Japanese Car Keeps Watch for Drunk Drivers

A concept car developed by Japanese Company Nissan has a breathalyzer-like detection system and other instruments that could help keep drunk or over-tired drivers off the road.

The car's sensors check odors inside the car and monitor a driver's sweat for traces of alcohol. An in-car computer system can issue an alert or even leek up the ignition system if the driver seems over-the-limit. The air odor sensors are fixed firmly and deeply in the driver and passenger seats, while a detector in the gear-shift knob measures perspiration from the driver's palm.

Other carmakers have developed similar detection systems. For example, Sweden's Volvo has developed a breathalyzer attached to a car's seat belt that drivers must blow into before the engine will start.

Nissan's new concept vehicle also includes a dashboard-mounted camera that tracks a drivers alertness by monitoring theft eyes. It will sound an alarm and issue a spoken warning in Japanese or English if it judges that the driver needs to pull over and rest.

The car technology is still in development, but general manager Kazuhiro Doi says the combination of different detection systems should improve the overall effectiveness of the technology. "For example, if the gear-shift sensor was bypassed by a passenger using it instead of the driver, the facial recognition system would still be used," Doi says. Nissan has no specific timetable for marketing the system, but aims to use technology to cut the number of fatalities involving its vehicles to half 1995 levels by 2015.

The car's seat belt can also tighten if drowsiness is detected, while an external camera checks that the car is keeping to its lane properly. However, Doi admits that some of the technology, such as the alcohol odor sensor, should be improved. "If you drink one beer, it's going to register, so we need to study what's the appropriate level for the system to activate," he says.

In the UK, some research groups are using similar advanced techniques to understand driver behavior. and the effectiveness of different road designs.

Which of the following statements is NOT true of the Japanese concept car？

A．It has a sensor system that could issue a warning if the driver is drank.

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.

听力原文：M: How are your new neighbors, Betty？

W: They seem nice enough, but they have a son who's driving me crazy.

M: What do you mean？

W: He comes home every night around 10 with his car windows open and radio blaring. It stops as soon as he turns the car off. But by then Brian and Lisa are wide awake.

M: Oh, no.

W: Oh, Yes. Sometimes it takes us until mid-night just to get them settled down again.

M: Have you tried talking to them？

W: We haven't even really met them yet except to say a quick hello. In addition, I just can't open my mouth.

M: You are not going to like them when you do meet them if you keep holding on.

W: I know, but I feel stupid complaining. It isn't that he keeps it blaring all night.

M: But you said it is driving you crazy.

W: Well, you know how early I have to get up to the office. I'm just not getting enough sleep and neither are the kids. They're so irritable when I get home in the afternoon.

M: Maybe you could visit them with a little gift: a plant for the yard or something. Then you could ask about their son whether they have any other children and they'll be sure to ask about yours.

W: Yeah, and then what？

M: Then you could mention that the hardest thing is to get your kids to fall asleep at night？

W: And keep them asleep.

M: That's the idea. And you should do it soon. The longer you wait, the harder it'll be to do it politely.

听力原文：M: Hi, I heard you're looking for a different apartment.

W: Yeah. The place I'm in now is really terrible.

M: It was OK when I was there.

W: The boiler keeps breaking and when it does, we lose the heat for several days at the time.

M: Why doesn't the owner replace it？

W: Well, she said it's cheaper to keep fixing it. She is a nice enough person, just sort of stingy in any case. I'm sick of being cold.

M: Can you get your deposit back if you move？

W: If I give one-month notice, I can get the whole thing back.

M: So what kind of place are you looking for？

W: I think I'll try to get into one of those high rises near the university. There is nothing really special but at least they are new and functional.

M: I heard those buildings are pretty noisy. The walls are thin and you can hear everything going on in the other apartment.

W: Oh. That will never do. I need some place quiet to finish my thesis. I guess I'll have to look at some more ads. Maybe new isn't necessarily better.

M: Why don't you try some of those apartment at Windsor？ They're supposed to be nice.

W: Oh, aren't they awfully expensive？

M: Not really. You'll be surprised at how reasonable some of them are. The problem with being out there is the bus doesn't run that way.

W: That definitely won't be a problem I can afford a car right now. I guess I'd better check a few places here in the city before I make a decision.

A．It's too noisy,
