Koninginnedag－The Netherlands
Koninginnedag or Queen's Day is a national holiday in the Kingdom of the Netherlands.Although the birthday of the current Queen,Beatrix,is actually during the winter,she has celebrated it on April 30th,the country's official “Queen's Day”since 1949.Orange is the national color,and the streets become a sea of feather boas(围巾)and body paint as crowds gather in the plazas and on boats in the rivers.Amsterdam is the center of this outdoor party,with many live music events,but nearly every town is alive with orange on this day.
Thai Elephant Day－Thailand
Thai Elephant Day is a national holiday in Thailand.Thai Elephant Day has been celebrated on March 13th of every year since 1998.Because the elephant is the national animal of Thailand,it is highly respected and treasured.During the festivals elephants are honored during a ceremony in which they are fed bananas,other fruit,and sugarcane.
The Fire Festival－Shetland
On the last Tuesday in January the entire town of Lerwick,Shetland goes up in flames.At the festival,you'll find yourself sitting,dancing,or stumbling around the largest bonfire you've ever seen in your life.The festival lasts only one day but takes the entire year to plan.Be prepared for an evening of singing,dancing,and fastpaced activity,and don't worry about making it to work the next day－it's a national holiday!
Holi－India
Holi,the Festival of Colors,is a Hindu celebration full of joy and one of India's most important holidays.On the day of the last full moon of the lunar month,usually late February or early March,the air is full of bright-colored powder.The festival is celebrated differently throughout the country,with bonfires and music,but the cheerful spirit is common throughout Hindu communities around the world.

People always said my father was the salt of the earth, because he would never pour salt on a wound, or make someone feel worse about something that was already a bad experience.However, sometimes he told us a story that seemed bigger than life.So we had to take it with a grain(粒)of salt.That is, we could not believe everything he told us.

An Australian company,Smart Car Technologies,has developed a system that lets drivers know when they're speeding.When the technology becomes commercially available,it could help lead-footed drivers avoid tickets and also save lives.The company that developed the product hopes to convince Australian
government agencies to put the technology into use in their automobile fleets.
The product,called Speed Alert,links real-time location data and speed obtained with the help of GPS to a database of posted speed limits stored in a driver's PDA or programmable mobile phone.The setup of the product does not need to be hooked up to a car's speedometer.In fact,it is entirely portable.It will also work with newer phones and PDAs that have built-in GPS receivers.If a driver exceeds the speed limit,the speed is shown and an alert sounds.
Michael Paine,an Australian vehicle design engineer and traffic safety consultant,was hired to analyze the product.He told Live Science that his colleagues in the road safety field are “very enthusiastic”about what they're now calling “intelligent speed alert”．Other research,according to Paine,shows that 40 percent of all traffic deaths involve speeding.There is also a potentially controversial future use：“Since the system is so portable,it would be easy to make it a requirement for teenage drivers to always use a speed alert device when driving,”Paine said.“The system even has the capability to record speeding violations,so parents can monitor their teenage drivers.”
The product will soon go on sale in Sydney. 9．What's the purpose of the new product? A．To inform us of the new car system. B．To introduce some improvement in cars. C．To limit certain drivers to safe driving. D．To popularize the built-in car system.
【解析】 推理判断题.文中第一段提到这个系统能够帮助驾驶员降低速度减少收到罚单的几率并能够保证司机的驾驶安全.根据这些分析我们可以发现C项正确.
