25、e sky is not so big. Thats part of the reason why, in the first four months of this year, the government said only 72 percent of all flights arrived on time, the lowest number since the recent system of reporting began in 1995. The runways are full, the planes are jammed, and air traffic controllers
26、 5complain theyre stressed out. And the radar systems that keep things going are, in large part, technology of the 1960s. “Its like driving down the road with a paper bag over your head, and youre trying to stay out of the way of other cars,” says Captain Karen Lee, a 747 pilot who heads operations
27、for UPS, the delivery service. At its center in Louisville, UPS is experimenting with the next generation in air traffic control: planes guided by the satellites of the Global Positioning System, instead of radar.Though it has advanced greatly over the years, radar is a technology that dates back to
28、 World War II. It scans the sky, looking for signals from planes in the air. Typically, air traffic radar only updates a planes position once every 12 seconds or so and in 12 seconds, a jet can move two miles or make a turn. Whats more, radar signals can be blocked by storms or mountains. But with G
29、PS signals, pilots can see in real time exactly where they are, and where other planes are, too. A readout screen in the cockpit (驾驶舱) tells the pilots whats around them. “What we end up with is a very exact location for each aircraft in the system,” said Basil Barimo of the Air Transport Associatio
30、n, which represents airlines. 31.

34、antages of the Global Positioning SystemD. nothing can be done to improve the air traffic conditionCThirteen vehicles lined up last March to race across the Mojave Desert, seeking a million in prize money. To win, they had to finish the 142-mile race in less than 10 hours. Teams and watchers knew th
35、ere might be no winner at all, because these vehicles were missing a key partdrivers.DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, organized the race as part of a push to develop robotic vehicles for future battlefields. But the Grand Challenge, as it was called, just proved how difficult it
36、 is to get a car to speed across an unfamiliar desert without human guidance. One had its brake lock up in the starting area, Another began by throwing itself onto a wall. Another got tied up by bushes near the road after 1.9 miles.One turned upside down. One took off in entirely the wrong direction
37、 and had to be disabled by remote (远距离的) consol. One went a little more than a mile and rushed into a fence; another managed to go for six miles but stuck on a rock. The “winner,”if there was any, reached 7.8 miles before it ran into a long, narrow hole, and the front wheels caught on fire.“You get
38、a lot of respect for natural abilities of the living things,” says Reinhold Behringer, who helped design two of the ear-size vehicles for a company called Sci-Autonics, “Even ants can do all these tasks effortlessly. Its very hard for us to put these abilities into our machines.”The robotic vehicles
39、, though with necessary modern equipment such as advanced computers and GPS guidance, had trouble figuring out fast enough the blocks ahead that a two-year-old human recognizes immediately. Sure, that very young child, who has just only learned to walk, may not think to wipe apple juice off her face
40、, but she already knows that when theres a cookie in the kitchen she has to climb up the table, and that when she gets to the cookie it will taste good. She is more advanced, even months old, than any machine humans have designed.36. Watchers doubted if any of the vehicles could finish the race beca

45、 child to understand the importance of wiping apple juice off its faceDAt the beginning of the 20th century there were more than a million lions worldwide. Today there are less than 30,000 in the wild. The remaining lions are increasingly threatened by habitat loss, hunting and activities to protect
46、 farms and cattle. For generations, Masai tribesmen on the large African plains in southeastern Kenya have hunted lions to protect their farms and cattle. Today they celebrate the lions life.Noah is an elder in the Masai community. “We have decided as a community of the Masai to lay down our spears,
47、 and there will be no more killing of lions 8in our community.” He is part of a group of Masai visiting the United States promoting the Predator (捕食性动物) Compensation Program.Conservation Internationals Frank Hawkins explains, “The Masai have been living with wildlife for many generations and it has
48、been a conflicting relationship in many ways. They compete with the animals for food as lions eat their cattle. Were trying to find ways in which the wildlife will become something useful to them.” They had the Predator Compensation Fund founded in 2003. After much discussion, a group of Masai farme
49、rs agreed to protect lions. In turn, if lions or other predators kill their cattle, the Masai owner will be paid market value for the dead animals from the fund. One man said that in the past, when a lion killed cattle, they killed it on the spot. And now, after the start of the program, the Masai see the lion population growing. Since 2003, only four lions have
