With the Tesla Roadster and other plug-in (插入式) electric vehicles hitting the road，demand

is growing for accessible refueling points to recharge them.Carbon Day Automotive，a Chicago-based company，has now demonstrated a solar-powered recharging point，known as the

Solar Plug-In Station，which lets motorists easily charge their cars using electricity that has been produced without any environmental damage.

The Solar Plug-In Station has gone on show in Chicago as part of the city?s bid to host the 2016 Olympic Games.According to Carbon Day Automotive，the Solar Plug-In Station on show in Chicago is part of the vital infrastructure(基础设施) required for electric vehicles in Chicago and was the focus of a recent visit by the International Olympic Committee.

These solar-powered electricity points will be used daily to fuel the city?s electric vehicles

with power from the sun.By producing the electricity from pollution-free solar cell，the CO2 emissions are reduced to zero.

“Solar energy and electric vehicles are a partnership that is one more step to reducing our dependence on foreign oil，” says Richard Lowenthal，CEO of Coulomb Technologies.Coulomb Technologies recently developed the components (部件) required for individual recharging stations，marketed as ChargePoint Networked Charging Stations.Carbon Day Automotive is the Midwest distributor for the ChargePoint stations.

The Solar Plug-In Station consists of giant solar panels (电池板) that shade the tiny ChargePoint Networked Charging Station.The solar panel is connected to an underground battery pack，ready for everyday refueling.

“Without these stations it would be like driving around in a traditional car without the availability of gas stations，” says Scott Emalfarb，CEO at Carbon Day.“The day of true plug-in electric vehicles will be here sooner than most people realize and the world needs to be ready to accommodate them.” 26．The Solar Plug-In Station is used as part of the bid to host the Olympics mainly because

Everyone knows that taxation is necessary in a modern state：Without it，it would not be possible to pay the soldiers and policemen who protect us；nor the workers in government offices who look after our health，our food，our water，and all the other things that we cannot do for ourselves；nor the ministers and members of parliament(国会) who govern the country for us.By means of taxation，we pay for things that we need just as much as we need somewhere to live and something to eat.

But everyone knows that taxation is necessary，different people have different ideas about how taxation should be arranged.Should each person have to pay a certain amount of money to the government each year？Or should there be tax on things that people buy and sell？If the first kind of taxation is used，should everyone pay the same tax，whether he is rich or poor？If the second kind of tax is preferred，should everything be taxed equally?

In most countries，a direct tax on persons，which is called income tax，exists.It is arranged in such a way that the poorest people pay nothing，and the percentage of tax grows greater as the taxpayer?s income grows.In England，for example，the tax on the richest people goes up as high as ninety-five percent!

But countries with direct taxation nearly always have indirect taxation too.Many things imported into the country have to pay taxes or “duties”．Of course，it is the men and women who buy these imported things in the shops who really have to pay the duties，in the form of higher prices.In some countries，too，there is a tax on things sold in the shops.If the most necessary things are taxed，a lot of money is collected，but the poor people suffer most.If unnecessary things like jewels and fur coats are taxed，less money is got but the tax is fairer，as the rich pay it.

Probably this last kind of indirect tax，together with a direct tax on incomes which is low for

D．Take care of.

the poor and high for the rich，is the best arrangement. 36．The first paragraph tells us about the________. A．tax policies B．taxable items

C．arrangement of taxation

D．importance of taxation

37．Which of the following statements about income tax is NOT true in most countries? A．The poorest pay no tax.

B．The poor pay the same taxes as the rich. C．The rich pay more taxes than the poor. D．The rich pay a very high percentage of tax.

38．People who buy imported items in the shops have to pay duties________. A．to the government office B．at a lower price

C．as an income tax

D．in the form of higher prices

39．According to the writer，if valuable things are taxed，________. A．much money is collected B．the poor suffer a lot C．the rich will be happy D．the tax is more reasonable

40．In the passage，the writer suggests________. A．two kinds of income taxes

B．the importance of indirect taxes C．the fairer income taxes

D．more than one kind of indirect taxes

The quality of drinking water in Shanghai will meet European Union standard by 2015 and，a decade later，citizens in Shanghai will drink the best water in the world.

These were the goals set by the Shanghai Water Authority.With the city?s population expected to increase only slightly and the economy to boom by 2020，Chen Yin，an official with the water authority，said Shanghai?s water consumption will not increase from its present amount.

Zhang Yue，director of the Urban Construction Division under the Ministry of Construction，said，“Shanghai is the first city in the country to publicize these ambitions.They will not be easy to achieve.”

He said water saving will help keep the sustainable development of China?s economy.

Saving one cubic meter of water means saving the city?s infrastructure(基础设施) costs by 10,000 yuan.Last year，Shanghai saved 300 million cubic meters of water either from readjustment of industrial structure or the employment of new technology.

“The_aim is to arouse public awareness of the seriousness of water shortage，” Chen said，“The abundant surface water and amount of rain of the city are so misleading that they result in improper use of water.”

Shanghai lacks drinkable water.The Huangpu River，which supplies 80 percent of the city?s
