单项选择题

听力原文：Man: This is it. I know that it is smaller than you wanted, but it is one of the nicest apartments in the building.
Woman: Does it have three bedrooms?
Man: No. There are two. The master bedroom is quite spacious though. Maybe you could let the children share the larger room, and you and your husband could use the smaller one.
Woman: I suppose that I could do that.
Man: A three-bedroom apartment will be difficult to find.
Woman: Yes, I know. Believe me, I have been looking for over a week. The few three-bedroom apartments that I have found are either extremely expensive or the owner won't allow children as tenants.
Man: Well, the owner allows two children in this apartment complex.
Woman: Aren't you the owner?
Man: No, I'm the manager. I live here, too, on the first floor of this building.
Woman: Oh. That's nice. Then if anything gets broken ...
Man: Just leave the note on my door.
Woman: You said that the rent would be 350 dollars a month. Does that include any of the utilities?
Man: Yes. It includes gas. Your furnace and stove are gas, so, as you can imagine, your other utilities, electric and water, are quite inexpensive.
Woman: This sounds better and better. But before I sign a lease I would like my husband to see it.
Man: Why not stop by with him this evening?
Woman: How late are you open? He doesn't get off work until five.
Man: Come by at six. I will still be in the office. I am sure that you are eager to move from the hotel, and if we get the paper work out of the way tonight, you can move in tomorrow.
Woman: Oh, that would be wonderful.

Smart Cars, Intelligent Highways
Smart features of cars today
Cars today are smart. No, they may not be smart enough to change their own oil or find the lost coins in their seats, but they are smart and getting smarter. The average car today has more computing power than the 1969 Apollo 11 spacecraft that carried the first astronauts to the moon. Every car produced today has at least one computer for monitoring fuel consumption and pollution controls, The average car uses twelve computerized devices, and high-end cars have many more, controlling everything from the sunroof to the braking system. In the near future, cars may be virtually stuffed with computer chips from front fender to taillight. That's because motorists enjoy computerized gadgets(器具), and providing these little devices is cheaper for automakers than building a better engine or making other engineering changes that might actually be more important.
Many of the smart features we are seeing today are safety-related. Some are systems to avoid collisions. These may use sonar, radar, lasers, computers, or video cameras, or some combination of these. These systems beep or warn drivers with a voice signal if the vehicle gets too close to an object or another vehicle or if it strays out of its lane. The system can suggest actions to the driver or even temporarily take control to avoid accidents. Another safety device is a smart airbag system. To deploy airbags with the minimum necessary force, sensors determine an occupant's weight and size and the severity of impact. This system should reduce the number of children hurt by airbags that open too vigorously. Another system can automatically notify emergency services that an accident has happened and, using a Global Positioning System (GPS), can pinpoint the location of the vehicle for police and rescue units. This 'mayday(呼救信号)system' can save precious minutes and many lives.
One of the most convenient aspects of smart cars is their ability to navigate. Drivers tell them where they want to go and then, by means of a GPS navigation device and computerized maps, smart cars can figure out the best ways to reach the drivers' destinations. The cars can show the information on a map or give drivers voice directions. They can even correct drivers if they make a mistake ('I TOLD you to turn LEFT back there; you idiot!'). Using communication devices connected to the Internet, cars can inform. drivers of problems ahead construction work, traffic jams, and accidents — and then suggest different routes to the drivers' offices, favorite pizza places, or closest shopping malls.
Problems existed
Smart cars create problems as well, however. One problem is how to control all this automotive technology. More buttons take more of the drivers' attention. Even voice controls are distracting for drivers. A recent study showed that drivers talking on handheld cell phones were four times more likely to be involved in accidents as drivers who were not. In fact, drivers using cell phones were almost as likely to be involved in accidents as those who were legally intoxicated(醉酒的). Using voice controls, even a hands-free system, might prove to be as distracting as chatting on the phone. Nevertheless, the auto industry's answer to the control problem so far has been voice control. When it comes to simple tasks -- changing channels on the radio or opening the trunk -- voice controls work well enough. But it is probably not the best method for directing more difficult operations such as navigating the Internet or controlling the car itself. Engine noise, highway noise, and the music on the stereo tend to garble(扭曲) instructions, and voice recognition systems often cannot decipher(识别) strong accents.
