33、努力，请不要对她的工作太挑剔了。be particular about“对挑剔” 。.阅读理解Many traffic jams leave drivers puzzled as they finally reach the end of a tailback to find no visible cause for their delay. Now, a team of mathematicians have found the answer by developing a model to show how major delays occur on our roads, with no
34、obvious cause.The model showed that a driver, slowing down below a critical speed (临界速率) when reacting to unexpected events, forces the car behind to slow down further and the next car back to reduce its speed still further. The result of this is that several miles back, cars would finally come to a
35、 stop, with drivers unaware of the reason for their delay. The model predicts that this is a very typical situation on a busy highway (above 15 vehicles per km). The jam moves backwards through the traffic creating a socalled “backward travelling wave”， which drivers may encounter many miles upstrea
36、m, several minutes after it was caused.Drivers and policymakers have not previously known why jams like this occur, though many have put it down to the sheer volume of traffic. While this clearly plays a part in this new theory, the main issue is around the smoothness of traffic flow. According to t
37、he model, heavy traffic will not automatically lead to jams but can be smoothflowing. This model takes into account the time delay in drivers reactions, which leads to drivers braking 12more heavily than would have been necessary if they had identified and reacted to a problem ahead a second earlier
38、.When a driver taps the brake, the traffic may come to a full standstill several miles behind. It really matters how hard a driver brakes a slight braking from a driver who has identified a problem early will allow the traffic flow to remain smooth. Heavier braking, usually caused by a driver reacti
