A number of Americans predict that driverless cars will revolutionize the form of travelling in cities and on highways However, recent experiments have shown that autonomous vehicles also have the potential to improve the quality of life for millions of Americans, especially the elderly and disabled, so long as the government and lawmakers carry out smart policies

A retirement community in Alabama which has been transformed by a small group of driverless taxis shows the potential of self-driving cars to change people's lives in America. Although the modified Ford Fusions are currently limited to a two-mile road, residents are already having the benefits of them to take part in social

activities which they would otherwise be unable to enjoy simply because they could not get to them.

When the experimental run finally reaches 15 miles of road, these residents whose average age is 77 will also have a convenient and reliable new way to keep their appointments. Because these cars continue to serve residents there, it is not difficult to understand why California is gradually simplifying regulations for the business.

In New Jersey, ahead-thinking policies have the potential to unlock other hidden benefits of autonomous vehicles, especially for those with physical disabilities . The New Jersey Disability Righted for the development of this technology , saying that it could give people with disabilities greater opportunities in the workforce and enable them to lead more satisfying and independent lives.

Many Americans admit that autonomous vehicles will be the future of transportation, but it is too often overlooked that this future cannot arrive fast enough for millions of Americans on others for day-to-day travel. The policymakers should follow the lead of places like California and New Jersey, and pass regulations to unlock these hidden benefits of driverless cars.

A wise person learns from everyone. Even stories in newspapers, magazines, and online posts can show better ways of being and enhance(增进）our character and kindness.

One such story caught my eye the other day when I was reading https://www.360docs.net/doc/5b7610295.html,. It was a story about Drew Brees, who recently became the NFL's all-time career passing yards leader(传球码数第一人）. This is difficult to do and certainly a cause for celebration.

But Brees wanted to do something special-for all those who helped him set the record. Instead of enjoying his personal glory, he recognized that he couldn't have achieved this alone and he wanted to thank all those who assisted him in achieving this goal.

He then found out the mailing addresses of about 174 people who met this qualification(资格）, and acted. Each of those people will receive a football with their name and contributions in time for the holidays. Also included is a letter personally signed by Brees thanking each person for their assistance.

That's what I call a thank-you ! It was thoughtful ; it required effort ; it was personal . I can learn from Brees's actions . I can become a better giver-take more time, use more effort, be more thoughtful, make it more personal and, most of all, add something in writing that speaks of my relationship with the receiver.

I was taught many years ago that birthdays are a greet time for expressing gratefulness , and that instead of receiving presents, we should be giving them-to all those who helped us get where we are.

But it doesn't have to be limited to birthdays. Anytime we are given acknowledgement(认可）for our achievements, it's suitable to thank all those who got us there . A verbal thank-you is a good and important start . But the more thoughtful ,the more personal , the better.

The most important lesson that I've learned from Mr. Brees is that in the moments of our greatest achievements, we have to stop and thank the many people that assisted us .

1.How can online post stories benefit us according to the author?

A. Provide us with amusement.

B . Tell us about the latest events

C . Teach us to be better persons .

D. Help us develop the reading habit.

2. What special thing did Brees want to do?

A. Celebrate his achievements.

B . Publish a book about his personal glory .

C. Meet 174 of his supporters in person

D. Express appreciation of others' help with gifts and letters.

3.How should we thank people in the author's eyes?

A. Loudly and publicly.

B. Personally and secretly.

C. Casually and creatively.

D. Personally and thoughtfully.

4. Which is the best title for the passage ?

A. Reading Makes Me Become a Wise Person

B. Drew Brees's Lesson in Kindness

C. Giving Is Far Better than Receiving

D. Drew Brees: NFL's All-Time Career Passing Yards Leader
