Before the trip, Mr.Gardner, who runs a fly-fishing business in Grayling, Michigan, said he called Verizon to find out what itwould cost to use his cellphone for calls and his wireless card to check e-mails while in Jamaica. He said hewas told that calls would be about $ 2 a minute and that there would be no extra charges for data as he wason an unlimited plan. The latter part turned out to be wrong.“Idontmind paying a fair amount for fair service, but $11,000 for four days isr idiculous, ” said Mr. Gardner, who used his phone carefully and economically on thetrip. He also tried to check and send e-mails using his wireless card, but quickly gave up after the e-mails didntgo through. Still, his Verizon bill said more than 500,000 kilobytes （千字节 ） of data was delivered whilehe was in Jamaica, an amount Mr. Gardner said is 100 times what he normally uses in a month.As travelers increasingly use smart phones abroad in the same way they do at hometocheck e-mails, update Facebook and Twitter and pull up online mapscostly roaming fees, which providers charge when customers use their phones outsidetheir service area. In fact, roaming charges have gotten so out of hand that the Federal CommunicationsCommission has proposed a plan that would require wireless companiesto send their customers a voice or text message when they are approaching their planslimit, when theyhave reached that limit and when they are starting to result in roaming fees.1.

It came from onefilmmaker sinterpretation of themeaning of “ Better City, Better Life ”.Spanish director Isabel Coixet developed the idea after being asked to con tributeto Expo 2019 Sha nghai.“They asked meto do something to tell the Chinese audienee about Spain in the future and the first thingjumping to my mind was a baby, ”said Coixet.“ If we really fightto have better cars, better cities and better lives,it sfor them for ourchildre n. ”Despite her Spanish heritage, Coixet does ntfocus on making Spanish films or using Spain as the setting.Fans of her various award-winning films, including My LifeWithout Me, The Secret Life of Words and Elegy, may not even be aware ofCoixet sSpanish backgro und.“The borders between countries are just illusion （假象）,” said Coixet. “Somedirectors feel really comfortable telli ng stories that bel ong to theirterritory. ”But Coixet feels the opposite:“ I mmore comfortable outside my country. It givesme a strangefreedom. ”One of her favoritethings about being a director is the freedom.“The thing is thatthe world is wide and this freedom lets you make filmseverywhere,”she said.Coixet scuriositytook her latest exploration and movie work to Japan. In the movieMap of the Sound of Tokyo, the Catala n actor Sergi Lopez is the owner of a wine shop in Tokyo, and Japanese actress Rinko Kikuchi is a young woma n who works both as afishm on ger and as a hired killer.The clash （ 冲突）of the two people svery differe nt worlds and the tan go-likerelati on shipthey develop is just one represe ntati onof what Coixet is able to produceby mixing cultures.While she d oes ntknow if she will shoot a film in Shan ghai, two things have caughther attention: Shanghainese women and crickets （ 蟋蟀）.After just arriving in the city, she was surprised by the mix of old Chinese culturein a booming metropolis.“Behind the skyscrapers, there is a flower and bird marketwith heaps of crickets and birdcagesin,”she said.“I mtotally amazed with thecity.”1.

A stude nt n amed Paula Ceely brought her car to a stopon a remote in Wales. She got out to ope n ametal gate that blocked her path . Thatswhe n she heard the whistle soun ded by the driver of a train. Her Ren ault Clio parked across a railway line.Second later, she watched the train drag her car almost a kilometre dow n the railway tracks.Ceelys n ear miss made the n ews because she blamed it on her GPS device（导航仪）.She had never driven the route before .It was dark and raining heavily. Ceely was relying on her GPS.But it made no men ti on of the cross in g. I put my complete trust in the device and it led me right into thepath of a speedi ng train, she told the BBC.W ho is to blame here? Rick Steve nson, who tells Ceelys story in his book WhenMach ines Fail US, fin ger at the limitatio ns of tech no logy.Weput our faith in digitaldevices, he says,But our digital helpers are too ofte n not up to the job. They are filled withsmall problems. And it snot just GPSdevices:Stevenson takes us on a tour of digital disasters in volvi ngeverythi ng from mobile pho nes to wireless key boards.The problem with his argument in the book is thatit snot clear why he onlyfocuses digital tech no logy, while there may be a nu mber of other possible causes.A map-maker might have left the crossing off a paper map. Maybe we should blame Ceely for not payingattention. Perhaps the railway authorities are at fault for poor sig nali ng system. Or maybe some one hasstudied the relative dan gers and worked out that there really is someth ing specific wrong with the CPSequipme nt. But Steve nson does ntsay.It sa problem that runs through the book. In a section on cars, Stevenson gives an acco unt of the advaneed tech niq ues that crim in als use to defeat computer-based lock ing systems for cars. He offers two indepe ndent sets of figures on car theft; both show a small rise in some parts of the coun try. He says that onceonce aga in not all new locks have proved reliable. Perhaps, but maybeit salso due to theshortage of policeme n on the streets. Or cha nging social circumsta nces. Or some comb in ati on of thesefactors.The game between humans and their smart devices is complex. It is shaped by economics and psychologyand the cultures we live in. Somewhere in the mix of those forces there may be way a wiser use of tech nology.If there is such a way, it should involve more than just an awareness of the shortcomings of our machines.After all, we have lived with them for thousands of years. They have probably been fooling us for just as long.( )1WhatdidPaula Ceelythinkwas the cause of her accident?A.Shewasnotfamiliar withtheroad.B.Itwasdarkand rainingheavilythen.C. The railway works failed to give the signal.D. Her GPS devicedidnttell her about the crossing( ) 2.Thephrasea”“nearmiss ”(paragraph2) can best be replaced by _.A. closebitB. heavy lossC.narrow escapeD. bigmistake( ) 3.Which ofthefollowingwould RickStevenson most probably agreewith?A. Moderntechnology iswhat we cantlive without.B. Digitaltechnologyoften falls shortof out expectation.C. Digitaldevices aremore reliablethan they used to be.D. GPSerroris notthe only causefor Celerysaccident.( ) 4. In thewritersopinion, Stevensonsargument is_A. one-sided B. reasonable C. puzzling D. well-based( ) 5.What is the real concern of the writer of this article?A. The major causes of traffic accidents and car thefts.B.
