Do you think it doesnt really matter? If soyou are wrong. A team of American scientists says that cars driven on the right hand side of the road probably help to make tornadoes. The Americans says that cars and trucks going very fast past each other make the air turn anti-clockwise in the northern hemisphere(北半球). In the southern hemisphere the air goes clockwise. So cars in the USA must drive on the left and cars in Australia, for example, must drive on the right! There are about 2.5million cars and trucks moving on the roads in the USA at any moment. The air that they move is probably enough to change the movement of the atmosphere. In the past 40 years, there were six times as many tornadoes in the USA as there were before. These 40 years were the years when every day more and more people started learning to drive cars and trucks. Scientists say that there are not so many tornadoes on Sundays. The time when traffic is heaviest is during the week when so many people drive to work. 69. It is _ whether to drive on the left or right.

Today, most large national banks, many local banks and credit unions offer some form of online banking, variously known as PC banking, home banking, electronic banking or Internet banking. Online banks are sometimes referred to as “brick-to-click” banks, both to tell them from “brick-to-mortar” banks that havent yet offered online banking, as well as from “virtual” banks that have no physical branches or tellers whatsoever. The challenge for the banking industry has been to design this new service channel in such a way that its customers will readily learn to use and trust it. Most of the large banks can now offer fully safe, fully functional online banking for free or for a small cost. As more banks succeed online and more customers use their sites, fully functional online banking will likely become as commonplace as automated teller machines. Online banking has a lot of advantages. Unlike your corner bank, online banking sites never close; theyre at hand 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and theyre a mouse click away. If youre out of state or even out of the country when a money problem appears, you can logon instantly to your online bank and take care of business. Online bank sites generally carry out and confirm deals at or quicker than ATM processing speeds. Many online banking sites now offer fashionable tools to help you manage all of your valuable items more effectively. 72. The word “eliminate” in the first paragraph probably means “_”. A. move B. remove C. reduce D. improve 73. What is the challenge for the banking industry according to the text? A. To make online banking attractive. B. To open new services all over the world. C. To offer online banking for free. D. To take care of business 24 hours a day. 74. From the passage we can conclude that _. A. “brick-to-click” banks are in fact another kind of physical banks B. the function of a “brick-to-click” bank is as common as an ATM C. a “brick-to-mortar” bank is no better than a virtual one D. customers can deal with their banking by a mouse click 75. What would be the best title for this passage? A. Banking of Various Forms B. Improvement of Banking Industry C. Development of Online Banking D. Functions of the
