A car that runs on coffee is unveiled（shown to the public for the first time）today but at between 25 and 50 times the cost of running a car on petrol, the invention won’t please any motor industry accountants．

Nicknamed the Car-puccino, it has been created using a 1988 Volkswagen Scirocco bought for £400 and it was chosen because it looked like the time-traveling DeLorean in the movie Back To The Future．The car will be driven the 210 miles between Manchester and London powered only by roasted coffee granules （颗粒）．It has been built by a team from the BBC1 science programme Bang Goes The Theory and will go on display at the Big Bang science fair in Manchester to show how fuels other than traditional petrol can power vehicles．

The team calculates the Car-puccino will do three miles per kilo of ground coffee （咖啡粉） — about 56 cups of espressos （浓咖啡） per mile．The journey will use about 70 kilos of ground coffee which, at supermarket prices of between £13 and £26 a kilo depending on brand and quality, will cost between £910 and £1,820, or between 25 and 50 times the £36 cost of petrol for the journey．In total, the trip will cost 11,760 espressos, and the team will have to take ‘coffee breaks’ roughly every 30 to 45 miles to pour in more granules．They will also have to stop about every 60 miles to clean out the ‘coffee filters’ to rid them of the soot and tar which is also generated by the process．So despite a top speed of 60mph, the many stops mean the going will be slow, with the journey taking around ten hours．

Sadly, the inventors will still have to pay duty on their coffee fuel---even though tax collectors at Her Majesty’s Revenue and Custom haven’t yet worked out how much．

Nick Watson, producer of Bang Goes The Theory, said, “Coffee, like wood or coal, has some carbon content so you can use it as a fuel．The coffee needs to be very dry and in granules to allow the air to move through the pile of coffee as it burns．The brand doesn’t matter．” He said the same technology could be used to power a car on other unusual fuels, such as woodchips or nut shells, construction or agricultural waste．

1．Which is the right way to choose the coffee used as fuels to run the Car-puccino?

       A．It should be very dry．

       B．The stronger, the better．

       C．The smaller the granules are, the better．

       D．It should be of a certain brand．

2．What can be inferred from the passage?

       A．All kinds of materials can be used as fuels．

       B．The Car-puccino will be put into the market soon．

       C．Nick Watson is the designer of the Car-puccino

       D．Much remains to be improved for the Car-puccino．

3．The Car-puccino has its disadvantages EXCEPT that ________．

       A．it makes a lot of noise

       B．it runs at a very high cost

       C．it has to stop to be refueled very often

       D．it’s not good enough for long-distance journey

4．How much ground coffee will be used to cover a distance of 126 miles in this car?

       A．About 70 kilos                                      B．About 42 kilos．

       C．About 32 kilos                                     D．About 30 kilos

5．Why can coffee be used as a fuel?

       A．It looks like wood or coal．

       B．It contains some carbon content.

       C．It is very cheap．

       D．It is much better than woodchips or nut shells.

A study involving 8,500 teenagers from all social backgrounds found that most of them are ignorant when it comes to money．The findings, the first in a series of reports from NatWesl that has started a five-year research project into teenagers and money, are particularly worrying as this generation of young people is likely to be burdened with greater debts than any before.

University tuition fees （学费） are currently capped at £3,000 annually, but this will be reviewed next year and the Government is under enormous pressure to raise the ceiling.

In the research, the teenagers were presented with die terms of four different loans but 76 per cent failed to identify the cheapest．The young people also predicted that they would be earning on average £ 31.000 by the age of 25, although the average salary for those aged 22 to 29 is just £ 17,815．The teenagers expected to be in debt when they finished university or training, although half said that they assumed the debts would be less than £ 10.000．Average debts for graduates are £ 12，363.

Stephen Moir, head of community investment at the Royal Bank of Scotland Group which owns NatWest, said．"The more exposed young people are to financial issues, and the younger they become aware of them, the more likely they are to become responsible, forward-planning adults who manage their finances confidently and effectively."

Ministers are deeply concerned about the financial pressures on teenagers and young people because of student loans and rising housing costs．They have just introduced new lessons in how to manage debts．Nikki Fairweather aged 15 from St Helens, said that she had benefited from lessons on personal finance, but admitted that she still had a lot to learn about money.

1．Which of the following can be found from the five-year research project?

       A．Students understand personal finances differently.

       B．University tuition fees in England have been rising.

       C．Teenagers tend to overestimate their future earnings.

       D．The students' payback ability has become a major issue.

2．The phrase "to raise the ceiling" in paragraph 2 probably means "______".

       A．to raise the student loans

       B．to improve the school facilities

       C．to increase the upper limit of the tuition

       D．to lift the school building roofs

3．According to Stephen Moir, students_______.

       A．are too young to be exposed to financial issues

       B．should learn to manage their finances well

       C．should maintain a positive attitude when facing loans

       D．benefit a lot from lessons on personal finance

4．What can we learn from the passage?

       A．Many British teenagers do not know money matters well

       B．Teenagers in Britain are heavily burdened with debts.

       C．Financial planning is a required course at college．

       D．Young people should become responsible adults.
