听力原文：Watches, which ore really small clocks, were first made during the sixteenth century. The earliest watches were made of heavy iron, and people wore them hanging from their belts. Little by little, watches were made smaller so that they could be carried more easily. The invention of the machinery for the mass production of these parts of clocks and watches was an important step in making clocks and watches available to the general public. In some watches, small pieces of precious stones, such as rubies or sapphires, are used at the points on which the wheels mm. Since these stones are very hard, they do not wear down very easily under the friction of the moving wheels. Thus a watch utilizing such stones will keep accurate time over a much longer period than other watches.
Some modern watches can measure very small fractions of time. These watches ore useful in timing athletic events. When a button is pressed on these watches, a special second hand begins to move. This type of watch can also be used to count a patient's pulse. It would be difficult to imagine today's world without clocks and watches.

听力原文：Man: Some of us can remember the days when a visit to the supermarket was no fun. If you needed information, there was never an assistant in sight. And when you did find one, they knew less than you. Well, that time is long past, and the seminar I watched recently at our award- winning supermarket was a revelation. It endeavoured to keep sa[es assistants up-to-date with information about food technology, how to access product information on the store intranet, and so on. And that's what gave this supermarket its edge.

After watching my mother deal with our family of five, I can't understand why her answer to the question, "What do you do？" is always, "Oh, I'm just a housewife." JUST a housewife？ Anyone who spends most of her time in meal preparation and clean-up, washing and drying clothes, keeping the house clean, leading a scout troop, playing taxi driver to us kids when it's time for school, music lessons or the dentist, doing volunteer work for her favorite charity, and making sure that all our family needs are met is not JUST a housewife, She's the real Wonder Woman.
Why is it that so many mothers like mine think of themselves as second-class or something similar？ Where has this notion come from？ Have we males made them feel this way？ Has our society made "going to work" outside the home seem more important than what a house wife must face each day？
I would be very curious to see what would happen if a housewife went on strike. Dishes would pile up. Food in the house would run out. No meals would appear on the table. There would be no clean clothes when needed. High boots would be required just to make it through the house scattered with garbage. Walking and bus riding would increase. Those scout troops would have to break up. Charities would suffer.
I doubt if the man of the house would be able to take over. Oh, he might start out with the attitude that he can do just as good a job, but how long would that last？ Not long, once he had to come home each night after work to more household duties. There would be no more coming home to a prepared meal; he'd have to fix it himself. The kids would all be screaming for something to eat, clean clothes and more bus fare money. Once he quieted the kids, he'd have to clean the house, go shopping, make sure that kids got a bath, and fix lunches for the next day. Once the kids were down for the night, he might be able to crawl into an unmade bed and, try to read the morning newspaper.
No, I don't think many males are going to volunteer for the job. I know I don't want it. So, thanks, mom! I'll do what I can to create a national holiday for housewives. It could be appropriately called Wonder Woman Day.
By what means do the children of the author's family go to school？
A．They take school bus.
B．They take a taxi.
C．Their mother drives for them.
D．Scout troop sends them to school.

Escaping a fire is a serious matter. Knowing what to do before a fire breaks out can save a life. For example, people should know the safety measures to take before opening a hall door during a fire. Also, make sure everyone knows how to unlock doors that may be in the escape path. At times, a key is needed to unlock a door from the inside. So, keep the key in the lock, or, you can put the key on a key ring and put it where it can be found easily.
If you live in an apartment, know the ways you can use to get out. Show everyone in the family these routes. Stress the importance of using stairways or fire escapes, not elevators.
From most homes and the lower floors of apartment buildings, escape through windows is possible. Learn the best way of leaving by a window with the least chance of serious injury.
In a home fire, windows are often the only means of escape. The second floor window sill is usually not more than 13 feet from the ground. An average person, hanging by the fingertips, will have a drop of about six to the ground. Of course, it is after to jump a short way than to stay in a burning building. Rolling away from the building when you land.
Windows are also useful when you are waiting for help. Often you'll be able to stay in the room for several minutes if you keep the door closed and the windows open. Keep your head low in the window to be sure you get fresh air rather than smoke that may have leaked into the room.
On a second or third floor, the best windows for escape are those which open onto a roof or balcony. From the roof or balcony, a person can either drop to the ground or await rescuer. Dropping onto cement or pavement might end in injury. Bushes, soft earth, and grass can help to break a fall. A rope ladder should be considered when the drop is too great.
In a town where the fire department acts quickly, it may be best to wait for rescuer. Close the doors and wait by an open window for help. Shout for help. Be sure to close the door before opening a window. Otherwise, smoke and fire may be drawn into the room by the draft.
From most homes you can escape a fire through the ______.
A．attic
B．garage
C．windows
D．balcony

Japanese Car Keeps Watch for Drunk Drivers
？？ Aconcept car developed by Japanese company Nissan has a breathalyzer-likedetection system and other instruments that could help keep drunk or over tireddrivers off the road.？？
？？ Thecar's sensors check odors inside the car and monitor a driver's sweat fortraces of alcohol. An in-car computer system can issue an alert or even lock upthe ignition system if the driver seems over- the-limit. The air odor sensorsare fixed firmly and deeply in the driver and passenger seats,while a de-tector in the gear-shift knob measures perspiration from the driver's palm.？？
？？ Othercarmakers have developed similar detection systems. For example,Sweden's Volvohas de- veloped a breathalyzer attached to a car's seat belt that drivers mustblow into before the engine will start？？
？？ Nissan'snew concept vehicle also includes a dashboard-mounted camera that tracks adrivers alertness by monitoring their eyes. It will sound an alarm and issue aspoken warning in Japanese or English if it judges that the driver needs topull over and rest.？？
？？ The cartechnology is still in development, but general manager Kazuhiro Doi says thecombination of different detection systems should improve the overalleffectiveness of the technology. "For exam- ple,if the gear-shift sensorwas bypassed by a passenger using it instead of the driver,the facial recog-nition system would still be used," Doi says. Nissan has no specifictimetable for marketing the sys- tem, but aims to use technology to cut thenumber of fatalities involving its vehicles to half 1995 levels by 2015.？？
？？ Thecar's seat belt can also tighten if drowsiness is detected, while an externalcamera checks that the car is keeping to its lane properly. However,Doi admits that some of thetechnology,such as the alcohol odor sen- sor,should be improved "If you drink one beer,it's going toregister, so we need to study what's the appropri- ate level for the system toactivate," he says？？
？？ In th？？e UK,someresearch groups are using similar advanced techniques to understand driverbe-havior and the effectiveness of different road designs.？？
？？Which of the following statements is NOTtrue of the Japanese concept care？？？？
A.It has a sensor system that could issue a warning if the driver is drunk
B.It has sensors that detect traces of alcohol inside the car
C.It has sensors locked up in the ignition system
D.It has a breathalyzer-like detection system
