Sh

32、 “Theyre very unforgiving,“ Baldwin said. “If you miss a turn, they can almost seem to get angry.“That style of directions also can be frustrating for people who prefer more general instructions. But such broad directions can confuse drivers who prefer route directions, Baldwin said.Perhaps manufact

33、urers should allow drivers to choose the style of directions they want, or modify systems to present some information in a way that makes sense10 for people who prefer the survey style, she said.Interestingly, other research has shown that about 60 percent of men prefer the survey style, while 60 pe

This explains the classic little thing of why men dont like to stop and ask for directions and women do, Baldwin added.（分数：15.00）(1).Which statement is true of the description in the first two paragraphs?（分数：3.00）A.If Coyne had stopped the car in tim

It is very symbolic,“ says Hugues Richard, a 31-year-old Frenchman who holds the record for cycling up to the towers second floor 747 steps in 19 minutes and 4

44、 seconds, without touching the floor with his feet. “Its iron lady, it inspires us,“ he says.But to what? After all, the tower doesnt have a purpose. It ceased to be the worlds tallest in 1930 when the Chrysler Building went up in New York. Yes, television and radio signals are beamed from the top,

45、and Gustave Eiffel, a frenetic builder who died on December 27, aged 91, used its height for conducting research into weather, aerodynamics and radio communication.But in essence the tower inspires simply by being there a bland canvas for visitors make of it what they will. To the technically minded
