The center of American automobile innovation     1    (move) 2,000 miles away in the past decade. It has migrated from Detroit to Silicon Valley,     2     self-driving vehicles are coming into life.

In a bid to take production back to Detroit, Michigan lawmakers have introduced legislation   that could make their state     3    (good) place in the country, if not the world, to develop self-driving vehicles and put them on the road.

“Michigan’s role in auto research and development is under attack from several states and countries which desire to take     4     place of our leadership in transportation. We can’t let happen,” says Senator Mike Kowall, the lead sponsor of four bills     5    (recent) introduced.

If all four bills pass as     6    (write), they would represent an important update of Michigan’s 2013 law that allowed the testing of self-driving vehicles in limited conditions. Manufacturer would have nearly total freedom     7    (test) their self-driving technology on public roads. They would     8    (allow) to send groups of self-driving cars on cross-state road trips, and even set on-demand rows of self-driving cars, like the one General Motors and Lyft are building.

Lawmakers in Michigan clearly want to make the state ready for the commercial use of self-driving technology.     9    contrast, California, home of Silicon Valley, proposed far more restrictive rules that would require human drivers be ready for the commercial     10    (apply) of self-driving technology.

Do you know the UK government has     1    (successful) passed a law banning branding on packs of cigarettes? That means tobacco manufacturers will be forced     2    (pack) their cigarettes in plain packets. The motivation behind this     3    (decide) is to make smoking less appealing to people, especially children. A similar law     4    was passed in Australia in 2012 has resulted     5    a fall in smoking rates from 15.1% to 12.8% for people aged 14. As for January 2015, 22% of adult men and 17% of adult women smoke in Great Britain. The possibility of smoking in the UK increases with age so that at the age of 15, 8% of school children     6    (be) regular smokers. It is thought that children will be less attracted to cigarettes     7    (sell) in unbranded boxes. Smoking is one of     8    biggest causes of preventable deaths in England. Every year about 80,000 die and over 450,000     9    (send) to hospital due to smoking. This places a large strain(压力) on the health service and is also a factor in why the government would like to prevent people from     10    (take) up smoking or help them quit.
