Amazing,some people never pick out their luggage at airport baggage claim carousels (傳送帶) .And passengers leave all kinds of things on planes.

The airlines collect the items and,for 90 days,attempt to find their owners. If they have no luck,they literally left holding the bags of thousands of travelers. They don't keep them,so they're not in the warehouse business. And for law,they cannot sell the bags,because the airlines might be tempting to deliberately misplace luggage.

Some experts feel that cars are certain to fall into disuse.They see a day in the not too distant future when all cars will be deserted and made useless. 1       They hold that the car will remain a leading means of city travel in the foreseeable future.

It should become smaller,safer and more practical and should not be powered by the gas engine. 2       Unless changes take place in the power system,the car in the future will still be the main problem in city traffic jams. One suggested solution to this essential problem is the automated (自動(dòng)的) system which seems to hold water.

3      ,a small arm will drop from the car and connect with a rail which is similar to a hose (橡皮軟管，水龍帶) powering subway trains electrically. Once joined to the rail,the car will become electrically powered from the system and control of the car will pass to a central computer. 4       The driver will use the telephone to dial instructions about his position and the place he heads for into the system. The computer will find the best way and reserve space for the car all the way to the correct exit from the highway. 5       It is believed that an automated highway will be able to deal with 10 ,000 cars per hour,compared with the 1,500 to 2,000 cars that can be carried by a presentday highway.

   A. There will be plenty of policemen on the highway to control the traffic.

   B. The car of the future should be far more pollutionfree than present types.
