    Your next car could have two seats, three wheels---two in front and one in the back and a top speed of more than 100 miles per hour. Elio Motors plans to make such a tiny car named the Elio. Its two seats sit front and back instead of side by side. The driver is positioned in the center with the passenger directly behind.

    The starting price for the car is just $6,800. It has only one door, on the left side, which cuts a few hundred dollars off the manufacturing costs. Having three wheels also makes it cheaper. It has air conditioning, power windows and door locks and an AM/FM radio. More features can be ordered through Elio's long list of suppliers. Elio will also sell the cars directly through its own stores and not through franchised dealers (特约经销商).

    Paul Elio dreamed as a kid that he would one day own a car company called Elio Motors. In 2008, tired of high gas prices, he started working on a car that burns gas in a more effective way. Equally important to him was creating U.S. manufacturing jobs and making the car inexpensive enough to attract buyers who might otherwise be stuck in their old, unreliable (不可靠的)cars. “Whatever matters to you, this can move the needle on it,” he said.

    Already, more than 27,000 people have reserved (预订)one. Paul hopes to make 250,000 cars a year by 2016. So far, reservation holders are those who will use the Elio as a second car or third car for work. Finally, though, he believes the car will interest high school and college students as well as used-car drivers who want something newer and more reliable.

                                                                                                       卖酒者传
                                                                                                             魏禧
       万安县有卖酒者,以善酿致富。平生不欺人,或遣童婢沽,必问:“汝能饮酒否?”或倾跌破瓶缶,辄家取瓶,更注酒,使持以归。由是远近称长者。
里中有数聚饮平事不得决者,相对咨嗟。卖酒者问日:“诸君何为数聚饮相咨嗟也?”
       聚饮者日:“吾侪保甲贷乙金,甲逾期不肯偿,将讼。讼则破家,事连吾侪,数姓人不得休矣!”
       卖酒者日:“几何数?”日:“子母四百金。”卖酒者日:“何忧为?”立出四百金偿之,不责券
       客有橐重资于途者,甚雪,不能行。闻卖酒者长者,趋寄宿。雪连日,卖酒者日呼客同博,以赢钱买酒肉相饮吱。客多负,私快快日:“卖酒者乃不长者耶?然吾已负,且大饮啖,酬吾金也。”雪霁,客偿博所负,行。卖酒者笑日:“主人乃取客钱买酒肉耶?天寒甚,不名博,客将不肯大饮啖。”尽取所偿负还之。
        魏子日:吾闻卖酒者好博,无事则与其三子终日博,喧争无家人礼。或问之,日:“儿辈嬉,否则博他人家,败吾产矣。”嗟乎!卖酒者匪唯长者,抑亦智士哉!

【注释】①平事,商量事情。②咨嗟:叹息。③侪:,同辈,同类的人。③子母:利息和本金。⑤责券:求取证据。⑥橐:名词作动词,“用口袋装”的意思。⑦酬,这里是“花费”的意思。
