　　The old advertising slogan, “So simple a child can do it”, has taken on new meaning for me. A few weeks ago I got a computer, but I am mechanically illiterate(文盲) . I knew that children had no fear of the future, so that seemed a good place to seek help. I asked my nephew, twelve years old, at an elementary school, to help me.

　　My nephew took the machine for granted and has simply accepted the fact that computers are now a way of life. He plays with them and does his homework on them and even creates programs for them. I, on the other hand, am terrified by what this equipment can do. It can interchange paragraphs, switch words around and even correct my spelling. It informs me of its limitations, takes commands and asks questions. It even seems to have a sense of communication. Rather than accusing me of making an error, it prints “One of us has made a mistake! ”It never gets tired and is always patient and ready to go when I am.

　　I think it was somewhat normal for me to be suspicious of computers .They represent a break with some very familiar habits and traditions . It is only human to instinctively (本能地) avoid anything that shifts thoroughly from the acceptable, comfortable past. But the world is governed by ceaseless change and we must therefore establish links with the present and future as well as the peat. Computer technology is an excellent case in point, as the newest systems grow out of date in only a few years, or even months.

　　This ability to see, experience and accept the new is one of our saving characteristics (特征) . To be fearful of tomorrow, to close ourselves to possibilities, to resist the inevitable, to advocate (倡导) standing still when all else are moving forward, is to lose touch. If we accept the new with joy and wonder, we can move gracefully into each tomorrow. More often than not, our children shall lead us.

One day in September we were doing repair work on my parents’ old house to get it ready for my youngest daughter’s wedding. We had to 36 a great climbing plant that had grown 37 a roof beam（房梁），so that we could repair the roof and 38 the walls.

When my husband was taking the plant away, he found a 39 of a blackbird that had made its home in the leaves. He then 40 something 41 among that mass of earth and straw of the nest. He broke the earth around it into pieces with his finger tips and, to his 42 ,saw glittering gold. It was a child’s bracelet（手镯）. He ran into the house to 43 me.

“You won’t believe that the 44 blackbirds not only steal the best fruit we 45 to feed on,” he said,“but they also want their children to 46 in a cradle（摇摆）of gold!”

An Australian company, Smart Car Technologies, has developed a system that lets drivers know when they’re speeding．When the technology becomes commercially available, it could help lead-footed drivers avoid tickets and also save lives．The company that developed the product hopes to convince Australian government agencies to put the technology into use in their automobile fleets.

The product, called Speed Alert, links real-time location data and speed obtained with the help of GPS(全球定位系统) to a database of posted speed limits stored in a driver’s PDA or programmable mobile phone．The setup of the product does not need to be hooked(钩住) up to a car’s speedometer．In fact, it is entirely portable．It will also work with newer phones and PDAs that have built-in GPS receivers．If a driver exceeds（超过） the speed limit, the speed is shown and an alert sounds.

Michael Paine, an Australian vehicle design engineer and traffic safety consultant, was hired to analyze the product．He told Live Science that his colleagues in the road safety field are “very enthusiastic” about what they’re now calling “intelligent speed alert.” Other research, according to Paine, shows that 40 percent of all traffic deaths involve speeding．There is also a potentially future use: “Since the system is so portable, it would be easy to make it a requirement for teenage drivers to always use a speed alert device when driving,” Paine said．“The system even has the function to record speeding violations(违背), so parents can monitor their teenage drivers.”

The product will soon go on sale in Sydney.

41．What’s the purpose of the new product_______.

A．To inform us of the new car system. B．To introduce some improvement in cars.

C．To limit certain drivers to safe driving. D．To popularize the built-in car system.

A．who drive too carelessly B．that drive extremely fast

C．who are partly disabled D．that drive too slowly

43．The second paragraph mainly talks about .

A．the project of the built-in product B．why the system becomes popular

C．the functions of GPS in cars D．how the product is programmed

44．Which of the following is true of Speed Alert according to Michael Paine?

A．Most of the traffic deaths can be avoided.

B．Speeding violations can be easily found out.

C．The system will excite some teenage drivers.

D．The product will not be available for adults.
