1 Selfdriving vehicles (车辆) will rely on cameras sensors and artificial intelligence (AI) to recognize and respond to road and traffic conditions but sensing is the most effective for objects and movement near the vehicle Not everything important in a car＇s surroundings will be caught by the vehicle＇s camera Another vehicle approaching at high speed on a collision (碰撞) track might not be visible until it＇s too late This is why vehicletovehicle communication is undergoing rapid development Our research shows that cars will need to be able to chat and cooperate on the road although the technical challenges are huge
Applications of vehicletovehicle communication range from vehicles driving together in a row to safety messages about nearby emergency vehicles Vehicles could alert each other to avoid collisions or share notice about passersby and bicycles
From as far as several hundred metres away vehicles could exchange messages with one another or receive information from the Roadside Unit (RSU) about nearby incidents or dangerous road conditions through 4G network A high level of AI seems to be required for such vehicles not only to selfdrive from A to B but also to react intelligently to messages received Vehicles will need to plan reason strategize(制定策略) and adapt according to the information received in real time and to carry out cooperative behaviour For example a group of selfdriving vehicles might avoid a route together because of potential risks or a vehicle could decide to drop someone off earlier due to messages received like a foreseen crowd ahead
Further applications of vehicletovehicle communication are still being researched including how to perform cooperative behaviour
1What is the first paragraph mainly about

3What can we learn about the Roadside Unit(RSU)
AIt can improve bad road conditions BIt recognizes the vehicles on the road
CIt takes control of the passing vehicles DIt serves as an efficient information station

2 AUSTRALIAN adults want to see life skills introduced into school curriculums (课程) including money management job preparation and domestic tasks New research from Monash University showed Australian adults also widely supported the inclusion of technology coding and artificial intelligence subjects to school curriculums to prepare them for future jobs
Coauthor Professor Neil Selwyn said the survey results of more than 2000 Australians had taken himself and Dr Deana Leahy by surprise The life skills — I wasn＇t expecting that at all he said Those quizzed were asked to rate the value of a list of subjects already in the curriculums but were also given an open space to write what they thought should be included Prof Selwyn said people called for schools to teach financial skills budgeting cooking and doing taxes You could argue that these are things people should be learning themselves or learning from their families Prof Selwyn said But we＇ve got to think forward in terms of the skills people will need for jobs and their ways of living
One respondent (调查象) said schools should introduce a contemporary life skills subject A compulsory 1 hour class a week on skills is needed that parents seem continually unable to teach their kids Suggestions for the class included resume writing filing tax returns and health claims Another respondent called for students to be taught general life skills as unfortunately not enough kids will have parents to actually be bothered to educate them or simply parents don＇t know themselves
Of the subjects maths was the highest ranked (755 percent) followed closely by English (74 8 percent) And while science was the third highest ranked subject (46 2 percent) it was more strongly supported by those who earned higher wages and were university educated compared to lower income earners
Aspects of school life considered least important were students having fun learning about things that interested them and being given the opportunity to be creative
1Why did the adults suggest adding life skills to school curriculums
ATo vary school curriculums
BTo enrich students＇ school life
CTo save parents the trouble of educating kids
DTo make preparations for students for future work
2What did Prof Selwyn think of the adults＇ suggestions
AReasonable BRidiculous CInteresting DImpractical
3What does Paragraph 3 focus on
ADifferences of school subjects BReasons for the school survey
COpinions from the people surveyed DInvestigations of the respondents
4What does the text mainly talk about
ASchools should provide more practical classes
BChildren should prepare themselves for the future
CSchooling is the most important aspect of human society
DAustralians supported universities in introducing life skills into school projects
3 Laresce was born with a condition called hypermobility (运动度) which meant her joints were bent The condition can cause severe joint pain and lead to dislocations(脱臼)
But rather than feel sorry for herself she used her misfortune to inspire herself to become Britain＇s strongest schoolgirl
Just two years ago the condition left Laresce in so much pain that she couldn＇t even take part in sports But now she has six British and World Champion powerlifting records It＇s an amazing achievement
Laresce＇s trainer Tania George said her condition is the secret to her success She has more flexibility(灵活性) in her back than most people which gives her the technique of bending her back strongly and safely Most powerlifters would kill to try to bend their backs like Laresce She has perfected the technique to lift heavy weights Tania said
I used to suffer a lot of pain from my hypermobility I remember coming home from school with pains in my knees joints and hips It would stop me doing normal things at school The pain would be so much that some nights I couldn＇t sleep at all and I just couldn＇t face going to school like that And after each dislocation I had to have six months of treatment to recover said Laresce
However since taking up the sport of powerlifting 18 months ago she is now effectively cured Really enjoyed the feeling of power I got and the excitement of people encouraging me to do my very best she said I＇ve made lots of friends It＇s an incredible feeling when everyone＇s cheering me on It＇s the support of other people that makes the difference to winning Becoming a champion was a big surprise — I just started off for fun and wasn＇t expecting anything So to win six titles over just a few months was amazing

