Reading
Read the dialogue between a journalist and the press spokesperson of a German car maker. Make a list of the ways the new XPT is different from the old model.
Journalist: So, you’re finally ready to launch the successor to popular XPT sedan.
Spokesperson: Yes, and l think you’ll find that it was worth waiting for. We have optimized the car in several ways.
Journalist: I noticed. For example, when I drove the car before the press conference I felt some changes in the handling.
Chinese version

汽车性能
阅读下列记者与某德系汽车制造商发言人的对话。列出新旧XPT车型的差别。
记者：那么，贵公司终于准备好发布热门XPT轿车的新款了。
发言人：是的，你会发现它值得等待。我们在多方面优化了这款车。
记者：我注意到了。比如，发布会前我试驾该款车时感觉到了操控上的变化。
back
Reading
Spokesperson: That’s right. The front suspension has been stiffened to produce more precise steering at high speeds. We have also increased the size of the disc brakes for a shorter braking distance.
Journalist: Right. Now, I also noticed that the press release says there is improved fuel consumption. I’m surprised, as this is a more powerful, sporty car.
Chinese version
Chinese version
发言人：完全正确。我们把前悬挂加强以便在高速行驶中提供更精确的转向操控。我们还加大了盘刹的尺寸以缩短刹车距离。
记者：是的。现在我还注意到了发布会中提到油耗也得到了改善。这很令人惊讶，因为这是一款动力更强劲、更加运动型的车。
back
Reading
Spokesperson: Let me explain how we did it. Firstly, we have enhanced the Cd value with a new design. We have also reduced the kerb weight of the car by over 5o kilos by using light-weight materials. Actually, the big saving is in the urban consumption. We have introduced a start-stop automatic so that the engine cuts out if you stand still for more than three seconds and starts again when you take your foot off the brake. Ideal for the town. This has a positive effect on the running costs of this car and, of course, on the resale value.
Chinese version
Chinese version
发言人：让我来解释一下我们是如何做到的。首先，我们用新的设计加强了风阻值。我们还通过使用轻型材料降低了超过50公斤的车身自重。实际上，巨大的节约在于城市油耗上。我们引进了自动启停，如果驻车超过三秒钟发动机将熄火，而当刹车踏板抬起后发动机自动启动。城市中的理想选择。这是此款车在行车成本上的积极方面，当然，对于二手车价值来说也是如此。

Reading
Journalist: I see. Can I ask you about the interior It definitely appears more spacious.
Spokesperson: It is. We have also increased the boot capacity to make the car more practical for families and sports people.
Journalist: Right. Well, I can see you’ve certainly made a lot of interesting changes. I’ll be sure to mention them in my article.
Spokesperson：Great. I look forward to reading it.

发言人：太棒了。期待拜读。

Fuel cells
The use of fuel cells promises a reduction in environmental pollution from car exhaust emissions, and the end of our dependence on oil for fuel.
A fuel cell produces an electric current and heat by converting hydrogen and oxygen into water. The output of a single cell is 0.6-0.8 V, but when many cells are combined into a stack,, enough energy is produced to power a 50 KW engine.
Chinese version
Chinese version
燃料电池
燃料电池的使用减少了汽车尾气给环境带来的污染，也终结了我们对于石油作为燃料的依赖。
燃料电池通过将氢和氧转化为水而产生电流和热量。一块电池的输出电压是0.6~0.8 V，但当许多电池串联在一起，就可以给50千瓦的电动机提供足够的能源。
back
Reading
The fuel cell has the highest efficiency in power generation, reaching over 60%, compared to a gasoline-powered car which has 20%.
The oxygen required comes from the air, but hydrogen is not so readily available. Pure hydrogen could be stored on-board the car, but this would use too much space. Alternatively, car makers could use reformer technology to convert gasoline or methanol into hydrogen, but this would reduce the efficiency of the cell.
Chinese version
Chinese version
燃料电池拥有最高的转换效率，可以达到百分之六十多，而汽油驱动的汽车之友百分之二十。
所需的氧气来自空气，但氢是不容易获得。纯氢可以储存在车上，但这会占用太多的空间。另外，汽车制造商可以使用重整技术将汽油或甲醇转化为氢，但这将降低电池的效率。
back
Reading
For drivers there are many practical considerations. Fuel cell-powered cars are neither as fast nor as quiet as gasoline-of diesel-powered cars. At present there are very few hydrogen fuelling stations, so refueling could be a problem. Fuel cell cars have a shorter range, so drivers will have to refuel more often. If a tank of hydrogen is stored on board, there are problems of space and safety.
Fuel cell cars are very expensive to develop and produce, which means they will also be expensive for the customer. Many drivers will not pay extra for ‘green’ car convenient as the current system. Nevertheless, the race is on to produce the first fuel cell-powered family car with CO2 emissions of 90g/km (equivalent to gasoline consumption of 3.01/100km).

Chinese version
Chinese version
对于司机而言还有很多实际的考虑。燃料电池驱动的汽车不像汽油车或柴油车一样快，一样安静。目前有很少的氢加油站，所以加油可能是一个问题。燃料电池汽车行驶范围较小，所以司机将不得不经常“加油”。如果将一个氢罐储存在车上，又存在空间和安全性的问题。
燃料电池汽车开发和生产是非常昂贵的，这意味着对于消费者来说也是昂贵的。在当前系统下，很多司机不会为“绿色”汽车的便捷支付额外的费用。然而，第一辆每公里二氧化碳排放量为90克（相当于百公里耗油3.01升）的燃料电池供电的家用轿车的生产宣告着竞争已经开始。
