Your glasses may someday replace your smartphone, and some New Yorkers are ready for the switch. Some in the city can't wait to try them on and use the maps and GPS that the futuristic eyewear is likely to include.

" I'd use it if I were hanging out with friends at 3 a. m. and going to the bar and wanted to see what was open," said Walter Choo, 40, of Fort Greene.

The smartphone-like glasses will likely come out this year and cost between $250 and $600, the Times said, possibly including a variation of augmented(增强的) reality, a technology already available on smartphones and tablets (平板电脑) that overlays information onto the screen about one's surroundings. So, for example, if you were walking down a street, indicators would pop up showing you the nearest coffee shop or directions could be plotted out and come into view right on the sidewalk in front of you.

" As far as a mainstream consumer product, this just isn't something anybody needs," said Sam Biddle, who writes for Gizmodo.com. " We're accustomed to having one thing in our pocket to do all these things," he added, "and the average consumer isn't gonna be able to afford another device (装置) that's hundreds and hundreds of dollars. "

9to5Google publisher Seth Weintraub, who has been reporting on the smartphone-like glasses since late last year, said he is confident that this type of wearable device will eventually be as common as smartphones.

"It's just like smartphones 10 years ago," Weintraub said. "A few people started getting emails on their phones, and people thought that was crazy. Same kind of thing. We see people bending their heads to look at their smartphones, and it's unnatural," he said. " There's gonna be improvements to that, and this a step there. "

60. One of the possible functions of the smartphone-like glasses is to ____.

A.    program the opening hours of a bar

B.    supply you with a picture of the future

C.    provide information about your surroundings

D.    update the maps and GPS in your smartphones

61.   The underlined phrase "pop up" in the third paragraph probably means " ____".

A. develop rapidly       B. get round quickly

C. appear immediately    D. go over automatically

62.   According to Sam Biddle, the smartphone-like glasses are ____.

A. necessary for teenagers    B. attractive to New Yorkers

C. available to people worldwide   D. expensive for average consumers

63.   We can learn from the last two paragraphs that the smartphone-like glasses ____.

A. may have a potential market     B. are as common as smartphones

C. are popular among young adults       D. will be improved by a new technology

  Hundreds of new drivers taken to the road and traffic accidents can be seen easily in many cities every day.According to a report from the authority, more than 80% of the traffic accidents were caused by new drivers last year.Another shocking report from some Traffic Departments in Hangzhou says: more than half of the traffic accidents and deaths in the area for the first ten months of last year involved new drivers.

  So how to avoid the accident?For almost all new drivers, they would try a way of using signs in their car windows like “I’m new”, “New on the road, pay attention” or “Don’t kiss me, I’m shy” so that they could get much sympathy(同情)from other drivers.But since a new rule on driver safety took effect in Shenzhen on March 30, 2004, new drivers in Shenzhen can’t do that any longer.Although the signs are cute, they could get you a 100-yuan fine(罚款).So new drivers in Shenzhen find themselves under more pressure now for the new rules.

  Why are signs not allowed to be used by new drivers?One of the reasons is that some experienced drivers think those funny or “creative” signs sometimes attract their attention.When they are out of mind, traffic accidents will happen and some think the signs can block(遮挡)the drivers’ view so they can’t see the road clearly.However, most new drivers point that driving at a high speed is the main reason for traffic accident.

  Even though they have the license, the new drivers haven’t improved much and got enough experience.So I think it’s not such a bad thing to put those signs up.On the contrary, both experienced drivers and new drivers may benefit(受益).For experienced drivers they’re a warning; for new drivers they’re a kind of safety screen.

  Examples that show new drivers involve more traffic accidents than experienced drivers:

Example 1.(1)________

Example 2.In Hangzhou, more than half of them for the first ten months of last year were caused by new drivers.

What do most new drivers do to avoid the accident?

(2)________

Experienced driver’s opinions about that:

First: The signs attract their attention.

Second:(3)________

Then a new rule took effect in Shenzhen.Signs are not allowed to be used by new drivers.

However, what is the author’s opinion?

(4)He thinks ________
