It used to be called the “year off” between school and university. The gap-year

25、 phenomenon originated (起源) with the months left over to Oxbridge applicants between entrance exams in November and the start of the next academic year.This year, 25,310 students who have accepted places in higher education institutions have put off their entry until next year, according to statisti

26、cs on university entrance provided by the University and College Admissions Service (UCAS).That is a record 14.7% increase in the number of students taking a gap year. Tony Higgins from UCAS said that the statistics are good news for everyone in higher education. “Students who take a well-planned ye

32、ing or beautiful,theres a natural impulse to catch and own itwhich means, in this day and age,that we cant help reaching for our phones to take a picture when seeing beautiful things.Though this would seem to be a wonderful solution,there are two big problems about taking pictures.Firstly, were like

33、ly to be so busy taking the pictures that we forget to look at the world whose beauty and interest inspire us to take a photograph in the first place.And secondly,because we feel the pictures are safely stored in our phones,we never get around to look at them.These problems would seem to be very muc

34、h of today,a consequence of the tiny phones in our pockets.But they were noticed right at the beginning of the history of photography,when the average camera was the size of a grandfather clock.The first person who noticed them was the English art critic,John Ruskin.He was a travelling lover who rea

35、lized that most tourists failed to notice or remember the beautiful things they saw.He argued that humans have a born tendency（傾向）to respond to beauty and desire to keep it,but that there are bad expressions of this desire.At worst,we get into buying souvenirs or taking photographs.But,in Ruskins ey

36、es, theres one thing we should do and that is attempting to draw the interesting things we see,and it doesnt matter whether we happen to have any talent for doing so.Before the invention of photography,people used to draw far more than they do today.It was an active necessity. But in the mid-19th ce

37、ntury,photography killed drawing.It became something only artists would ever do,so Ruskin spent four years on a campaign to get people drawing again.So if drawing had value even when it was practiced by people with no talent,it was for Ruskin because drawing can teach us to notice properly rather th

BUrge.CHabit. DReaction.

Paying enough attention?Would these people feel any better if we could get rid of pilots altogether?The technology

42、already seems to be theredrones are not a new invention. Armies use drones in war zones, where they are controlled remotely. Even helicopters can be pilotless, and delivers aid supplies to dangerous locations.Aircraft accidents are rare today, but when they happen they are getting harder and harder

43、to solve. Thats why investigations often focus on “human factors”, identifying psychological and physiological issues as a probable cause.At the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas in January, Chinese company Ehang displayed the first-ever passenger drone. To fly, the passenger needs to set up a

44、flight plan, click “take off” and “l(fā)and” on a tablet, and the computer does the rest. There are other similar efforts to develop personal air transport systems in the US and the UK. But be it a plane thats controlled remotely or by an artificial intelligence system, whether its just a passenger pres

People are of the opinion that being in the vehicle while controlling it is easier than controlling it remotely.There is also one worry: the risk of the unmanned plane getting hacked (黑客攻擊). It would be necessary to have not only preventive but also rec

47、overy measureto stop an attack from happening and “rescue” the aircraft during a hack.Today, it might be difficult for people to accept unmanned planes because when a plane stops, it falls out of the sky. And of course, many people are already nervous about flying, while not many of us are nervous a
