Self-driving cars might make yur future travel a lt mre pleasant, but they wn’t reduce traffic.
Car prducers have mentined that traffic reductin is ne f the many advantages f having self-driving cars n the rad. The idea is that self-driving cars will reduce accidents caused by human mistakes. But experts say self-driving cars’ influence n traffic will prbably be bad.
Lew Fultn, a c-directr at UC Davis’ Institute f Transprtatin Studies (ITS), said that self-driving cars wn’t fix traffic prblems unless a pricing system is put in place that discurages self-driving cars. Fr example, many cmpanies are interested in prgramming self-driving cars t d smething, which culd increase traffic n the rad, Fultn said.
Massachusetts lawmakers have already suggested intrducing a tax (税) n driverless cars. It calls fr at least $0.025 per mile.
Traffic jams (堵塞) culd als wrsen as cmpanies like Lucid Mtrs try t prduce self-driving cars with reclining seats (可躺座椅). Peple may chse t live farther utside f cities if they can travel in cars that allw them t sleep and relax. But that increases the number f peple travelling in and ut f cities during rush hur, Fultn said.
Withut the cst f a driver, Fultn said he wrries self-driving Ubers r Lyfts will becme s cheap it will be hard t push peple t chse car-sharing services like uberPOOL. “I think it’s ging t take sme kind f pricing system that discurages cars withut a single passenger,” he said.
Sme cities have already started prgrammes that discurage peple frm taking car trips alne. Fr example, Chicag and New Yrk City have set up lanes (车道) that single-passenger cars must pay sme mney t use. That mney increases during rush hur.
28. What d car prducers think f self-driving cars?
A. They are safe.
B. They are fast.
C. They save buyers mney.
D. They increase traffic slightly.
29. What d Massachusetts lawmakers suggest?
A. Intrducing a tax n car prducers.
B. Increasing the selling price f self-driving cars.
C. Pushing up the running csts f self-driving cars.
D. Calling fr drivers t avid travelling during rush hur.
30. What will happen if there are self-driving cars with reclining seats?
A. Mre peple will live in city centres.
B. Peple will spend less mney n transprt.
C. Peple are likely t travel lnger distances.
D. There will be lighter traffic during rush hur.
31. What’s the best title fr the text?

Ever wndered why fresh fruits and vegetables are the first thing yu see in stres r why the bread and milk are s far away? Supermarkets spend millins f dllars researching cnsumer (消费者) behaviur in rder t develp ways t make yu buy mre in their stres.
CHOICE magazine takes a lk at sme f the mre cmmn tricks t help yu avid spending mre mney next time yu g shpping.
Experts say turning t the right when yu walk int a shp is cnnected with mst peple’s preference fr using their right hand.
Dr Paul Harrisn, expert at Deakin University, says a stre’s entry (入口) is nt the nly imprtant pint. “Research in the US has shwn that shppers wh travel in an anti-clckwise (逆时针方向的) directin will spend abut tw dllars mre per trip than clckwise shppers.”
Research made n shppers’ in-stre mvements suggests peple travel t sme aisles (过道) nly. The mst cmmn trip t travel in stres is arund the utside circle, walking in and ut f the aisles as needed. As a result, the ends f each aisle are where the stre makes the mst mney.
When yu enter a big supermarket fresh fruits and vegetables are in the first shpping area. Althugh it’s nt wise t first put fruits and vegetables int yur shpping basket, this department is set t make the shppers feel that it’s fresh and healthy. Peple wh use the fresh fd areas are als likely t spend mre mney in the stre.
By setting up different “marketplace” areas, it feels as thugh we’ve visited several different stres where we can get everything we need rather than a single big shp. Each f these areas has different lighting and flr cverings. “It’s all abut creating a market-like feel,” says Harrisn. “Areas making and selling bread, apart frm smelling gd, give the impressin that the supermarket can be trusted. It’s like they’re saying, ‘Yu can trust us because we make fd.’”
32. Why d peple turn t the right when entering a shp?
A. Peple are mstly right-handed.
B. It’s easier fr them t walk in a circle.
C. Fresh fd is ften placed n the right.
D. Shpping baskets are usually n the right.
33. What des the research in the US find?
A. Mst shppers walk anti-clckwise.
B. Clckwise walkers are ften big shppers.
C. A stre’s entry is the mst imprtant pint.
D. Walking directins influence cnsuming behaviur.
34. As fr aisles, what d supermarket managers mst care abut?
A. The ends.
B. The middle.
C. Hw lng they are.
D. Hw wide they are.
35. What impressin des a supermarket try t give shppers by making each area different?
A. It is fresh.
B. It is healthy.
C. It cvers a big area.
D. It ffers a wide chice.

