12. Reading A Hydrogen Fueling Station With the opening of the first hydrogen fueling station at Aiken, researchers from South Carolina seem to have materialized what they have been preaching for the past few years. With a ribbon-cutting ceremony, the “Hydrogen Highway” road sign was revealed and a full demonstration describing the fueling process was given by the officials. This simple fueling procedure includes a locking nozzle attached to the standard-sized opening situated at the side of vehicle. Once the pump self-checks, fueling starts, which can be heard easily as in the case of gasoline. 12

13. Reading A With the inauguration of this fueling station, the National Hydrogen Conference, which is expected to gather more than 1,000 researchers, entrepreneurs and others to the state for future discussion about hydrogen research, has also started. South Carolina Speaker Bobby Harrel assured that hydrogen will be the next viable energy source of the nation in the future. Furthermore, details suggest that with the increase in demand of hydrogen as fuel, the price will also fall.

17. Reading B Shell's Experimental Automated Gas Station If you find yourself at a loss for some polite conversation with the gas station attendant, soon you may not have to worry. That's because full automation is about to enter the filling station arena. Soon, there will be no one to say, "Fill 'er up," to anymore. In fact, you won't even have to get out of your car. Shell Oil already has a fully automated fuel pump up and running in Elk Grove, California, a few miles south of Sacramento. The company hopes to take the program nationwide over the next few years. The system centers around a fueling robot, which does everything but clean your windshield and engage in friendly banter. Before you can use the system, however, you must equip your car with a special transponder and a special gas cap, both of which are provided by Shell.

18. Reading B Auto Maintenance Here's how it works: You pull into the station and an electronic sensor reads the transponder that you've placed on the dashboard, visor or wherever it can be read. As you pull in, the information from the transponder identifies your car's make and model. That's important, because it tells Shell's robot fueling system, called a Smart Pump, exactly where your fuel-filler door is located. By now you've parked. A pay module moves to the driver's window. You swipe your payment card through the slot, choose the grade of gasoline you want, then hit the interior release for your car's fuel-filler door if your car is so equipped. Meanwhile, an overhead 3D camera validates the make and model of your car. It also reads exactly how you've parked–whether your vehicle is alongside the pump island or a little askew from it. The 3D camera feeds your car's position to a "vision" computer and adds this information to that of the transponder.

19. Reading B Auto Maintenance Based on these inputs, the Smart Pump's robot arm moves to the proper side of your car and slowly lowers itself. It stops at just the right height a few inches from your fuel-filler door. A suction cup above the fill nozzle gently opens your filler door, then retracts. Finally, the fuel nozzle inserts itself through the special cap. The nozzle extends a few inches down into your tank and automatically fills it. And that's basically it. Shell adapted the concept after a Canadian company, International Submarine Engineering, originally developed the technology to fuel F-15 jet fighters while in flight. Shell's Smart Pump automatically fills your car's tank. All you need to do is pull up to the pump and swipe your credit card.

20. Task 1: Read and judge. Read the passage and judge whether the statement is true or false. T ( )1. You won't even have to get out of your car in an automated gas station. ( )2. The fully automated gas station has been applied nationwide. ( )3. As center of the system, the fueling robot could even clean your windshield and engage in friendly banter. ( )4. Any car could use the automated gas station without any preparation. ( )5. The concept was originally developed for the F-15 jet fighters while in flight. F F F T
