    Imagine the situation. You are driving alone in a desert or on a mountain. You have no idea where you are. You passed the last house two hours ago. Then your car breaks down. It is night and it is cold. You have no mobile phone. What do you do? Well,next time take a GPS with you. This invention may be able to help you. It is a device (裝置） which uses satellites (衛(wèi)星) to find the user’s position (位置) .It can find your position within 20 metres. A GPS cannot start your car,but at least you will know where you are.

   GPS,which means Global Positioning System,is a small radio receiver. It looks like a mobile phone. You can hold it in your hand,or put it in your pocket. It is sometimes put into a watch or a telephone. We also find GPS devices in cars,planes,or boats. Some of these devices have electronic maps,so you know where you are. For example,in a city they can tell you the name of the street.

   There are three parts to the Global Positioning System. The first part is the receiver. You can hold it in your hand,or have it fixed into your car,plane,etc. The second part is a group of satellites orbiting the Earth. The receiver contacts at least four of the satellites and calculates (計(jì)算) its position. The third part of the system is a network of ground stations. They are all over the world. They control the satellites and make sure they are working well.

   Some people think that in the future the GPS will be as common as the mobile. They are becoming cheaper and more and more accurate (精確的) .There are also new uses for the GPS. Perhaps they will become like watches. Everyone will have one and you will never be lost again.

   Last summer I went through a training program and became a literacy volunteer (掃盲志愿者) .The training I received,though excellent,did not tell me how it was to work with a real student,however. When I began to discover what other people’s lives were like because they could not read,I realized the true importance of reading.

   My first student Marie was a 44-year-old single mother of three. In the first lesson,I found out she walked two miles to the nearest supermarket twice a week because she didn’t know which bus to take. When I told her I would get her a bus schedule (時(shí)刻表) ，she told me it would not help because she could not read it. She said she also had difficulty once she got to the supermarket because she couldn’t always remember what she needed. Since she did not know words,she could not write out a shopping list. Also,she could only recognize items by sight,so if the product had a different label (標(biāo)簽) ，she would not recognize it as the product she wanted.

   As we worked together,learning how to read built Marie’s selfconfidence (自信心) ，which encouraged her to continue in her studies. She began to make rapid progress and was even able to take the bus to the supermarket. After this successful trip,she reported how selfconfident she felt. At the end of the program,she began helping her youngest son,Tony,a shy first grader,with his reading. I found that helping Marie to build her selfconfidence was more rewarding than anything I had ever done before.
