The Americans believe that anybody can become President of the United States. In a recent Hollywood comedy(喜剧), that is exactly what happens. Dave Kovic, played by Kevin Kline, is a kind-hearted man who runs a business that finds people jobs. He leads a typical(典型的) American way of life, except for one thing-he looks exactly like the President, Bill Mitchell. In fact, the only thing that makes him different from the nation's leader is that he is very nice! The president has started using look-alikes during some public appearances. Dave is offered a chance to "serve his country" by becomingone. However, things go wrong. The President becomes very ill and Dave ends up acting as the President forever. Director Ivan Reitman, who made the popular and successful comedies likeTwins, Ghostbusters andLegal Eagles, could have gone for easy laughs by making fun of the American government. Instead, Dave is an attractive comedy about an ordinary man in extraordinary situations. Kevin Kline gives a double performance as Dave and the President, and Sigourney Weaver is at her best as his First Lady. The love story that develops between her role and Dave is a real classic(经典). The film is 100% American. However, if you've ever felt that anybody could do a better job running the country than the people in power, then you'll enjoy Dave! |

A.it is still being tried out
B.drivers still have their doubts
C.it increases the cost of car production
D.carmakers are not sure if it is necessary
Carmaker's research and development laboratories have already proved that mixing more noise with the help of loudspeakers can reduce the unwanted noise. Physicists have known about the technique for a long time. Sound is made up of pressure waves in the air. If two sound waves of the same frequency(频率)mix so that the highest point of one wave happens at the same time as the lowest point of the other wave, the result is no sound. Therefore, by producing a perfect copy of the noise and delaying it by half a wave cycle (周期), we can kill the unwanted noise. Using this technique many carmakers are racing to develop noise killing systems (系统)both inside and outside
Another good thing about the use of noise killing systems is that it saves the need for a silencer; this not only reduces the weight of a car, but also makes the motor burn less fuel and work better.
Some engineers believe that the noise killing system will be used in most cars within a few years. But the carmakers haven't decided if they will carry it into production because it would add several hundred dollars to the cost of their cars.
Which of the following gives a general idea of how the noise killing system works?
A.By producing pressure waves going in the opposite direction.
B.By mixing high frequency sound waves with low frequency sound waves.
C.By mixing new sound waves with the noise and sending them out together.
D.By making copies of the unwanted sound waves and letting them out a little later.
