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

听力原文:M: How did you like yesterday's astronomy class?
W: It was interesting. But the point she was trying to make seemed a little far-fetched.
M: Oh, that new theory that ocean water came from comets?
W: Yeah. Do you remember what it was based on?
M: Some recent satellite photos, I think. Apparently, Space satellites recently detected thousands of small comets colliding. with earth's outer atmosphere, almost 40,000 per day.
W: OK, they're collided with atmosphere. So that's what created the water?
M: It's not the collision, that created water. Comets contain water. They're made up mostly of cosmic dust and water. When they collide with the atmosphere, they break up. And the water they contain rains down to earth. Ocean water came from that rain.
W: Oh well, this morning I asked my geology professor about that. He said that most geologists don't accept it.
M: Why not?
W: Special research indicates that most of the water molecules from the comet would have burned up as they fell through the atmosphere. Enough rain couldn't have reached the earth to fill up the ocean.
M: Well, did the geologists have an alternative theory to explain where ocean water came from?
W: Yeah, he said the more traditional view is that the ocean water came from volcanoes.
M: From volcanoes?
W: Right. They say volcanic fumes are mostly steam. And they claimed that it was the volcanic steam that created the oceans, not rain from comets.
(20)
A.The effect of the atmosphere on rainfall.
B.How water originated on earth.
C.How conditions on earth support life.
D.A new estimate of the age of earth.

In 1985, the Coca-cola company made the decision to change the formula of its leading soft drink. (1985年,可口可乐公司决定改变他们主要的软饮料的配方)The change was based on the findings of many market studies. These studies had shown that the general response to the new product was good. However, the change of the traditional Coca-cola by New Coke was rejected by the majority of drinkers. In fact, the company had to step back and restart production of the old formula of Coca-cola.
The most important reason why New Coke was rejected was the emotional relationship that existed between drinkers and the old soft drink formula. Drinking Coca-cola had become a tradition for many people over its 99 years of existence. The change made by the company was not only in Coke’s formula but also in the traditional values and memories that it represented to the drinkers. “We had taken away more than the product Coca-cola. We had taken away a little part of them and their past.” The drinkers rejected this “improvement”, because “they believed that Coke stood for traditional value...so they felt betrayed when the product changed completely overnight”.
Although a lot of research was done by Coca-cola company, it didn’t show the depth of drinkers’emotion for the product. The studies took many forms, but none of the tests was able to measure the degree of personal and emotional reactions caused by the disappearance of the old, traditional Coca-cola. The weakness of the research was that it was mainly quantitative in form. The result was only numbers that could not show the deep meaning the product had for many people. A more extensive study focusing on the qualitative aspects of the change would perhaps have been able to demonstrate the close relationship existing between drinkers and product.

A.it led the soft drink industry in the market

2.According to the passage, the drinkers rejected New Coke because of __________.
A.the late response to the market by Coca-cola company

D.the emotional relationship between the drinkers and the old soft drink
3.The product Coca-cola was believed to stand for __________.
A.traditional values and good memories
B.traditional customs and happy days
C.past honors and efficient management
D.top quality and wonderful taste
4.Which of the following statements is true?
A.Research by Coca-cola considered emotional factors.
B.Coca-cola did little research before they made the change.
C.Research by Coca-cola was quantitative rather than qualitative.
D.Research by Coca-cola was both quantitative and qualitative.
5.The author of the article clearly indicates that __________.
A.the weakness of the research could have been removed
B.Coca-cola should have measured the quantitative factors more carefully
C.Coca-cola should have done a more extensive qualitative study
