　　Virtual Driver

　　Driving involves sharp eyes and keen ears, analyzing with a brain, and coordination between hands, feet and brain. A man has sharp eyes and keen ears, analyzes through his brain, and maintains coordination between his hands and brains. He can control a fast-moving car with different parts of his body. 46 Apparently there isn’t anyone in the driver’s cab, but there is in fact a virtual driver. This virtual driver has eyes, brains, hands and feet too. The minicameras on each side of the car are its eyes and are responsible for observing the road conditions ahead of it as well as the traffic to its left and right. If you open the boot, you can see the most important part of the automatic driving system: a built-in computer. 47 The brain is responsible for calculating the speeds objects surrounding the car are moving at, analyzing their position on the road, choosing the right path, and giving orders to the wheel and the control system.

　　In comparison with the human brain, the virtual driver’s best advantage is that it reacts quickly. 48 However, it takes the world’s best racecar driver at least one second to react, and this doesn’t include the time he needs to take action.

　　With its rapid reaction and accurate control, the virtual driver can reduce the accident rate on expressways considerably. In this case, is it possible for us to let it have the wheel3 at any time and in any place? 49 With its limited ability to recognize things, the car can now only travel on expressways.

　　The intelligent car determines its direction by the clear lines that mark the lanes clearly and recognizes vehicles according to their regular shapes. 50 This being the case, people still have high hopes about driverless cars, and think highly intelligent cars are what the cars of the future should be like.

　　A. Experts say that we cannot do that just yet.

　　B. In the near future, intelligent cars will be put into commercial operation.

　　C. This is the brain of the car.

　　D. But how does an intelligent car control itself?

　　E. It completes the processing of the images sent by the cameras within 100 milliseconds.

　　F. However, it cannot recognize moving people and bicycles on ordinary roads that have no clear markings on them.

　　Free Statins With Fast Food Could Neutralize Heart Risk

　　Fast food outlets could provide statin drugs free of 51 so that customers can reduce the heart disease dangers of fatty food, researchers at Imperial College London 52 in a new study.

　　Statins reduce the 53 of unhealthy ”LDL” cholesterol in the blood. A wealth of trial data has proven them to be highly effective at lowering a person’s heart attack 54 .

　　In a paper published in the American Journal of Cardiology，Dr Darrel Francis and colleagues calculate that the reduction in heart attack risk offered by a statin is 55 to offset the increase in heart attack risk from 56 a cheeseburger and drinking a milkshake.

　　Dr Francis, from the National Heart and Lung Institute at Imperial College London，who is the senior author of the study, said:”Statins don’t cut out a11 of the 57 effects of cheeseburgers and French fries. It’s better to avoid fatty food altogether. But we’ve worked out that in terms of your 58 of having a heart attack. Taking a statin can reduce your risk to more or less the same 59 as a fast food meal increases it.” “It’s ironic that people are free to take as many unhealthv condiments in fast food outlets as they 60 , but statins, which are beneficial to heart health, have to be prescribed. It makes sense to make risk-reducing statins available just as easily as the unhealthy condiments that are 61 free of charge. It would cost less than 5 pence per 62 -not much different to a sachet of sugar.” Dr Francis said.

　　When people engage in risky behaviours like driving or smoking, they’re encouraged to take 63 that lower their risk, 1ike 64 a seatbelt or choosing cigarettes with filters. Taking a statin is a rational way of 65 some of the risks of eating a fatty meal.
