~ History of automobile
The history of the automobile begins as early as 1769, with the creation of steam- powered automobiles capable of human transport In 1806, the first cars powered by internal combustion engines running on fuel gas appeared, which led to the introduction in 1885 of the ubiquitous modern gasoline or petrol-fueled internal combustion engine. Cars powered by electricity briefly appeared at the turn of the 20th century but largely disappeared from commonality until the turn of the 21st century, when interest in low- and zero-emissions transportation was reignited. As such, the early history of the automobile can be divided into a number of eras based on the prevalent method of automotive propulsion during that time. Later periods were defined by trends in exterior styling and size and utility preferences.
3. What is the difference between general book and reference book?
The distinction between a book and a reference book can be confusing. Some books that you might "reference" are still considered "books" for the purposes of citation. For example, the MLA Handbook, APA Publication Manual, and other writing style books would be treated as "books" in your bibliography.
Reference books are used to find factual information on a subject, and are not usually read all the way through or chapter by chapter. In a K-12 library, reference books are usually located in a special reference collection area, and cannot be checked out. Reference books include dictionaries, encyclopedias, thesauri, almanacs, atlases, and directories.
As a side note, in APA, the reader must also distinguish between reference books and what are called "annual periodicals." For example, consider a yearbook (which looks like a reference work). Annual periodicals often resemble edited books. To tell the difference, look at the publication's subtitle. If the subtitle changes annually, it should be treated as an edited book or reference work. If there is no subtitle, or the subtitle does not change year to year, it should be treated as an annual periodical.
4. When do you need to search information from the reference collection?
I usually search information from the reference collection when I need to find it, or when I want to know more information about that.
5. What type of reference collection that you like to use most? and why?
Atlas is the type of reference collection that I would like to use most, because it shows the map, geography and topography of each country and describe about global. It is very good because it has many information of each country that I do not know before.

Title: WritingTopic: Cut the
Topic: Down toSize
Cut the topic down to a size you can manage. One of the biggest obstacles to the success of a short essay is an oversize topic. If you try to write a five-hundred-word essay on the most commonplace generalizations about it: we squander; we deppend too much on foreign oil; we must develop new sources of energy at home. When you fill up a paper with generalizations like these, you leave yourself no room to think and discover, to inject your own experience into the writing process. Also, you bore readers by telling them what they have already heard many times before.
you probably drive a car on occasion; perhaps you own one. Instead of makinf generalizations about the whole energy crisis, you could write about your personal trobles in keeping the wheels rolling. How much has the rising cost of gas affected the way you live? Do you take fewer trips than you once did? Do you ride a cicycle? By cutting the topic down to manageable size, by focusing on a small piece of a big subject, you give yourself the chance to look at it closely and see it with your own eyes.
