Before engineers dreamed of eliminating drivers in cars, they imagined eliminating the side mirrors. Now a long-sought solution looks closer to finally stripping cars of side mirrors. Many automakers demonstrate video systems that replace the Mickey Mouse ears with cameras. Continental, a major parts and systems supplier to automakers, was one of them. In a customized Mercedes-Benz CLS, Continental demonstrated how its system would work. Thumb-size video cameras on the exterior of the car replace the side-mounted mirrors and use interior screens on the left and right side of the dashboard to deliver views of what is next to and behind the car. The screens are near where a driver would normally look to check a mirror, and the camera views are wider than what a physical mirror can provide, eliminating blind spots along the side of the car. The cameras, which can automatically adjust to reduce glare from sunlight or increase brightness at night, are also helpful in tight parking spots. Technology suppliers hope that regulations requiring old-fashioned physical mirrors will be amended. Philipp Hoffmann, BMW’s project manager for camera monitor systems expected to begin road testing of the mirrorless systems in Europe this year, quickly followed by additional testing in Asia. He remained hopeful that the United States would follow soon. He may have a good reason to be optimistic. Daimler AG, parent company of Mercedes-Benz, is already testing a couple of autonomous tractor-trailers in Nevada that use large high-definition screens instead of side mirrors. Also, BMW recently received an exemption from the Transportation Department in the U.S. to allow it to deploy an automatic parking feature that enables a BMW 7 Series car to park itself, while the driver stands on the curb. It is a feature the company demonstrated only a year ago. Using cameras instead of physical mirrors could also end dangling damaged mirrors. To replace a typical mirror can be expensive as much as $946 on a 2015 Acura RLX, according to the insurance institute. However, Mr. McConnell at Continental noted potential savings in building cars that no longer need the structural support for side-mounted mirrors. Adapted from: https://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/05/automobiles/end-of-the-road-may-be-near-for-side-mirrors.html The author's description on the replacement of side mirrors by a camera is relevant with which of the following? A. A manual handle window replaced by the automatic type B. A finger print sliding door replaced by an automatic one C. A manual camera replaced by a digital camera D. Cash payment replaced by credit cards E. A laptop replaced by a desktop

Online social networking includes much more than Facebook and Twitter. It is any online use of technology to connect people, enable them to collaborate with each other, and form virtual communities. Social networking sites may allow visitors to send e-mails, post comments, build web content, and take part in live chats. Social networking has quickly transformed how people of all ages work, play and shop - and even how we elect presidents. A 2010 Pew Study illustrates that it has become an integral part of the world beyond K- 1 2 schools. In the two years prior to the study, its use among Millennias (age 1 8 to 33) rose from 67 percent to 83 percent, every generation 45 and older more than doubled its participation, and adults 74 and older quadruple their participation (from 4 percent to 1 6 percent). Among students surveyed in a National School Boards association study, 96 percent of those with online access reported using social networking, and half said they use it to discuss schoolwork. Survey research confirms that interest in harnessing social networking for educational purposes is high. As reported in School Principals and Social Networking in Education: Practices, Policies, and Realities in 2010, a national survey of 1,200 principals, teachers and librarians found that most agreed that social networking sites can help educators share information and resources, create professional learning communities, and improve school wide communications with students and staff. Those who had used social networks were more positive about potential benefits than those who had not. In an online discussion with 12 of the principals surveyed, most said that social networking and online collaboration tools would make a substantive change in students' educational experience. They also said these tools could improve student motivation and engagement, help students develop a more social/collaborative view of learning, and create a connection to real-life learning. (adapted from https://www.districministration.com/article/social-networking-tool-student-and-teacher-learning) School principals believe that social networking ... a. develops students' curiosity b. maintains the private relationship c. engages students in learning d. helps students discuss school work e. makes students critical

