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.”

1.What is the purpose of the Drivel AB?

A.To explore newmeans of transport.

B.To design new types of cars.

C.To find out older driver`s problems.

D.To teach people traffic rules.

2.Why is driving important for older people according to Phil Blythe?

A.It keeps them independent.

B.It helps them save time.

C.It builds up their strength.

D.It cures their mental illnesses.

3.What do researchers hope to do for older drivers?

A.Improve their driving skills.

B.Develop driver-assist technologles.

C.Provide tips on repairing their cars.

D.Organize regular physical checkups.

4.What is the best title for the text?

A.A new Model Electric Car

B.A Solution to Traffic Problem

C.Driving Service for elders

D.Keeping Older Drivers on the Road

Call people instead of sending instant messages or texts.

It is 7 am and the alarm is going off. You know you have to be out of bed to catch the bus. But the urge to bury yourself in the bed is ever so strong. Sounds familiar? Why is it that teens find it difficult to get themselves out of bed in time every morning or stay sharp and focused during the first couple of hours of school?

During adolescence, the body goes through many changes and these include a shift in sleep patterns. Researchers from MIT have been tracking the body’s need for sleep in teenagers. They found that though adolescents need as much as 9.5 hours of sleep a day, they get to bed later and later with each passing year. In fact, the sleep cycle shifts later by as much as 12 to 18 minutes each year between the ages of 10 and 20! So by the time a 10?year?old who sleeps at 8 pm grows to be 17 or 18, his body naturally wants to stay up till 10：30 pm or 11 pm.

According to researchers, this is because of a hormone called melatonin (褪黑激素) that is secreted (分泌) by the pineal gland — a tiny structure deep inside the brain. Melatonin regulates the body’s natural day?night rhythms. It causes a person to become sleepy by lowering his body’s core temperature. In teens, melatonin is secreted much later in the evening and continues to increase throughout the night. This makes it difficult for teens to fall asleep earlier as they did in their younger years. Likewise, the effect of melatonin continues until much later in the morning, making it hard for them to wake up early.

A study found that at least one in four teens is tired and falls asleep in school at least once a week. During sleep, important body functions and brain activities happen. So how can teenagers get their sleep enough? The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that middle and high schools should start later — not before 8：30 am. This should give teens some more time to sleep at night.

1.From Paragraph 2, we can learn that if you sleep late, the next day you should ________.

A. stay sharp B. skip breakfast

C. get up late D. stay up late

2.What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A. The students want to stay up.

B. The shifts of the sleep cycle.

C. The pineal gland secretes melatonin.

D. The adolescents sleep late.

3.The teens go to sleep later than before because ________.

A. melatonin is secreted much later

B. melatonin regulates the sleep time

C. they sleep a lot in the daytime

D. they need to finish their homework

4.According to AAP’s recommendation, middle and high schools should ________.

A. let teens sleep in the day B. let the students be active

C. delay the start time D. start later at 8 am
