"We were nervous about using the robot，"said Derric Sneed，the leader of the program．"But in the end the robot gave us exact information．（73） ．"
The robot was able to go into the gym and find Morgan's place．"Once we made sure where Morgan was and knew it was safe，our men went in to rescue her，"says Sneed．"Her leg was broken and she was afraid，but thankfully，she was alive．"

Have you ever seen a car without a driver？It sounds crazy，but these computer﹣driven driverless cars will soon be filling roads near you．Companies like Google and Tesla have been designing and testing these cars，and the technology is there．
So how？The cars have sensors（感应器）all around which can find other cars and objects in the road．Road signs are read by cameras，and satellite navigation systems（卫星导航系统）are used so the car knows how to get where you want to go．All you have to do is type in the address! Finally，a central computer system takes in all the information that it receives from the sensors and cameras and works out when to speed up，stop and turn．
Sound like your idea of heaven？Sitting back，looking out of the windows and even watching a film or reading a book while‘driving' would be possible with this new technology．You wouldn't have to worry about remembering directions to where you're going．In addition，computers would also drive more safely than people﹣they would obey the rules and have quicker reaction times when in dangerous situations．
However，there are many drawbacks of driverless cars．Computers would have difficulties making ethical（道德的）decisions：if a child ran into the road，would the computer choose to hit the child or turn suddenly and potentially kill the car's passengers？Moreover，I personally find driving fun﹣I'd miss never driving a car myself．There would also be many other decisions to be made﹣should children，or drunk people，be allowed in a driverless car by themselves？Or would there need to be a person with a driving license in the car at all times？
I'm not certain I'd want a driverless car﹣but it's only a matter of time before they'll become more affordable and popular on our roads．
42．When using a driverless car，you need only ．
A．read the road signs carefully
B．check the cameras
C．put the address into the computer
D．remember the directions
43．The third paragraph mainly tells us about the of driverless cars．
A．instructions
B．standards
C．advantages
D．tests
44．The underlined word "potentially" in Paragraph 4 means " "．
A．possibly
B．successfully
C．especially
D．naturally
45．What's the writer's opinion about future driverless cars？
A．They'll use less energy．
B．They'll be less expensive．
C．They'll cause more accidents．
D．They'll run much faster．
More Chinese universities are opening their libraries to the public，allowing people to enjoy reading during normal time and the vacations．
But for some students，including Wang Ling，21，in Sun Yat﹣sen University，this practice has caused headaches．"Members of the public come to our libraries more for sightseeing than reading，"said Wang．
"They sometimes even bring their kids along，and take photos as if it were a place of interest．"
Wang has found it hard to get a seat during busy times．Being short of space is a common problem for university libraries in China．
However，this is not the only reason why students dislike their libraries being open to members of the public．They fear that the quietness of the libraries will be influenced because of visitors' rude behavior．
Chen Jie，18，a student in Tongji University，is one who would be against opening to the public．"I have been to a public library before．People were chatting loudly or speaking on cell phone so you can hardly read，"Chen said．She notices teachers doing serious reading and feels their concentration（专注）has influenced her．"If too many strangers stay here，the whole library will be a noisy place and it's difficult for us to study quietly，"she said．
Will there be alternative（可替代的）ways to share those libraries？Some experts consider that university libraries can stop the public from entering certain areas．"We might keep magazines for academic research only for teachers and students，"said Zhu Lina，library director in Jinan University．
Working together with the community library is another solution（解决方法）．"It's possible that a member of the public can order a book in our library over the Internet，"Ge Jianxiong，the library director in Fudan University said．"We'll send it to a public libraries close to their home．"

Sydney Fredette has a lot of things to deal with．Not only is she a high school student，but she has also set up her own organization，Beary Merry Christmas．She volunteers to serve poor kids and families in Orange Country（县） in California，US．
To remember her best friend who died of cancer nearly 10 years ago，Fredette decided to serve those in Orange Country who are less lucky than she is．
She began with the simple idea of collecting donated（捐赠的）Build﹣A﹣Bears，the popular toy animal that is made by children themselves in the stores' workshops．Fredette then gave them as gifts to the homeless children in California during the holiday season．
With donations at more than 100 bears a year，Fredette and volunteers host activities every year，where volunteers not only give out the bears，but also clothing，meals，and other things．
Not wanting to limit（限制）the giving to just the holiday months，Fredette now hosts other activities for Valentine's Day，Mother's Day and Halloween，providing the chance for her volunteer team to make a difference through the year．
"I love making relationships with the people I serve，"Fredette said．"The thanks they have，hearing their stories and seeing how happy they are，it's so cool．"
Future plans for Fredette include building a public food bank and providing a self﹣development class for students in her school who will soon attend college．
Heading to college herself in the autumn，Fredette is looking to stay local and continue to help out in her county．In fact，she was regarded as a "Dreamer & Doer" not long ago for her work in improving her community，along with 32 other high school students．
