Question 14

Segway dùng máy tính để bắt chước hành động lái xe của con người.

Answer 14

Instead it uses a computer system that imitates the ability of humans to keep their balance. This system seems to move to the driver’s thoughts. For example, when the driver thinks “Go forward’’, the Segway moves forwards, and when the driver thinks, “Stop’’, it stops. The Segway is not really responding to the driver’s thoughts, but to the tiny changes in balance that the driver makes as he prepares his body to move forward or to stop. For example, when the driver thinks about moving forward, he actually leans slightly forward, and when he thinks of stopping or slowing, the driver leans slightly back.

Question 21

Công việc của họ phải đi bộ nhiều.

Answer 21

At all three speed settings, the Segway can go wherever a person can walk, both indoors and outdoors. Workers who must walk a lot in their jobs might be the primary users of Segways. For example, police officers could drive Segways to patrol city streets, and mail carriers could drive from house to house to deliver letters and packages. Farmers could quickly inspect distant fields and bams, and rangers, or parks. Security guards could protect neighborhoods or large buildings. Any task requiring a lot of walking could be made easier. In cities, shoppers could leave their cars at home and ride Segway from store to store. Also, people who cannot comfortably walk due to age, illness, or injury could minimize their walking but still be able to go many places on a Segway.
