4 . In one of the more unusual experiments we’ve seen recently, researchers attached a large pair of cartoonish huge eyes to the front of a small, self-driving vehicle—and it turns out that this kind of adaptation could actually improve pedestrian (行人) safety.
A pair of eyes on the front of driverless vehicles could, according to the researchers, give people standing by the road a better idea of whether they’ve been seen. That’s one useful bit of information to have when it comes to determining the perfect moment to cross in front of oncoming traffic. “If the car is not looking at the pedestrian, this implies that the car does not recognize the pedestrian,” said one of the researchers. “Thus, pedestrians can judge that they should not cross the street, thereby avoiding potential traffic accidents.”
For the purposes of this study, the researchers used a car which seemed as if no one was inside. A pair of large, swiveling (旋转的) eyes on the front were controlled by researchers, but in the future could be controlled by the car’s AI on an actual self-driving vehicle.
To keep the 18 participants safe, experiments were conducted in virtual reality. The volunteers—nine men and nine women—were asked to decide whether or not to cross the road as the car approached. Four scenarios(方案) were tested in total; two when the car was fitted with eyes, and two when it wasn’t. The researchers measured how often people hesitated to cross when it was in fact safe to do so, and how often they chose to cross when it was dangerous. Overall, the presence of the eyes led to safer and smoother crossing experiences for the participants.
However, there was a gender split in the results. For men, the eyes only really helped in dangerous situations, warning them to pause when they might otherwise proceed. For women, the eyes boosted confidence by signaling it was safe to cross.

7 . In the UK, there is one car for every 5 people. In the USA there is one for every 2.5 people. So Americans sometimes have one car for every member of the family.
The family, with whom Liz, a student from Britain, is staying, have got four cars: a Mercedes-Benz for father, who drives it to work, a Chevrolet for mother, who uses it for shopping and visiting her friends, and Alex and his sister both have Fords. All the four cars are less than two years old, but none of them are as large as Liz has imagined.
“Smaller Cars have been made for a long time now,” Alex explained.“Partly because large cars burn up too much gas, and partly because of competition from smaller foreign cars, mostly Japanese and German.”
“I’ve noticed,” Liz said, “that your sidewalks don’t go as far as the suburbs, and yet you’re not supposed to walk along the highway.”
“That’s because nobody walks to work here,” Alex explained. “We do as little walking downtown as possible. We can’t do without our cars. We can do almost everything by using cars.”
“Did your father give you and June your cars?”
“Sure! But he won’t have money for gas or repairs or license. That’s why we both have part-time jobs three times a week. June waits table. I’m a teaboy.”
“But June’s just 17. At home we can’t get a learner’s license till we’re 17.” “We get one at 16 here. So all we have to do is to take a road test and get a driver ‘s license the moment we’re 17.”
1. June’s mother________.| A．is a housewife | B．is a teacher | C．is visiting her friends | D．doesn’t know Liz |
| A．are new and larger than Liz has bought |
| B．were made in Japan and Germany |
| C．aren’t old and they aren’t allowed to go to the suburbs |
| D．were bought less than two years ago and smaller than Liz has imagined |
| A．because they are poor |
| B．because they want to buy cars |
| C．to pay for gas and repairs and license |
| D．to pay for education |
| A．Nearly every American citizen has two cars. |
| B．A family has more cars in the USA than in the UK on average. |
| C．Both in the USA and the UK, people are allowed to get the license at the same age. |
| D．There will be no sidewalks at all in the near future in the USA. |
8 . They say once you learn how to ride a bike, you never forget. Most of us learnt when we were kids, and many still put on our helmets, put our feet on the pedals, and shoot off for a ride around the streets.
First, let’s look at the health benefits. Cycling can improve your cardiovascular (心血管的) health and burn extra body fat. And it also helps strengthening your leg muscles.
Cycling can be a great way to commute (通勤) or get about town.
So, whether people want to cycle for their health, getting about town, their wallet, the environment, or a combination of all of them, cycling is gaining increasing popularity than ever before.
| A．In recent times, cycling is making a comeback. |
| B．By cycling, you save money on fuel or train fares. |
| C．Finally, cycling can also be good for the environment. |
| D．Cycling’s benefits aren’t just physical, but mental as well. |
| E．And once you have decided on cycling, the next thing is to ride it safely. |
| F．Many people prefer bicycle tours compared with other forms of transportation. |
| G．If you’re worried about safety, there are newly-built cycle paths in many cities. |
9 . Today, bicycles are elegantly simple machines that are common around the world. Many people ride bicycles for recreation, whereas others use them as a means of transportation. The first bicycle was invented in Germany in 1818. Because it was made of wood, it wasn’t very strong nor did it have pedals (脚踏板). Riders moved it by pushing their feet against the ground.
In 1839, Kirkpatrick Macmillan, a Scottish blacksmith, invented a much better bicycle. Macmillan’s machine had iron-covered wheels to keep them from getting worn down. He also used foot-operated levers, similar to pedals, so his bicycle could be ridden at a quick pace. It didn’t look much like the modern bicycle, though, because its back wheel was substantially larger than its front wheel. Although Macmillan’s bicycles could be ridden easily, they were never produced in large numbers.
In 1861, Frenchman Pierre Michaux and his brother Ernest invented a bicycle with an improved pedal mechanism. They called their bicycle a VELOCIPEDE, but most people called it a “bone shaker” because of the effect of the wood andiron frame. Despite the impolite nickname, the VELOCIPEDE was a hit. After a few years, the Michaux family was making hundreds of the machines annually, mostly for fun-seeking young people.
Ten years later, James Starley, an English inventor, made several innovations that revolutionized bicycle design. He made the front wheel many times larger than the back wheel, put a gear on the pedals to make the bicycle more efficient, and lightened the wheels by using wire spokes. Although this bicycle was much lighter and less tiring to ride, it was still clumsy, extremely top-heavy, and ridden mostly for entertainment.
It wasn’t until 1874 that the first truly modern bicycle appeared on the scene. Invented by another Englishman, H. J. Lawson, the safety bicycle would look familiar to today’s cyclists. The safety bicycle had equal-sized wheels, which made it easier to ride. Lawson also attached a chain to the pedals to drive the back wheel. By 1893, the safety bicycle had been further improved with air-filled rubber tires, a diamond-shaped frame, and easy braking. With the improvements provided by Lawson; bicycles became extremely popular and useful for transportation. Today, they are built, used, and enjoyed all over the world.
