8、as a way to communicate the cars intention,but decided it would probably not work universallyThe option of using symbols was also discarded,because research shows that a majority of people do not have a good understanding of what they meanFinally,the researchers settled on light signalsA white light
9、 warned that there were no humans in the car. A slow blinking one indicated that the car was coming to a stop,while a rapidly flashing light cautioned passersby that the car was about to accelerateThen came the big challengetesting the signals on real roads“We needed to try out this new lighting to
10、communicate the intention of the vehicle,but if youve got a driver behind the seat,you still have natural communication between humans,”said Andy Shaudt,who led the Virginia Tech research team“So we needed to make it look like a driverless ear”The team designed a car seat costume(戏装)that the driver

16、me to make peace with the fact that my two children attended our local public primary school. Theyll go to a private high school, I told myself. Yet here we are. My eldest is now in her last year of primary school, and my husband and I will struggle to afford private school. If so, I could increase
17、my work hours. My law degree was supposed to be my ticket to a good job and a solid income, but thats not quite how it turned out.During many sleepless nights, I felt troubled by the decision.

24、the ocean and slowly poisoning our sea creatures. Researchers recently also found that sea creatures living in the deepest place on Earth, the Mariana Trench, have plastic in their stomachs. Indeed, the oceans are drowning in plastic.Though it seems now that the world couldnt possibly function witho
25、ut plastics, consumer plastics are a remarkably recent invention. The first plastic bags were introduced in the 1950s, the same decade that plastic packaging began gaining in popularity in the United States. This growth has happened so fast that science is still catching up with the change. Plastics

30、 how to dispose(处理) of it. We know how to recycle. We can all start by thinking twice before we use single use plastic products.
