听力原文:M: I'm sorry I'm late.Rose.
W: That's all right,Vic.My house isn't that easy to find.Many of my friends have trouble finding the way when they come for the first time.But you know,you wouldn't have gotten lost if you had a"smart"car.
M: A smart car?I have never heard of that before.What's a smart car?
W: I just read a magazine article about some new technology that can make a car smart.One device is a computerized map display and a synthesized voice,you must enter the address where you want to go,and the voice tells you how to get there,street by street.
M: Hey,that's just like my brother.He never gets lost,and he's always telling me the best route.So what else will a smart car be able to do?
W: Well,the article said that they will be equipped with radar warning systems that will warn drivers if they're getting too close to other cars with an alarm signal,and they will even put on the brakes if the drivers don't.
M: Tell me,Rose,will these cars be smart enough to fill themselves up with gas?
W: Not that I know of.Why do you ask?
M: Well,I'm not late because I got lost--I'm late because I ran out of gas on the way over here.
What do we learn about a"smart"car according to the woman?
A.It uses new technology.
B.It is installed with a robot.
C.It is as clever as human.
D.It can talk with people.
Questionsare based on the following passage.
Workers with skills in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) are among the mmost in demand and highest paid.They are seen as key drivers of problem-solving and economic growth, who will help shape the future.And most of them are men.Nadya Fouad, a professor of educational psychology at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, and her colleagues surveyed more than 5,000 women who had graduated from some of the top universities with engineering degrees over the past six decades.They found that 40 percent had either quit the field or never entered the profession in the first place.For more than two decades, women have accounted for about 20 percent of all engineering degrees.Yet fewer than 11 percent of all engineers are women.For the most part, Fouad found that what really pushed women out were uncivil workplace climates, the expectation to put in long hours of face time in the office, and the feeling that there was little opportunity to advance.Of the women who left the field less than five years ago, two-thirds pursued better opportunities in other fields——72 percent became either managers or executives.One-third said they stayed home with children because their companies didn"t settle work-life conflicts.
It is not about making the women more confident or anything.It"s really about the climate in the workplace, Fouad said.Even women who are staying consider leaving because they don"t have superior support.They don"t have training and development opportunities.And their colleagues are not civil to them, look down upon them, or talk behind their backs.The fmdings add weight and context to previous looks at why more women don"t go into or don"t stay in STEM fields.The previous studies tend
to explain that women aren"t "naturally" smart enough, and that these are careers for men.Furthermore, Fouad makes recommendations to create a good work environment.The problem should be recognized that women aren"t leaving just because they want to spend time with their children.They"re leaving because of the difficult workplace climate and lack of opportunity to advance.The company, starting from the managers, is supposed to invest in professional training which is beneficial to the women"s development and advance.

请帮忙给出每个问题的正确答案和分析,谢谢!
Firstly when do you use them? The etiquette of using mobiles is changing. Originally people turned away when speaking with someone. Now they'll just talk about anything from work to romance to when they'll be home--at the top of their voices--without anyone minding. Or not minding much. Or--OK being too polite to say they can't stand the fact that person sitting next to them on the train is talking about last night's party while they're trying to read the paper.
Secondly, when do you not use them? In Britain, the answer to that is simple. You don't use a mobile phone---except with a fixed hands free set--while you're driving. A new law came into force at the end of 2003. Anyone caught using a hand--held mobile while driving risks a fixed penalty of £30 or a fine of up to £1,000 if convicted plus three points on their licence.
However, not everyone takes note of the law and the police have been prosecuting drivers for breaking it. The worst offenders are people living in South West Scotland. BBC transport correspondent Tom Symonds says that over 800 have been caught in Strathclyde compared to just 17 in Suffolk. (It's not clear whether that means that Scots have more friends or are just worse drivers!)
Finally, do try not to lose your mobile. It's not the phone itself which matters--it's easy enough to replace a handset. But your SIM card is another matter. It has all your contacts stored on it. And without your contacts list--well, who could you phone?
The passage mainly discusses ______.
A.the advantages and disadvantages of using the mobile phone
B.the manners of using the mobile phone
C.the problems brought by the mobile phone
D.the development of the mobile phone industry
