A
Elon Musk is famous for making bold claims and big bets. Here’s a look at some of his recent goals and how they’re shaking out. Self-drivingTesla cars Goal What he said A million full self-driving Teslas will be on roads by 2020. “I feel very confident predicting autonomous robo-taxis for Tesla next year,” Musk said at Tesla’s autonomy day for investors last month. It’s hard to believe Tesla will pull off the timeline. No self-driving Teslas are on the road today due in part to the fact that the software isn’t ready. Tunnels can solve urban congestion. “You can alleviate any arbitrary level of urban congestion with a 3D tunnel network,” he said in April 2017. Hyperloop would be an underground vacuum tube in which electric pods move people at speeds over 600 mph. The Boring Company Musk’s tunneling venture, is currently developing Loop projects in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Chicago and between Washington, DC, and Baltimore, Maryland. Space tourism around the moon will occur by 2018. “Next year is going to be a big year for carrying people to the space station and hopefully beyond,” he said in February 2017. SpaceX, Musk’s rocket and space exploration company, failed to deliver on its promise. In February 2018, Musk said SpaceX would use its Big Falcon Rocket for tourism instead. That move is now scheduled to come as soon as 2023. Humans will have brain-computer interfaces as soon as 2025 “I think we are about eight to 10 years away from this being usable by people with no disability,” he said in April 2017. Musk has taken steps to meet this deadline, but it’s too early to say yet if he will succeed. Neuralink, a company Musk created in 2017, is making a brain-computer interface to physically plug into a person’s head. Neuralink’s plans have largely been kept quiet but it continues to hire staff. Status Hyperloop and Loop Goal What he said Status Trips to the moon Goal What he said Status Brain computer interfaces Goal What he said Status
21. Which of Elon Musk’s predictions has so far failed to come true? A. Trips to the moon. B. Hyperloop and Loop.
C. Self-driving Tesla cars. D. Brain computer interfaces. 22. The Boring Company is established to _______.
A. create vacuum tubes B. solve traffic problems C. build tunnels over the world D. speed up the SpaceX program 23. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Autonomous robo-taxis are actually impractical. B. Musk is concerned about the future of the world.
C. Musk’s Neuralink is suspected of doing something illegal.
D. Musk makes predictions merely to attract the world’s attention.

I was 17 years old. My brother Kyle and I were thinking about writing a book because it seemed like a good way to reach others and share what we had learned. However, we were doubtful. Could we really do it? What if no one liked it? What if we failed? What if…
We had to think differently As teens, we had little to lose by trying and a lot to lose by letting this opportunity slip by so we decided to give it a shot. Locked up in our small 10x10 foot bedroom, which reached 103 degrees on hot summer days, we just started writing. We wrote a list of goals, people we wanted to meet, things we wanted to own, as well as inspirational quotations—anything to keep us focused and motivated.
A few weeks later, a family friend offered us two tickets to a local business conference where Jack Canfield was the keynote speaker. The event was a valuable experience and at the end of it, we waited in line for over thirty minutes to personally speak with Jack. We shared our book idea with him and he didn’t laugh! Instead, he offered us the support, encouragement, and insight we needed to realize our goal.
We finally completed our first book, Cool Stuff They Should Teach in School. The full process took three and a half years of hard work and sacrifices, but in the end, it was worth every minute. It was such a strange but rewarding feeling to walk into a bookstore and see our book on the shelves.
Since its publication, we have enjoyed seeing its impact on other young people and receiving e-mails from readers almost every day. Sure enough, requests to speak at various venues soon came rolling in.
All of us have opportunities around each day, but most people don’t recognize them because they’re often disguised as hard work. It comes down to our ability to see problems as opportunities and our willingness to take a leap of faith without the guarantee of success. As Michael Nolan once said, “It’s not who we are that holds us back; it’s who we think we’re not.” 24. The author and his brother decided to write a book _______. A. to get some experience B. to encourage their peers C. to call for readers’support D. to share something with others 25. How did they manage to finish their first book?
A. By focusing on small goals. B. By turning to publishers for help.
