blocked her path . thats when she heard the whistle sounded by the driver of a train. her renault clio parked across a railway line. second later, she watched the train drag her car almost a kilometre down the railway tracks. ceelys near miss made the news because she blamed it on her gps device(导航仪).she had never driven the route before .it was dark and raining heavily. ceely was relying on her gps. but it made no mention of the crossing. i put my complete trust in the device and it led me right into the path of a speeding train, she told the bbc. w ho is to blame here? rick stevenson, who tells ceelys story in his book when machines fail us, finger at the limitations of technology. we put our faith in digital devices, he says, but our digital helpers are too often not up to the job. they are filled with small problems. and its not just gps devices: stevenson takes us on a tour of digital disasters involving everything from mobile phones to wireless key boards. the problem with his argument in the book is that its not clear why he only focuses digital technology, while there may be a number of other possible causes. a map-maker might have left the crossing off a paper map. maybe we should blame ceely for not paying attention. perhaps the railway authorities are at fault for poor signaling system. or maybe someone has studied the relative dangers and worked out that there really is something specific wrong with the cps equipment. but stevenson doesnt say.its a problem that runs through the book. in a section on cars, stevenson gives an account of the advanced techniques that criminals use to defeat computer-based locking systems for cars. he offers two independent sets of figures on car theft; both show a small rise in some parts of the country. he says that once once again not all new locks have proved reliable. perhaps, but maybe its also due to the shortage of policemen on the streets. or changing social circumstances. or some combination of these factors.the game between humans and their smart devices is complex. it is shaped by economics and psychology and the cultures we live in. somewhere in the mix of those forces there may be way a wiser use of technology. if there is such a way, it should involve more than just an awareness of the shortcomings of our machines. after all, we have lived with them for thousands of years. they have probably been fooling us for just as long.( )1.whatdidpaulaceelythinkwasthecauseofheraccident?a.shewasnotfamiliarwiththeroad.b.itwasdarkandrainingheavilythen.c. the railway works failed to give the

a group of leading archaeologists(考古学家) says. i a letter addressed to the justice secretary, ken clarke, 40 archaeologists write of their “deep and widespread concern” about the issue. it centers on the law introduced by the ministry of justice in 2008 which requires all human remains unearthed in england and wales to be reburied within two years, regardless of their age. the decision means scientists have too little time to study bones and other human remains of national and cultural significance.“your current requirement that all archaeologically unearthed human remains should be reburied, whether after a standard period of two years or further special extension, is contrary to basic principles of archaeological and scientific research and of museum practice,” they write. the law applies to any pieces of bone uncovered at around 400 dig sites, including the remains of 60 or so bodies found at stonehenge in 2008 that date back to 3,000 bc. archaeologists have been granted a temporary extension to give them more time, but eventually the bones will have to be returned to the ground.the arrangements may result in the waste of future discoveries at sites such as happisburgh in norfolk, where digging is continuing after the discovery of stone tools made by early humans 950,000 years ago. if human remains were found at happisburgh, they would be the oldest in northern europe and the first indication of what this species was. under the current practice of the law those remains would have to be reburied and effectively destroyed.before 2008, guidelines allowed for the proper preservation and study of bones of sufficient age and historical interest, while the burial act 1857 applied to more recent remains. the ministry of justice assured archaeologists two years ago that the law was temporary, but has so far failed to revise it.mike parker pearson, an archaeologist at sheffield university, said: “archaeologists have been extremely patient because we wee led to believe the ministry was sorting out this problem, but we feel that we cannot wait any longer.”the ministry has no guidelines on where or how remains should be reburied, or on what records should be kept.1. according to the passage, scientists are unhappy with the law mainly because _.a. it is only a temporary measure on the human remainsb. it is unreasonable and thus destructive t
