The latest version of Google‘s self-driving car—a pod-like two-seater that needs no gas pedal or steering wheel—will make its first appearance on public roads this summer, a significant step in the technology giant‘s mission to have driverless cars available to consumers in the next five years. It can drive, brake and recognize road dangers without human involvement. Google says the car is the first vehicle built for the purpose of self-driving.
However, the new vehicle is not designed for long trips. It lacks air bags and other safety devices required by the federal government. It cannot go more than 25 miles per hour. The vehicle is electric and has to be recharged after 80 miles. And it can only drive in areas that have been thoroughly mapped by Google.
Current California laws require all vehicles to have a steering wheel to guide the car and a gas pedal to control fuel use. The laws also require a driver to be able to take back control of a vehicle at any time. But, Google is working to change those laws.
Google will first build and test 25 driverless vehicles, mostly in neighborhoods surrounding its Mountain View headquarters. It eventually will build between 50 and 100, and will broaden testing to sites that are hillier and rainier.
The final goal, says Google co-founder Sergey Brin, is computer-controlled cars that can get rid of human error, which is a factor in an estimated 90 percent of the 1.2 million road deaths that occur worldwide each year. Self-driving cars also could improve traffic jam and transport the elderly and disabled.
Convincing drivers that driverless technology is safe is one of the difficulties the company must overcome. Earlier this week, in response to questions from the Associated Press, Google acknowledged 11 minor accidents in the six years it has been testing autonomous cars. Urmson, who directs Google ?s self-driving car project, says the company is proud of that record, and notes that Google‘s vehicles have completed more than 1.7 million miles of testing. He says all but one of the accidents were caused by drivers in other cars.
Consumers question whether they can trust self-driving cars to work all the time, says the consulting firm J.D. Power and Associates. In a 2013 survey of U.S. drivers, J.D. Power found only one in five was interested in a fully autonomous car.
Google isn‘t alone in developing self-driving cars. Mercedes-Benz, Infiniti and other brands already have advanced driver assistance systems. Unlike Google, automakers think self-driving cars will arrive feature-by-feature instead of all at once, giving people plenty of time to adapt to autonomous driving.
But Urmson says that approach is ―fundamentally wrong.‖ ―We believe that‘s like saying, ?If I work really hard
at jumping, one day I‘ll just be able to fly,‖‖ he said.
41. According to the passage, Google‘s self-driving car ______. A. has changed the California laws B. is equipped with safety devices C. has limited driving areas D. can travel very fast 42. What does Google plan to do? A. Provide free service to the elderly and disabled. B. Expand the testing areas of self-driving cars. C. Design vehicles especially for hilly areas. D. Invest more in public transportation. 43. We can learn from Urmson‘s words that self-driving cars ______. A. are safer than traditional cars B. need a long period of testing C. fail to meet Google‘s requirements D. are more intelligent than humans 44. What can we learn from the passage? A. Half of the road deaths are due to human error. B. Google faces many technology difficulties. C. Most people are doubtful about self-driving cars. D. Few companies are interested in developing self-driving cars 45. Which of the following agrees with Urmson‘s idea? A. Google should make driverless cars available soon. B. Advanced driver assistance is popular at present. C. Flying cars may be developed in the future. D. People need time to adapt to self-driving cars.

Just what is it about roller coasters? It seems we just can’t get enough of them. This week we take a look at some of the top amusement parks and the roller coasters that have helped make them famous. Lake Compounce
Lake Compounce, being one of America‘s more traditional parks, is a rare find indeed. The oldest continuously operating amusement park in the US, it has been a popular family spot since 1846. like many old-time parks, it fell on hard times and was in danger of being closed. Luckily, in 1977, a well-known company came to its rescue with huge infusions(注入) of cash. The transformed park with its new rides, is attracting many new fans. Don‘t expect the high-energy rush found at larger parks, though, as the lake has a more relaxed pace—a reminder of its 19th-century origins. Lake Compounce also has a great combination of rides, including the exciting Boulder Dash roller coaster. Boulder Dash is the first of its kind to be built on the side of a mountain and doesn‘t actually look like a typical roller coaster. Instead of the usual mass of wooden tracks high in the air, the ride uses the mountain as its base. Holiday World
It is a family park in the sense that it resists the hyped-up(兴奋的) atmosphere of its competitors and instead offers a more relaxed friendly experience. Rare in that it is privately owned and it has many features that corporate parks often can‘t match. There is lots of entertainment for youngsters, so parents appreciate the park‘s family-friendly policy of free entry to the water park, reasonable food prices and unlimited soft drinks free of charge.
What‘s more, Holiday World delivers great rides. In fact, the Raven, a more traditional wooden roller coaster, ranks among the best in the world. Park president, Will Koch, who had a hand in developing the ride, says the reason Raven works so well is that it keeps riders on the edge of their seats. Knott’s Berry Farm
One of America‘s favorite theme parks, Knott‘s has something for everyone. For those seeking a breathtaking rush, try the roller coaster, GhostRider or the Xcelerator. GhostRider is the single largest attraction in amusement park history and one of the longest and tallest wooden roller coasters in the world. If you‘re after something a little less exciting, go to Camp Snoopy. Or visit the heart of Knott‘s, Ghost Town, for a glance of life in the Wild West of the 1880s. with its cowboys, carriages, steam trains and historic buildings – many transported from mining towns—Ghost Town will let you relive a piece of the past. Islands of Adventure
