10、plied to(适用于) ordinary cars, too, and the police started to arrest drivers who broke the speed limit and didnt have a man with a red flag. Of course, it made the idea of motor cars seem quite ridiculous. But this stupid law was stopped in 1878 and the speed limit was raised to the frightening speed
11、of 14 m.p.h. in 1896. A special race was held from London to Brighton to celebrate this victory for the motor car industry. The London-Brighton Veteran Car Run is still held every November to mark this event. Only cars made before 1905 may take part. In the first rally there were no more than 33 ent
12、rants, and only 22 of them finished the course. Nowadays, so many old cars apply to go on the run that the organizers have had to restrict the entry.Early motorists had to carry their own spare parts and do their own repairs.

20、 do serious damage. Invasion of privacy (侵犯隐私),fraud (欺诈), and computer-related mistakes are just a few shocking examples. The computer is like a double-edged sword. It has the ability to cut us free from some activities, but it can also cut deep into profits, personal privacy, and our society in ge
21、neral. How it is used is not a function of technology. It is strictly a function of how people decide to use or misuse this new technology.
