There are so many uses of GPS tracking that people don't think of every day.From the mili-
tary to searching for treasure,we use GPS for a wide variety of activities,both serious and fun.
Of course,the most important benefits of GPS technology are the life-saving ones,one of those u-
ses is in search and rescue missions.More people than ever have a GPS device right in their pock-
ets,which makes them safer than ever when they run into a dangerous situation.
Many hikers equip themselves with GPS devices because they know that anything can hap-
pen when they go out on the trail.A working GPS device is equally as important as any of their
other tools.A lot of hikers have found their GPS devices helpful in their rescue.There are many
stories of GPS technology saving hikers who have run into trouble on or off the trail.

第三周
Kidnappings (are a tragedy whenever they occur.The US Department of Justice
found that in one year,797,500 children were reported missing.Only some parents equipped their
children with GPS devices to protect them in the event of a kidnapping.GPS devices aren't only
useful for kidnappings but can also be applied if children simply wander off and get lost.Many
are equipped with a panic button so children can warn their parents as soon as they feel they are
in danger.
Everyone has heard of planes disappearing and never being heard from again.With GPS
tracking,this no longer has to be a reality.GPS tracking can find planes that have disappeared in
most cases and even rescue passengers in the event of a crash.It is an important technology for
air travel to keep airplanes from crashing into one another in mid-air.
1.What is the biggest use of GPS?
A.Keeping us safe.
B.Offering more fun.
C.Doing military tasks.
D.Tracking hikers'position.
2.What is the purpose of showing the number of missing children?
A.To look into the tragedies in the US.
B.To tell us GPS devices sometimes fail to work.
C.To show how important GPS technology is for kids.
D.To explain why the parents didn't use GPS devices.
3.How can we find a plane more easily in an airplane crash?
A.By using position tracking.
B.By searching more widely.
C.By learning more experience.
D.By developing more new technologies.
4.What is the best title for the text?
A.Important life-saving tools.
