The system, called Driver Alert, aims to reduce deadly road accidents by 20%40% that are caused by tiredness. Airline pilots can also use it to reduce the 30% of all piloterror accidents that are related to fatigue(疲勞)Driver Alert is based on a computerized wristband(表帶). The device,worn by drivers or pilots,gives out a sound about every four minutes during the journey. After each sound the driver must respond by squeezing the steering wheel(方向盤). A sensor in the wristband detects this pressing action and measures the time between the sound and the drivers response. Tiredness is directly related to a drivers response time. Usually,a watchful driver would take about 400 milliseconds to respond,but once that falls to more than 500 milliseconds,it suggests that the driver is getting sleepy.In such cases the device gives out more regular and louder sounds,showing that the driver should open a window or stop for a rest. If the drivers response continues to slow down,the sounds become more frequent until a nonstop alarm warns that the driver must stop as soon as possible.The device has been delivered to the departments laboratories for testing. If these tests, scheduled for six months time,are successful,the markets will bring the product to market within about a year.Title: _1_._2_:·To reduce _3_ accidents.Working principle:· (the device) based on _4_· (the device) giving out a sound _5_· (the driver) _6_ by squeezing the steering wheel· (the device) giving out more regular and louder sounds when response time is _7_· (the driver) stopping _8_if a nonstop alarm rings.

Let us just say that you are suffering from a bad case of wishful thinking. This neednt make you too uncomfortable because you are in good company. Whenever the subject of smoking and health is raised, the governments of most countries hear no evil, see no evil and smell no evil. Admittedly, a few governments have taken timid measures. In Britain for instance, cigarette advertising has been banned on television while the population continues to puff its way to smoky, cancerous death.You dont have to look very far to find out why the official reactions to medical findings have been so lukewarm. The answer is simply money. Tobacco is a wonderful kind of commodity to tax. Its almost like a tax on our daily bread. In tax alone, the government of Britain collects enough from smokers to pay for its entire educational facilities. So while the authorities point out ever so deliberately that smoking may be harmful, it doesnt do to shout too loudly about it.But if the governments of the world were honestly concerned about the welfare of their people, youd think theyd conduct aggressive antismoking campaigns. Far from it! The tobacco industry is allowed to spend huge sums on advertising. Its advertising is as crafty(詭計多端的)as it is dishonest. We are never shown pictures of real smokers coughing up their lungs early in the morning. That would never do. The advertisements always show strong, even cleanshaven young men. They suggest it is manly to smoke, even positively healthy! Smoking is associated with the great openair life, with beautiful girls, true love and togetherness. What nonsense!For a start, governments could begin by banning all cigarette and tobacco advertising and should then conduct antismoking advertising campaigns of their own. Smoking should be banned in all public places like theatres, cinemas and restaurants. Great efforts should be made to inform young people especially of the consequences of taking up the habit. A horrific warning and a picture of a deaths head should be included in every packet of cigarettes that is sold.As individuals, we are certainly weak, but if governments acted honestly and courageously, they could protect us from ourselves.Title: _11_. _12_·A lot of people smoke and dont know its harms listed as bronchial troubles, heart disease and lung cancer.·A few governments _13_.Reason·Tobacco is so important _14_.

She greeted me by name and started talking with great enthusiasm. Every now and then she stopped to smile at me or blow a kiss.