It’s amazing t cnsider the fact that tday, in western Michigan, peple speak mre than 120 languages. And it’s even mre amazing fr me t be part f helping many f thse immigrant (移民的) families.
My family and I immigrated t the US in 1975. We’ve lived fr years in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Early n, I was interested in becming a schlteacher, but language prevented me frm ding well n tests. Mst f the teachers were very kind, but ne, pinting t a lw scre I had made, laughed at me, “Yu shuld have dne better; yu’ve been here a year already.”
S I tk English classes while cntinuing my educatin, and I graduated (毕业) in 1980 frm Grand Valley State University as a licensed practical nurse. First I wrked in a hspital, but I fund the wrk didn’t fit me. Then I wrked with the United Natins helping immigrants and, later, wrked as an interpreter (口译者) and translatr.
Realizing there was a grwing need here fr my skill set, I started a business t help nn-English-speakers. That became my lifewrk. I emply sme 250 interpreters and translatrs, sme f whm are gifted in as many as seven languages.
We are fund in any place where wrds are spken r written — schls, hspitals, wrkplaces, etc. We mainly prvide interpretatin and written translatin services. Our expertise in rare languages and dialects (方言) sets us apart; we can als translate papers in 30 different languages.
Mercy Health is a health-care prvider in western Michigan. It has praised ur prfessinalism and quickness. We prvide translatin fr languages ften cnsidered difficult t supprt — frm Albanian and Assyrian t Zaghawa and Zulu. Besides, we can field 16 languages spken in Myanmar and American Sign Language.
Especially satisfying is serving the nearby Kentwd Public Schls. Twice a year, we partner with mthers and fathers attending parent-teacher meetings. We deal with 450 such meetings in just tw r three days.

Carmakers nw allw drivers t make phne calls, use email, and text, etc. Cars used t have a few buttns (按钮). Sme cars nw have as many as 50 buttns.
“It’s adding cmplex infrmatin at drivers’ fingertips withut ften cnsidering whether it’s a gd idea t put it at their fingertips,” University f Utah prfessr David Strayer said. That cmplexity increases the time drivers spend trying t use the systems.
The car industry says that mbile phnes are nt allwed while driving and navigatin devices (导航设备) were nt made t be used while driving. But the systems “are develped t be used in the driving envirnment and require drivers’ attentin that is cmparable t turning n the radi, which has always been cnsidered acceptable behavir while driving,” said Wade Newtn, a spkesman fr the Alliance f Autmbile Manufacturers.
But Jake Nelsn, AAA’s directr fr traffic safety research, said drivers testing all 30 f the 2017 mdel year cars tk their eyes ff the rad and hands ff the wheel while using the systems. The test drivers tuch screens and ther technlgies t make calls, send texts, turn n the radi, r prgram navigatin all while driving.
Researchers said 23 f the 30 cars were cnsidered “very high” r “high” in terms f the attentin they required frm drivers. It takes drivers abut 40 secnds t prgram navigatin systems. Research made befre has shwn that drivers wh tk their eyes frm the rad fr just tw secnds duble their risk f a crash.
In 2012, the Natinal Highway Traffic Safety Administratin made vluntary (自愿的) safety guidelines t carmakers. The guidelines suggest that autmakers lck ut the ability t prgram navigatin systems while a car is mving. Hwever, the ability t prgram navigatin while driving was allwed in 12 cars in the study. The guidelines als suggest carmakers prevent drivers frm texting while driving, but three-quarters f the cars tested allw drivers t text while the car is mving.
5. What was David Strayer’s attitude tward the systems?
A. He was interested in them.
B. He was hpeful f them.
C. He was uncertain abut them.
D. He was dissatisfied with them.
6. What did Wade Newtn say abut the systems?
A. They were gd chices fr drivers.
B. They culdn’t be used while driving.
C. They were unacceptable t the public.
D. They were mainly used fr navigatin.
7. Which f the fllwing might Jake Nelsn agree with abut the systems?
A. They were risky but wrthwhile.
B. They were quick and easy t use.
C. They saved drivers a lt f mney.
D. They increased the risk f accidents.
8. What can be inferred abut vluntary safety guidelines?
A. They are quite welcme.
B. They are nt prperly made.
C. They are nt strictly fllwed.
D. They are very helpful t drivers.

