39、he thief thinks he has got a great catch. But he is in for an unwelcome surprise.

40、this. A control box fitted to the car contains a mini-cellphone, a micro- processor and memory, and a GPS (全球定位系統(tǒng)) satellite positioning receiver. ff the car is stolen, a coded cellphone signal will tell the control centre to block the vehicle's engine management system and prevent the engine be

50、nts say that maturity can be an asset in child rearing - older parents are more thoughtful, use less physical discipline and spend more time with their children. But raising kids takes money and energy. Many older parents find themselves balancing their limited financial resources, declining energy

51、and failing health against the growing demands of an active child. Dying and leaving young children is probably the older parents' biggest, and often unspoken, fear. Having late-life children, says an economics professor. often means parents, particularly fathers, "end up retiring much late

55、 fears there is often a much bigger one: "that they won't be alive long enough to support and protect their child," she says. Many late-life parents, though, say their children came at just the right time. After marrying late and undergoing years of fertilily (受孕) treatment, Marilyn No

56、len and her husband. Randy, had twins. "We both wanted children," says Marilyn, who was 55 when she gave birth. The twins have given the couple what they desired for years, "a sense of family." Kids of older dads are often smarter, happier and more sociable because their fathers

57、are more involved in their lives. 'The dads are older, more mature," says Dr. Silber, "and more ready to focus on parenting." 36. Why do psychiatrists regard maturity as an asset in child rearing?
