Have you ever dreamt about the day you can buzz (嗡嗡作响) around in your very own flying machine? 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 Air Scooter. Norris asked one of his test pilots (飞行员) to show us the Air Soccter on a hilltop in California. It can fly for 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 tomorrow. 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 Carter Copter. 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.

Air Scooter 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

Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents, however, it is not true. Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it’s hard for you to communicate with your parents, don’t worry about it. Here are some advice for you to bridge the generation gap.

Don’t argue with your parents. Don’t get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won’t consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can’t express yourself well if you are angry. Go some place to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don’t think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter.

Try to reach a compromise. Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael’s mother didn’t agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days.

Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong. Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life.

A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try!

5. The passage tells us ______ have a communication problem. A. parents and other people B. school kids and their parents C. teachers and their students D. parents and children of all ages

6. Your parents probably won’t consider your ideas if you ______.

Cost of Love

One night when my wife was preparing dinner, our little son took a piece of paper to her which read: For washing the car.$5.00

For making my own bed this week$1.00 Going to the provision shop.$0.50 Playing with little sister$0.25 Taking out the rubbish$1.00 Getting a good report card$5.00

And for sweeping the common corridor..$2.00 Total.$14.75

His mother looked at him standing there expecting payment. I could see a thousand memories flashed through her mind. So she picked up the pen and turning the paper over, this is what she wrote:

For 9 months I carried you, growing inside me. No Charge

For the nights I sat up with you, doctored and prayed for you. No Charge For the toys, food and clothes and wiping your nose No Charge

Well, when he finished reading, he had great big tears in his eyes. He looked at his mother and said, \

中文：

一天晚上，妻子在厨房准备晚餐的时候，我们的小儿子拿着一张纸走向他母亲。上面写道： 洗车---------------------------------5美元 本周整理我的房间----------------1美元 为你去商店-------------------------0.5美元 照管小妹妹-------------------------0.25美元 外出倒垃圾-------------------------1美元 成绩报告单获得良好--------------5美元 打扫通道----------------------------2美元

总计----------------------------------14.75美元

他母亲看着他儿子满怀希望地站在那儿等着拿钱。我能看到她脑子里翻腾着记忆的浪花。她拿起钢笔把儿子写过的纸翻过来。在上面写道：

你呆在我的腹中，我为你怀胎九月------------------------------免费； 晚上陪伴着你，为你求医，为你祈祷----------------------------免费； 为你准备玩具、食物、衣服甚至为你擦鼻涕--------------------免费， 你把以上所有的累加起来，我为你付出的全部的爱------------免费。

儿子读完母亲写的话，双眼含着豆大的泪花，他看着他的妈妈说：―妈妈，我爱你。‖他拿出钢笔在他的―账单‖上写了几个大大的字：―全部要偿还。‖
