LAS VEGAS (AFP) — Children may not like it but a British technology firm has invented an electronic babysitter -- a wristwatch-like device that lets parents know where their children are at all times.
The GPS Child Locator, or num8, attaches securely to a child’s wrist and contains a Global Positioning System (GPS), said Matthe
w Salmon, a spokesman for the manufacturer, lok8u.
"It uses GPS and GSM (Global System for Mobiles) technology with an accuracy of 10 feet (three meters)," he said. "It tracks your child."
"It only starts working when the device is
connected to the child’s wrist," Salmon said, and is "very difficult to get off."
"Even if the child managed to get it off it would send an emergency text message through to your mobile phone," he said. "It would give you a Google Maps image with their exact location, the street name and the zip code."
When a child is wearing the device, a parent sends the text message "wru" and the child’s current location is sent back to a mobile phone or computer.
Parents can also log on to the company website to discover their child’s present location.
"You can also set up a perimeter, an invisible fence, and if they wander out of this invisible fence which you put on the Internet it will warn you," Salmon said. "It will text you immediately."
Salmon said the device is waterproof and shockproof and lasts for three days with a full charge.
It will be available in both Britain and the United States this year and retails for 200 dollars with a 10 dollar a month subscription fee.
He said the company had received thousands of inquiries about the device since launching it this week. "Fifty percent are positive, 50 percent are negative, that it’s a bit Big Brotherish," he said. "But it’s really just about letting you have freedom of mind."
【小题1】Only when does the device begin to work.
| A．it uses GPS and GSM technology | B．it is put within about 3 meters |
| C．it’s joined to parents’ computer | D．it is fastened to the child’s wrist |

For as long as humans have lived on the earth, they have made use of various forms of communication. Generally, this expression of thoughts and feelings has been in the form of oral speech. When there is a spoken language problem, communication can be carried out through sign language, in which gestures stand for letters, words, and ideas. Tourists and people unable to hear or speak have often had to turn to this form of expression. When gestures describe words or ideas, they can often be used internationally. When used for spelling words however, where each gesture stands for a single letter, people must share the same written language.
Body language sends ideas or thoughts by certain actions, either meaningfully or not. A wink can be a way of showing that the person is only joking. A nod means agreement, while shaking the head indicates disagreement.
Other forms of language can be found in Braille (a reading system of raised dots read with the fingertips used by the blind), signal flags, Morse code, and smoke signals. Road maps and picture signs also guide and warn people. While language is the most common form of communication, other systems and techniques also express human thoughts and feelings.
1.Which of the following ways can not be used as a form of communication?
A. oral speech B. sign language C. body language D. thought
2.What does the author mainly want to say?
A. People can communicate in many different ways.
B. Everybody uses only one form of communication.
C. Language is invaluable to foreigners.
D. Non-spoken communication is of little value.
3.According to the text, which part of the body can be used to show you are joking?
A. Fingers B. Eyes C. Head D. Feet
4.What can’t be effectively communicated by sign language when people belong to different language groups?
A. Spelling B. Idea C. Whole words D. Expressions
5.How many different forms of communication are mentioned in the text?
A. Three B. Five C. Six D. Nine

Patricia Blues, 29, has a new aim in life: to keep drivers' hands on their steering wheels and off their cell phones. On November 2, 2007, Blues lived through a horrible experience. A motorist dialing a cell phone drove through a stop sign at 45 miles per hour and run into the side of Blues' car. Blues' 2-year-old daughter was killed immediately in the crash.
Blues has since dedicated her time to pushing for laws that would prevent this type of tragedy from happening again.
Cell phones are not the only distractions (分神) that cause accidents. Eating, changing CD, reading maps, talking to passengers, and just reaching for an object on the floor can be dangerous. Therefore, the emphasis should be on educating drivers to avoid all distractions. However, talking on cell phones might be easier to regulate than eating or changing music. At least 34 states have already passed laws to restrict cell phone use in moving cars. No state has banned it yet, but several U. S. cities have. Worldwide, 13 nations, including Australia, England, Germany, Japan and China have banned drivers' use of cell phones in moving cars.
To date, no scientific evidence has been published showing that talking on the phone affects driving safety. But according to a test by some high school students, "driving while on the phone does affect safety and probably shouldn't be done".
64. What happened to Patricia Blues last November? ________.
A. She was seriously injured in a car crash
B. She lost her daughter in a road accident
C. She broke the traffic rules at a bus stop
D. Her vehicle was destroyed by a motorbike
65. The tragedy was caused by ________.
A. Blues' lack of driving experience
B. the motorist’s failure of seeing the stop sign
C. Blues' poor car conditions
D. the motorist's absence of mind while driving
66. Patricia Blues' new goal of life is to persuade the government ________.
A. to prohibit the carrying of cell phones in cars
B. to educate drivers to avoid all distractions
C. to ban talking on the phone while driving
D. to study, harmful results of using cell phones
67. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text? ________.
A. Using cell phone while driving is easier to be controlled by law than other distractions
B. It is more important to make laws than educate drivers to be aware of driving safety
C. Driving while on the phone is firmly against only by some students from high school
D. It is extremely urgent for the cities with a large population to restrict using cell phones
