27、ll seize the opportunity and enjoy a cup. But it seems nobody else has time like me.When did people become so busy? Sometimes I think it happened when shopping, instead of being a necessity or occasional pleasure, became a form of entertainment. At other times I blame it on the computer, with honora
28、ry mention given to “smart” phones, for creating appetites (欲望) that can never be satisfied, no matter how long we stare at the movable feast on the screen, no matter how fast we type with our fingers.It wasnt always like this.Sundays used to be days of rest, with closed stores and empty highways. A
29、nd then there were the holidays, which were set aside for family time rather than a trip to the mall.But now, I have grown accustomed to the predictability of the answer when I run into a friend or acquaintance and ask, “How are you?” The answer always is “Busy!”Recently I spotted an old friend and
30、I called out to him. He stopped to acknowledge me, but I could tell from his, body language and the checking of his watch that I had disturbed him. “I see youre in a hurry,” I said. “Why dont we get together to catch up?” “I should have a free hour in June,” he said before continuing on his way.“But
31、 this is March!” I remarked.“Check with me in a few months,” he yelled over his shoulder. “I m very busy!”Maybe not getting used to the busy life is my problem, but I agree with what Socrates once said: “Beware (当心) the barrenness (空洞) of a busy life.” Or Robert Frosts poem? “I Could Give All to Tim

36、 its self-driving cars from the streets of San Francisco, California. The action came after a dispute between Uber and state officials over whether the vehicles needed special permits to operate.Uber recently launched testing of its self-driving service in San Francisco. But shortly after the launch
37、, Californias Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) told the company to stop the self-driving vehicles. State officials said the Uber cars needed the same special permit given to about 20 other companies testing self-driving technology in California.But Uber refused to obey and kept its cars on the roa
38、d in San Francisco. The company, which operates a transportation network around the world, is based in San Francisco. Uber argued that its technology does not make vehicles fully autonomous, and so the special permit was not needed. It added that all of Ubers self-driving cars have a driver sitting
39、in the passenger seat to take over if needed.The head of Ubers self-driving technology, Anthony Levandowski, explained the companys position in a blog post. He said the self-driving Uber vehicles do use high-technology tools to assist drivers. But, they are not fully autonomous and require a driver
40、to be at the controls at all times.He compared the technology to solar carmaker Teslas advanced driver assist tools. Telsas Autopilot system allows its cars to steer in a lane, change lanes, and speed up or slow down based on nearby traffic. The company tells drivers that, when using Autopilot, they
41、 should still always be ready to take control of the vehicle.Vehicles equipped with these high-tech driver assist tools do not need a special permit to operate in California.“Its hard to understand why the DMV would seek to require self-driving Ubers to get permits when it accepts that Teslas autopi
42、lot technology does not need them,” Levandowski wrote. “We asked for clarification as to specifically what is different about our tech from the DMV, but have not received it.”Uber and state officials were not able to come to an agreement on the issue. On Wednesday, the DMV said it had canceled the r
43、egistration of Ubers 16 self-driving cars in San Francisco. All U.S. vehicles driven on the road require state registration.In September, Uber got its first U.S. approval to test self-driving vehicles in the city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Uber continues to test the cars and give people the chance
44、 to experience the technology.San Franciscos mayor, Ed Lee, praised the DMV for stopping Ubers self-driving vehicles. He said he supports self-driving development and testing. “But only under conditions that put human, bicyclists and pedestrian safety first.”There were several reports of unsafe inci
45、dents involving Ubers self-driving vehicles in San Francisco. Most involved witnesses claiming they saw Uber vehicles not stopping for red lights.Video of one incident was posted online that appeared to show a self-driving Uber car passing through a red light. Another person posted a photo of what s
46、he said was an Uber self-driving car in the road that did not stop for a red traffic light.In response, Uber said the video of the incident showed why its cars always require close attention from a human driver and therefore do not need a state permit.Uber announced it would send the self-driving ve
47、hicles to the neighboring state of Arizona to begin a new test project there.
