[阅读材料]

The way people hold the belief that a fun-filled, pain-free lifestyle equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever obtaining real happiness. If fun and pleasure are equal to happiness,then pain must be equal to unhappiness. But in fact,the opposite is true: more often than not things that lead to happiness contain some pain.

As a result,many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true happiness.They fear the pain inevitably (不可避免地) brought by such things as marriage,raising children,professional achievement, religious commitment, self-improvement.

Ask a bachelor why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. If he is honest,he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment,for commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure and excitement.Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features.

Couples,with infant children, are lucky to get a whole night’s sleep of a three-day vacation. We don’t know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children. But couples that decide not to have children ever know the joys of watching a child grow up or playing with a grandchild.

Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations. It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can really increase our happiness. It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes to increase our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those who always have so much fun actually may not be happy at all.

 

1.2 million road deaths worldwide occur each year, plus a further 50 million injuries. To reduce car crash rate, much research now is focused on safety and new fuels一though some electric vehicle and biofuel research aims at going faster.

Traveling at speed has always been risky. One cutting edge area of research in motoring safety is the use of digital in-car assistants. They can ensure you don't miss key road signs or fall asleep. The use of artificial intelligence software allows these assistants to monitor your driving and makes sure your phone or radio doesn't distract you at a vital moment. Most crashes result from human and not mechanical faults.

Some safety developments aim to improve your vision. Radar can spot obstacles in fog, while other technology "sees through" high-sided vehicles blocking your view.

And improvements to seat belts, pedal controls and tyres are making driving smoother and safer. The color of a car has been found to be linked with safety, as have, less surprisingly, size and shape.

And alternatives to fossil-fuel based petrol, such as plant oils, are a hot area of research. Fuel cells based on hydrogen burn cleanly, and are the subject of a serious research effort.

But whatever is in the fuel tank,you don't want a thief in the driving seat and there have been many innovations(革新),some using satellite tracking and remote communications, to fight against car theft. These communication systems can also come into play if you crash, automatically calling for help.

Accidents cause many traffic jams, but there are slighter interplays(相互作用)between vehicles that can cause jams even on a clear but busy road, such jams can be analyzed using statistical tools. Robotic drivers could be programmed to make traffic flow smoothly and will perhaps one day be everyone's personal tool, but their latest efforts suggest that won't be soon.

64.What can we infer from paragraph One?

A. Fully automatic cars will reduce car crash rate.

B .Safety research has been paid much attention to.

C. Faster electric vehicles should be produced more.

D. Road accidents increase to a shocking rate in China.

65. What has been researched to improve the safety of a car according to the passage?

A. Some developments in seat belts, pedal controls and tyres.

B .A digital camera that can help drivers to see obstacles in fog.

C .Satellite tracking that can help drivers to improve their vision.

D. Artificial intelligence that help drivers to see through big vehicles.

66. What is the most important purpose of innovations that use satellite tracking and remote communications?

A. To call for help when one's car crashes.

B .To track the car down when it is being stolen.

C .To prevent car thieves from getting into your car.

D. To call for help when the car gets jammed in the traffic.

67. What is the passage mainly about?

A. The improvements inside cars help to protect drivers.

B.The use of artificial intelligence can reduce car crash rate 

C. The serious fact of road accidents needs the concern of everyone.

D .Different technology has been researched to avoid car troubles.
