13.The Intelligent Transport team at Newcastle University have turned an electric car into a mobile laboratory named"DriveLAB"in order to understand the challenges faced by older drivers and to discover where the key stress points are.
Research shows that giving up driving is one of the key reasons for a fall in health and well-being among older people,leading to them becoming more isolated(隔絕)and inactive.
Led by Professor Phil Blythe,the Newcastle team are developing in-vehicle technologies for older drivers which they hope could help them to continue driving into later life.
These include custom-made navigation(導(dǎo)航) tools,night vision systems and intelligent
speed adaptations.Phil Blythe explains:"For many older people,particularly those living alone or in the country,driving is important for preserving their independence,giving them the freedom to get out and about without having to rely on others."
"But we all have to accept that as we get older our reactions slow down and this often results in people avoiding any potentially challenging driving conditions and losing confidence in their driving skills.The result is that people stop driving before they really need to."
Dr Amy Guo,the leading researcher on the older driver study,explains,"The DriveLAB is helping us to understand what the key points and difficulties are for older drivers and how we might use technology to address these problems.
"For example,most of us would expect older drivers always go slower than everyone else but surprisingly,we found that in 30mph zones they struggled to keep at a constant speed and so were more likely to break the speed limit and be at risk of getting fined.We're looking at the benefits of systems which control their speed as a way of preventing that.
"We hope that our work will help with technological solutions(解決方案) to ensure that older drivers stay safer behind the wheel."

3.As we all know,different countries have different cultures.The cultures of the East and the West really distinguish each other a lot.(16)G
The origin of the eastern cultures is mainly from two countries:hina and India.Both of the two cultures are fostered by rivers-the Yellow River in China and the Hindu River in India.(17)D Then in Tang Dynasty of China,the Chinese culture gradually went overseas to Japan,mixed into the Japanese society and shaped the Japanese culture nowadays.Though a bit different from the Chinese one,it belongs to the same system.
When the two mother rivers gave birth to the Eastern culture,another famous culture was brought up on the Mesopotamian Plain-the Mesopotamian Civilization.This civilization later on developed into the cultures of Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome.(18)B Like the Chinese culture,the European one also crossed waters.When the British settled down in America,their culture went with them over the Atlantic Ocean.So the American culture doesn't distinguish from the European one a lot.
(19)F ake the language system for example.In the East,most languages belong to the pictographic language while the Western languages are mostly based on the Latin system.Other causes like human race difference counts as well.But what's more,due to the far distance and the steep areas between the East and West,the two cultures seldom communicate until recent centuries.So they grew up totally in their own ways with almost no interference (干擾) from the other.
The differences are everywhere.(20)E But different cultures make the world of 21st century more colorful.The cultural gap should not be the obstacle (障礙) to the civilization of human being.It ought to be the motivation of our going farther.

A.Let us work together to keep a variety of culture.
B.And these two are well-known as the base of the European culture.
C.One important thing is to learn about other cultures.
D.They helped the two cultures develop for centuries and form their own styles.
E.They are obvious and affect people's ways of thinking and their views of the world.
F.At the same time,some other differences add to the cultural differences.
G.This is because the culture systems are two separate systems on the whole.

4.How many men do housework?Recently a European commission tried to find out people's ideas and reactions to the women's movement.As part of their survey they asked many men and women the question:"Who does the housework?"The men answered very differently from the women!
The housework they asked people about were:preparing meals,washing dishes,cleaning the house and babysitting.48% of British husbands said they did these things.37% of Danish men helped in the house.But only 15% of Italian men said they did the housework; many of them said they never helped at all.
But there was an interesting point of view from the wives.According to British wives,only 38% of their husbands helped in the house.And Italian wives said that their husbands hardly ever helped.The Italian and British men did not tell the truth!The Commission found that Danish men were the most trustful husbands; their answers were the same as their wives'answers.
Do the men you know help in the house?Do you think the survey gives a true picture in your experience?

33.The subject for the survey isB.
A.how many boys do the housework

A.British; Danish       
B.Italian; Danish
C.Danish; British      
D.Italian; British