Self-driving cars might make yur future travel a lt mre pleasant, but they wn’t reduce traffic.
Car prducers have mentined that traffic reductin is ne f the many advantages f having self-driving cars n the rad. The idea is that self-driving cars will reduce accidents caused by human mistakes. But experts say self-driving cars’ influence n traffic will prbably be bad.
Lew Fultn, a c-directr at UC Davis’ Institute f Transprtatin Studies (ITS), said that self-driving cars wn’t fix traffic prblems unless a pricing system is put in place that discurages self-driving cars. Fr example, many cmpanies are interested in prgramming self-driving cars t d smething, which culd increase traffic n the rad, Fultn said.
Massachusetts lawmakers have already suggested intrducing a tax (税) n driverless cars. It calls fr at least $0.025 per mile.
Traffic jams (堵塞) culd als wrsen as cmpanies like Lucid Mtrs try t prduce self-driving cars with reclining seats (可躺座椅). Peple may chse t live farther utside f cities if they can travel in cars that allw them t sleep and relax. But that increases the number f peple travelling in and ut f cities during rush hur, Fultn said.
Withut the cst f a driver, Fultn said he wrries self-driving Ubers r Lyfts will becme s cheap it will be hard t push peple t chse car-sharing services like uberPOOL. “I think it’s ging t take sme kind f pricing system that discurages cars withut a single passenger,” he said.
Sme cities have already started prgrammes that discurage peple frm taking car trips alne. Fr example, Chicag and New Yrk City have set up lanes (车道) that single-passenger cars must pay sme mney t use. That mney increases during rush hur.
28. What d car prducers think f self-driving cars?
A. They are safe.
B. They are fast.
C. They save buyers mney.
D. They increase traffic slightly.
29. What d Massachusetts lawmakers suggest?
A. Intrducing a tax n car prducers.
B. Increasing the selling price f self-driving cars.
C. Pushing up the running csts f self-driving cars.
D. Calling fr drivers t avid travelling during rush hur.
30. What will happen if there are self-driving cars with reclining seats?
A. Mre peple will live in city centres.
B. Peple will spend less mney n transprt.
C. Peple are likely t travel lnger distances.
D. There will be lighter traffic during rush hur.
31. What’s the best title fr the text?

