Many people have long dreamed of being able to fly around as simply as riding a bicycle. Yet

the safety and strength of a flying bike was always a big problem.

Over the past 10 years, developments in technology have moved the dream of personal flying

vehicles closer to reality. Now, two groups of inventors say such vehicles may be available very soon.

Grant Stapleton from Malloy Aeronautics says the Hoverbike, which is able to get in and out of small spaces very quickly, will be a truly personal flying vehicle. "It can be moved across continents very quickly because it can be folded and packed," he adds.

Mr. Stapleton says safety was the company's main concern when developing the Hoverbike. He says the designers solved the safety issue by using overlapping rotors (折叠旋翼) to power the

vehicle. The company is testing both a one-third size model and a full-size prototype (原型) of the Hoverbike. Inventors say their Hoverbike will most likely be used first by the police and emergency rescue teams.

In New Zealand, the Martin Aircraft Company is also testing a full-size prototype of its personal flying bike, called Jetpack. It can fly for more than 30 minutes, up t0 1,000 meters high and reach a speed of 74 kilometers per hour.

Peter Coker is the CEO of Martin Aircraft Company. He said Jetpack "is built around safety from the start, " In his words, "reliability is the most important part of it. We have safety built into

the actual structure itself, very similar to a Formula One racing car. "

Jetpack uses a gasoline-powered engine that produces two powerful jet streams. Mr. Coker says it also has a parachute (降落伞) that can be used should there be an emergency.

"It opens at a very low altitude and actually saves both the aircraft and the pilot in an emergency," he adds.

24. Which of the following words can best describe the Hoverbike?

A. Powerful. B. Fast. C. Portable. D. Available.

25. What make(s) flying vehicles seem practical now?

A. Modem technology. B. New safety rules.

C. Love of cycling. D. Public concerns.

26. Who are expected to use the Hoverbike first?

A. People who dream of flying. B. People who really love cycling.

C. People who design the bike. D. People who serve public purposes.

27. What's the main concern the two companies share?

A. Safety. B. Speed. C. Size. D. Design.

C

Fifty years ago, the well-loved musician Bob Dylan played at the

Newport Folk Festival and was widely booed (嘘声). The audience may

have been unhappy but Dylan's performance helped change the direction

of music and culture in the United States.

The mid-1960s were a time of great change. One such place of

change was the world of folk music. Bob Dylan became a symbol of

change when he moved from acoustic (原声的) to electric guitar.

Rock music historian Elijah Wald has written a new book about the change. It is called " Dylan Goes Electric. "

“There was a moment in the early 1960s when you could look at the Billboard charts and seven of the top 10 albums were folk records. And Joan Baez, Peter Paul and Mary, the Kingston Trio, all had huge, huge, huge number-one records. "

And then this happened: The "British Invasion" introduced the world to the Beatles and grew

a huge fan base for rock music. That worried many folk musicians, says Elijah Wald.

They hoped that Bob Dylan would come to the rescue. However, a new Dylan sound came from the stage.

Bob Dylan had gone electric, and the followers of folk music were not pleased.

"When Dylan went electric, I think one of the issues was the feeling that - wait a minute,

he's gone over to the enemy. "

Folk lovers had looked to Bob Dylan to save their movement from rock and roll. But, author

Wald says Dylan felt differently about the music.

" Dylan had always liked rock and roll and Dylan didn't think of rock and roll as stupid music. "

In fact, Dylan was a Beatles fan. He later said that from the first time he heard the Beatles he

knew "they were pointing to the direction where music had to go. "

Beyond the music, Dylan's performance that night also marked a turn in American culture.

28. How did the audience feel when Dylan played at the Newport Folk Festival?

A. Excited. B. Unsatisfied. C. Respectful. D. Bored.

29. Which is TRUE about American music world in the early 1960s according to Elijah Wald?

A. Great changes had taken place in folk music.

B. People had grown sincere love for rock music.

C. Folk music was once a huge mainstream pop trend.

D. Bob Dylan was the best American musician at that time.

30. What did folk musicians and followers expect Dylan to do?

A. Change folk music for better. B. Recover the glory of folk music
