专题限时训练(三十二)阅读填空(二)(限时:每篇15分钟)AA device that stops drivers from falling asleep at the wheel is about to undergo testing at Department of Transport laboratories and could go on sale within 12 months. The system, called Driver Alert, aims to reduce deadly road accidents by 20%40% that are caused by tiredness. Airline pilots can also use it to reduce the 30% of all piloterror accidents that are related to fatigue(疲劳)Driver Alert is based on a computerized wristband(表带). The device,worn by drivers or pilots,gives out a sound about every four minutes during the journey. After each sound the driver must respond by squeezing the steering wheel(方向盘). A sensor in the wristband detects this pressing action and measures the time between the sound and the drivers response. Tiredness is directly related to a drivers response time. Usually,a watchful driver would take about 400 milliseconds to respond,but once that falls to more than 500 milliseconds,it suggests that the driver is getting sleepy.In such cases the device gives out more regular and louder sounds,showing that the driver should open a window or stop for a rest. If the drivers response continues to slow down,the sounds become more frequent until a nonstop alarm warns that the driver must stop as soon as possible.The device has been delivered to the departments laboratories for testing. If these tests, scheduled for six months time,are successful,the markets will bring the product to market within about a year.Title: _1_._2_:To reduce _3_ accidents.Working principle: (the device) based on _4_ (the device) giving out a sound _5_ (the driver) _6_ by squeezing the steering wheel (the device) giving out more regular and louder sounds when response time is _7_ (the driver) stopping _8_if a nonstop alarm rings.

Let us just say that you are suffering from a bad case of wishful thinking. This neednt make you too uncomfortable because you are in good company. Whenever the subject of smoking and health is raised, the governments of most countries hear no evil, see no evil and smell no evil. Admittedly, a few governments have taken timid measures. In Britain for instance, cigarette advertising has been banned on television while the population continues to puff its way to smoky, cancerous death.You dont have to look very far to find out why the official reactions to medical findings have been so lukewarm. The answer is simply money. Tobacco is a wonderful kind of commodity to tax. Its almost like a tax on our daily bread. In tax alone, the government of Britain collects enough from smokers to pay for its entire educational facilities. So while the authorities point out ever so deliberately that smoking may be harmful, it doesnt do to shout too loudly about it.But if the governments of the world were honestly concerned about the welfare of their people, youd think theyd conduct aggressive antismoking campaigns. Far from it! The tobacco industry is allowed to spend huge sums on advertising. Its advertising is as crafty(诡计多端的)as it is dishonest. We are never shown pictures of real smokers coughing up their lungs early in the morning. That would never do. The advertisements always show strong, even cleanshaven young men. They suggest it is manly to smoke, even positively healthy! Smoking is associated with the great openair life, with beautiful girls, true love and togetherness. What nonsense!For a start, governments could begin by banning all cigarette and tobacco advertising and should then conduct antismoking advertising campaigns of their own. Smoking should be banned in all public places like theatres, cinemas and restaurants. Great efforts should be made to inform young people especially of the consequences of taking up the habit. A horrific warning and a picture of a deaths head should be included in every packet of cigarettes that is sold.As individuals, we are certainly weak, but if governments acted honestly and courageously, they could protect us from ourselves.Title: _11_. _12_A lot of people smoke and dont know its harms listed as bronchial troubles, heart disease and lung cancer.A few governments _13_.ReasonTobacco is so important _14_.

She greeted me by name and started talking with great enthusiasm. Every now and then she stopped to smile at me or blow a kiss. She was reading to me an email from my brother, and a lot of it was about his getting the phone company to give him a highspeed Internet connection. It was pretty cool.Rachel was there thanks to a new technology called Facemail. Facemail lets you send emails that can be read to the receiver by an attractive male or female or by a clown. The software, which is free, can be downloaded at www.F.Facemail faces are lifelike, and they copy emotions based on the ones that you put in your text. For example, type in X, and Rachel blows a kiss.Life FX, the company that develops the Facemail, is sure that there are broad business uses. The reason ebusiness is not popular, the company says, is that buying over the Internet lacks the human touch. But what if you went to the Nike website and Michael Jordan greeted you by name, waited on you and personally closed the sale? Besides, the company is talking with Whirlpool Company about the technology in a computer screen on a fridge. Then if Mom cant be at home when the kids get back from school, she can leave a note with voice and image telling them what there is to eat.Sometimes she would stop to smile or_23_;More details of Facemail;DLosing a job is indeed very depressing. A sudden break to the regular monthly income can actually disrupt the life in a very bad way. However, nothing is permanent in life and you can do some things to deal with your unemployment.First of all, dont panic. Things do happen and theyll continue to happen unexpectedly. Dont get extremely discouraged and then land into depression. Believe in yourself and stay calm. Believe this is a temporary phase which is going to get over soon and thus there is no need to worry so much.Once your mind is calm, try to analyze your situation. Why were you unemployed? Were you really able to do that job? Did you ever like it? Were you financially satisfied? Try to find answers to these questions. If you feel the job wasnt of your choice, be happy! You no longer need to work there now. Soon, youll be finding a new job which will be of your interest.Once you know the job is no longer yours, dont complain. Think of other ways to earn money. Keep yourself very active. Call the people who can help you out or can guide you properly. Update your resume and practise interviewing skills. Look out for vacancies(空缺) in the newspaper and on the Internet daily and give as many interviews as you can.After youve analyzed the alternatives, try to improve on your weak areas. If you feel you lack somewhere when it comes to communication, attend some lectures on the subject. If you need some technical training in your field, go ahead and complete a course that will improve your technical skills. Also, socialize with people and make your social life rich.Lastly, try to promote your spirits and be happy.
