A device that stops drivers from falling asleep at the wheel is about to undergo testing at Department of Transport laboratories and could go on sale within 12 months．

The system，called driver Alert，aims to reduce deadly road accidents by 20%—40% that are caused by tiredness．Airline pilots can also use it to reduce the 30% of all pilot error accidents that are related to fatigue．

Driver Alert is based on a computerized wristband．The device，worn by drivers or pilots gives out a sound about every four minutes during a car journey．After each sound the driver must respond by squeezing the steering wheel(方向盤(pán))．A sensor in the wristband detects this pressing action and measures the time between the sound and the driver’s response．

Tiredness is directly related to a driver’s response time．Usually，a watchful driver would take about 400 milliseconds to respond，but once that falls to more than 500 milliseconds，it suggests that the driver is getting sleepy．

In such cases the device gives out more regular and louder sounds，showing that the driver should open a window or stop for a rest．If the driver’s response continues to slow down，the sounds become more frequent until a nonstop alarm warms that the driver must stop as soon as possible．

The device has been delivered to the department’s laboratories for testing．If these tests，scheduled for six months’ time，are successful，the markers will bring the product to market within about a year．

A．a(chǎn)ims to reduce tiredness related accidents

B．has gone through testing at laboratories

C．a(chǎn)ims to prevent drivers from sleeping

D．has been on sale for 12 months

2.How should a driver respond to the sounds from Driver Alert？

A．By sounding a warning

B．By touching the wristband

C．By checking the driving time

D．By pressing the steering wheel

3.We can learn from the text that the driver needs to stop for a break when his response time is ______．

A．About 400 milliseconds

B．below 500 milliseconds

C．over 500 milliseconds

D．a(chǎn)bout 400 minutes

4.When the driver gets sleepy while driving，Driver Alert ______．

Edmonton's Downtown Park is transformed into one huge stage for five days where artists are able to share their talents, and where people are able to celebrate and enjoy themselves. Since its beginning in 1980, the Edmonton Folk Music Festival has been commemorating (紀(jì)念）the true feeling of what folk music is all about and that’s the traditional togetherness (友愛(ài)）that is felt when people gather to share stories and feelings through song.

This year will be the sixth year when volunteer Riedel will be offering up her time to the festival. “People coming off a busy spring and summer have a moment of relaxation,” Riedel said. “It’s really easy to relax, and it’s great seeing family and friends have fun together.” These families and friends come from all different kinds of musical tastes. People who take pleasure in Blues are there, so are people who love Bluegrass. This festival does its best to develop everyone's musical interests.

With so many years of experience, the festival has become a well-oiled machine, and does whatever it can to make attendees feel as comfortable as possible. There are free water stations throughout the venue (舉辦地）for people to fill up their travel cups. When people buy food, reusable dishes are given a $2 plate fee, but that is returned when the plate is brought back.

The festival has completely sold out of tickets, and in record time. But with big names such as Van Morrison and Jakob Dylan, it’s easy to see how that was going to happen. There is no parking area during the festival, so using the Park & Ride system or Edmonton Transit is highly recommended. A bike lock-up area is provided and will be available Thursday until Sunday one hour before the gates open until 45 minutes after the gates close.

The Edmonton Folk Music Festival begins on Wednesday, Aug.4 with Van Morrison playing the special donation fund concert, and will finish up on Sunday, Aug.8.

When you walk into a room on the 17th floor of Copenhagen’s Bella Sky Hotel, you’ll be greeted by soft roses and other fresh flowers, fruits, fashion magazines, and a bathroom with beauty products. This is Europe’s first hotel floor dedicated（專用的）entirely to women—and according to the hotel’s CEO Arne Bang Mikkelsen, it is designed by women, for women.

“Women’s hotel preferences（偏愛(ài)）are very different from men’s with key priorities（優(yōu)先考慮的事）being to feel safe and comfortable. When men come into a hotel room, the first thing they do is check the view, turn on the TV, plug in their computer, and check out the fridge. Women, on the other hand, go straight to the bathroom. Does it smell nice? Is it clean? Does it have a nice bathtub and shower?”

Unlike other hotels, it seemed like someone actually thought about what women wanted. To get it right, the hotel asked a number of women what they wanted, and added to their list of things like cleanliness, a nice bathroom, high-powered hairdryers, steam irons, cosmetic mirrors, healthy choices on the room service menus, and full-body mirrors.

It seems that they are helped by the boom（繁榮）in female business travelers. Global numbers are hard to get, but a research report shows women account for about half of all business travelers in the US in 2010, up from approximately 25% in 1991.

Places like the Naumi Hotel in Singapore, the Premier Hotel in New York, the London Dukes Hotel and the Georgian Court Hotel in Vancouver seem to be realizing the possibility in catering（迎合）for women.

At the London Dukes Hotel, the manager says bookings（預(yù)訂）for their “Duchess Rooms”，which are standard rooms with fresh flowers, fruit, and styling things, have increased 25% over the past year.

1.We can learn from the text that Bella Sky Hotel _______.

A. is the first hotel designed for women

B. offers special service to women guests

C. has a big garden with all kinds of flowers

D. can arrange rooms according to guests’ wishes

57. Paragraph 2 mainly wants to tell us _______.

A. men are wiser in choosing hotels

B. guests usually care about fort most

C. women differ from men in judging a hotel

D. hotels have difficulty satisfying each guest

2.What can we learn from the text?

A. Men guests usually don’t care about hotels’ cleanliness.

B. Living in a hotel, women guests may consider their safety.

C. Women business travelers spend more than men in hotels.

D. In the US the number of women travelers is higher than men.

3.The example of the London Dukes Hotel is used to show ________.

A. London is known for hotel management

B. guests like to experience different hotels

C. the new hotel service is very popular

D. hotel industry is developing rapidly
