　　DANBURY－Cheryl Kunst knows a new restriction on teen drivers will help keep them safe, but she worries that it will affect the amount of time she can spend teaching her daughter to drive．

　　The new restriction, which took effect Monday, limits the number of passengers that teenagers with learning permits are allowed to carry．Teenagers with a permit can only drive with the parent or licensed driver who is teaching them．

　　“I understand the safety issues, but it will make it more difficult to get in the driving hours my daughter needs,” said the Danbury woman, who has been teaching her 16-year-old daughter, Sarah, to drive for the last month．“A lot of times I'll let her drive while we're doing errands(短差)and a friend or her little sister might be in the car．We won't be able to do that now．”

　　David Scribner, who authored the state's graduated license laws, said despite the inconvenience, the new regulation will save lives．

　　“The highest percentage of accidents with a young driver is caused by distractions(分心),” Scribner said．“It makes sense to prevent the distractions, especially when a teenager is learning to drive．It creates better conditions to learn under and will give the teenagers higher levels of self-confidence when driving．”

　　Barry Thayer, director of the Thayer Driver Education Center on Padanaram Road, said, “I always warn parents that during the first or second hour of driving, there shouldn't be any other passengers in the car,” he said．“But after a few hours, it can work out fine．The new law sounds nice, but it has its disadvantages．My only concern is that it could mean parents won't be able to spend as much time on the road with their kids．”

A．	teenagers should pay more attention when driving

　　PITTSBURGH－For most people, snakes seem unpleasant or even threatening．But Howie Choset sees in their delicate movements a way to save lives．

　　The 37-year-old Carnegie Mellon University professor has spent years developing snake-like robots he hopes will eventually slide through fallen buildings in search of victims trapped after natural disasters or other emergencies．

　　Dan Kara is president of Robotics Trends, a Northboro, Mass．-based company that publishes an online industry magazine and runs robotics trade shows．He said there are other snake-like robots being developed, mainly at universities, but didn’t know of one that could climb pipes．

　　The Carnegie Mellon machines are designed to carry cameras and electronic sensors and can be controlled with a joystick(操纵杆)．They move smoothly with the help of small electric motors, or servos, commonly used by hobbyists in model airplanes．

　　Built from lightweight materials, the robots are about the size of a human arm or smaller．They can sense which way is up, but are only as good as their human operators, Choset added．

　　Sam Stover, a search term manager with the Federal Emergency Management Agency based in Indiana, said snake-type robots would offer greater mobility than equipment currently available, such as cameras attached to extendable roles．

　　“It just allows us to do something we’ve ot been able to do before, ” Stover said, “We needed them yesterday．”

　　He said sniffer dogs are still the best search tool for rescue workers, but that they can only be used effectively when workers have access to damaged building．

　　Stover, among the rescue workers who handled the aftermath(后果)of Hurricane Katrina, said snake robots would have helped rescuers search flooded houses in that disaster．

　　Choset said the robots may not be ready for use for another five to ten years, depending on funding．

(1)

Which institution is responsible for the development of Choset’s robots?
[　　]
A．	Robotics Trends．
B．	Pittsburgh City Council．
C．	Carnegie Mellon University．
D．	Federal Emergency Management Agency．

(2)

Choset believes that his invention _______．
[　　]
A．	can be attached to an electronic arm
B．	can be used by hobbyists in model airplanes
C．	can find victims more quickly than a sniffer dog
D．	can sense its way no better than its operators

(3)

By saying “We needed them yesterday”(Paragraph 7), Stover means that snake-like robots _______．
[　　]
A．	could help handle the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina
B．	would have been put to use in past rescue work
C．	helped rescuers search flooded houses yesterday
D．	were in greater need yesterday than today

(4)

　　Women turn to online shopping

　　Women have jumped ahead of men for the first time in using the Internet to do their holiday shopping，according to a study published last week in the US．

　　For years men have been more likely to shop on the Internet than women，but during the 2004 holiday season 58 percent of those making online purchases were women．

　　“It shows how mainstream the Internet is becoming”，said Lee Rainie，a director of the Pew Internet and American Life Project group，which carried out the study．

　　Rainie said it was only a matter of time before women shoppers caught up with men．This is because women traditionally make decisions about spending．

　　Users were more likely to shop online to save time．Internet users between the ages of 18 and 29 were responsible for some of the most dramatic(显著的)increases in the online gift-buying population this time around．

　　However，three-quarters of the US Internet users did not buy holiday gifts online in 2004．They worried about credit card security，or just compared online prices with off-line prices，then dashed off to the shops to get the best deals．

　　“But even if shoppers don't buy online，websites are becoming promotion tools for stores，”said Dan Hess，vice president of Comscore Networks Inc．Hess said that actually most stores' websites can make shoppers fully believe the security of their credit card numbers．And most are able to ensure that gifts arrive on time．

　　“It's all about making the shopping experience more efficient，more reliable and more comfortable，” Hess said．

(1)

Which of the following statements is true?
[　　]
A．	There were fewer women online shoppers than men in 2004．
B．	Most of the Internet users between the ages of 18 and 29 are women．
C．	People in the US were more likely to buy gifts online．
D．	More women shopped online than men in 2004．

A．	men usually decide how to spend money in the family
B．	women usually decide what to buy in the family
C．	the Internet is used in all the shops．

(3)

According to Dan Hess，shopping online ________．
[　　]
A．	is unsafe
B．	is convenient
C．	is a waste of time
D．	is cheaper

(4)

What can we know from the passage?
