The results obtained show that 50.36% of the fuel consumption for the test vehicle was used at the area of intersections compared with 28.9% of the influencing distance and 68.5% of the running time; and 78.4% of them was burnt at the stages of acceleration and idling.

Consequently, 3 main fuel consumption reduction technologies were put forward and implemented from the aspects of vehicles, driving behaviors and traffic management and control respectively. Above all, advanced engine technologies, which were usually improved by auto makers and researchers, were gradually applied including hybrid electric engine, and turbocharger technology. For instance, hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) or plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) were proved to be successful to reduce the fuel consumption; many relative strategies and methods were proposed to save the HEVs fuel consumption.

China has an emerging middle class that is larger than the entire population of the United States, a sign that developing countries will soon direct or strongly influence the emergence of new technologies designed to serve their needs. Beyond deploying new technologies, developing countries have a potentially large second advantage: they need not follow the same development path through outdated intermediate technologies taken by the developed world. Leapfrogging directly to the most advanced technologies avoids legacy infrastructures and long turnover times, allowing innovation and deployment on an accelerated scale.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"textbox tryIt\" aria-label=\"Try It\">As you read through the passage above, what distinguishing features about the text stand out to you?<\/p>\n<div class=\"qa-wrapper\" style=\"display: block\"><button class=\"show-answer show-answer-button collapsed\" data-target=\"q484834\">Show Suggested Answer<\/button><\/p>\n<div id=\"q484834\" class=\"hidden-answer\" style=\"display: none\">Features you noted might include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>separate &#8220;Learning Objectives&#8221; and &#8220;Introduction&#8221; section<\/li>\n<li>use of the word &#8220;students&#8221; in\u00a0Learning Objectives<\/li>\n<li>bulleted list in Learning Objectives<\/li>\n<li>hyperlink on phrase &#8220;internal combustion engine&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>long sentences<\/li>\n<li>complex and varied sentence structure<\/li>\n<li>formal tone<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p>Again, read through the excerpt below, which is the opening to a longer text. \u00a0What do you notice\u00a0while reading,\u00a0without knowing much about the source overall?<\/p>\n<section class=\"textbox example\" aria-label=\"Example\">\n<h3 class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Example 2: <span class=\"s1\"><b>&#8220;Will the Tesla Model 3 recharge the U.S. electric vehicle\u00a0market?&#8221;<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Few product launches in recent memory have captured as much attention as last week\u2019s unveiling of the Tesla Model 3 electric vehicle (EV), Tesla\u2019s first vehicle pitched at the mass market.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Orders were flooding in even before Tesla CEO Elon Musk revealed the car to a giddy audience last Thursday evening, with prospective buyers queuing at Tesla stores throughout the day to place a deposit on a vehicle they might not even receive for two years or more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Musk made the case for EVs being \u201c<span class=\"s2\">really important for the future of the world<\/span>,\u201d combating rising greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/iframe_api\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p class=\"cc-media-iframe-container\"><iframe id=\"tpm-plugin-abbhebfg-Q4VGQPk2Dl8\" class=\"cc-media-iframe\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Q4VGQPk2Dl8?enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div id=\"3p-plugin-target-abbhebfg-Q4VGQPk2Dl8\" class=\"p3sdk-target\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"cc-media-iframe-container\"><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"\/\/plugin.3playmedia.com\/ajax.js?cc=1&#38;cc_minimizable=1&#38;cc_minimize_on_load=0&#38;cc_multi_text_track=0&#38;cc_overlay=1&#38;cc_searchable=0&#38;embed=ajax&#38;mf=13391689&#38;p3sdk_version=1.11.7&#38;p=20361&#38;player_type=youtube&#38;plugin_skin=dark&#38;target=3p-plugin-target-abbhebfg-Q4VGQPk2Dl8&#38;vembed=0&#38;video_id=Q4VGQPk2Dl8&#38;video_target=tpm-plugin-abbhebfg-Q4VGQPk2Dl8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>You can view the <a href=\"https:\/\/course-building.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/English+Comp\/Transcripts\/Tesla+Unveils+Model+3_transcript.txt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">transcript for \u201cTesla Unveils Model 3\u201d here (opens in new window).<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><br \/>\nThe Model 3 is really important for the future of Tesla and the future of EVs.

When he learned that I was from Washington, he immediately began to ask questions about various public men, and about Congressional affairs; and I saw very shortly that I was conversing with a man who was perfectly familiar with the ins and outs of political life at the Capital, even to the ways and manners, and customs of procedure of Senators and Representatives in the Chambers of the national Legislature.

The results obtained show that 50.36% of the fuel consumption for the test vehicle was used at the area of intersections compared with 28.9% of the influencing distance and 68.5% of the running time; and 78.4% of them was burnt at the stages of acceleration and idling. Meanwhile, the type (c) of the vehicular operating status was illustrated to be the worst way of reducing fuel consumption, the causes were analyzed and four improvement strategies were put forward.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Introduction<\/span><\/h4>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">Statistically, one-third of the gasoline was exhausted by autos worldwide each year; and energy supply had become one of huge challenges for human beings. Consequently, 3 main fuel consumption reduction technologies were put forward and implemented from the aspects of vehicles, driving behaviors and traffic management and control respectively. Above all, advanced engine technologies, which were usually improved by auto makers and researchers, were gradually applied including hybrid electric engine, and turbocharger technology. For instance, hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) or plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) were proved to be successful to reduce the fuel consumption; many relative strategies and methods were proposed to save the HEVs fuel consumption. Hu <i>et al<\/i>. and Yang <i>et al<\/i>. addressed the electrochemical energy buffers and robust coordinated control applied for the HEVs separately and the results showed that the proposed strategy could improve the fuel economy<a class=\"footnote\" title=\"http:\/\/journals.plos.org\/plosone\/article?id=10.1371\/journal.pone.0137477#pone.0137477.ref001\" id=\"return-footnote-133-2\" href=\"#footnote-133-2\" aria-label=\"Footnote 2\"><sup class=\"footnote\">[2]<\/sup><\/a><a class=\"footnote\" title=\"http:\/\/journals.plos.org\/plosone\/article?id=10.1371\/journal.pone.0137477#pone.0137477.ref002\" id=\"return-footnote-133-3\" href=\"#footnote-133-3\" aria-label=\"Footnote 3\"><sup class=\"footnote\">[3]<\/sup><\/a>.
