Speeding off in a stolen car, the thief thinks he has got a great catch.But he is in for an unwelcome surprise.The car is fitted with a remote immobilizer, and a radio signal from a control centre miles away will ensure that once the thief switches the engine off, he will not be able to start it again.

The idea goes like this.A control box fitted to the car contains a mini-cellphone, a micro-processor and memory, and a GPS (全球定位系統(tǒng)) satellite positioning receiver.If the car is stolen, a coded (編碼的) cellphone signal will tell the control centre to block the vehicle’s engine management system and prevent the engine being restarted.

In the UK, a set of technical fixes is already making life harder for car thieves.“The_pattern_of_vehicle_crime_has_changed,” says Martyn Randall, a security expert.He says it would only take him a few minutes to teach a person how to steal a car, using a bare minimum of tools.But only if the car is more than 10 years old.

Modern cars are far tougher to steal, as their engine management computer won’t allow them to start unless they receive a unique ID code sent out by the ignition (點火) key.In the UK, technologies like this have helped achieve a 31% drop in vehicle-related crime since 1997.

But determined criminals are still managing to find other ways to steal cars, often by getting hold of the owner’s keys.And key theft is responsible for 40% of the thefts of vehicles fitted with a tracking system.

If the car travels 100 metres without the driver confirming their ID, the system will send a signal to an operations centre that it has been stolen.The hundred metres minimum avoids false alarms due to inaccuracies in the GPS signal.

Staff at the centre will then contact the owner to confirm that the car really is missing, and keep police informed of the vehicle’s movements via the car’s GPS unit.

The remote immobilizer is fitted to a car to ________.

       A.prevent car theft by sending a radio signal to the car owner

       B.help the police make a surprise attack on the car thief

       C.prevent the car thief from restarting it once it stops

       D.a(chǎn)llow the car to lock automatically when stolen

By saying “The pattern of vehicle crime has changed”, Martyn Randall suggests that ________.

       A.it takes a longer time for the car thief to do the stealing

       B.self-prepared tools are no longer enough for car theft

       C.the thief has to make use of computer technology

       D.the thief has lost interest in stealing cars over 10 years old

________ is necessary in making a modern car tougher to steal.

       A.A coded ignition key          B.A unique ID card

       C.A special cellphone signal         D.A GPS satellite positioning receiver

The operations centre will first ________ after receiving an alarm.

       A.start the tracking system  B.contact the car owner

       C.block the car engine D.locate the missing car

If you've been joining in chat room conversations, or trading e-mail with Web pals, you have become one of the millions who write in a peculiarly short form of English.?

And you've got a sense of humor about short forms like SOHF(=sense of humor failure) to describe Internet newcomers who don't understand you.

Across the globe, every night teenagers and their elders are “talking” online—many of them are talking at the same time.?

It's fast: try talking to six people at once. It's brief: three or four words per exchange. It takes wit, concentration, and quick fingers.?

And it requires tremendous linguistic economy. There's neither time nor space for explanations. Why consume precious key-strokes telling six friends you have to leave for a moment to take care of your little brother when BRB(=be right back) will do? Want to enter a conversation? Just type PMFJI(=pardon me for jumping in).  Interested in whom you're talking to? Type A/S/L, the nearly universal request to know your pal's age, sex and location. You may get 15/M/NY as a response from your pal.?

If something makes you laugh, say you're OTF(=on the floor),or LOL(=laughing out loud),or combine the two into ROTFL(=rolling on the floor laughing).?

And when it's time to get back to work or go to bed, you type GTG(=got to go) or TTYL(talk to you later).?

People want to write as fast as possible, and they want to get their ideas across as quickly as they can. Capital letters are left in the dust, except when expressing emotion, as it takes more time to hold down the “shift” key and capitals. Punctuation is going, too.?

In order to talk to several people at the same time on the Internet_______.

A. you have to speak fast and fluently?

B. you have to express your ideas in a brief way?

C. you should speak with wit and humor ?

B. you are talking to a girl who is 17 and lives in New York?

Television has opened windows in everybody’s life.  55 Millions of people now have seen the effects of a battle. And the result has been a general dislike of the war and perhaps more interest in helping those who suffer from all the terrible things that have been shown on the screen.

  56 The most distant areas can now follow state affairs, see and hear the politicians before an election. Better informed, people are more likely to vote, and so to make their opinion count.

  57  Children do not have enough experience to realize that TV shows present an unreal world, that TV advertisements lie to sell products that are sometimes bad or useless. They believe and want to practice what they see.  58 .

All educators agree that the “television generation” are more violent than  their parents and grandparents. Also, the young are less patient. Used to TV shows, where everything is quick and interesting, they do not have the patience to read an article without pictures, t read a book that requires thinking, to listen to a teacher who doesn’t do funny things like the people on children’s programs. And they expect all problems to be solved happily in ten, fifteen , or thirty minutes. 59  .

A.Unfortunately, television’s influence has been extremely harmful to the young.

B.Young men will never again go to war as they did in 1914.

C.That’s the time it takes on the screen.

D.They do believe that the violence they see is normal and acceptable.

E. People have become used to crimes now.

F. Television has also changed politics.

G. In the past, many young people were willing to be soldiers.

When I was small and my grandmother died, I couldn’t understand why I had no tears. But that night when my dad tried to cheer me up, my laugh turned into crying.

.   So it came as no surprise to learn that researchers believe crying and laughing come from the same part of the brain. Just as laughing has many health advantages, scientists are discovering that so, too, does crying.

Whatever it takes for us to reduce pressure is important to our emotional (情感的) health, and crying seems to study found that 85 percent of women and 73 percent of men report feeling better after crying.

Tears also enable us to understand our emotions better; sometimes we don't even know we' re very sad until we cry. We learn about our emotions through Crying, and then we can deal with them.
