SAN FRANCISCO—A phone app（應(yīng)用程序）in San Francisco gives information about open parking spots．City officials in San Francisco introduced the app to try to reduce traffic jams in the city, but some say it raises safety concerns．

In this city, drivers searching for parking spots lead to 30 percent of all downtown jams, city officials think．Now San Francisco has found a solution — a phone app for spot-seekers that shows information about areas with available spaces．The system, introduced last month, relies on wireless sensors（感應(yīng)器）fixed in streets and city garages that can tell within seconds if a spot has opened up．

But the system could come with serious consequences．Some people say that drivers searching for parking could end up focusing on their phones, not the road．“It could be really distracting（使分心的）,” said Daniel Simons, a professor of psychology at the University of Illinois．

City officials admitted the hidden problem．They are urging drivers to pull over before they use the city’s iPhone app, or to do so before they leave home. Nathaniel Ford, executive director of the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency, said safety could actually improve if drivers quickly found a spot instead of circling and getting frustrated．

San Francisco has put sensors into 7,000 parking spots and 12,250 spots in city garages．If spaces in an area open up, the sensors communicate wirelessly with computers that in turn make the information available to app users within a minute, said Mr. Ford, of the transportation agency．On the app, a map shows which blocks have lots of places(blue)and which are full(red)．

More than 12,000 people have downloaded San Francisco’s app, which is available now only for the iPhone.

1.What is the phone app mentioned in the text mainly aimed at?

A. Benefiting iPhone users.

B. Preventing traffic accidents.

C. Making the traffic flow smoothly.

D.Making full use of the parking spots.

2.According to the text, San Francisco city officials ________.

A. don’t consider the app distracting.

B. are aware of the app’s disadvantages.

C. advise drivers to park cars slowly.

D. believe more parking spots are needed.

3.The phone app mentioned in the text ________.

A. is a bit slow in reacting

B. hasn’t been put into service

C. was introduced several years ago

D. can’t be downloaded to all phones

4.What’s the main idea of the passage?

A. A phone app has been introduced to relieve the pressure on traffic in the city.

B. Safety concerns are voiced about a phone app aimed at helping drivers find parking spots.

C. Looking for parking spots contributes greatly to downtown traffic jams.

D. Drivers’ attention is distracted in one way or another when they are driving.

Soft winds blew throughout the Windy City today. We welcomed the winds, as it was another hot day in Chicago. The wind blew, bringing us some coolness and making the weather not that hot. But it was a beautiful summer day with a blue sky.

Chicago is a great city for eating, and we have enjoyed tasting the different foods. Last night, we tried one of the city's most famous foods: deep-dish pizza. Chicago claims credit for the rich and cheesy thick-crust pizza, covered with a sweet tomato sauce. We topped it with olives and green peppers.

We were touring the city, mainly looking for delicious local foods. Today, we enjoyed a Polish specialty at lunch: Pierogis, an Eastern European dumpling-like dish, filled with foods like potatoes, cheese, mushrooms, cabbage and meat. Polish immigrants started settling in Chicago in the 1850s, and the city has one of the largest Polish communities in the U.S.

We took a break from exploring the city to talk with some of you! Ashley and Caty logged onto the Internet for an on-the-road version of TALK2US. We spoke to an English teacher in Tokyo, Japan, and a graduate student in India.

Meanwhile, Adam searched for some locations around the city to shoot some video. He chose a spectacular spot: Navy Pier, Chicago's most-visited attraction. The winds from Lake Michigan keep visitors cool, and the view of the Chicago skyline never fails to impress. In fact, the view made all of us head over heels!

Our time in Chicago has come to an end. Tomorrow, the true journey begins, as we pass through Illinois and into Missouri via Route 66. Springfield, the home of Abe Lincoln, and St. Louis, the "gateway to the West," wait for us.

1.Why did the author and her companions like the soft winds?

A. It brought warmth to them.

B. It left the sky blue and beautiful.

C. It improved the quality of the air.

D. It made them feel comfortable.

2.What did the author and her companions mainly do in Chicago?

A. They enjoyed famous local foods.

B. They visited Polish communities.

C. They studied the history of the city.

D. They explored for foreign customs.

3.The author and her companions stayed online ________.

A. sharing their travel plan with strangers

B. asking for information on foreign foods

C. communicating with strangers abroad

D. learning about different cultures in the world

4.The underlined part “head over heels” in Paragraph 5 can be replaced by ________.

A. boredB. relaxedC. fascinatedD. disappointed

A controversial call was given towards the end of the baseball game. At full speed Paul Harvey slid home（本壘） and, thinking he had just ________ a game-changing run, he stood up only to face the words, “You’re ________!”Angry, he threw off his helmet and ran over to explain to the ________ why the call was wrong. Before his ________ really got out of control, someone pulled him away, and he walked to the bench—________.

Long after the coaches, players, and fans had gone home, he realized the impact of his ________. Like most of us do when we are faced with the ________ of our actions, he could have just let it go, reasoning, “Everybody ________ it.”

