The curtain on the 2008 US presidential election finally rose last month as John McCain and Barack Obama were formally nominated(提名)as candidates of the two major parties．This may be one of the hardest decisions voters have to make between two appealing candidates．
The big question for voters, as they face both an economic downturn and international threats, is：who will they elect?A young first-term senator promising change and new ideas, or a longtime senator with strong military experience and a reputation as a maverick(特立獨行的人)?
American voters have never seen a candidate quite like Obama．He has a white mother from the US and a black father from Kenya who left the family when Obama was very young．He spent part of his youth in Indonesia．
His supporters say Obama’s childhood gives him the advantage to repair the recent damage done to America’s image abroad．His opponents focus on his inexperience, noting he hasn’t finished his first term in the Senate．
However, McCain has a very different life story．He grew up in a Navy family and was a pilot during the Vietnam War in the 1960s．When Obama was in kindergarten in Indonesia, McCain’s plane was shot down over Vietnam and he became a prisoner of war, where he was held for five years unless he disowned America, but he refused．
So in the end, the election may hinge on(以…為轉移)several factors that are hard to judge：Will Obama’s race matter to a significant number of voters?Will working-class whites who tended to support his primary opponent, Hillary Clinton, vote for Obama?And perhaps most important of all, will swing(搖擺)voters be more drawn to Obama’s vision(遠景規劃)or to McCain’s experience?
Whatever happens, one thing is clear：Whoever walks into the White House on January 20, 2009, will find enormous challenges waiting for him in the Oval Office(美國總統辦公室), both at home and abroad．
1．Why was McCain taken in prison in Vietnam?(回答詞數不超過8個)
2．What made the result of the election hardest to predict according to the author?(回答詞數不超9個)
3．What do the underlined words”enormous challenges”refer to according to the passage?(回答詞數不超過7個)

Each year there is an increasing number of cars as millions of new cars are produced in America. Americans will not live without cars! However, some have realized the serious problem of air pollution by cars. It is necessary to find ways to solve the problem of air pollution.
One way to clean the air is to build a new kind of clean car. That’s what several of the large car factories are trying to do. But to build a clean car is easier said than done. Progress in this field has been slow.
Another way is to take the place of the car engine by something else. Engineers are now working on it. Many makers believe that it will take years to develop a practical model for us.
To prevent the world being polluted by cars, Americans have to make some changes in the way of their life. They have to cut down on the number of their cars and are encouraged to travel and go to work by bike. But this change does not come easily ---- many workers may find themselves without jobs if a car factory closes down. And the problem of their pollution would become less important than that of unemployment.
Americans may live a happy but sad life for a long time because of the car problem..
