I want to make the most of every day. And, like most people, I've that the best way to do it is to let go of past failures. But that's not all. One can never fully today while thinking too much about past successes, either. People never while resting comfortably on their laurels (榮譽). The is that sometimes our successes hold us back more than our failures!
I once a story about the Oscar owner, actor Clark Gable. A friend Gable one afternoon at the actor's home. She brought along her son, who was playing happily with toy cars on the floor. He he was racing those cars around a great track, which in was an imaginary circle around a golden statue (雕像). The small statue the boy played with was actually the Oscar Clark Gable for his performance in the 1934 movie It Happened One Night.
When his mother told him the time had come to ，the little boy asked the actor, “Can I have this？” to the Oscar.
“Sure，” he smiled. “It's yours.”
The horrified mother . “Put that back immediately！”
Giving the child the golden statue, Clark Gable said, “Having the Oscar around doesn't mean anything to me; it does.” The actor seemed to know that past success could be a hammock (吊床) upon which he may be tempted to , rather than a springboard setting him to begin a new start.
You may have learned to let go of past and mistakes in order to free the present. But will you forget past successes and achievements in order to free the ？Will your past be a springboard or a restful hammock?

Global Positioning Systems（GPS） are now a part of everyday driving in many countries. These satellite-based systems provide turn-by-turn directions to help people get to where they want to go. But, they can also cause a lot of problems, send you to the wrong place or leave you completely lost. Many times, the driver is to blame. Sometimes a GPS error is responsible. Most often, says Barry Brown, it is a combination of the two.
We spoke to Mr. Brown by Skype （網絡電話軟件）. He told us about an incident involving a friend who had flown to an airport in the eastern United States. There he borrowed a GPS-equipped car to use during his stay. BARRY BROWN: “And they just plugged in an address and then set off to their destination. And, then it wasn’t until they were driving for thirty minutes that they realized they actually put in a destination back on the West Coast where they lived. They actually put their home address in. So again, the GPS is kind of 'garbage in garbage out'.”
Mr Brown says this is a common human error. But, he says, what makes the problem worse has to do with some of the shortcomings, or failures, of GPS equipment. BARRY BROWN: “One problem with a lot of the GPS units is that they have a very small screen and they just tell you the next turn. Because they just give you the next turn, sometimes that means that it is not really giving you the overview that you would need to know that it’s going to the wrong place.”
Barry Brown formerly served as a professor with the University of California, San Diego. While there, he worked on a project with Eric Laurier from the University of Edinburgh. The two men studied the effects of GPS devices on driving by placing cameras in people’s cars. They wrote a paper based on their research. It is called “The Normal, Natural Troubles of Driving with GPS.”
It lists several areas where GPS systems can cause confusion for drivers. These include maps that are outdated, incorrect or difficult to understand. They also include timing issues(時機問題) related to when GPS commands are given.
Barry Brown says, “ To make GPS systems better we need a better understanding of how drivers, passengers and GPS systems work together.”
1.In paragraph 2, Mr. Brown mentioned his friend in the conversation to _______.
A. build up his own reputation
B. laugh at his stupid friend
C. prove the GPS system is only garbage
D. describe an example of human error
2.What is the disadvantage of small screens in GPS equipment according to the text?
A. They just provide the next turn.
B. They are harmful to eyes.
C. They make drivers tired easily.
D. They often break down suddenly.
3.Which of the following statements would Barry Brown most likely agree with?
A. GPS units are to blame for most GPS service failures.
B. We should introduce higher standards for the driving license.
C. Cameras are badly needed to help improve GPS systems.
D. Drivers, GPS systems and passengers should unite to improve GPS systems.
4.What is Mr. Brown’s attitude towards GPS?
A. Unconcerned. B.subjective.
C. Objective. D. Critical.
5.Which of the following statements can best describe the main idea of the passage?
A. Driving with GPS can be difficult.
B. Driving confusions can be caused by small screens.
C. Driving without GPS should be much more convenient.
D. GPS equipment in driving to be given up or improved
