You may have experienced the annoyance of being fined because of parking illegally or finding your car towed away(拖走)after leaving it parked somewhere for a couple of minutes．But now a high-tech car sticker that’s designed to be stuck to a car’s windscreen could help motorists avoid such a situation．

The TowStop sticker sends a text message to a driver when touched by a traffic policeman，to allow motorists to send a reply and give them time to move their cars immediately．Frankfurt-based IT consultant，Daniel Kalliontzis，came up with the idea and is raising money to put his ?54(￡43) sticker into production．

Car owners can put the sticker inside their car’s windscreen，having set it up with key information，such as their phone number．The slim design will include a sensor(傳感器)that，when touched by a traffic policeman，will send a text message warning a driver of a possible fine．The driver could then type a reply for the policeman using a smartphone，which will appear on the sticker’s screen．

The smart sticker system will rely on the good will of traffic policemen and in a way，a German law．The law states：an officer has to choose the most efficient and inexpensive way for the car owner to remove the vehicle．It could be cheaper for the government to call the driver than to tow his car．

Mail Online asked the Department of Transport whether the sticker could be used in the UK in a similar way．A spokesman said，“In England there is no legal duty to warn the motorist before issuing the ticket．However，a policeman does have the discretion not to issue a ticket if he doesn’t think the situation is that bad or he just wants to issue a warning．”

So far，Mr．Kalliontzis has raised just over ?3，000(￡2，362)of his ?50，000(￡39，381) goal．If he manages to raise the money，the stickers will be shipped in June 2015．But it appears that car owners using the smart system could get some unnecessary warning messages，because anyone could touch the smart sticker．

1.The author wrote the third paragraph to _______________．

A．explain how a smart car sticker works

B．a(chǎn)dvise drivers to buy a car sticker

C．show the importance of a sensor

D．tell drivers how to park a car

2.We may infer from the text that in Britain _______________．

A．car owners don’t have to worry about a parking ticket

B．smart car stickers wouldn’t work as well as in Germany

C．traffic policemen prefer to call a driver rather than tow his car

D．the Department of Transport thinks highly of smart car stickers

3.The underlined word“discretion” in Paragraph 5 can best be replaced by“____________”．

A．trouble B．pressure

C．freedom D．opportunity

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

A．Daniel Kalliontzis — a great inventor

B．Environment-friendly car stickers

C．Parking systems in Europe

D．End of the parking ticket?

Some people are lucky enough to be born with a good sense of direction and even if they have only visited a place once, they will be able to find it again years later.

I am one of those unfortunate people who have poor sense of direction and I may have visited a place time after time but I still get lost on my way there. When I was young I was so shy that I never dared ask complete strangers the way and so I used to wander round in circles and hope that by some chance I would get to the spot I was heading for.

I am no longer too shy to ask people for direction, but I often receive replies that puzzle me. Often people do not like to admit that they didn’t know their hometown and will insist on telling you the way, even if they do not know it; others, who are anxious to prove that they know their hometown very well, will give you a long list of directions which you can not possibly hope to remember, and still others do not seem to be able to tell between their left and their right and you find in the end that you are going in the opposite direction to that in which you should be going.

If anyone ever asks me the way to somewhere, I always tell them I am a stranger to the town in order to avoid giving them wrong direction but even this can have embarrassing results.

Once I was on my way to work when I was stopped by a man who asked me if I would direct him the way to the Sunlight Building. I gave my usual reply, but I had not walked on a few steps when I realized that he had asked for directions to my office building. However, at this point, I decide it was too late to turn back and search for him out of the crowd behind me as I was going to meet with someone at the office and I did not want to keep him waiting.

Imagine my embarrassment when my secretary showed in the very man who had asked for directions of my office and his astonishment when he recognized me as the person he had asked.

1.Who showed the right way to the interviewee according to the passage?

