Skimming refers to looking only for the general or main idea Skimming allows
you to pick up some of the main ideas without paying attention to detail It is a fastprocess To skim effectively, don’t read everything
1.2 Order of the steps
Step 1 Read the first sentence of each paragraph or the topic sentences.
Step 2 Drop down through the rest of the paragraph, looking for important pieces of
information, such as names, dates, or events, until you are near the end
Step 3 Stop skimming there and read in detail since the last few paragraphs may
contain a conclusion or summary
1.3 Practice:
Practice 1 Read the text and decide which heading will go with which paragraph.
1 The main parts of automobiles
2 Automobile is combined by many different systems
3 The classifying of automobiles
A
Automobiles are powered and controlled by a complicated interrelationshipbetween several systems This diagram shows the parts of a car with a gas engine andmanual transmission (the air filter and carburetor have been removed to show the parts
Trang 10beneath but usually appear in the space above the intake manifold) The major systems
of the automobile are the power plant, the power train, the running gear, and thecontrol system Each of these major categories include a number of subsystems, asshown here The power plant includes the engine, fuel, electrical, exhaust, lubrication,and coolant systems The power train includes the transmission and drive systems,including the clutch, differential, and drive shaft Suspension, stabilizers, wheels, andtires are all part of the running gear, or support system Steering and brake systems arethe major components of the control system, by which the driver directs the car
B
Automobiles are classified by size, style, number of doors, and intended use Thetypical automobile, also called a car, auto, motorcar, and passenger car, has fourwheels and can carry up to six people, including a driver Larger vehicles designed tocarry more passengers are called vans, minivans, omnibuses, or buses Those used tocarry cargo are called pickups or trucks, depending on their size and design Minivansare van-style vehicles built on a passenger car frame that can usually carry up to eightpassengers Sport-utility vehicles, also known as SUVs, are more rugged thanpassenger cars and are designed for driving in mud or snow
C
The automobile is built around an engine Various systems supply the enginewith fuel, cool it during operation, lubricate its moving parts, and remove exhaustgases it creates The engine produces mechanical power that is transmitted to theautomobile’s wheels through a drivetrain, which includes a transmission, one or moredriveshafts, a differential gear, and axles Suspension systems, which include springsand shock absorbers, cushion the ride and help protect the vehicle from being damaged
by bumps, heavy loads, and other stresses Wheels and tires support the vehicle on theroadway and, when rotated by powered axles, propel the vehicle forward or backward.Steering and braking systems provide control over direction and speed An electricalsystem starts and operates the engine, monitors and controls many aspects of thevehicle’s operation, and powers such components as headlights and radios Safetyfeatures such as bumpers, air bags, and seat belts help protect occupants in an accident
Trang 111.4 Reading for Specific Information about “Automobile Systems”
1.4.1 Scanning a text
Scanning is the best strategy for searching for specific information in a text.Move your eyes up and down the text until you find the word or words you want.Again, try to ignore any information which will not help you with your Practice
1.4.2 Order of steps
Step 1 Identify the information you need
Step 2 Move very quickly over the text and look for answers to only one question at a
Step 5 Write/choose the correct answer, and then move on to the next question and
follow the same way
Practice 2 Answer these questions.
1 What are the main functions of the engine?
1 Vans are designed to carry people
2 Minivans can carry more than 9 people
3 Sport-utility vehicles are more rugged than passenger cars
4 Sport-utility vehicle can be drived in mud or snow
5.The engine produces mechanical power
Trang 126 Drivetrain consist of a transmission, one or more driveshafts, a
differential gear, and axles
7 Suspension systems includes springs and shock absorbers and
cushion
8 Wheels and tires are rotated by powered axles
9 Steering and braking systems provide control over direction and
speed
10 Electrical system only starts and operates the engine
11 Bumpers, air bags, and seat belts are safety features of automobile

Practice 5: Read the text about car production and complete the diagram bellow.
