      A baby camel asked his mother, "why do we have such large hoofs on our feet?" She turned to him
and began her explanation.
     "The big hoofs are to keep us from sinking into the sand."
      "Oh!So why do we have long eyelashes?"
     "It's to protect our eyes from the sand."
     "Why the big humps?"
     "That is to store fat and have enough energy to go long distances in the hot desert!"
     "I see!"the baby camel stretched his neck and looked up at his mother."Then what are we doing in
this cage in the middle of a zoo?"
     Like the baby camel, I had asked the same kind of questions. When my blindness set in, I first
locked myself in a cage of self-pity and bitterness. I was tired of walking out of that dark cage.
      Heavens! What was I thinking? Those bars were self-imposed (自我强加的). Finally, eagerness to
leave it inspired me to open my ears to hear a reassuring whisper--I was created for much more.
     I broke down those bars and stepped out into the desert of life. I walked difficultly through the heat
with determination. And the hooves of confidence kept me from sinking into the sand of danger.
     Each time I reached another point on my journey, my eyes saw a whole new world with opportunities
to make a difference. Best of all, I was pleased that I was indeed created for much more! Bars come in
all sizes and shapes. But none can hold up the force of determination that breaks them down.
      Step back and peek at what bars limit you. Take a deep breath, break them down, and come out
into the freshness of a new life!

1. The dialogue between the baby camel and his mother is quoted to _____.

   A. show the hard life of camels
   B. encourage readers to ask questions
   C. introduce the topic of the passage
   D. make the passage interesting

   A. the cage for the author to stay in
   B. the cage for the camels to stay in

Global Positioning Systems are now a part of everyday driving in many countries. These satellite based systems provide turn-by-turn directions to help people get to where they want to go . But, they can also cause a lot of problems, send you to the wrong place or leave you completely lost. Many times, the driver is to blame. Sometimes a GPS error is responsible. Most often , says Barry Brown, an expert in human computer inter action, it is a combination of the two.

We spoke to Mr Brown by Skype (网络电话软件).He told us about an incident involving a friend who had flown to an airport in the eastern United States. There he borrowed a GPS equipped car to use during his stay .Barry Brown:“And they just put in an address and then set off to their destination. And , then it wasn’t until they were driving for thirty minutes that they realized they actually put in a destination back on the West Coast where they lived. They actually put their home address in . So again, the GPS is kind of ‘garbage in garbage out’”.

Mr Brown says this a common human error. But, he says, what makes the problem worse has to do with some of the shortcomings, or failures, of GPS equipment. Barry Brown:“One problem with a lot of the GPS units is they have a very small screen and they just tell you the next turn . Because they just give you the next turn, sometimes that means that it is not really giving you the overview that you would need to know that it’s going to the wrong place.”

Barry Brown once worked on a project with Eric Laurier from the University of Edinburgh. The two men studied the effects of GPS devices on driving by placing cameras in people’s cars. They wrote a paper based on their research. It is called “The Normal, Natural Troubles of Driving with GPS”. It lists several areas where GPS systems can cause confusion for drivers. These include maps that are outdated, incorrect or difficult to understand . They also include timing issues (时机问题)related to when GPS commands are given.

Barry Brown says to make GPS systems better we need a better understanding of how drivers, passengers and GPS systems work together.

72.In Paragraph 2, Mr Brown mentioned his friend in the conversation to        .

   A.build up his own reputation               B.laugh at his stupid friend

   C.describe an example of human error        D.prove the GPS system is only garbage

73.What is the disadvantage of small screens in GPS equipment according to the text?

   A.They make drivers tired easily.]            B.They are harmful to eyes.

   C.They just provide the next turn.            D.They often break down suddenly.

74.With which of the following statements would Barry Brown most likely agree?

   A.GPS units are to blame for most GPS service failures.

   B.Drivers, GPS systems and passengers should unite to improve GPS systems.

   C.Cameras are urgently needed to help improve GPS systems.

   D.We should introduce higher standards for the driving license.

75.What would be the best title for the text?

   A.GPS equipment in driving : to be deserted or improved?

   B.Driving with GPS can be difficult         

   C.Driving without GPS should be much more convenient

   D.Driving errors can be caused by small screens.
