Global Positioning Systems are now a part of everyday driving in many countries. These satellite-based systems provide turn-by-turn directions to help people get to where they want to go. But, they can also cause a lot of problems, send you to the wrong place or leave you completely lost. Many times, the driver is to blame. Sometimes a GPS error is responsible. Most often, says Barry Brown, an expert in human-computer interaction, it is a combination of the two.

We spoke to Mr. Brown by Skype (网络电话软件). He told us about an incident involving a friend who had flown to an airport in the eastern United States. There he borrowed a GPS-equipped car to use during his stay. Barry Brown: “And they just plugged in an address and then set off to their destination. And, then it wasn't until they were driving for thirty minutes that they realized they actually put in a destination back on the West Coast where they lived. They actually put their home address in. So again, the GPS is kind of ‘garbage in garbage out’”.

Mr. Brown says this is a common human error. But, he says, what makes the problem worse has to do with some of the shortcomings, or failures, of GPS equipment. Barry Brown :“One problem with a lot of the GPS units is they have a very small screen and they just tell you the next turn. Because they just give you the next turn, sometimes that means that it is not really giving you the overview that you would need to know that it's going to the wrong place.”

Barry Brown once worked on a project with Eric Laurier from the University of Edinburgh. The two men studied the effects of GPS devices on driving by placing cameras in people’s cars. They wrote a paper based on their research. It is called “The Normal, Natural Troubles of Driving with GPS”. It lists several areas where GPS systems can cause confusion for drivers. These include maps that are outdated, incorrect or difficult to understand. They also include timing issues related to when GPS commands are given.

Barry Brown says to make GPS systems better we need a better understanding of how drivers, passengers and GPS systems work together.

C. Cameras are urgently needed to help improve GPS systems.

D. Drivers, GPS systems and passengers should unite to improve GPS systems.

26.What is Mr. Brown's attitude towards GPS?

A. Unconcerned.          B. Prejudiced.          C. Objective.          D. Critical.

27.What would be the best title for the text?

A. Driving with GPS can be difficult.

B. Driving confusions can be caused by small screens

C. Driving without GPS should be much more convenient

D. Problems with GPS are caused by human errors.

Although Paris is often considered the city of romance, close to a million adults who call it home are single. Many single people say that France’s capital is one of the most difficult places to meet people. The complaints(抱怨) of this lonely group have inspired a new phenomenon known as “supermarket dating.” At Galerie Lafayette Gourmet, singles can shop for more than just the items on their grocery list. They can look for someone who has blue eyes, brown hair, and is 1.8 meters tall, or whatever may be on their romantic shopping list.

At this Paris location, single people of all ages can schedule their shopping for Thursday nights between 6:30 and 9:00 p.m. When they walk through the door, they pick up a purple basket to advise that they are looking for love. They try to arrive early because the baskets disappear quickly, and then they have to wait in line for their turn to wander the store aisles(过道) .

With purple baskets in hand, shoppers can consider their romantic options while they pick out their groceries. When they are ready to pay, they can go to the checkout line for singles who want to chat.

Most of the people who look for love in the supermarket are skeptical of Internet dating. They know that it is easy to embellish(美化) one’s appearance or to lie about one’s age over the Internet. The supermarket, on the other hand, is considered a safe and casual environment in which to meet a potential match. In addition, what one finds in another’s grocery basket can say a thing or two about that person’s character or intentions. Buying pet food can be a man’s way of showing a potential match that he has a sensitive side. Women who fill their baskets with low-fat food show their healthy style of living. These days it’s possible to find much more than food at a grocery store.

A. The supermarket dating is more convenient.

B. The supermarket dating is more casual.

C. The supermarket dating can be trusted more.

D. The supermarket dating is less expensive.

Every day born a decade from now will have its genetic code (基因编码)mapped at birth, the head of the world’s leading genome sequencing (基因图谱)company has predicted.

