    Global Positioning System (GPS) is now a part of everyday driving in many countries. It is a space-based system that provides position and time information in all weather conditions. GPS can help people get to where they want to go.____When this happens, the driver is often to blame. Sometimes a GPS error is responsible. Most often, it is a combination of the two.

    ____Barry Brown, a GPS technologist, took an incident as an example. His friend once flew to an airport in the eastern United States. There he borrowed a GPS-equipped car to use. He wrongly plugged in the home address in the west. It wasn't until he was driving for thirty minutes that he realized it. Mr. Brown says this is a common human error. But he says, “One problem is that GPS has a very small screen and it can just tell you the next turn.____”

    “The Normal and Natural Troubles of Driving with GPS” lists several areas where GPS can cause difficulties. They include maps that are outdated, incorrect or difficult to understand. ____GPS may fail due to these reasons and then lead to confusion for the drivers.

    Although GPS sometimes causes difficulties when people are driving, the most attractive point of this system is its 100% coverage on the planet. It is important for you to have to know what you are doing when you use GPS. You need to have the “ability” to be able to use GPS because it sometimes goes wrong.____

A. There are quite a few situations showing the problems of using GPS.

B. That means that it is not really telling you about going to the wrong place.

C. This space-based system is an important tool for civil and commercial users.

D. But sometimes it sends you to the wrong place or leaves you completely lost.

E. They also contain timing problems related to when GPS commands are given.

F. Advances in technology play an active role in modernizing GPS in many ways.

G. To make GPS well used, you need a good understanding of how drivers and GPS work.

      ①相传,唐代诗人李贺曾登上千佛山向北眺望,看到远处山峦叠起,或绿秀峻拔,或碧如屏风,或巍然盘陀,或岚烟缭绕,山势各异,各具情态,魅力无限,有感而发写下了“遥看齐州九点烟,一泓海水杯中泻”的千古名句。这里的“九”并非确数,而是泛指山多。齐烟九点,如今一般是指自千佛山北望所见到的卧牛山、华山、鹊山、标山、凤凰山、北马鞍山、粟山、匡山、药山九座山头。
      ②济南的齐烟九点    不像七十二名泉那样名扬天下,    也有其独特的魅力。
      ③齐烟九点静立城中,形成了济南青山入城、城中有泉的独特地理景观。其海拔较低,多为200米以下的小丘陵,正是这些并不伟岸的山峰,才使得济南有起有伏,在柔情似水的城市风貌中多了几分阳刚之美。匡山、粟山、马鞍山、药山,在济南市区西北部;标山、凤凰山、鹊山位于市区北部;华山、卧牛山地处市区东北。从千佛山向北环顾,黄河如带,群山如佩,黄河的线条、山体的轮廓,在碧空的映衬下,犹如一幅幅动态的水墨画。
      ④齐烟九点每一座山的命名都可以称得上是世俗风情与历史积淀相融合的典范。
      ⑤                          。如匡山,原名筐山,据《山东通志》载:“山石方隅,皆如筐形,故名。”杜甫诗中有“匡山读书处,头白好归来”的句子,后人据此将山名改为匡山。粟山,取“沧海一粟”名之,形容其微小如同沙砾。马鞍山,其状中凹,形同马鞍,著名的齐晋“鞍之战”就发生在这里。卧牛山,犹如黄牛偃卧。凤凰山,宛如凤凰展翅。标山的两个山头,就似烟波浩渺的湖水之中的标尺,元代散曲家张养浩在《标山记》中曰:“盖旁无他山,惟此若标可望,故以名之”。华山,又名华不注山,北魏郦道元在《水经注》中描述其像在水中含苞欲放的一支荷花骨朵,华不注其实就是“花骨朵”的转音。
      ⑥还有些山是因美丽传说而得名。如鹊山,传说此山是先秦名医扁鹊炼丹的地方。李白曾作《泛鹊山湖三首》描绘了鹊山一带“湖阔数千里,湖光摇碧山”的湖光山色,这是现存描写鹊山的最早诗篇。元代书画家赵孟頫的《鹊华秋色图》不仅绘出了当时鹊山、华山的秀美景色,而且成为展示济南悠久历史的宝贵资料。传说药山以前还盛产半夏、远志、千头菊、菌陈、柴胡、生地等多种中药材,有鹤发童颜的仙人在此居住。
      ⑦齐烟九点地处泰山余脉,北临黄河,地质因素的复杂多样,成就了齐烟九点独具魅力的景观。其土质结构复杂,有棕壤、褐土、潮土、砂黑土、水稻土、风砂土等六种;矿产资源丰富,主要有铁、煤、花岗岩、耐火粘土以及铜、钾等,特别是石灰岩品位高、储量大;地表植被多样,春归桃杏绽放,梨花如烟;夏日茂林修竹,流水潺潺;秋时漫山红叶,层林尽染;冬来苍松劲柏,魅力不减,四季中任何时节,到山间看一看,都能放牧心灵,感到神清气爽,怡然惬意。
      ⑧齐烟九点,蕴含着济南的历史和文脉,以其独特的魅力为这座古城平添了一城山色和无穷灵气!