A. A warm-hearted old lady did such a thing

B. The writer did it for himself.

C. The secretary did so.

D. Someone we don’t know.

2.Why did the writer consider himself to be an unlucky dog?

A. Because he always forget the way to home

B. Because of his poor sense of direction

C. Because he did not have any friend.

D. Because he used to be shy and dared not ask others the way.

3.How did the visitor feel when he was showed into the very room?

A. He felt astonished B. He felt embarrassed.

C. He felt very sad. D. He felt strange

4.What is the writer going to do when someone asks him for direction?

A. He will direct the right way to the person willingly.

B. He will give the very person long list of direction

C. He will reply to it by the means of being a stranger to the town

D. He is going to show the man an opposite direction.

For people with thousands of pages to read, speed reading seems like a manna （甘露） from heaven．In addition, speed reading helps lighten the load of information you have to absorb since it provides a filter that you can use in screening all bits of information before you approach them．

1.Examining how much information you need will help you identify how you should read a certain document to maximize your learning and comprehension．Thorough reading may no longer be necessary in some cases, such as when you only need an outline of a certain document．

Another skill that can ease the burden of a reader is the ability to read words in blocks．Make sure you do not spend too long on a certain block．2. This will also make reading less tiresome and boring．

To master this important skill, you have to practice reading more and more words in a certain block at one time．A suggestion shared by some experts regarding this step is to increase the distance between you and the document you are reading．If you can read more and more words in one block, you can cut down on the time it usually takes you to read a certain text and you will be able to read more in a shorter period．

Readers should also practice reducing the number of times they go back to previous sections or blocks．Using a pointer such as the tip of a pencil or pen can also help to make the flow of your reading smoother and faster．3.Thus, your speed in reading will largely depend on the speed of the movement of your pointer．

If you still find yourself confused about the topic even after you have finished reading the document, do not re-read right away．Re-reading immediately will just lead to slower speed in reading．4.Getting your own reading corner will also help．

5. Continue practicing and practicing the techniques aforementioned and soon, you'll achieve the reading speed that will work best for you．

A．In this technique, your eyes will follow the tip of the pointer．

B．This saves time and reduces the effort that you have to make．

C．Taking a short break first is recommended before reading the material again．

D．As a final note, the most important point is consistent and deliberate practice．

E．Your invaluable time can be saved if you can have your reading speed doubled．

F．The first step to increase your reading speed is to identify the specific information you need．

G．Reducing the time you spend on a specific number of words in a block will make no difference．

Maurice Mountain is a retired lawyer in Washington, D.C. He developed a prototype(原型機) for a device he calls the Presto Emergency Boat Ladder. His invention is a small folding ladder that attaches to the side of a boat to help people who fall into the water. Mr. Mountain plans to mass-produce his boat ladder.

He created his invention at a workshop called TechShop. Mr. Mountain says, “I think it encourages innovation. I think people who probably have had ideas rolling around in the back of their minds for years but have never had the opportunity to actually put them into production or even experiment with them would find this place wonderful. Members of TechShop use high-tech equipment to develop and produce ideas they have for inventions.” Isabella Musachio manages a TechShop in Arlington, Virginia. She says the shop has many different kinds of equipment.

“TechShop is a do-it-yourself maker space. So when you come in we have all these different areas of the shop, and we have a metal shop, wood shop, lasers, 3D printers, electronics.

Membership costs for TechShop start at just over $ 100 per month. Members are able to use costly machines including 3D modeling tools and laser cutters. Isabella Musachio says TechShop helps its members build their dreams.

“Our motto is ‘build your dreams here’ because you can really come in with just an idea, and then with the help of TechShop make that leap from an idea to building your project o, your prototype or even your business.”

Jim Newton is the founder of TechShop. He first introduced the idea for the technology workshops at an arts and sciences event called Maker Faire in San Mateo, California in 2006. His idea attracted hundreds of members during that event, Now, there are eight TechShop locations in the U. S. In all, there are more than 6,000 members.
