A student named Paula Ceely brought her car to a stop on a remote in Wales. She got out to open a metal gate that blocked her path . Thats when she heard the whistle sounded by

23、 the driver of a train. Her Renault Clio parked across a railway line. Second later, she watched the train drag her car almost a kilometre down the railway tracks.Ceelys near miss made the news because she blamed it on her GPS device(导航仪).She had never driven the route before .It was dark and rainin

24、g heavily. Ceely was relying on her GPS. But it made no mention of the crossing. “I put my complete trust in the device and it led me right into the path of a speeding train,“ she told the BBC.W ho is to blame here? Rick Stevenson, who tells Ceelys story in his book When Machines Fail US, finger at

25、the limitations of technology. We put our faith in digital devices, he says,But our digital helpers are too often not up to the job. They are filled with small problems. And its not just GPS devices: Stevenson takes us on a tour of digital disasters involving everything from mobile phones to wireles

26、s key boards.The problem with his argument in the book is that its not clear why he only focuses digital technology, while there may be a number of other possible causes. A map-maker might have left the crossing off a paper map. Maybe we should blame Ceely for not paying attention. Perhaps the railw

27、ay authorities are at fault for poor signaling system. Or maybe someone has studied the relative dangers and worked out that there really is something specific wrong with the CPS equipment. But Stevenson doesnt say.Its a problem that runs through the book. In a section on cars, Stevenson gives an ac

28、count of the advanced techniques that criminals use to defeat computer-based locking systems for cars. He offers two independent sets of figures on car theft; 7both show a small rise in some parts of the country. He says that once once again not all new locks have proved reliable. Perhaps, but maybe

29、 its also due to the shortage of policemen on the streets. Or changing social circumstances. Or some combination of these factors.The game between humans and their smart devices is complex. It is shaped by economics and psychology and the cultures we live in. Somewhere in the mix of those forces the

30、re may be way a wiser use of technology. If there is such a way, it should involve more than just an awareness of the shortcomings of our machines. After all, we have lived with them for thousands of years. They have probably been fooling us for just as long.( ) 1 .What did Paula Ceely think was the

36、er, you can identify two parts of the problem: There is, of course，the matter of “time” ， which we can think of as fixed. Then there is the problem of “work” during that time. But, as my professor suggested, its not how hard one works but the quality of the product thats important.That led me to a n

37、ew idea: the quality of the work. That concept is perhaps best explained by a sign I once saw on the wall in someones office：“Dont work harder. Work smarter.” There is a lot of sense in that idea.9If you cant get more time, the only solution is to improve the quality of the work. That means thinking

38、 of ways to get more out of the same time than we might otherwise get. That should lead us to an analysis of our work habits. Since “work” for students usually means “homework”， the expression “work habits” should be read as “study habits”Then, as a smart student, you will seek to improve those skil

39、ls that you use in study，chiefly reading and writing.
