Dean could hear the voices from around 40 feet below him. “Don’t give up, Dean!” Uncle Jim shouted encouragingly. “You can do it!” “You’re almost there,” Kurt called as he pulled on the   1   that ensured his cousin’s safety.

Kurt and Dean had just finished helping Uncle Jim   2   a climbing wall at a community gym in Canterville, Texas. The wall, made of concrete and crushed granite (碎石), looked just like a sandstone cliff. Despite his   3   of heights, Dean had volunteered to be the   4   to climb the new wall.

Dean heard his cousin and uncle   5   him on from below, but he didn’t reply. He was   6   the last section of the artificial rock wall to determine an approach for scaling it. He   7   he was only a few feet from the top,   8   if he failed to concentrate on what he was doing, he could fall.

Dean   9   Kurt to serve as his belayer, which is the person who controls a climber’s safety rope. While Dean   10  , Kurt took the slack (part of a rope that is not tight) out of the safety rope that was attached to the   11   of the wall. In that case, if Dean started to slip, he would fall only a few feet   12   the rope caught him. However, Dean didn’t want to fall even a few feet; he was too close to his   13  .

As Dean held on to the rock face, calculating each move with great   14  , Uncle Jim and Kurt watched intently  15  , with a burst of energy, Dean climbed over the last outcropping and shouted, “I did it!”

Uncle Jim and Kurt  16  wildly. Dean smiled broad, and then grew   17   again. Falling to the ground was the   18   part for him, and his uncle and cousin knew it.

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 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 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 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 controversial 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 capability to record speeding violations, so parents can monitor their teenage drivers.”

       The product will soon go on sale in Sydney.

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

3.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

4.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.