Ever wndered why fresh fruits and vegetables are the first thing yu see in stres r why the bread and milk are s far away? Supermarkets spend millins f dllars researching cnsumer (消费者) behaviur in rder t develp ways t make yu buy mre in their stres.
CHOICE magazine takes a lk at sme f the mre cmmn tricks t help yu avid spending mre mney next time yu g shpping.
Experts say turning t the right when yu walk int a shp is cnnected with mst peple’s preference fr using their right hand.
Dr Paul Harrisn, expert at Deakin University, says a stre’s entry (入口) is nt the nly imprtant pint. “Research in the US has shwn that shppers wh travel in an anti-clckwise (逆时针方向的) directin will spend abut tw dllars mre per trip than clckwise shppers.”
Research made n shppers’ in-stre mvements suggests peple travel t sme aisles (过道) nly. The mst cmmn trip t travel in stres is arund the utside circle, walking in and ut f the aisles as needed. As a result, the ends f each aisle are where the stre makes the mst mney.
When yu enter a big supermarket fresh fruits and vegetables are in the first shpping area. Althugh it’s nt wise t first put fruits and vegetables int yur shpping basket, this department is set t make the shppers feel that it’s fresh and healthy. Peple wh use the fresh fd areas are als likely t spend mre mney in the stre.
By setting up different “marketplace” areas, it feels as thugh we’ve visited several different stres where we can get everything we need rather than a single big shp. Each f these areas has different lighting and flr cverings. “It’s all abut creating a market-like feel,” says Harrisn. “Areas making and selling bread, apart frm smelling gd, give the impressin that the supermarket can be trusted. It’s like they’re saying, ‘Yu can trust us because we make fd.’”
32. Why d peple turn t the right when entering a shp?
A. Peple are mstly right-handed.
B. It’s easier fr them t walk in a circle.
C. Fresh fd is ften placed n the right.
D. Shpping baskets are usually n the right.
33. What des the research in the US find?
A. Mst shppers walk anti-clckwise.
B. Clckwise walkers are ften big shppers.
C. A stre’s entry is the mst imprtant pint.
D. Walking directins influence cnsuming behaviur.
34. As fr aisles, what d supermarket managers mst care abut?
A. The ends.
B. The middle.
C. Hw lng they are.
D. Hw wide they are.
35. What impressin des a supermarket try t give shppers by making each area different?
A. It is fresh.
B. It is healthy.
C. It cvers a big area.
D. It ffers a wide chice.

It’s amazing t cnsider the fact that tday, in western Michigan, peple speak mre than 120 languages. And it’s even mre amazing fr me t be part f helping many f thse immigrant (移民的) families.
My family and I immigrated t the US in 1975. We’ve lived fr years in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Early n, I was interested in becming a schlteacher, but language prevented me frm ding well n tests. Mst f the teachers were very kind, but ne, pinting t a lw scre I had made, laughed at me, “Yu shuld have dne better; yu’ve been here a year already.”
S I tk English classes while cntinuing my educatin, and I graduated (毕业) in 1980 frm Grand Valley State University as a licensed practical nurse. First I wrked in a hspital, but I fund the wrk didn’t fit me. Then I wrked with the United Natins helping immigrants and, later, wrked as an interpreter (口译者) and translatr.
Realizing there was a grwing need here fr my skill set, I started a business t help nn-English-speakers. That became my lifewrk. I emply sme 250 interpreters and translatrs, sme f whm are gifted in as many as seven languages.
We are fund in any place where wrds are spken r written — schls, hspitals, wrkplaces, etc. We mainly prvide interpretatin and written translatin services. Our expertise in rare languages and dialects (方言) sets us apart; we can als translate papers in 30 different languages.
Mercy Health is a health-care prvider in western Michigan. It has praised ur prfessinalism and quickness. We prvide translatin fr languages ften cnsidered difficult t supprt — frm Albanian and Assyrian t Zaghawa and Zulu. Besides, we can field 16 languages spken in Myanmar and American Sign Language.
Especially satisfying is serving the nearby Kentwd Public Schls. Twice a year, we partner with mthers and fathers attending parent-teacher meetings. We deal with 450 such meetings in just tw r three days.

Carmakers nw allw drivers t make phne calls, use email, and text, etc. Cars used t have a few buttns (按钮). Sme cars nw have as many as 50 buttns.
