Well, the future is apparently now. The California Department of Motor Vehicles began giving permits in April for panies to test truly self-driving cars on public roads. The state also cleared the way for panies to sell or rent out self-driving cars, and for panies to operate driverless taxi services. Californiaisnt leading the way here. panies have been testing their vehicles in cities across the country. Its hard to predict when driverless cars will be everywhere on our roads. But however long it takes, the technology has the potential to change our transportation systems and our cities, for better or for worse, depending on how the transformation is regulated.While much of the debate so far has been focused on the safety of driverless cars(and rightfully so), policymakers also should be talking about how self-driving vehicles can help reduce traffic jams, cut emissions and offer more convenient, affordable mobility options. The arrival of driverless vehicles is a chance to make sure that those vehicles are environmentally friendly and more shared.Do we want to copy or even worsen the traffic of today with driverless cars? Imagine a future where most adults own individual self-driving vehicles. They tolerate long, slow journeys to and from work on packed highways because they can work, entertain themselves or sleep on the ride, which encourages urban spread. They take their driverless car to an appointment and set the empty vehicle to circle the building to avoid paying for parking. Instead of walking a few blocks to pick up a child or the dry cleaning, they send the self-driving minibus. The convenience even leads fewer people to take public transport an unwele side effect researchers have already found in ride-hailing(叫车) services.A study from the University of California at Davis suggested that replacing petrol-powered private cars worldwide with electric, self-driving and shared systems could reduce carbon emissions from transportation 80% and cut the cost of transportation infrastructure and operations 40% by 2050. Fewer emissions and cheaper travel sound pretty appealing. The first mercially available driverless cars will almost certainly be fielded by ride-hailing services, considering the cost of self-driving technology as well as liability and maintenance issues. But driverless car ownership could increase as the prices drop and more people bee fortable with the technology.Policymakers should start thinking now about how to make sure the appearance of driverless vehicles doesnt extend the worst aspects of the car-controlled transportation system we have today. The ing technological advancement presents a chance for cities and states to develop transportation systems designed to move more people, and more affordably. The car of the future is ing. We just have to plan for it.58. According to the author, attention should be paid to how driverless cars can _.A. make some people lose jobsB. help deal with transportation-related problemsC. cause damage to our environmentD.provide better services to customers59. As for driverless cars, what is the authors major concern?A. Safety.B. Affordability.C. Management.D. Side effects.60. What is the authors attitude to the future of self-driving cars?A. Doubtful.B. Sympathetic.C. Disapproving.D. Positive.CIn King Henry VI, Shakespeare wrote, “to weep is to make less the depth of grief,” and American writer Lemony Snicket said “unless you have been very lucky, you know that a good, long session of weeping can often make you feel better, even if your circumstances have not changed one bit.” Charles Darwin, on the other hand, thought that the production of tears was merely a useless side effect of the way that the muscles around the eye worked. For him, those muscles had to contract(收缩) from time to time so that they didnt overflow with blood; the squeeze of tears was simply an unintended consequence of that evolved physiological process. We now know that cryingat least, the sort that adults dois a plex physiological response to some kind of emotional stimulus. From a scientific perspective, crying is different from the production of tears in response to a chemical stimulus. Even the tears themselves are different. In 1981, Minnesota psychiatrist William H Frey II discovered that tears brought on by sad movies had more protein in them than those that flowed in response to some freshly cut onions.But while all of us are familiar with the feelings that are associated with crying, whether for joy or sorrow, theres not much thats known about why we do it as adultsbut there are plenty of ideas.One idea is that adult crying isnt actually all that different from the sort that babies do, at least when it es to its social nature. In other words, perhaps weeping is a literal cry for attention, a means of soliciting support and help from our friends when we need it the most. Its a way of municating our inner emotional state at a time when we may not be able to fully articulate(清晰地表达) it.While this may explain some forms of crying, many researchers have found that adults often cry when theyre pletely alone. Another possibility is that crying might serve as a means of “secondary assessment,” helping people to realize just how upset they are, a way of helping them understand their own feelingsits a controversial idea, with at least some evidence to support it, in some cases.And then theres the notion of catharsis. This idea is consistent with the words of Shakespeare, but with the Greek philosopher Aristotle, who also wrote that crying “cleanses the mind”. In a 1986 study, one psychologist found that 94% of articles about crying suggested that it helped to lessen psychological tension.Indeed, a xx study of nearly 4,300 young adults from 30 countries found that most reported improvements in both their mental and physical wellbeing after a session of crying, but not all. Some reported no change after a crying session, and some even said that they felt worse afterwards.The difference seems to lie in the social context: if a person felt embarrassed about crying in public, for example, they might feel less resolved than if they cried alone or with a single close friend. So the notion of having “a good cry” is not without benefit, but it seems to necessitatethe right kind of social support to be effective.61.
