WASHINGTON Mar 2,2005 – More people than ever are driving under the influence of their cell phones, according to a survey(调查)published Tuesday by the National Highway Traffic Administration.

  The survey showed 8 percent of drivers, or 1.2 million people, were using handheld or handsfree cell phones during daylight hours last year, a 50 percent increase since 2002 and a 100 percent rise in four years.

  All that talking is a potential safety problem, said NHTSA spokesman Rae Tyson.“While we don’t have hard proof that there’s been an increase in the number of accidents, we know that talking on the phone can affect driver performance.”he said.

  The District Columbia and New Hampshire no longer allow talking on hand-held cell phones while driving, according to the Governors Highway Safety Association.

  Some communities, such as Brookline, Mass.and Santa Fe, require handsfree cell phones, but about a half-dozen states prevent local governments from limiting cell phone use in cars.

  Young drivers, between 16 and 24, increased their talking on cell phones by 60 percent between 2002 and 2004.

  The National Transportation Safety Board said it wants all 50 states to ban those with learner’s permits from using cell phones or other wireless devices while driving.New Jersey and Maine are the only two that have passed such laws.

  The survey was carried out between June 7 and July 11,2004, at 1,200 road sites across the country and, in some areas, done by telephone.

The world’s biggest Internet search engine, Google, has proven once again to be king of the Web. Users can download “Google Wi-Fi” software and then enjoy free Wi-Fi service available in some US cities since last Tuesday.

  Wi-Fi is short for “Wireless Fidelity”(无线上网). It allows laptop computers and personal digital assistants to connect to the Internet at high speed by radio sigal.

  A person with a Wi-Fi enabled computer can connect to the Internet when near one of the network’s access points. The place covered by one or several access points is called a hotspot. Google had already set up two “hotspots” in the US city of San Francisco which provide a free Wi-Fe service.

  The Wi- Fi technology even allows users to enjoy a free Internet phone service. Some scientists argue that Wi-Fi may replace mobile phone networks.

  Wi-Fi is stioo limited to a few cities, where there are “ hotspots”. But its capability(容量) of sending information has already done better than that of the mobile phone network, even that of 3G (Third Generation telecommunication technology). Some scientists have started to call Wi-Fi 4G.

  In addition to a high speed Internet connection, Fi-Fi has other advantages compared to mobile phones. We-Fi is global. The same Wi-Fi system works in different countries around the world. Different from using cell phones, you don’t need to change computers to use Internet phones when you go to other places and most importantly, many Internet phones cost you nothing at all.

Wi-Fi is not available in cities without_____.

 A. a computer   B. a radio   C. a hotspot   D. a cell phone

Which of the following is NOT the advantage of Wi-Fi?

The high speed Internet connection.   B. Many free Internet phones.

Using the same computers for Internet phones when you go to other places. C. Used in all the US cities.

Some scientists started to call Wi-Fi 4G, because_____.

A.it is the product of the Google”s 4th generation.

B..it is more capable of sending information than the mobile phone network.

C.it has been used by more than four generations.

D.Wi-Fi will surely take the place of the mobile phone network.

. Which of the following is the best title?

A.Third Generation Telecommunication Technology

B. Free Call Service

C.Google Launches Free Wi-Fi Service

D.Free Wi-Fi Service across the U.S.A.
