 You’re on the third lap around the car park,because there are no open spaces,and you’re already 15 minutes late for your appointment. Right now you’re wishing you could jump out of the car and let it go and find its own spot.

  Now there’s an app for that. Virtual Valet lets your;iPhone tell your car to park without you in it. “You pull up to the roadside,push a button on your smartphone and the car takes care of everything else,w says Aeron Steinfeld,the lead researcher for the project at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh,Pennsylvania.

  To find its own spot,the system uses a sensor suite similar to ones found in many luxury cars. This includes a motion sensor that scans for moving cars and pedestrians,and a forward-facing laser rangefinder normally found in adaptive cruise control to determine the distance of objects in front of the car. Information from these sensors is then fed to an onboard computer to plot the vehicle’s course. The user can watch the whole process from their phone.

  Better still,it will be affordable. The team has spent the last year moving from high-end imaging and processing equipment to less expensive components. In experiments,the vehicle was able to navigate through a crowded parking structure,find an empty spot,and park all on its own. And the greatest appeal of the Virtual Valet Parking App is that it requires no change to existing parking facilities or infrastructure.

  For the moment,the only car equipped for control by Virtual Valet is Carnegie Mellon’s modified (改进) Jeep Wranger,which the researchers have named NavLabll. But Steinfeld hopes that major car manufacturers will adopt the technology.

  It might be more than technology that holds up the show,however. Self-driving cars have been licensed in only three US states—California,Nevada and Florida—and it’s unclear how this app would agree with self-driving laws. Until these questions are settled,your insurance provider might be unwilling to cover a ding (凹痕) from a parking incident.

(   ) 5. It can be learned from the first two paragraphs that      

   A. parking lots are too crowded

   B. parking spaces are too limited

   C. your car can park automatically via a smartphone app

   D. you can leave your car alone if you can’t find a parking spot

(   ) 6. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3?

   A. How to determine the distance of objects.

   B. How the Virtual Valet App works.

   C. How to use the System.

   D. How to analyze the information about the vehicle’s course.

(   ) 7. The underlined word “plot” in Paragraph 3 probably means “     ”

   A. draw   B. circle

   C. change   D. follow

  I received a call today asking if I would be willing to bring food to a family in need. The mother was having a major operation and would be lying down for several weeks. Of course,I responded with an immediate “Yes”. As I planned the meal in my head,I reflected on how many times over the years I had been asked to prepare food. I have done so countless times with a very open heart.

  But the truly amazing thing is that I have received double over the course of my life. When my mother passed away,our house was filled with fresh dinners for weeks. A woman from the church of our community stopped by each evening with some food. The gift of food was her small way of trying to ease our pain.

  Later in my life,when I was on bed rest during my pregnancy with twins,women of the church again stepped in to help. They arranged babysitting for my two-year-old daughter,and brought lovely dinners to our house. Even when I was put in the hospital,my husband would bring cooked meals to my hospital room. How we relied on these dinners to feed my tired husband and young daughter!

  Food is all about comfort. It feeds our bodies,but it can also feed our souls. When you hear people talking about their favourite holidays,it usually includes their feelings connected with sharing food. I know that I will have many more opportunities in my lifetime to prepare food for others. It is truly a gift I want to prepare and deliver to someone in need.

   A. had to stay in bed for several weeks

   D. was tired of preparing food

   A. Her mother died when she was in hospital.

   B. She didn’t get enough food during her pregnancy.

   C. She received food as well as comfort in her hard times.

   D. She thinks offering food is the best way to show love.
