26、ly, the long-awaited flying car is almost here.AeroMobil, a Slovakian company, plans to start selling its creation, the AeroMobil 3.0, in 2018.The company claims on its site that the vehicle “transforms in seconds from an automobile to an airplane” by using “existing infrastructure(基础设施) created for
27、 automobiles and planes.” The vehicle is gas-powered and has wings that fold, which allows it to be parked like a car, though it is nearly 20 feet long.The companys web site features a video where the AeroMobil 3.0 drives out of a hangar (飞机库) and goes down a highway, sharing the road with regular c

The car then unfolds its wings and takes off from a stretch of grass, rather than a paved tarmac (停机坪) , and flies through the air like any other small airplane.AeroMobil spokesman Stefan Vadocz said his company hasnt nailed down an exact price because its not re

32、liable flying car off the ground has been a serious challenge. Glenn Curtiss, a strong competitor of the Wright Brothers, discovered this in 1918 when he developed the Curtiss Autoplane. It turned out to be more of a hopper than a flyer, so it failed to take off with the public.The AeroMobil 3.0 has
33、 at least one competitor, the Terrafugia Transition, which also runs on gas and has folding wings. Terrafugia has said in the past that it plans to release the Transition into the market this year.28. The AeroMobil 3.0 has the following features EXCEPT that .A. it can transform between a car and an

39、hen Easterners look at a scene, they tend to focus on the surroundings as well as the object.Using an experiment involving two tasks, Dr. Hedden asked subjects to look at a line simply to estimate its length, a task that played to Americans strengths. In another, they estimated the lines length rela

The experiment found that although there was no difference in performance, the levels of activity in the subjects brain were different. For the Americ
41、ans, areas linked to attention were more, when they worked on the task they tended to find more difficult. For the Asians, the attention areas lit up more during the harder task. The findings are a reflection of more than ten years of previous experimental research into East-West differences.In one
42、study, for instance researchers offered people a choice among five pens; four red and one green. Easterners were more likely to choose a red pen while Westerners were more likely to choose the green one.Culture is not affecting how you see the world, but how you choose to understand and internalize(
43、使内化) it.But such habits can be changed. Some psychological studies suggest that when an Easterner goes to the West or vice versa, habits of thought and perception also begin to change. Such research gives us clues to how our brain works and is hopeful for us to develop programs to improve our memory

According to the passage, Chinese people are most likely to _.A. focus on the context as well as the objectB. always focus more on their surroundingsC. more emphasize independent thinkingD. think of Westerners as highly independ

We know from the passage that peoples brains will be more active when _.A. the task is more difficult B. the blood flow is trackedC. people begin to choose colors D. the task is much easier34.
