This month，Germany's transport minister，Alexander Dobrindt，proposed the first set of rules for autonomous vehicles（自主駕駛車(chē)輛）．They would define the driver's role in such cars and govern how such cars perform in crashes where lives might be lost．
    The proposal attempts to deal with what some call the "death valley" of autonomous vehicles：the grey area between semi-autonomous and fully driverless cars that could delay the driverless future．
   Dobrindt wants three things：that a car always chooses property（財(cái)產(chǎn)） damage over personal injury；that it never distinguishes between humans based on age or race；and that if a human removes his or her hands from the driving wheel - to check email，say - the car's maker is responsible if there is a crash．
   "The change to the road traffic law will permit fully automatic driving，" says Dobrindt．It will put fully driverless cars on an equal legal footing to human drivers，he says．
   Who is responsible for the operation of such vehicles is not clear among car makers，consumers and lawyers． "The liability（法律責(zé)任） issue is the biggest one of them all，" says Natasha Merat at the University of Leeds，UK．
   An assumption behind UK insurance for driverless cars，introduced earlier this year，insists that a human "be watchful and monitoring the road" at every moment．
   But that is not what many people have in mind when thinking of driverless cars． "When you say 'driverless cars'，people expect driverless cars．" Merat says． "You know - no driver．"
   Because of the confusion，Merat thinks some car makers will wait until vehicles can be fully automated without operation．
   Driverless cars may end up being a form of public transport rather than vehicles you own，says Ryan Calo at Stanford University，California．That is happening in the UK and Singapore，where government-provided driverless vehicles are being launched．
   That would go down poorly in the US，however． "The idea that the government would take over driverless cars and treat them as a public good would get absolutely nowhere here，" says Calo．

1．Japan is a nation that appreciates the virtues of silence and good manners.Yet，when it comes to eating noodles，Japanese people can be the loudest in the world.
   According to lifestyle website Grapee.jye.ai，slurping （發(fā)出嘖嘖聲） when eating noodles is encouraged in Japanese culture.It's believed that taking air into your mouth can enhance （提高） the flavor of the noodles and help cool down the food.It's also considered to be a way to show appreciation for the dish.Sometimes，just making the noise alone seems to make the noodles more enjoyable.
   It was not until a new expression - "noodle harassment" -came out on social media that Japanese people started to realize the problem.They found that the slurping noise was making some foreign visitors uncomfortable.
   As a response，Japanese instant noodle maker Nissin introduced a so-called noise-canceling（降噪的） fork last month.The fork looks like an electric toothbrush.It is connected wirelessly to a smartphone.When the person using the fork starts to slurp，the fork will send a signal to the person's phone.Then the phone will play a sound to mask the slurping noise.
   But is it really necessary？Dining traditions and table manners do vary.In India，people eat with their hands.They think they build a connection with the food in this way.However，people who are used to eating with forks might find it unacceptable to get their hands covered in oil or sauce.But this eating method is part of India's culture，just like Japan's slurping is part of its own.
   "So，if you are eating noodles，please slurp as you like，" wrote a Japanese food blogger."If anyone gets annoyed while you are doing that，ignore them.They're missing the point entirely."

（1）Which of the following is NOT the reason for slurping when eating noodles，according to the text？

（2）What does the underlined word "harassment" mean in paragraph 3 mean？

A．Anxiety.
B．Annoyance.
C．Politeness.
D．Appreciation
（3）How does the noise-canceling fork work？

A．The fork removes the slurping noise.
B．The fork can be used as an electric toothbrush.
C．A smartphone reminds the user to stop slurping if a signal is sent to it.
D．A smartphone plays a sound to hide the noise when it receives a signal.
（4）Why does the author mention people in India in this passage？

A．To show that forks are unnecessary in Indian culture.
B．To give an example to show cultural difference are normal.
C．To show India has special dinning tradition and table manners.
D．To tell us the differences in eating habits between India and Japan.

   During the 4th Winter Olympic Games a group of stamps were published in Germany in November 1936.The five rings of Olympics were drawn on the front of the sportswear.It was the first time that the rings had appeared on the stamps of the White Olympics.

   Japan is an Asian country that has ever held the White Olympics.Altogether 14，500 million stamps were sold to raise money for this sports meet.

3．The U.S.is still out in front of global competitors when it comes to innovation（革新），but American universities-where new ideas often spread-have reason to look over their shoulders.
   That's especially true for technologies like 5 G phone networks and artificial intelligence and they're exactly the fields where the U.S.has to lead-and also the ones where Asia，especially China，is catching up.Universities from China get more patents than their U.S.peers in wireless communications，according to research firm GreyB Services.In AI，17 of the top 20 universities and public research organizations are in China，with the Chinese Academy of Sciences topping the list，says the World Intellectual Property Organization in Geneva.
   There's a special place for universities in the development of science.Universities educate future scientists and can be incubators（孵化器）for pie-in-the-sky ideas-some of which turn out to be game-changers.The list ranges from search engines to DNA technology that's behind a whole industry of gene-manipulating（基因編輯）treatments.
   However，government aids to universities haven't been growing for more than a decade，meaning they've declined in real terms and as a share of the economy，leading to the cost increase for universities and meanwhile somehow discouraging the teaching staff from putting all their hearts into their scientific research.
   "If you look at the federal dollars，they've not really changed considerably，" says Stephen Susalka，head of AUTM，a technology transfer association whose members include 800 universities."Other countries are catching up.We can't be satisfied with what we have achieved."

.
A．Chinese universities have obtained more patents than other countries
B．the Chinese government provides aids to Chinese universities
C．wireless communications are changed dramatically these years
D．U.S.universities may lose their lead in some high-tech fields
（3）What is the main idea of Paragraph 3？

A．Universities can be birthplaces of game programmers.
B．Pie-in-the-sky ideas from universities can be revolutionary.
C．Universities play an important role in science development.
D．Gene-manipulation helps to develop DNA technology.
（4）What's Stephen Susalka's attitude towards the future development of U.S.universities？

A．Worried.
B．Disapproving.
C．Positive.
D．Unconcerned.
