The other day, I told Connie that I'd rather take the bus to work than ride in my comfortable limousine, because of the high cost of gasoline. But today, I discovered how wrong I was.

When I got into my limousine this morning, my driver told me that the motor didn’t sound like it was running well.

“Look,” I said, “I have an important meeting at 9:00. I have to be on time!”

We drove about three blocks—then the motor died.

“Sorry, Mr. Foster. I thought this might happen. But look! There’s the downtown bus. Maybe you should take it. So you don’t miss your meeting.”

“Well, I…I…Oh! I suppose I have to.”

I got on the bus and gave the driver my money.

“Mister, are you serious? We can’t make change for a $100 bill!”

“I AM CHARLES K. FOSTER. AND I ORDER THAT YOU SHOULD MAKE CHANGE!”

“Mister,” said the driver, “I don’t care who you are. You will have to get off the bus.”

Well. I was so mad when I got off that bus that I didn’t watch where I was going, and I was almost hit by a car! So now, all I have to say is this: My business may be killing me, but riding the bus certainly will.

1.The word “limousine” in Paragraph 1 most probably means a ______.

5.What can we guess from the last paragraph?

Is your TV connected to the Internet? What about your chair,or your fridge? Probably they are not. But in the future, most things in your home may be connected, thanks to the so-called “Internet of things”.

The Internet of things may be coming sooner than you think. Earlier this year, A Samsung CEO spent a lot of time talking about the Internet things. He said that five years from now,every Samsung product will be part of the Internet of things,no matter whether it’s a remote control or a washing machine.

So, how do household(家用的) objects that are part of the Internet of things work? Well,think of a common chair. When connected to the Internet, the chair warms up when it knows the user has just walked into the room and is feeling cold.

An Internet-connected camera could help people feel safer in their homes. It can know people’s faces and has an infrared sensor(红外传感器),so even if it’s dark it can see when someone passes by and send you a message on your smartphone to let you know who’s there. If the person is someone you don’t know,it can tell you that ,too.

But according to MIT Technology Roview, whether companies are connecting dog food bowls or security systems to the Internet, there may be some problems. For example, many early connected-home objects don’t have much built-in security, which means they could be hacked(被黑客攻击). Morever, it could be difficult to get these new machines to work together especially when they are made by different companies. To fight this ,many companies have joined the Open Interconnect Consortium, which had 45 menbers by late 2014.

So, picture this: you enter your home.The temperature changes to make you feel comfortable. Your favorite music starts playing for you. Do you think that this would be a good thing? I t may happen sooner than you think.