However, in the silence of his heart, he knew that just ________ everyone else does it, that doesn’t make it all right. And so, long after his friends had gone home, he ________ that coach back up to the school—not to ________ his car. No, the boy tracked this man down so he could tell him face to face, “I’m sorry, Sir. It was all my ________.” It takes true courage to stand up to face the ________ we all make and say, “I was wrong. I’m sorry.” What makes this ________ unique is that it wasn’t meant for the world to ________, it was meant simply as a way to stay ________ to his own heart.

The truth is at one time or another we have all been this boy — ________ out in anger, saying hurtful things, and feeling ________ for doing so. But the real test comes later when we are ________ with the choice to say “sorry” or to walk away thinking, “Ah, they’ll get over it.”

Maybe the “they” is a customer, a friend, or a child. Whoever it is, don’t pass up the opportunity to get right with your own heart. The time for apology is now! Courage is a ________ of the heart.

After Steve Jobs died，his friend Larry Ellison said something like this, “There will never be another Steve Jobs”. 1._ Larry wrote this list of Steve's life lessons to remind us all.

1. Love what you do. Sure Steve became a billionaire when he brought Apple back. Apple was his calling even after he got fired from the company. We all have bad jobs at one point in our lives. But the question is: am I in the right job? Have I found the right company? Life doesn’t go on forever. 2._

2. Don't do it all by yourself.

Steve learned a great leader can't do it all by himself. He needs people. They must be talented. 3._ They must be given the opportunity to succeed and fail. In short，we have to learn to be a great leader if we want to see our great ideas and hard work truly have an influence on the world.

3. 4._

Apple is always good at creating a new product that meets the exact needs of users. It’s empathy（共鳴） that helps Apple achieve this. Whenever the user has the first touch with a new Apple product，he says "Wow，it's just what I need". Remember, you're King in the business world if you know exactly what consumers desire.

4. Don't mess around with your health.

5._ That's the most important lesson from Steve's life. It's great to learn from him but，the fact is he should still be here if he had treated his cancer properly. Instead, Steve chose a naturopathic(自然療法) solution that wasn't effective. When he finally decided to take his doctor's original advice，it was too late.

Expensive perfumes (香水) come in tiny bottles, but many hide a whale-sized secret.

To perfect a particular smell, perfume-makers often use an ingredient that comes from sperm whales, called ambergris (龍涎香). But using ambergris, which helps a perfume last longer, is strongly opposed by many people who think it is wrong to kill whales just so we can smell sweet. Joerg Bohlmann is neither a perfumer nor a whale expert. He's a plant biologist at the University of British Columbia in Canada. But his discovery of a new plant gene (基因) might push whales out of the perfume business.

The gene comes from fir trees, found throughout North America and commonly used as Christmas trees. The trees produce a chemical that can be used in perfume in place of ambergris-but with a catch. "There's a problem that many people wouldn't consider. In the tree, the chemical is mixed with many others. That makes separation a challenge," Bohlmann says. "lt's like trying to isolate sugar from a biscuit. "

This is where science becomes useful. When Bohlmann learned that fir trees produce the ambergris-like chemical, he decided to use his gene know-how to find the instructions for how to make the ambergris-substitute.

Bohlmann found that gene and took it out of the tree cells. Then he did something that might sound strange to someone who doesn't work in genetics: Bohlmann put the gene from the tree into yeast (酵母) cells.

Yeast may sound familiar because it's used to make things like bread, wine and beer. Biologists like to work with yeast because it easily adopts new genes and changes its features and behaviour. When Bohlmann put the fir tree gene into the yeast, the yeast started making the same chemical that had been produced by the tree.

Perfumers pay big money for ambergris because it is a fixative, which means it holds a smell in place on a person's body.

"Cheap perfumes smell good in the first hour or so and then everything is gone," explains Bohlmann. "But expensive perfumes are much more stable. Their smell lasts much longer, for hours or even a day after you apply them. "

The new chemical, made from the tree genes, can be used as a fixative, too. And using yeast to make it is far cheaper than acquiring ambergris.

Bohlmann admits he never thought he'd get into the perfume business. But now, he says, producers have been calling to find out how to use his technology in new perfumes.

1. It can be inferred from the passage that if a perfume contains ambergris, .

A. its user probably supports whale hunting

B. it is probably very expensive

C. its smell will last for about an hour

D. there will be a whale symbol on the bottle

2.The underlined expression "with a catch" in Paragraph 3 means____.

A. being difficult to hold

B. being too similar

C. having a hidden problem

D. needing further testing

3. According to the passage, why are yeast cells often used in genetic research?

A. They're much cheaper to use than ambergris.

B. They can reproduce much faster than other cells.

C. They share some of the qualities of plant genes.

D. They can take on the characteristics of other genes.

4.What can we learn about Joerg Bohlmann from the passage?

A. He is opposed to whale hunting.

B. He made his discovery during Christmas.

C. He has worked in the perfume industry for many years.

D. He has previously done genetic research.
