Who is a Real Danger? Cyclists or Pedestrians?

We are having a debate about this topic. Here are some letters from our readers.

Yes, many cyclists behave dangerously. Many drivers are disrespectful of cyclists. But

pedestrians are probably the worst offenders. People of all ages happily walk along the pavement with

eyes and hands glued to their mobile phones, quite unaware of what is going on around them. They

may even do the same thing while crossing a road at a pedestrian crossing or elsewhere. The rest of us

have to evade (避让) them or just stand still to wait for the unavoidable collision. The real problem is

that some pedestrians seem to be, at least for the moment, in worlds of their own that are, to them,

much more important than the welfare of others.

—Michael Horan

I love the letter from Bob Brooks about cyclists (Viewpoints, May 29). I am afraid they seem to

think they own the roads. I was walking across Altrincham Road one morning when a cyclist went

round me and, on being asked what he was doing, shouted at me. The government built a cycle lane

on the road, but it is hardly used. The police do nothing. What a laugh they are! The cyclists should all

have to be made to use the cycle lanes and wear helmets, fluorescent (发荧光的) jackets and lights at

night and in the morning. They should pay some sort of tax and be fined for not wearing them.

—Carol Harvey

Cyclists jump on and off pavements (which are meant for pedestrians), ride at speed along the

pavements, and think they have a special right to go through traffic lights when they are on red. I was

almost knocked down recently by a cyclist riding on the pavement when there was a cycle lane right

next to him. Other road users, including horse riders, manage to obey the rules. So why not cyclists?

It’s about time they were registered and insured, so when they do hit a pedestrian or a vehicle or cause

an accident, at least they can be treated and there might be an opportunity to claim compensation.

—JML

Many of you may have used Siri, a voice assistant of US tech company Apple. You only have to

say “hey Siri” and it will answer to your command. However, we may be sacrificing our privacy to

enjoy this convenience.

According to a recent report by the Guardian, Siri can be accidentally triggered and start

recording private conversations, such as discussions between doctors and patients. Some of these

recordings are then given to workers outside the company to review. Apple claimed the data was used

to help Siri improve, but users were not informed of this measure in the first place.

Apple’s Siri is not the only voice assistant to come under fire. In 2018, Alexa, a voice assistant

developed by US tech company Amazon, recorded a private conversation between a couple and sent it

to a stranger without their permission.

These issues deepened concerns that tech companies are infringing users’ rights of privacy. Many

people have long feared that tech companies are listening and collecting data from private

conversations, reported Forbes. Using this data, third party companies could then paint an accurate

picture of users’ habits and preferences in order to serve them more targeted advertisements, or even

worse, sell this private data.

Despite this risk, the popularity of voice assistant seems to be unstoppable. “In the near future,

everything from your lighting to your air-conditioning to your refrigerator, your coffee maker, and

even your toilet could be wired to a system controlled by voice,” commented The Atlantic.

Colin Horgan wrote on the blog site Medium that he believed people’s daily lives will soon

become a source of data. “The sounds of our homes, the symphony of life — laughing, crying, talking,

shouting, sitting in silence — will no longer be considered memories, but data,” he wrote.

To deal with the issue, Blake Morgan, reporter for The Atlantic, believed that the answer is

transparency. “All companies need to have messaging ready to explain to customers what they do with

private data,” she wrote on The Atlantic.

24. What does the underlined sentence mean?

A. There are other fire-proof voice assistants.

B. Other voice assistants also need improvements.

C. Other voice assistants are also being developed.

D. There are other voice assistants being criticized.

25. What seems to be people’s biggest concern about voice assistants?

A. Sending their message.

B. Serving them targeted advertisements.

C. Making no improvements.
