One evening in February 2007 . a student named Paula Ceely brought her car to a stop on a remote in Wales . She got out to open a metal gate that blocked her path . That's when she heard the whistle sounded by the driver of a train.Her Renault Clio parked across a railway line. Second later,she watched  the train drag her car almost a kilometre down the railway tracks.
Ceely's near miss  made the news because she blamed it on her GPS device(导航仪).She had never driven the route before .It was dark and raining heavily . Ceely was relying on her GPS. But it made no mention of the crossing ."I put my complete trust in the device and it led me right into the path of a speeding train ,"she told the BBC.
W ho is to blame here ? Rick Stevenson ,who tells Ceely's story in his book When Machines Fail US, finger at the limitations of technology. We put our faith in digital devices, he says,
but our digital helpers are too often not up to the job. They are filled with small  problems. And it’s not just GPS devices: Stevenson takes us on a tour of digital disasters involving everything from mobile phones to wireless key boards.
The problem with his argument in the book is that it’s  not clear why he only focuses digital technology,while  there may be a number of other possible  causes. A map-maker might have left the crossing off a paper map. Maybe we should blame Ceely for not paying attention. perhaps the railway authorities are at fault for poor signaling system. Or maybe someone has studied the relative dangers and worked out that there really is something specific wrong with the CPS equipment. But Stevenson doesn’t say.
It’s a problem that runs through the book. In a section on cars, Stevenson gives an accout of the advanced techniques that criminals use to defeat computer-based locking systems for cars. He offers two independent sets of figures on car theft; both show a small rise in some parts of the country. He says that once once again not all new locks have proved reliable. Perhaps, but maybe it’s also due to the shortage of policemen on the streets. Or changing social circumstances. Or some combination of these factors .
The game between humans and their smart devices  is complex. It is shaped by economics and psychology and the cultures we live in. Somewhere in the mix of those forces there may be  way a wiser use of technology.   
If there is such a way, it should involve more than just  an awareness of the shortcomings of our machines. After all, we have lived with them for thousands  of years. They have probably been fooling us for just as long .

Weighed down(压得喘不过气来) by study? Pushed to the limit by the fast pace of life? Frightened by the possible war? Well, you’re not alone.Men and women in France are seeking relief using the world’s best medicine--laughter.

In the past year, more than 25 laughter clubs have been set up across the country.People of all ages release their stress with an hour of group laughs.“People telephoned me and said they have forgotten what it is to laugh.They want to find a place where they can escape all their problems for a while.So they come,” said 40-year-old Jocelyn Le Moan.She usually takes a class of around 60 people through a series of laughter techniques.

Her pupils range from teenagers to 70 years old, but most are middle-aged white collars seeking 60 minutes of relaxation at the end of a busy day.

Le Moan takes them through the “Lion Laugh” and the “Laugh Contest”, where participants “speak” to each other in different ways.And instead of talking, they break into fits of laughter.At the end there are 15 minutes of “meditation”(沉思),when they lie on their backs and let the laughs burst out of their mouths.

“I love it.It’s an experience that has changed my life.Through it I rediscovered the child’s laugh inside me,” said Romain Jourffroy, 24."US President George W.Bush should give it a try.He has lost his laugh,” she joked.

Like Jourffroy, many laughter club members find themselves changed into children again, and Why not? The average preschooler laughs up to 400 times a day.The average adult only a sad seven to fifteen.

The physical benefits of laughter are already well-recognized.Doctors say the act of laughing releases good chemicals into the blood-stream, while the quick breathing that accompanies it helps massage(按摩)the digestive organs and strengthens the heart.

“A full hour is like having your insides go jogging! One finishes out of breath, but feels revitalized (产生新活力).And on top of that, you’ve had a laugh,” said doctor Alexisd Estaing.

And many participants in Paris also emphasize the Psychological benefits.They believe that laughter is a way of making oneself feel more confident.

“Maybe it is because we are surrounded by so many troubles that we feel the need to keep laughing,” said Anne Maurigiano, a 29-year-old filmmaker.

1.From the passage, we can conclude the following but __________.

       A.Jocelyn Le Moan is a teacher of the club.

       B.the members are mostly middle-aged white collars.

       C.people always need some way to relax in life.

       D.laugh freely and everything goes well.

2.The writer suggested that you should __________.

       A.have a good laugh after a busy day

       B.talk to each other about what troubles you

       C.learn series of laughter techniques

       D.take the world’s best medicine

3.Which of the following is NOT included among the benefits of laughing ?

       A.It can make people rediscover their children’s laugh.

       B.It can release good chemical into blood stream.

       C.It can make you feel self-confident.

       D.It can cure the illness of people.

4.What does the phrase “on the top of that ” mean?

       A.besides                                               B.on the top of tiredness

       C.above all                                             D.on the top of your energy
