How many times have you got upset because someone wasn't doing his job, or because your child wasn't behaving? How many times have you been irritated when you planned something carefully and things didn't go as you'd hoped?This kind of anger and irritation happens to all of us—it's part of the human experience. One thing that irritates me is when people talk during a movie, or cut me off in traffic. Actually, I have a lot of these little annoyances—don't we all? And it isn't always easy to find peace when you've become upset or irritated.Let me tell you a little secret to finding peace of mind: see the glass as already broken. See, the cause of our stress, anger and irritation is that things don't go the way we like, or the way we expect them to. Think of how many times this has been true for you. And so the solution is simple: expect things to go wrong; expect things to be different from what we hoped or planned; expect the unexpected to happen. And accept it.One quick example: on our recent trip to Japan, I told my kids to expect things to go wrong—they always do that on a trip. I told them, “See it as part of the adventure.”And this worked like a charm. When we inevitably took the wrong train on a foreign language subway system, or when it rained on the day we went to Disney Sea, or when we took three trains and walked 10 blocks only to find the National Children's Castle closed on Mondays…they said, “It's part of the adventure!” And it was all OK—we didn't get too bothered.So when the nice glass you bought inevitably falls and breaks someday, you might get upset. But things will be different, if you see the glass as already broken, from the day you get it. You know it'll break someday, so from the beginning, see it as already broken. Be a time traveler, or someone with time traveling vision, and see the future of this glass, from this moment until it inevitably breaks. And when it breaks, you won't be upset or sad—because it was already broken, from the day you got it. And you'll realize that every moment you have with it is precious.

单选题 38. Despite their varied designs, navigation computers used in cars ____.

are more or less the same price

provide directions in much the same way

work on more or less the same principles

receive instructions from the same satellites

正确答案：C

解析

本题考查推理判断。
根据题干关键词 “varied designs, navigation computers” 定位到的第五段第一、二句 “Most systems are basically identical. The differences come in hardware—the way the computer accepts the driver’s request for directions and the way it presents the driving instructions.” 可知，大多数的系统基本上都是相同的。区别在于硬件方面——计算机接受司机的问路请求以及它给出驾驶指令的方式。由第三段第一句 “The computer works with an antenna that takes signals from no fewer than three of the 24 global positioning system (GPS) satellites.” 可知，导航计算机接受的信号来自24个卫星。
C项：work on more or less the same principles 或多或少遵循同样的原则。符合题意，故选C。
A项：are more or less the same price 价格差不多。文中并没有比较导航计算机的价格。不符合题意，故排除。
B项：provide directions in much the same way 提供方向的方法大致相同。不符合题意，故排除。
D项：receive instructions from the same satellites 接收来自同一卫星的指令。不符合题意，故排除。
故本题答案为C。
