A Battery’s Worst Nightmare (噩夢)
Portable electronics that can be carried about easily are only as good as their batteries and, let’s face it, batteries aren’t very good, especially when compared with, say, petrol, which packs 100 times a battery’s energy into an equal space. That’s why a large group of mechanical engineers (centered at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, but with partners at other universities and companies) are hard at work in an effort to replace batteries with a tiny engine that runs on fuel. Imagine a battery-free life! When the fuel runs out in your laptop or mobile phone, you just fill up and go.
The engine―about the size of a ten-cent coin―starts with a combustion chamber (燃燒室) that burns hydrogen (氫) . Its tiny parts are etched onto silicon wafers (硅片) in the same manner that computer parts are imprinted onto integrated circuits (集成電路). The first engine is made up of five wafers. And since these wafers could be produced in much the same way as computer chips, they could probably be produced quite cheaply.
But the devil
in all this nice detail is efficiency（效率）. Tiny engine parts don’t always
behave like their scaled-up parts of the first engine. Something between the
parts can slow down the works, according to
The scientists’ goal is to create an engine that will operate at 10 percent efficiency ―that is, 10 times better than batteries operate. Frechette says that a complete system, with all parts of place and working, will be set up in the next couple of years, but commercial models aren’t like until at least the end of the next ten years.
1. According to the passage, the title suggests that ________
A. batteries should be greatly improved B. petrol will be used instead of batteries
C. the time of batteries will be gone forever D. pollution caused by batteries must be solved
2. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “devil” in paragraph 3?
A. problem B. advantage C. invention Ｄ. technique
3. What can we infer from the passage?
A. The new invention doesn’t need any fuel.
B. The new engine has been produced in quantity.
C. The new invention is much cheaper than the battery.
D. The new engine needs to be improved before it’s on sale
4. What is the main purpose of this passage?
A. To introduce a new invention to readers.
B. To persuade readers not to use batteries.
C. To show us how the new invention works.
D. To declare when the engine will be on sale.

Starting school late should be the guiding principle (原則) for high schools
around the Puget Sound District. Next year,
For school leaders, it isn’t easy to make the change. Bus schedules have to be rearranged, sometimes presenting the districts with a choice of keeping traditional starting times at high schools or forcing elementary students to start much earlier. Some sports practice and event schedules can also be affected.
Around Puget Sound District, the Bainbridge Island School and Inglemoor
High School and Mercer Island High School have either moved starting time later
or created flexible (靈活的)schedules for students. Two of the
There are excellent reasons for such moves. Scientists have found that
teenagers’ bodies usually aren’t ready for sleep until around 11 p. m. And the
teens can sleep deeply until
Some of the lack of rush to make changes comes from comfort with the
existing condition. Parents - like the school leaders - are used to the present
schedules. In
Any school action that can deal with such difficult problems as depression and dropouts , while helping students with grades and getting along with parents, is one that is worthy of serious attention in every school district. Teenagers have adapted (使適應) their sleep needs to school schedules for generations. It’s time that more schools put the students’ needs first.
5.What is the writer’s attitude toward the change in school time?
A. He is in favor of it. B. He seems to object to it.
C. He is unconcerned with it.
