That is just one of the newer gimmicks that make the modem car so much more comfortable to drive than those produced not so long ago. Another innovation is the self-adjusting seat. When you put the key in the car door, the front seat will automatically adjust itself to the driver's preferred driving position.
These ideas were dreamt up at General Motors' research laboratories in Detroit. The laboratory was set up in the mid-sixties, in response to consumer groups who attacked the company for its safety record. Since then, the company has set itself an impossible goal: that you'll be able to walk away from most car accidents. It spends roughly one billion US dollars every year on safety research.
The company is working on helping drivers survive crashes at higher speeds. The idea is that the driver won't fly out of the car because of his seat belt, He won't be crushed by the side door coming in because it will be strengthened by a side beam. His ribs won't be crushed, nor his organs injured by the steering wheel, because it will bend when the body hits it. His face won't be slashed by broken glass because the windscreen won't shatter.
Every year, the total world-wide bill for injuries of all types is estimated at US $ 500 billion. Transport injuries of all sorts account for one quarter of this. This gives some indication of the size of the problem the scientists working at General Motors' research laboratory have set themselves.
"Not any more." in paragraph one indicates that ______.
A.the sun is no longer as hot these days
B.the car's air-conditioner can make the interior cooler
C.the painful experience doesn't exist any longer
D.the driver doesn't need to wait before he gets in the ear now
A.room
B.the room
C.rooms
D.many rooms
A.room

D.many rooms
听力原文:W: Excuse me, would you mind answering a few questions?
M: Well, I don't know. I am in rather a hurry actually.
W: It won' t take a moment. We' re doing a public opinion poll on some important political questions to try to find out if the Government really has support for its policies. The results are going to be published in a national newspaper.
M: Oh, all right, then.
W: Thanks. Well, I'll read out statements and you have to say whether you agree strongly, agree, disagree, disagree strongly or just don't know. OK?

M: They shouldn' t do that when they' re on normal duty. But if they' re chasing a criminal who they know has got a gun, then they should .be armed as well.
W: OK, next question. "Britain should drive on the right-hand side of the road."
M: What rubbish! Why doesn't everybody else drive on the left?
W: All right. One more question: "Britain should leave the EEC."
M: That' s nasty. I wash' t in favor of us joining, but I think it would be difficult to leave now. I think we'll just have to stay in and make the best of it.

We meet fear and worry every day. But when fear and worry cause us to lose our head, things get really bad. During the 1930's we were in deep trouble as a country. One out of three people was out of work. F. D. R. said, "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." He knew that if Americans looked at their troubles with a clear head, they would work out of them.
Did you ever hear the story of Kelly? One day, Kelly walked over to her neighbor Casey to borrow his wheelbarrow. On the way Kelly started to think, "What if Casey isn't home?" A few steps further the thought hit Kelly. "What if his wheelbarrow is broken?" Kelly was getting more and more upset by "What if". Kelly began to say to herself, "What if Casey won't lend me the wheelbarrow?"
By the time she rang Casey's bell Kelly was in an angry mood. Casey came to the door and greeted Kelly in a friendly way. Kelly pulled back and let Casey have one on the jaw, "Keep your dam wheelbarrow," growled Kelly as she walked back to her house.

A.play a "safe" game.
B.become nervous.
C.forget what the score was.
D.play a relaxed game.
