Today, with modern technology, the opposite is true. An engine operating under road conditions will
16、warm up faster and nun more efficiently than the one that is idling. Idling just burns gas (on average, about a gallon an hour) .When you have a full tank of gas, park the car downhill. This will prevent any gas from coming out of the tank. Parking in areas of less or no sunlight helps prevent the g
17、as from steaming that would occur if you parked in the hot sun. Your car will stay cooler, too, and that means less gas consuming work for the air conditioner once the engine is started.Stay away from wide-track tires if you want top mileage (汽车耗费 1 加仑油所行驶的路程 ) 。 Narrow-track tires produce less fric
18、tion and thus less rolling resistance. The same effect is achieved by adding three to five pounds above recommended pressure to each tire; while this wont noticeably affect your cars sliding quality, it will increase tire life and gas mileage.Check tire pressure often, especially when the weather tu
19、rns cold. The difference between winter and summer tire pressure can be as much as eight pounds. This could cost you two miles per gallon.36. The main purpose of the passage id to tell us .A. how to drive faster car properlyC. how to make a car run smoothly consume less gas37. According to the passa
20、ge, keeping the engine running idly .B. how to drive aD. how to make your carA. will just waste gasC. will make it work more efficiently38.

22、art your car more easilyB. can increase tire lifeD. helps attain top gas mileageA major incentive( 动力 )for college attendance is the belief that it will prepare you for a career. Chances are that the career you want, whether in nursing, counseling, law, or management, requires a college education. E
23、ven if the return of your education isnt as great asit used to be, you would probably rather he a relatively poorly paid lawyer than a secretary or a construction worker; you would probably rather be a manager than a managee. In the sense that a degree is increasingly required for even middle-level
24、jobs, your investment in a college education will still pay off.It can pay off in other ways too. It is a value judgment to say that a college education will make you a better person, but it is a value judgment that the vast majority of college graduates are willing to make. Survey after survey demo
25、nstrates that people feel very positive about their college education, believing that it has made them better and more tolerant people.Whether it makes you a better person or not, a college education is likely to have a lasting effect on your knowledge and values. If you finish college， you will sit
26、 through 30 to 45 different courses. Even the least dedicatedstudent is bound to learn something from these courses. In addition, students learn informally.

27、 to have experienced before.

28、open to mew ideas.41.

35、 may explain the results of a recent nationwide study, which suggested 15 percent of urban adults in China have heart problems.Local researchers found that 31. 2 percent of elderly respondents ( 受 访 者 ) were getting enough exercise, but less than 9 percent of youngsters and the middle-aged got enoug
36、h physical activity.Elderly people understand the importance of protecting their health. The young people, however, are busy working and use this as an excuse to avoid exercise. In fact, physica1 exercise doesnt require much time, money or a special gymnasium. People can make use of any time and any
37、 place at their convenience to take part in sports.

Jacob wanted to be an artist, and he believed
44、 that studying the famous painting hanging in that museum would help him.The year was 1930. The depression (经济萧条) had brought hard times.As he walked through Harlem, Jacob noticed the people on the sidewalks. He looked hard at the churches, the funeral parlors and barbershops.

45、ges in his mind, along with the images of paintings he saw in the museum.Jacob came from a poor family.
