on-time performance will be
improved.Costs would be cut and operations
would be more efficient(高效)across the
board.
That includes huge savings in maintenance
costs and better protection of railway personnel
safety.It is calculated that European railways
alone spend approximately 20 billion euros a
year on maintenance,including sending

maintenance staff,often at night,to inspect
and repair the rail infrastructure.That can be
dangerous work that could be avoided with
drones assisting the crews'efforts.
By using the latest technologies,drones
could also start providing higher-value services
for railways,detecting faults in the rail or
switches,before they can cause any safety
problems.To perform these tasks,drones for
rail don t need to be flying overhead.
Engineers are now working on a new concept:
the rail drones of the future.They will be
moving on the track ahead of the train,and
programmed to run autonomously.Very small
drones with advanced sensors and Al and
travelling ahead of the train could guide it like
a co-pilot.With their ability to see ahead,they
could signal any problem,so that fast-moving
trains would be able to react in time.
1.What makes the application of drones to rail
lines possible?
A.The use of drones in checking on power
lines.
B.Drones'ability to work at high altitudes.
C.The reduction of cost in designing drones.
D.Drones'reliable performance in remote
areas.
2.What does“maintenance”underlined in
paragraph 3 refer to?
A.Personnel safety.
B.Assistance from drones.
C.Inspection and repair.
D.Construction of infrastructure.
3.What function is expected of the rail drones?
A.To provide early warning.
B.To make trains run automatically.
C.To earn profits for the crews.
D.To accelerate transportation.

Confident People Are Beautiful
Natural beauty could be defined in many
ways by many people.1 Someone who is
naturally beautiful means that they not only
have the internal beauty but also the external
beauty.I believe that internal beauty is extremely
important,as it consists of having a healthy mind,
body and soul.
It is a sad reality that many teenage girls
do not consider themselves to be beautiful.I
truly believe that every individual has beauty
within them,however many people do not
know how to show it or perhaps they struggle
with confidence.As women get older,it is
essential that we learn to display this beauty
that I believe is in all of us and learn how to
let this beauty shine forever.2 I believe we
also need to learn what the true meaning of
beauty is.
Personally,I have spent my whole life
trying to learn the true meaning of the word
“beautiful”.I do not believe beauty can be
defined with one simple definition.3 I
hope that young women will get positive
knowledge and influence in order to find out
how they should improve their natural beauty
that is within them.
As you may notice,I mention the words
"natural beauty"quiet often.We live in a world
that is false and unnatural which makes it
difficult to show girls what natural beauty
really entails.From the food we eat to the
products we use and the images we see it is
continuously becoming difficult to determine
what is and is not real.4
We live in a world that is so fake that we
sometimes don't even realize what is real and

C.Everyone has time to share a little

The Government's sugar tax on soft
drinks has brought in half as much money as
Ministers first predicted it would generate,the
first official data on the policy has shown.
First announced in April,2016,the tax
which applies to soft drinks containing more
than 5g of sugar per 100ml,was introduced to
help reduce childhood obesity(肥胖).Itis
believed that today's children and teenagers
are consuming three times the recommended
level of sugar,putting them at a higher risk of
the disease.
Initially the sugar tax was expected to
make f 520 m a year for the Treasury.
However,data of the first six months showed
it would make less than half this amount.At
present it is expected to generate f 240 m for
the year ending in April 2019,which will go to
school sports.
It comes after more than half of soft
drinks sold in shops have had their sugar levels
cut by manufacturers(制造商)so they can avoid
paying the tax.Drinks now contain 45 million
fewer kilos of sugar as a result of manufacturers'
efforts to avoid the charge,according to Treasury
figures.Since April drinks companies have been
forced to pay between 18p and 24p for every litre

of sugary drink they produce or import,depending
on the sugar content.
However,some high sugar brands,like
Classic Coca Cola,have accepted the sugar tax
and are refusing to change for fear of upsetting
consumers.Fruit juices,milk-based drinks and
most alcoholic drinks are free of the tax,as are
small companies manufacturing fewer than 1m
litres per year.
Today's figures,according to one government
official,show the positive influence the sugar tax is
having by raising millions of pounds for sports
facilities (and healthier eating in schools.
Helping the next generation to have a healthy and
active childhood is of great importance,and the
industry is playing its part.