A complete DNA read–out for every newborn will be technically possible and affordable in less than five years, promising a revolution in healthcare, says Jay Flatley, the chief executive of Illumina. Only social and legal problems are likely to delay the age of “genome sequences,” or genetic profiles. By 2019 it will have become routine to map infants’ genes when they are born, Dr Flatly told The Times.

This will open a new approach to medicine, by which conditions such as high blood pressure and heart disease can be predicted and prevented and drugs used more safely and effectively.

A baby’s genome can be discovered at birth by a blood test. By examining a person’s genome, it is possible to identify raised risks of developing diseases such as cancers. Those at high risk can then be screened more regularly, or given drugs or dietary advice to lower their chances of becoming ill.

Personal genomes could also be used to ensure that patients get the medicine that is most likely to work for them and least likely to have side–effects.

The development, however, will raise legal concerns about privacy and access to individuals’ genetic records.

“Bad things can be done with the genome. It could predict something about someone – and you could possibly hand the information to their employer or their insurance company.” said Dr Flatley.

“People have to recognize that this horse is out of the barn, and that your genome probably can’t be protected, because everywhere you go you leave your genome behind. Complete genetic privacy, however, is unlikely to be possible”, he added.

As the benefits become clearer, however, he believes that most people will want their genomes read and interpreted. The risk is nothing compared with the gain.

32. In the first two paragraphs, the author mainly wants to tell us about__________.

     A. the significant progress in medicine      

     B. the promise of a leading company

     C. the information of babies’ genes    

     D. the research of medical scientists

33. Which of the following is a problem caused by this approach?

      A. The delaying in discovering DNA.

      B. The risk of developing diseases at birth.

      C. The side effects of medicine on patients.

      D. The letting out of personal genetic information.

34. What does the underlined sentence “… this horse is out of the barn” mean?

      A. Genetic mapping technique has been widely used.

      B. people can’t stop genetic mapping technique advancing.

      C. People are eager to improve genetic mapping technique.

      D. Genetic mapping technique is too horrible to control.

35. What’s Dr Flatley’s attitude towards the technology?

      A. Tolerant.   B. Conservative.   C. Positive.   D. Doubtful.

The average computer user has between 5 and 15 username/password combinations to log（登录） in different kinds of account. Some demand you use a specific number of symbols and digits（数字）, while others require you to change your password every 60 days. The feeling of confusion resulting from memorizing these login information has grown so common that it actually has a name: password fatigue(疲劳). 

Having to remember so many different passwords is annoying, but it can also be dangerous. Because it is virtually impossible to remember a unique password for each of these accounts, many people leave handwritten lists of usernames and passwords on or next to their computers.   36      While these practices make it easier to remember login information, they also make it easier for thieves to hack into accounts. 

Single Sign-On (SSO) confirmation and password management software can help solve this problem. With SSO, users only need to remember one password to log in to the main system.   37     SSO software is typically used by large companies, schools, or libraries. 

   38     If a user loses or forgets the password required to log in to SSO software, the user will then lose access to all of the applications linked to the SSO account. Users who rely on password management software face the same problems. 

Although most websites or network systems allow users to recover or change lost passwords by providing email addresses or answering a prompt（提示）, this process can waste time and cause further frustration. What is more, recovering a forgotten password is only a temporary solution.   39     

    Some computer scientists have suggested computers rely on biometrics(生物测定学).    40     The use of biometrics raises questions concerning privacy and can also be expensive to practice. 

    Software engineers and computer security experts are still searching for the cure to password fatigue. Until they find the perfect solution, however, everyone will simply have to rely on the password system currently in place. 

  A. It does not address the larger problem of password fatigue.

  B. These software programs have been built into many major web browsers 

  C. The problem with password management software makes users feel powerless. 

  D. The SSO software then automatically logs the user in to other accounts within the system.

  E. However, SSO confirmation and password management software also have drawbacks.

  F. This is a method of recognizing human users based on unique traits（特征）, such as fingerprints, voice, or DNA. 

  G. Others solve this problem by using the same password for every account or using extremely simple      passwords.
