　　John Russell, 83, got on a Chicago bus and saw a sign saying that senior citizens could ride for half fare. When he dropped his three quarters in the box, the driver demanded identification. John took out an ID card. “You need a special CTA card,” said the driver. John did not have the Chicago Transit Authority card because he lives in New York and was in Chicago visiting his two sons.

　　“Put in another three quarters,” said the driver, “or get off the bus.”

　　One privilege of old age is being stubborn (固執(zhí)). John said, “Give me back my quarters, and I'll get off.”

　　“I can't it's in the box. If you don't get off, I'll call the police,” said he, which he did. Two police cars pulled up.

　　“I'm the criminal,” said John Russell. Then he and the driver told their stories.

　　“That's what you called me for?” one policeman asked the driver. Another policeman then said to John, “I'll give you three quarters.”

　　John shook his head, “Why should you give me the quarters? He has to give me my quarters.”

　　“Where are you going?” asked the policemen.

　　“Downtown to have lunch with friends,” John said.

　　“Come on,” the policemen said. “We'll get you your card.” So they took him downtown to the CTA office. But the people there wouldn't give him a CTA card he needed a picture.

　　“What about his quarters?" one policeman asked. The officials discussed, and the decision was made to give John's quarters back.

　　When John got downstairs, the policemen asked where he was going.

　　“To see my friends," John said.

　　“How are you going to get there?”

　　“On the bus. And all I'm going to pay is 75 cents.”

　　“Good luck,” the policemen said.

　　John got on a bus, dropped three quarters in the box, and said, “I'm a senior citizen…” The driver looked at John and nodded. He didn't know how lucky he was to be a sensible man.

科目：高中英語 來源： 題型：閱讀理解

Speeding off in a stolen car, the thief thinks he has got a great catch. But he is in for an unwelcome surprise. The car is fitted with a remote immobilizer（鎖止器）, and a radio signal from a control centre miles away will ensure that once the thief switches the engine off, he will not be able to start it again.

　　The idea goes like this. A control box fitted to the car contains a mini-cellphone, a micro- processor and memory, and a GPS （全球定位系統(tǒng)） satellite positioning receiver. If the car is stolen, a coded cellphone signal will tell the control centre to block the vehicle's engine management system and prevent the engine being restarted．

　　In the UK, a set of technical fixes is already making life harder for car thieves. “The pattern of vehicle crime has changed,” says Martyn Randall, a security expert. He says it would only take him a few minutes to teach a person how to steal a car, using a bare minimum of tools. But only if the car is more than 10 years old.

　　Modern cars are far tougher to steal, as their engine management computer won't allow them to start unless they receive a unique ID code beamed out by the ignition （點火） key. In the UK, technologies like this have helped achieve a 31% drop in vehicle-related crime since 1997.

　　But determined criminals are still managing to find other ways to steal cars, often by getting hold of the owner's keys. And key theft is responsible for 40% of the thefts of vehicles fitted with a tracking system.

　　If the car travels 100 metres without the driver confirming their ID, the system will send a signal to an operations centre that it has been stolen. The hundred metres minimum avoids false alarms due to inaccuracies in the GPS signal.

　　Staff at the centre will then contact the owner to confirm that the car really is missing, and keep police informed of the vehicle's movements via the car's GPS unit.

1. The remote immobilizer is fitted to a car to ______.

A．prevent car theft by sending a radio signal to the car owner

B．help the police make a surprise attack on the car thief

C．prevent the car thief from restarting it once it stops

D．a(chǎn)llow the car to lock automatically when stolen

2. By saying “The pattern of vehicle crime has changed”, Martyn Randall suggests that ______.

A．it takes a longer time for the car thief to do the stealing

B．self-prepared tools are no longer enough for car theft

C．the thief has to make use of computer technology

D．the thief has lost interest in stealing cars over 10 years old

3. _______ is essential in making a modern car tougher to steal.

A．A coded ignition key                  B．A unique ID card

C．A special cellphone signal        D．A GPS satellite positioning receiver

4. Why does the tracking system set a 100-metre minimum before sending an alarm to the operations centre?

A．To leave time for the operations centre to give an alarm.

B．To give the driver time to contact the operations centre.

C．To keep police informed of the car's movements.

　　D．To allow for possible errors in the GPS system.

5. The operations centre will first ______ after receiving an alarm.

A．start the tracking system.                     B．contact the car owner.

C．block the car engine.                            D．locate the missing car.
