Imagine the situation．You are driving along a desert or on a mountain．You have no idea where you are．You passed the last house two hours ago．Then your car breaks down．It is night and it is cold．You have no mobile phone．What do you do？Well，next time take a GPS with you．This invention may be able to help you．It is a device which uses satellites to find the user's position．It can find your position to within 20metres．A GPS cannot start your car，but at least you will know where you are．
GPS，which means Global Positioning System，is a small radio receiver．It looks like a mobile phone．You can hold it in your hand，or put in your pocket．It is sometimes put into a watch or a telephone．We also find GPS devices in cars，planes，or boats．Some of these devices have electronic maps，so you know where you are．For example，in a city they can tell you the name of the street．
There are three parts to the Global Positioning System．The first part is the receiver．You can hold it in your hand，or have it fixed into your car，plane，etc．The second part is a group of satellites orbiting the Earth．The receiver contacts at least four of the satellites and calculates  its position．The third part of the system is a network of ground stations．They are all over the world．They control the satellites and make sure they are working well．
Some people think that in the future the GPS will be as common as the mobile．They are becoming cheaper and more and more accurate．There are also new uses for the GPS．Perhaps they will become like watches． Everyone will have one and you will never be lost again．

20．The winner of the 2015 Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences studies personal consumption（消费）．He also has explored how spending can affect both living conditions and poverty．
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences is presenting the Economics Prize to Professor Angus Deaton of Princeton University in New Jersey．The Nobel committee says his research has mainly dealt with three questions：How do consumers distribute their spending among different goods？How much of society's wealth is spent and how much is saved？And，how do we best measure and study wellbeing and poverty？
Mr．Deaton used household surveys to collect detailed information about how families spend their money．For example，in one study，the Princeton professor examined the relationship between poverty and the amount of calories in the food people ate．
The Nobel committee said Mr．Deaton's research has shown how the clever use of household data can shed light on issues such as the relationship between income and calorie intake，and the degree of sexual discrimination（歧视）with the family．
The Princeton professor was asked why he paid so much attention to household information．Mr．Deaton said that his studies were mainly about people and their behavior．
The Nobel committee also，praised Mr．Deaton's work because it used detailed information about real people，not theoretical ideas．Subjects of his research have included happiness，well-being and aging．
At a press conference this week，the Nobel Prize winner said he was pleased that his work had been recognized．He told reporters he believed poverty would decrease．"I think we've had a remarkable decrease for the past 20 to 30 years．I do expect that to continue，"he said．

In East Africa，the sport of cycling has been growing in popularity in recent years．There are plenty of hills for cyclists to climb and a mild climate-not too hot，but not too cold．In addition，two-time Tour de France winner Chris Froome was born in Kenya．
Now an area 50 kilometers southeast of Nairobi is seeking to become Kenya's center for cycling．But with hills in Kenya rising as high as 1，600 meters above sea level，cycling the countryside is anything but effortless．That makes Machakos County，Kenya，a good place to test the abilities of East African cyclists during the Tour de Machakos．

Uganda's-national cycling coach．Jesper Fiedler，says this is one reason why Kenya's and East Africa's cycling community has continued to grow over the years．He said，"Mainly because of the sports events on TV．"More people can watch these races on TV，and then the more people who are riding around in different towns around East Africa，the exposure's just bigger．So people，they see and they say，"Maybe we should pick up this sport．"
Alex Tibwitta organized the Tour de Machakos．He says Machakos has it all-nice hills，good roads and a government that supports the cycling community．"I'm pretty confident that with the right promotion，this is definitely the best place to base a sort of cycling in Kenya，and probably in East Africa，"he said．
The Tour de Machakos covers 400 kilometers around Machakos County．It is the biggest road race in Kenya．This year there were 130 registered cyclists-double the number from last year．
