While weather forecasters can make fairly accurate predictions, there's always the risk you'll be

caught out while driving in the rain. But the days of having to quickly close your sunroof could soon be a thing of the

past thanks to Jaguar Land Rovefs latest firm is developing cars that can adapt automatically by closing

windows and roofs or starting the heater if they detect bad weather is on the way. The weather forecasting system uses a

set of air pressure, humidityand light sensorsto help its vehicles predict changes in conditions and adapt

（湿度）（传感器）

to them. Cars equipped with the system could make slight changes to the air conditioning if it finds the weather is

getting warmer during a journey or increase the cabin temperature if it will get colder.

The forecast may indicate there is a possibility of one or more weather conditions, such as rain, within a period of

time, such as five minutes. The vehicle may then adapt to the local weather conditions. In particular, it may close one or

more windows, or close a roof of the vehicle in response to a forecast being a sign of rain. Similarly windows could be

darkened using electrochromic (

电致变色的

) glass to improve visibility if bright sunshine is forecast.

Although its unclear whether this technology will make its way to a production vehicle anytime soon, such a system

would be advantageous on autonomous vehicles. Since there's no human driver present, the system will allow the vehicle

to make it comfortable for its passengers, based on current weather conditions. It can also make the vehicle safer if it

knows rain or snow is coming.

1

、

How will Jaguar Land Rovefs latest technology benefit drivers?

A

．

Vehicles can automatically drive themselves.

B

．

Vehicles can find positions and routes themselves,

C

．

Vehicles can act as mobile weather forecasting stations.

D

．

Vehicles can open windows and sunroofs automatically.

2

、

What is the feature of the glass of a vehicle with the new technology?

A

．

It can help adjust the temperature.

B

．

It can still be clear in rainy days.

C

．

It is too strong to break into pieces.

D

．

Its colour can change with the sunshine.

3

、

What can we know about the weather forecasting system from the text?

A

．

It is intellige nt enough to stop raining.

B

．

It makes the driver more comfortable.

C

．

It can't predict the weather accurately.

D

．

It makes autonomous cars safer in bad weather.

4

Jobs quickly became bored with college. He liked being at Reed, just not taking the required

classes. In fact, he was surprised when he found out that there were strict course requirements. When

Wozniak came to visit, Jobs waved his schedule at him and complained, “They are making me take all

these courses.” Wozniak replied, “Yes, that’s what they do in college.” Jobs refused to go to the classes he

was assigned and instead went to the ones he wanted, such as a dance class where he could enjoy both the

creativity and the chance to meet girls. “I would never have refused to take the courses you were

supposed to, that’s a difference in our personality.” said Wozniak surprisedly and admiringly.

Jobs also began to feel guilty about spending so much of his parents’ money on an education that did

not seem worthwhile. “All of my working-class parents’ savings were being spent on my college tuition

(

学费

).” he detailed his experience in a famous ceremony address at Stanford. “I had no idea what I

wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out. And here I was

spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire life. So I decided to drop out and trust that it

would all work out okay."

He didn’t actually want to leave Reed

；

he just wanted to quit paying tuition and taking classes that

didn’t interest him. Surprisingly, Reed tolerated that. “He had a very inquiring mind that was

enormously attractive,” said the dean of students, Jack Dudman. “He refused to accept automatically

received truths, and he wanted to examine everything himself.” Dudman allowed Jobs to audit classes

and stay with friends in the dorms even after he stopped paying tuition.

“The minute I dropped out I could stop taking the required classes that didn’t interest me, and begin

dropping in on the ones that looked interesting,” he said. Among them was a calligraphy (

书法

) class that

appealed to him after he saw posters on campus that were beautifully drawn. “I learned about serif and

sans serif typefaces (

字体

), about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations,

about what makes great typography great. It was beautiful, historical, artistically fine in a way that

science can’t capture, and I found it fascinating.”

It was yet another example of Jobs consciously positioning himself at the intersection (

相交点

) of the

arts and technology. In all of his products, technology would be married to great design, elegance, human

touches, and even romance. “If I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the Mac would

have never had so many typefaces. And since Windows just copied the Mac, it’s likely that no personal

computer would have them.”

Meanwhile Jobs had a hard time at Reed. He went barefoot most of the time, wearing sandals when

it snowed. Elizabeth Holmes made meals for him, trying to keep up with his obsessive diets. He returned

soda bottles for spare change, continued his long hard journeys to the free Sunday dinners at the Hare

Krishna temple, and wore a down jacket in the heatless garage apartment he rented for $20 a month.

When he needed money, he found work at the psychology department lab maintaining the electronic

equipment that was used for animal behaviour experiments. Occasionally Chrisann Brennan would come

to visit. Their relationship developed abnormally. But mostly he tended to the beginning of his own soul

and personal goal for enlightenment (

开明

).

“I came of age at a magical time,” he reflected later, “Our consciousness was raised by Zen, and also

by LSD

．

” Even later in life he would credit certain drugs for making him more enlightened. “Taking

LSD was a valuable experience, one of the most important things in my life. LSD shows you that there’s

another side to the coin, and you can’t remember it when it wears off, but you know it. It heightened my

sense of what was important—creating wonderful things instead of making money, putting

things back into the stream of history and of human consciousness as much as I could. ”

1

、

A

．

approach to freedom

B

．

appetite for knowledge

C

attitude to requirements

D

affection for college life

．

he wanted to be independent of his parents

C

．

he wouldn’t have his parents’ money wasted

D

．

rather difficult to get along with

quite good at solving problems

too stubborn to change his mind

．

very serious about existing beliefs

My motivation for starting our family tradition of reading in the car was purely selfish: I could not

bear listening to A Sesame Street Christmas for another 10 hours. My three children had been addicted to this cassette

on our previous summer’s road trip.

As I began to prepare for our next 500-mile car trip, I came across a book Jim Trelease’s

The Read Aloud Handbook

.

This could be the answer to my problem. I thought. So I put Roald dahl’s James and the Giant Peach into my bag.

When I began to read aloud the tale of the boy who escapes the bad guys by hiding inside a giant peach, my three kids

argued and wrestled in their seats. But after several lines, they were attracted into the rhythm of the words and began to

listen.

We soon learned that the simple pleasure of listening to a well-written book makes the long miles pass more quickly.

Sometimes the books we read became highlights of the trip. I read Wilson Rawls’s

Summer of the Monkeys

as we spent

two days driving to the beach. We arrived just behind the power crews restoring (

恢复

) electricity after a tropical storm.

The rain continued most of the week, and the beach was covered with oil washed up by the storm. When we returned

home, I asked my son what he liked about the trip. He answered without hesitation, “The book you read in the car.”

Road trips still offer challenges, even though my children now are teenagers. But we continue to read as we roll

across the country. And I'm beginning to see that reading aloud has done more than help pass the time. For at least a

little while, we are not shut in our own electronic worlds. And maybe we’ve started something that will pass on to the

next generation.

1

、

Why did the author start reading in the car?

A

．

She wanted to have a better journey.

C

．

Her children were addicted to music.

B

．

She wanted to keep a family tradition

D

．

She wanted to kill the time.
