Well, that day may be sooner than you think.The people at NASA have built something called ―The Highway in the Sky.‖ It‘s a computer system（系统）designed（设计）to let millions of people fly whenever they please, and take off and land from wherever they please, in their very own vehicles（运载工具）. And here‘s the good news – a lot of people are building machines you‘ll be able to buy.One of those people is Woody Norris, inventor of a new personal flying machine called the AirScooter. Norris asked one of his test pilots（飞行员）to show us the AirSoccter on a hilltop in California. It can flyfor 2 hours at 55 miles per hour, and go up to 10,000 feet.A lot of inventors have tried to cash in on personal flying machines, but they failed to catch on because they were too expensive and hard to fly in bad weather. More important, there was no way to manage all the traffic from millions of them buzzing around – that is, until now, thanks to ―The Highway in the Sky.‖Here‘s how it works: You watch one main screen, almost like a videogame. Keep the plane inside the box, away from other vehicles, and the plane‘s computers do the work of flying where you want to go. This $130-million program can also help pilots fly in bad weather. It‘s a breakthrough that will some day allow more people to fly than ever before.All this new technology（技术）has given new life to the race to build the personal flying machine of tom orrow. What kind of inventions are people working on today? If you can imagine it, someone‘s trying it, everything from machines that can fly straight up and down to ones that can go very fast.In Texas one inventor is testing the CarterCopter. It can fly straight up and down like a helicopter（直升机）, but can go as fast as an airplane, too. Even the cows are surprised when they see it!If you‘re interested in something smaller, a strange-looking flying machine called the Springtail is a 21st Century flying backpack. When it takes off, it‘s loud and makes a lot of wind, but the inventors say it‘s designed to fly for two hours, at 90 miles per hour, 400 feet above the ground.AirScooter inventor Woody Norris, like many of the inventors that we‘ve met, believes today‘s planes will soon become old and useless, and that ―The Highway in the Sky‖ will be filled with flying machines that we can‘t even begin to imagine.1. The future flying machine will be able to fly _______.A. without pilotsB. inside a boxC. from a highwayD. like a helicopter2. According to what mentioned in the passage, _______ can fly higher.A.

The Greeks were playing with yo-yos around 500 BC. It was a popular children's toy in the Philippines during the 16th century, and it was the toy to own in Britain in the early 19th century. Even the Prince of Wales had one!The first American yo-yo company was started in 1928. The American yo-yos had a special feature. They could stop at the end of the string and spin（旋转）in one place before moving up again. This wascalled ―sleeping‖. It allowed the user to do tricks while the yo-yo was spinning. Soon yo-yo fans of all ages were doing tricks with names like ―walk the dog‖, ―rock the baby‖ and ―around the world‖.During the 1970s, yo-yo companies began making their yo-yos more interesting and exciting. Yo-yos lit up in the dark, they whistled, and they had funny shapes. In 1985, the yo-yo even went into space. It was taken on the space shuttle Discovery to see how it would perform in zero gravity（重力）. It would still spin, but without gravity to pull it down, it would not ―sleep‖.Over the years, competitions and exhibitions have led more and more people to take ‗yo-yoing‘seriously. In 1990, the first international yo-yo convention （大会）was held. In 1993, the AmericanYo-Yo Association was started. For serious yo-yo fans, there's even a National Yo-Yo Museum in Chico, California.The best thing about yo-yos, though, is that you don't have to be a genius to figure them out. You just need to keep practicing, and pretty soon you'll be spinning with the best of them.5. Why is the yo-yo one of the oldest and most popular of all toys?A. It was played around 500 BC.B.
