16、lot of the GPS units is they have a very small screen and they just tell you the next turn.Because they just give you the next turn,sometimes that means that it is not really giving you the overview that you would need to know that its going to the wrong place.”Barry Brown once worked on a project w
17、ith Eric Laurier from the University of Edinburgh.The two men studied the effects of GPS devices on driving by placing cameras in peoples cars.They wrote a paper based on their research.It is called “The Normal,Natural Troubles of Driving with GPS”.It lists several areas where GPS systems can cause

32、Fairchild is getting worried about our trek over the Lolo Trail-95 miles from Lolo Montana to Weippe in Idaho,across the roughest country in the West.Lewis and Clark were nearly defeated 200 years ago by snowstorms on the Lolo.Today Fairchild is nervously checking the weather reports.He has agreed t
33、o take me across the toughest,middle section of the trail.When Lewis climbed on top of Lemhi Pass,140 miles south of Missoula,on Aug.12,1805,he was astonished by what was in front of him;“high mountain chains still to the West of us with their tops partially covered with snow.”Nobody in what was the
34、n the US knew the Rocky Mountains existed,with peaks twice as high as anything in the Appalachians back East.Today their pathway through those mountains holds more attraction than any other ground over which they traveled,for its raw wilderness is an evidence to the character of two cultures:the exp
35、lorers who braved its hardships and the Native Americans who prize and 7conserve the path as a sacred (神圣的)gift.It remains today the same condition as when Lewis and Clark walked it.The Lolo is passable only from July to mid-September.Our luck is holding with the weather,although the snow keeps gett
36、ing deeper.As we climb to Indian Post Office,the highest point on the trail at 7,033 ft,we have covered 13 miles in soft snow,and we hardly have enough energy to make dinner.After a meal of chicken,I sit on a rock on top of the ridge (山脊）.There is no light visible in any direction,not even another c
37、ampfire.For four days we do not see another human being.We are occupied with the things that mix fear with joy.In our imagination we have finally caught up with Lewis and Clark.28.We learn from the text that before 1805 .A.The Rocky Mountains were wholly covered with snowB.there were no people livin

At first glan
41、ce,the holiday season in western economies seems a treat for those concerned with such vagaries (奇想）as GDP growth.After all,everyone is spending;in America,retailers make 25% of their yearly sales and 60% 8of their profits between Thanksgiving and Christmas.Even so,economiwsts find something to worr
42、y about in the nature of the purchases being made.Much of the holiday spending is on gifts for others.At the simplest level,giving gifts involves the giver thinking of something that the recipient would like-he tries to guess her preferences,as economists say-and then buying the gift and delivering
43、it.Yet this guessing of preferences is not easy;indeed,it is often done badly.Every year,ties go unworn and books unread.And even if a gift is enjoyed,it may not be what the recipient would have bought if they had spent the money themselves.Interested in this mismatch between wants and gifts,in 1993
44、 Joel Waldfogel,then an economist at Yale University,sought to estimate the difference in dollar terms.In a research,he asked students two questions at the end of a holiday season:first,estimate the total amount paid (by the givers) for all the holiday gifts you received;second,apart from the sentim
45、ental value of the items,if you did not have them,how much would you be willing to pay to get them? His results were gloomy:on average,a gift was valued by the recipient well below the price paid by the giver.In addition,recipients may not know their own preferences very well.Some of the best gifts,
46、after all,are unexpected items that you would never have thought of buying,but which turn out to be especially well picked.And preference can change.So by giving a jazz CD,for example,the giver may be encouraging the recipient to enjoy something that was ignored before.This,a desire to build skills,
47、is possibly the hope held by many parents who ignore their childrens desires for video games and buy them books instead.Finally,there are items that a recipient would like to receive but not purchase.If someone else buys them,however,they can be enjoyed guilt-free.This might explain the high volume
48、of chocolate that changes over the holidays.Thus,the lesson for gift-givers is that you should try hard to guess the preference of each person on your list and then choose a gift that will have a high sentimental value.32.The word “sentimental” in Paragraph 3 is close to “ ”A.intelligent B.emotional
