piano in the middle of this crowded place?”she explained to me that she sees so many 45 people in the world that she is trying to relieve the pain by 46 motivational music.instead of continuing my way home, i said to her, “i have been going through a 47 time lately, but youve made me 48 again.”“im happy that i could be 49 to you,” she replied. “why are you so sad?”i told her my story and said, “im not so 50 about what to do.”“you see, heres the 51 ,” she responded. “when you were walking, your head was down.” she looked me in the eyes and went on, “dont look defeated, because 52 comes in

automakers are focused on safety systems more than ever before. given the emphasis on improving safety, its possible that well-known phrases such as “live fast and die young” may lose their meaning as innovative (创新的) new devices are built into cars and trucks and other things that go.many of the new safety systems that are being added to high-end vehicles are computer-assisted technologies that transfer some of the vehicles operations to the vehicle itself, rather than relying only on the drivers decision-making skills. for example, predictive brake assist is an in-vehicle feature that prepares the vehicle for braking when its built-in sensors detect a potential object ahead. the predictive brake assist basically places the vehicles braking system on alert, which helps the system to slow down the car in as little time and as short a distance as possible.other in-vehicle sensors will detect moving and still objects and will even distinguish the objects based on simple patterns, such as other vehicles vs. a person. whats more, built-in “active systems”, i.e., predictive precollision (可预测碰撞) systems, will provide drivers with advance detection of potential contact between vehicles.these systems compute the relative movement of the objects and detect possible dangerous intersections (交点).what technological developments have enabled innovations like predictive precollision systems? essentially, these so-called active systems are the result of vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communications. these communication links allow highways to provide a vehicles owners with services such as renting a movie during the trip, as well as reduce reaction delays when medical care is needed due to a crash. despite these new technologies, drivers cannot take safety for granted. until all vehicles are fully automated, it is the drivers themselves who are responsible for operating their vehicles and obeying traffic laws designed to keep roadways secure. so, keep your eyes on the road and your hands on the steering wheel (方向盘). d63. “predictive precollision” can be used to _. a. detect possible dangerous crossroads b. compute the relative movement of the contacting vehicles c. brake the car automatically in as little time as possible d. detect potential contacts between vehicles in advance c64. which of the following statements is not true?a. advanced safety systems make driving an easier job. b. automakers pay more attention to safety system than before.c. new advanced technology makes the vehicle operation rely only on the vehicle itself.d. drivers are still expected to drive carefully despite the built-in advanced safety system.c65. we can conclude that the new technology will _.a. put an end to road accidentsb. force people to obey traffic lawsc. see a wide use in the futured. ensure the quality of medical careb66. which of the following would best serve as the title for the passage?a. live fast, die youngb. new systems, safer drivingc. new technology, relaxed drivers d. high-end vehicles, big innovationd. the silent young woman in bed number six is called jasmine. so am i, but names are only superficial things, floats on the surface of the water, and we share deeper connections than that. that is why she fascinates mewhy i spend my off-duty time sitting beside her. today is difficult. the ward (病房) is full of patients and i am kept busy emptying bed-pans, filling out forms, changing dressings. finally, late in the afternoon, i get a few moments to make coffee, to take it over to the orange plastic chair beside her bed. i am thankful to be off my feet, glad to be in her company once again. “hello, jasmine,” i say, as if greeting myself. she does not reply. jasmine never replies. she is down too deep. she has been sea-damaged. i too am the daughter of a fisherman, so i choose my words like fish-hooks, cast them into her ears, imagine them sinking down through cold, dark water. down to wherever she may be. “i have little time today,” i tell her, touching her hair. with jasmine, it is always difficult not to touch. she is that rare thing, a truly beautiful woman. because of this, people invent reasons to walk by. i catch them looking, drinking her in, feeding on her. they are barracuda (梭鱼), all of them. great beauty is something jasmine and i do not share. i am glad of it. “your father may be here soon,” i say. “last week he said he would come.” jasmine says nothing. her left eyelid flickers, perhaps. it is two months since the incident on her fathers fishing boat, since she fell overboard, sank, became entangled in the nets. it was some time before anyone noticed, then there was panic. her father hauled her back on board and sailed for home. when he finally arrived, he carried ashore what he thought was his daughters body. “jasmine,” i whisper. i want her to take our baited (用作诱醒的) name. i want her to swallow it. fortunately, there was a doctor in the village that morning, a young man visiting relatives. it was he who brought this drowned woman back from the brink, he who told me her story. she opened her eyes, he said, looked up at her father and spoke a single wordthen sank again, this time into coma. barracuda. that is what jasmine said. when her father visits, he touches her hair, kisses her cheek, sits in the orange pl