SPA is a safety device capable of creating a 125 dB sound that attracts attention and scares away potential attackers To compare it＇s the same volume as a military jet during takeoff
Paul Davidson the inventor of SPA knows all too well the type of situation that Ruth found herself in But that＇s not the only type of situation that SPA helps protect against Parents can give it to their kids as an extra means of protection Teenagers can use it so they can feel safe walking home Women can know it＇s there when they have to use the parking lot at night My mother who is 76 years old carries it around in case she falls and needs to ask people for help I only wish I＇d have thought of it earlier said Paul

5How to Create Trust in a Relationship
Trust in a relationship leads to feelings of connectedness(相互联系)and safety It is built on each person understanding the other being honest and making a sincere effort to keep the relationship strong
①_________ By matching your actions to your words you will create more trust in a relationship If you just talk but have no action the other person will begin to lose faith in you and not believe you when you say you are going to do something Your words must go with your actions
Keep the other person informed Open communication builds trust ②_________ Making him guess what you want does not create trust it creates confusion false assumptions and misunderstandings Be open with each other and include one another in your plans and decisionmaking
Stop thinking about the past and live in the present When you keep records of what the other did in the past that upset you you will never be able to move forward and have a trusting and healthy relationship Trust is earned and it works both ways ③_________ If you are unable to do this trust will never be achieved and the relationship will suffer
④_________ You may have fallen into a pattern of lying to cover up your bad behaviour Continuing on this path will come to no good When asked a question be as truthful in your answer as you can The truth may or may not meet with your partner＇s agreement but this is necessary in order to rebuild trust in your relationship
Work on creating trust with one another at all times ⑤_________ Consider it your job to be open and trustworthy and work on it The more time you give the relationship the more chances you will have to show your trust and honesty Be mindful of each other＇s attempts to be honest and trust will build over time
A Tell the truth
B Ask questions
C Do what you say you are going to do
D It does not happen overnight and takes time
E Be willing to forgive each other and move on
F Without trust in your relationship failure is sure to follow
G Let the other person know how you feel and what you are thinking

5How to Create Trust in a Relationship
Trust in a relationship leads to feelings of connectedness(相互联系)and safety It is built on each person understanding the other being honest and making a sincere effort to keep the relationship strong
①_________ By matching your actions to your words you will create more trust in a relationship If you just talk but have no action the other person will begin to lose faith in you and not believe you when you say you are going to do something Your words must go with your actions
Keep the other person informed Open communication builds trust ②_________ Making him guess what you want does not create trust it creates confusion false assumptions and misunderstandings Be open with each other and include one another in your plans and decisionmaking
Stop thinking about the past and live in the present When you keep records of what the other did in the past that upset you you will never be able to move forward and have a trusting and healthy relationship Trust is earned and it works both ways ③_________ If you are unable to do this trust will never be achieved and the relationship will suffer
④_________ You may have fallen into a pattern of lying to cover up your bad behaviour Continuing on this path will come to no good When asked a question be as truthful in your answer as you can The truth may or may not meet with your partner＇s agreement but this is necessary in order to rebuild trust in your relationship
Work on creating trust with one another at all times ⑤_________ Consider it your job to be open and trustworthy and work on it The more time you give the relationship the more chances you will have to show your trust and honesty Be mindful of each other＇s attempts to be honest and trust will build over time
