would be of great help in this regard,since most parents do not know whichbooks suit their childrens reading levels the most.An effective classification system for childrens books would helpovercome this problem.Chinese bookstores,online or offline,still prefer to use age rather than reading ability to categorize what they sell.In fact,reading ability and interests vary from child to child even when they are at the same age.This early form ofclassification is accepted by most bookstores and publishers,yet many young readers get books that are nowhere neartheir targeted reading levels.China has at least 200 million children under the age of 14,and their enthusiasm for reading has increased over theyears.The publishers of childrens books should try to introduce a juvenile-centered classification system to help theirreaders choose books that are suitable for their reading abilities.Some dont trust the call for more effective book classification,mentioning the need for youngsters to readextensively and avoid restricting themselves to one or two categories.There is a strong case for resisting selectivereading,but not book classification,which is designed to help young children develop good reading habits and hold ontothem in the long run.Studies have found that kids are less likely to be into reading if they have not developed such a habit before the ageof 10.That said,it is in their best interests to adopt targeted reading during childhood,as this can greatly improve theircomprehension abilities.So greater efforts should be put into designing a book classification system that meets the needsof young readers.1、A proper book classification system s houl dA.be on an age basisB.limit readers to one or two categoriesC.help readers get books suitable for their reading levelsD.benefit all the bookstores and publishers2、What does the underlined word“them”in Paragraph 5 refer to?A.Young children.B.Publishers.C.Reading levels.D.Reading habits.3、What do we know

books.D.Youngsters dont need to read extensively.4、Whafs the authors attitude towards the current book classification system?A.DissatisHed.B.Ambiguous.C.Supportive.D.Unconcerned.2 5.（10 分）The dangers of drowsy（昏昏欲睡）driving have been widely known.Now several companies havedeveloped face-tracking technology that can tell when drivers become dangerously sleepy.Here is how it might work.A camera in your car monitors your facial expression,compares it to a database ofexpressions and determines if you are likely sleepy or distracted.The car then alerts you to pay attention or puli over.Affectiva

is another company working in facial analytics.Modar Alaoui,the companys CEO,said that its softwaredetects“eye openness99 in addition to other facial indicators.The software can also read head position,which mayindicate when someone begins to nod off.These technologies arent the first attempt to fight drowsiness behind the wheel.Inventors came up with the similardevice“sleeper beeper“to prevent sleep in cars back in 1983.The sleeper beeper was attached to a drivers ear andwould issue a noisy warning when the drivers head nodded past a certain point.But the latest software would intervene（干涉）earlier and more effectively.1、The camera in the car can determine if a driver is A.cold-blooded B.near-sightedC.bad-tempered D.absent-minded2、When will drivers be reminded to pay
