【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 standing， walking, running— or have fallen over. The system, called Partout, was originally developed as a monitoring device for the families of people with dementia, who may wander off and need to be located. “ It39。s estimated that the number of elderly people with symptoms of dementia will reach million in Japan next year， ” says Hitachi39。s Keisaku Shibatani. But the high cost of the system— early prices are around ￡ 27, 000— has put it out of reach of most families. Indeed, panies with large sales forces and police departments who want to track officers on dangerous patrol duties are interested in the system. Partout uses a multi function location sensing unit that tracks users through global positioning satellites. The user39。s body motion is determined by an accelerometer inside the sensing unit: no movement means the subject has stopped, slow movement means they are walking, fast movement means they are running, and strong and unexpectedly sudden movement means the user may have fallen. The date is relayed through the user39。s cellphone to puter, which displays their position on a map. Graphics record the motion or position of the subject39。s body. 36． What is mainly talked about in the text? A． Japanese workers are caught playing outside.

For food he traps wild animals, fishes in the rivers, and plants whatever he can. John lives in a cabin he made by hand, out of trees he chopped down with an ax. Though he has no relatives he knows of, he does have a deer he raised from a fawn. The deer lives in the house in the winter and goes with John when he goes into the forest for food. Nobody lives within fifty miles of his cabin in the mountains and John has not been out of the mountains during the entire forty years. One day last year I hiked in to see how John lives. It was like going back in time. There were no roads, no stores, no noise, no pollution, not even a post office. Most notable of all, there were no people and that39。s just the way John Williams wants to keep his part of the world— without people. But there is a paradox in his story. John is an educated man. He has books and nobody knows how he got them. Mostly he reads about his world, the forest, the animals, the plants, and the mountains. He has seen airplanes flying overhead but does not want to know about them. For him, electricity is lightning, not light bulbs, refrigerators, televisions, or washing machines. John Williams is 85 years old and had not had a sick day in his life. He attributes his long life to the fact that it has nothing to do with people and in order that he might enjoy many more years of health, happiness, and solitude, I will not tell you where his kingdom lies. There is no room there for you or me. 40． Who lives in John Williams39。 house? A． He and his family. B． John Williams himself. C． Nobody— he
