          In a class I taught adults． I gave the class an assignment—going to visit someone they loved within the next week and saying，“I love you”．It had to be someone they had  1 said those words to before or at least they hadn’t  2those words with for a long time． It didn’t sound like a very  3 assignment until I realized that most of the students were over 35 and were  4in the decades when they were taught not to express emotions  5 ． So this was a very threatening assignment for some．

         At the beginning of our  6class，I asked if someone wanted to share what  7when he/she told someone he/she loved him/her． I  8 expected one of the women to volunteer，as was usually the  9 ， but this time one of the men raised his hand and said，“Dennis，I was quite angry with you last week  10you gave us this assignment． I didn’t feel that I had anyone to say those  11to，and besides，why did you tell us to do something 12？But as I began driving home my conscience started   13 me． It was telling me that I knew exactly who I 14to say “I love you” to． Five years ago，my father and I had a serious disagreement． Since then，we  15 seeing each other unless we absolutely had to meet at Christmas or other family  16 ． But even then，we hardly spoke to each other． Last Tuesday I got home and  17 myself to tell my father I loved him． He was shocked and then burst out  18 ． He said he always loved 19 ． ”

    She responded, “I'm blind. I feel you're8 me.”

    My parents were in a huge argument, and I was really upset about it. I didn't know who I should talk with about how I was feeling. So I asked Mom to allow me to stay the night at my best friend's house. Though I knew I wouldn't tell her about my parents' situation, I was looking forward to getting out of the house. I was in the middle of packing up my things when suddenly the power went out in the neighborhood. Mom came to tell me that I should stay with my grandpa until the power came back on.

    I was really disappointed because I felt that we did not have much to talk about. But I knew he would be frightened alone in the dark. I went to his room and told him that I'd stay with him until the power was restored. He was quite happy and said, “Great opportunity.”

    “What is it?” I asked.

    “To talk, you and I” he said. “To hold a private little meeting about what we're going to do with your mom and dad, and what we're going to do with ourselves now that we're in the situation we are in.”

    “But we can't do anything about it. Grandpa,” I said, surprised that here was someone with whom I could share my feelings and someone who was in the same “boat” as I was.

    And that's how the most unbelievable friendship between my grandfather and me started. Sitting in the dark, we talked about our feelings and fears of life — from how fast things change to how they sometimes don't change fast enough. That night, because the power went out, I found a new friend, with whom I could safely talk about all my fears and pains, whatever they may be. Suddenly, the lights all came back on. “Well,” he said, “I guess that means you'll want to go now. I really like our talk. I hope the power will go out every few nights!”

    Global Positioning System (GPS) is now a part of everyday driving in many countries. It is a space-based system that provides position and time information in all weather conditions. GPS can help people get to where they want to go.When this happens, the driver is often to blame. Sometimes a GPS error is responsible. Most often, it is a combination of the two.

    Barry Brown, a GPS technologist, took an incident as an example. His friend once flew to an airport in the eastern United States. There he borrowed a GPS-equipped car to use. He wrongly plugged in the home address in the west. It wasn't until he was driving for thirty minutes that he realized it. Mr. Brown says this is a common human error. But he says, “One problem is that GPS has a very small screen and it can just tell you the next turn.”

    “The Normal and Natural Troubles of Driving with GPS” lists several areas where GPS can cause difficulties. They include maps that are outdated, incorrect or difficult to understand. GPS may fail due to these reasons and then lead to confusion for the drivers.

    Although GPS sometimes causes difficulties when people are driving, the most attractive point of this system is its 100% coverage on the planet. It is important for you to have to know what you are doing when you use GPS. You need to have the “ability” to be able to use GPS because it sometimes goes wrong.

A. There are quite a few situations showing the problems of using GPS.

B. That means that it is not really telling you about going to the wrong place.

C. This space-based system is an important tool for civil and commercial users.

D. But sometimes it sends you to the wrong place or leaves you completely lost.

E. They also contain timing problems related to when GPS commands are given.

F. Advances in technology play an active role in modernizing GPS in many ways.

G. To make GPS well used, you need a good understanding of how drivers and GPS work.
