And the problem hasnt just appeared recently. Back in 2014, the UK was given the title of the “loneliness capital of Europe” by The Telegraph
21、. A survey carried out by the newspaper found that British people were less likely to get to know their neighbors or build strong relationships with people than those from other European countries. “There is something British about wanting to deal with problems yourself,” Christian Guy, director of

29、 roadside with almost centimeter-level accuracy. But few places have been mapped in such detail, which has left most areas like smaller towns inaccessible to those driverless cars.Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT) now have developed a new navigation system that guides aut
30、onomous vehicles without such accurate maps. This technology can help driverless cars travel almost anywhere.The navigation system maps out a course down unfamiliar roads much as a human driver would by continually scanning its surroundings, with a laser sensor（激光感应器）, to measure how close it is to
31、the edges of the road. Meanwhile, the car also follows a tool like a smart phone map app that provides directions to its destination, as well as information about the rules of the road, such as speed limits and the positions of stoplights. Teddy Ort, a roboticist at MIT, test -drove a car equipped w
32、ith this navigation system on a one-way road. It slowly traveled one kilometer without any human assistance.This system assumes that a car has a clear path down the road, but it can be paired with other existing computing technology to discover in-road obstacles, says Ort. The researchers also plan
33、to build a version of this system which can spot markings painted on streets, so that the car can drive on two-way roads. “Self-driving cars with this navigation system may need other sensors to work in different conditions,” says Alexander Wyglinski, an electrical engineer at Worcester Polytechnic
34、Institute. “Since laser sensors dont work well in rain or snow, these cars might need additional imaging technologies to drive safely in bad weather.”32. What may be a problem for most driverless cars?A. They run in limited areas.B. Their maps are out-dated.C. Their guides are unreliable.D. They fai

On this day each year, the establishment of the Universal Postal Union in 1874 is celebrated. Its also an occas
38、ion to promote letter writing. With electronic communication being the most popular way to stay in touch, letter writing is a dying art. _36_ A serious writer of letters makes an effort that a person sending an email does not. Its a civilized act that is deeply respectful of the recipient(接受者)._37_
39、About a male character in her novel Villette, Charlotte Bront wrote that his letter to his beloved was itself an expression of love “he sat down and took a pen and paper, because he loved Lucy and had much to say to her, because he was faithful and thoughtful, because he was tender(温柔的) and true.”Br

Communications were becoming modern, but they were nothing like todays. _38_ If people moved to another land, they might never be heard from again.To receive a letter, therefore, was a special event. Between family and friends, it was a sign of love and affection. _39_
41、Imagine that your best friend had gone to study in another country. To have the postman give you a letter from that person would make that day a very special day indeed. Perhaps all of you friends would gather to hear the news from him or her from the other side of the world.Perhaps we should try to