The explanation shows that life condition is becoming more and more uncondusive for good-quality life. Therefore, today more people than ever are looking for ways to improve their health, increase energy, reduce stress, restore or enhance functionality, relieve aches and pains, balance emotions, and sharpen mental focus. Because of the demands of modern life, most people want those ways to be relatively simple and not time consuming. If you still have not found something to fit your needs, you may want to consider Chinese healing exercises. Chinese healing exercises make up a branch of Chinese medicine. It is almost never taught as a separate system of healing. Rather, it is used in many practices you probably recognize. Some are part of the oldest of Chinese medical practices, including acupressure and tuina, a type of Chinese massage therapy. Others have their origins in ancient self-healing or spiritual practices, such as Chinese forms of yoga and meditation. They are routinely taught together with more detailed and complex practices, such as taiji (t'ai chi) qigong (chi gung), and other advanced medical, spiritual, or martial practices. They are intended to prepare a student for those more demanding disciplines. They are also conducted as adjunctive exercises that can make some aspects of the main practices easier to perform. Some sources are less well known in the west, like medical qigong and paidagong. They are tapping and patting techniques used to break up qi blockages. Qi is life force and is responsible for all healthy functionality, animation, vitality, emotional balance, and mental clarity. Chinese exercises have a unique positive impact on all those qualities. Chinese healing exercises can amplify the benefits from taiji or qigong if you already have such a practice. In that context, they will open targeted areas of physical or energetic restriction, deepen your sensitivity to qi sensations, and increase qi flow. They root you more securely, thereby improving your overall performance. (Adapted from: http:(/www.llewellyn.com/journal/article/2408) It can be predicted from the passage that .... a. the more people do Chinese healing exercises, the longer the time they need to master other advanced medical, spiritual, or martial practices b. the more people do Chinese advanced medical, spiritual, or martial practices; the less they need to do Chinese healing exercise c. the more people do Chinese healing exercises, the worse they will be in other advanced medical, spiritual, or martial practices d. the more people do Chinese healing exercises, the better their overall health will be e. the more people do Chinese healing exercises, the simpler their life will be

People are encouraged to do Chinese healing exercises because they provide many benefits for people's life and cost very low. Moreover, these exercises do not require special equipments, sports gear and apparel. b. While some types of Chinese healing exercises have been considered useful, some others still need further research-based justification. These exercises tend to be more detailed and complex, thus they demand much higher skills from people who want to practice them. c. Despite many benefits provided by Chinese healing exercises, they are not so popular among people seeking for alternative medical treatments. This is because they are not aware of the advantages those exercises have. d. Chinese healing exercises can be a good option for those who want to improve their quality of life. These exercises include acupressure, tuina, taiji, qigong, and other medical, spiritual, and self-defense practices, which may promote overall functionality of person's well-being. e. Chinese healing exercises are becoming more and more popular as many benefits are associated with them. Furthermore, the variations in the alternative treatment are quite interesting and complex.

The green movement is catching on in many pockets of the world. This is especially true in the construction industry. Today's buzz words, which include global warming and zero emissions, are causing everyday people to look for ways to reduce their carbon footprint. Purchasing environmentally-friendly property is a good investment for those who are concerned about their own health and the well-being of the earth. Based on this trend, entire districts, known as eco-communities, are being designed with green initiatives in mind. Dockside Green in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada is one of these communities. Its goal is to become the world's first zero-emission neighbourhood. Builders of Dockside Green have the environment in mind with every choice they make. They ensure proper ventilation, and guarantee residents 100% fresh indoor air. Interior and exterior building materials, such as paints and wood, are natural and non-toxic. Eco-conscious builders use bamboo wherever possible because it is durable and does not require pesticide to grow. Energy efficiency is one of the top priorities in eco-communities, such as Dockside green. Not only do energy-efficient appliances and light fixtures reduce the environment impact of heating and hot water, they also save residents and business owners money. Dockside Green claims that home owners will use 55% less energy than average residents in Canada. Though they are sharing space by investing in condo-style living, residents will have individual utility metres. Studies show that people use approximately 20% less energy when they are billed for exactly what they use. In addition, water is treated at Dockside Green and reused on site for flushing toilets. Planners of eco-communities such as Dockside Green must take the future into account. Dockside Green will reuse 90% of its construction waste. They also plan to continue using local suppliers for all of their transport and maintenance needs. This is a great way to reduce emissions. Dockside residents will be encouraged to make use of mini transit system and buy into the community’s car share program. Finally, plans are in the works for a high-tech heating system that will use renewable biomass instead of fossil fuels. (Adapted from: http://tx-english-ch.com/teacher/lyn/levelc/ecocommunities -dockside-green/) The author organizes the ideas in the passage by …. A. describing a new housing trend and providing a detailed example B. discussing an environmental issue and providing ways to solve the issue C. identifying a community problem and discussing possible solutions to the problem D. explaining an environmentally friendly initiative and discussing the impacts of the initiative E. establishing a new community initiative that is eco-friendly and explaining the ideas behind the initiative