BUILD TO ORDER
Trang 18Almost every car is produced to the
customer’s specific requirements – a
built-to-order car.
As soon as a car is ordered and a
delivery date agreed, weekly and daily
production schedules are created and
sent to outside suppliers and the
company’s own pre-assembly stations
This is to make sure that all the
necessary components arrive on time
First of all, a small data carrier is
attached to the floor pan in the body
shop This data carrier contains all the
customer’s specifications and
communicates wirelessly with control
units along the production line In the
body shop the floor pan, wheel arches,
side panels and roof are welded
together by robots to make the frame of
the car The add-on parts - the doors,
boot lid, and bonnet - are then mounted
to make the body-in-white
The finished body shell then goes intothe paint shop where the data carrierdetermines the colour In final assembly,the interior and exterior parts (for examplethe front and rear bumpers, headlights,windscreen, and other windows) are fitted.After quality control and a final check, thefinished car can be released It is nowready for delivery to its new owner
Practice 6: Complete the sentences with the passive form of the verb in
brackets.
THE PASSIVE
We often use the passive voice to describe a process It is formed using the verb
to be and the past participle (the 3rd form) of the verb We use by to say who or
what does the action
Almost every car is produced to the customer's specifications.
The floor pan and the roof are welded by robots.
The finished car can be released.
1 This model is produced (produce) in the new factory in Poland
Trang 192 German cars (sell) all over the world.
3 The orders (can/place) by fax or on line
4 The cars (assemble) by robots
5 Spare parts (can/buy) from your local dealer
6 The interiors (design) by computer
7 Tyres (should/replace) before they wear down completely
Practice 7: Put these steps for changing a tyre inthe right order.
Start like this: The first step is to put the vehicle into gear or park (e) Then you
a Remove the old tyre from under the vehicle
and lower the vehicle
b Take the spare tyre out of the boot and make
sure it is in good condition
c Check again to make sure the wheel nuts are
tight
d Remove the tyre and put it under the vehicle,
next to the jack
e Put the vehicle into gear (manual
transmission) or park (automatic)
f Use a jack to raise the vehicle
g Fit the spare tyre and tighten the wheel nuts
h Find two rocks or large pieces of wood and put them in front of and behind theopposite wheel
i Loosen the wheel nuts slightly
j Loosen the wheel nuts more and remove
Over the last ten years people have
got used to the sight of very small cars
parhed in tiny parking spaces smart
is one of the world’s youngest car
makes and yet the smart fortwo is such
a distinctive car that it has already
been included as an exhibit in the
Museum of Modern Art in New York
- one of only six cars to attain this
distinction.
Trang 20In April 1994, the Micro Compact Car
AG was founded in Switzerland as a
joint venture between Mercedes-Benz
and Swatch Nicolas Hayek, the inventor
of the Swatch watch, brought his idea
for an ultra short small car, and
Mercedes Benz contributed expertise
and experience from more than a
hundred years of building cars
Engineers devised a car which is not
only extremely mobile and efficient, but
also very economical Its other key
feature is safety, with its unique tridion
cell
After starting development in 1994, the
smart fortwo celebrated its premiere at
the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1997
Production in Hambach, France,
started in July 1998, and in October
sales took off in other Europeancountries In 1998, smart became a100% subsidiary of what was thenDaimler-Benz AG (today DaimlerChrysler AG)
There is no doubt that the smart fortwo is a leader in urban mobility.
All smart veh icles embody the samebrand values and have the same
’DNA" innovation, functionality,and joie de vivre They appeal topeople who are sporty, independent,and young at heart; people who loveclever solutions and are open to newideas 36 month or 25,000-milewarranty
● Questions:
Do you own a smart, or would you ever buy one?
What are the advantages and disadvantages of the smart?
In which countries do you think small cars are most successful?
Do you think small cars will become more popular in the future? Why, or whynot?
