Have you ever seen someone’s anger when you’re stuck in the traffic jam in rush

If yes, you have probably witnessed a case of road rage.
Road rage is aggressive or angry behavior of a driver in a road vehicle. Road rage
includes rude gestures, verbal insults, physical threats or even dangerous driving methods.

cause noisy arguments between drivers and more seriously, physical attacks. That may result
in severe injuries or even death. There are many reasons of road rage, one of them is traffic
jam. With the increased number of private vehicles in the streets, congestion is getting worse
and worse. People are easy to get angry if they are stuck in the traffic jam, so road rage is

VIII. Read the passage and answer the questions.
These days, if you want to travel from New York to Beijing, the flight takes about 16
hours. You also have to wait at the airport, and sometimes you have to transfer onto a
different airplane. If you add all of that extra time, the trip takes at least 20 hours. But in the
future, the trip from New York to Beijing might only take two hours.
Right now, a private company is developing something called ET3. ET3 stands for
“evacuated tube transport technology”. Here is how it works. A tube goes all the way from
New York to Beijing. The tube is only a few meters wide. Capsules move through the tube.
Six people can sit in one capsule. The capsules use electricity instead of gasoline. For
4
international travel, the capsules can travel at about 6,500 kilometers per hour. That is much
faster than airplane - most modern airplanes usually only fly at about 800 kilometers per
hour.
So how is this possible? How can these capsules travel so fast? The answer is that
there is no air inside the tube. When airplanes fly, they have to move through the air. The air
slows the airplanes down. Because there is no air in the ET3 tubes, the capsules are able to
move at a very high speed. Besides, the capsules are quite light. They only weigh 183
kilograms.
It is exciting to think of how ET3 will change travel in the future. Maybe someday,
you will be able to have lunch in New York and dinner in Beijing.
31. How long will it take to travel from New York to Beijing if you travel by ET3?
=> …16 hour………………………………………………………..
32. What does ET3 stand for?
=> …ET3 stand for “evacuated tube transport technology”……………..
33. What does ET3 use to make engine?
=> ………………………………………………………………………
34. How far do most modern airplanes usually fly in one hour?
=> ………………………………………………………………………
35. Why does ET3 can travel that fast?
=> ………………………………………………………………………
