A man and his family were in Europe. Once they needed to drive 3 days   36, day and night, to get to Germany. His little daughter had never  37 at night without a break before. She was  38  the first night in the car, with terrible deep darkness outside.
“Where are we going, Daddy?” asked the daughter. “To your uncle’s house in Germany.” Father answered.
“Have you been to his    39  before?” “No.”
“Then, do you know the   40 ?” “Maybe, we can read the map.”
Short pause. “Do you know how to read the map?” “Yes, we will get there  41    . Don’t worry.”
The same dialogue  42  a few times within the first night, and also the second night.   43  on the third night, his daughter was quiet. Father thought that she might have fallen   44 , but when he looked into the mirror, he saw that she was awake and was just   45 calmly. He couldn’t help wondering   46 she was not asking the questions anymore.
“Dear, do you know where we are going?” “Germany, uncle’s house.”
“ Do you know how we are getting there?” “No.”
“ Then why aren’t you asking anymore?” “Because Daddy is   47 .”
Because Daddy is driving. This answer from a 3 years old girl has then become the   48  and help this man for many years whenever he has questions and
  49 on his journey. We may  50 the destination and sometimes we may just know it  51 the little girl-“Germany”, without understanding where or what it  52 is. We do not know the way. We do not know how to read the map. We do not know if we can find   53 along the way to eat in. But the little girl knows the most  54 thing-Daddy is driving-and so she is safe and secure. She knows that her Daddy will 55  all that she needs.

Drink drivers could be prohibited from driving under the influence if new technology from Nissan is introduced.
The Japanese car maker has developed a new odor (气味) detection system designed to prevent drivers from operating a car if they are over the legal limit. The system works by using a series of sensors (传感器) to detect the level of alcohol the driver has consumed.
A high-sensitivity alcohol odor sensor is built into the gear stick (变速杆), which is able to detect the presence of the driver’s palm as he or she attempts to start driving. If the alcohol level detected is above a pre-determined limit, the system automatically locks the transmission(变速器), immobilizing the car. A voice alert is also issued via the car navigation system telling the driver that he or she is over the limit.
Extra sensors are also placed in the driver and passenger seats and a warning is issued if these sensors detect the presence of alcohol in the air inside the vehicle cabin.
While still in the developmental stage the concept of drink driving detectors being built into cars has generally been welcomed by many drivers.
Nissan said the technology is part of a project aimed at halving the number of fatalities (灾祸) and serious injuries in Nissan cars by 2015 compared to 2005 levels.
【小题1】The detection system works _______________.

A.by detecting the smell of alcohol in the vehicle cabin
B.by measuring the volume of the alcohol in vehicle cabin
C.by detecting the weight of the school in the vehicle cabin
D.by using a car navigation system
【小题2】What do we know about the detection system?
A.The detection system is still in the developmental stage.
B.The new technology from Nissan has been introduced.
C.The driving detectors are being built into cars.
D.The system has already been used in some car companies.
【小题3】The driver’s attitude toward the detection system is that of _______________.
A.annoyanceB.welcomeC.unconcernD.doubt
【小题4】What’s the main idea of the passage?
A.Nissan will release drink-proof cars.
B.Traffic accidents will be decreased.
C.A project halving the number of accidents.
D.A new odor detection system.
