It is well-known that fatigue driving(疲劳驾驶)is very dangerous．A device that stops drivers from falling asleep at the wheel is about to undergo testing at Department of Transport laboratories and could go on sale within 12 months．
The device is a kind of system,which is called Driver Alert，and it aims to reduce deadly road accidents by 20％—40％that are caused by tiredness．Airline pilots can also use it to reduce the 30％ of all pilot-error accidents that are related to fatigue． Driver Alert is based on a computerized wristband．The device，worn by drivers or pilots，gives out a sound about every four minutes during a car journey．After each sound the driver must respond by squeezing the steering wheel．A sensor in the wristband detects this pressing action and measures the time between the sound and the driver’s response．
Driver’s response time is directly related to tiredness．Usually,a watchful driver would take about 400 milliseconds to respond，but once that falls to more than 500 milliseconds,it suggests that the driver is getting sleepy．
In such cases the device gives out more regular and louder sounds，showing that the driver should open a window or stop for a rest．If the driver’s response continues to slow down，the sounds become more frequent until a nonstop alarm warns that the driver must stop as soon as possible．
The device has been delivered to the department’s laboratories for testing．If these tests， scheduled for six months’time，are successful，the makers will bring the product to market within about a year．

Stand barefoot on the floor．Now move your stomach muscles and“roll”them quickly,making waves．“Rolling”your stomach is just the first step in learning how to belly dance．Before the French called it”belly dancing，”the Arabs called it Sharqi,or“Oriental Dance．”Although its exact origins are unknown，most historians agree it was first performed in Middle Eastern countries．From there it spread to the Mediterranean，North Africa，and Asia． Long before belly dancing became mostly aIl entertainment for mail，women belly danced for their female family members before childbirth or weddings without any mail present．The stomach rolling was believed to help the mother-to-be have a smoother delivery．It was also a sign of fertility(多产)and a connection with Mother Nature．While performing this dance，women in scarves and veils would play finger cymbals(手指铙钹)along with the music．They’d also dance with coin belts tied around their waists．These belts were worn in case the dancer had to run away quickly with the family’s wealth．Aside from the belts，belly dancers would sometimes bring to the stage candles，swords,and evcn snakes．
In the 1950’s，belly dancing was outlawed in Egypt and other parts of the Middle East Even today,it is illegal to show belly dancing on television．Belly dancing is still forbidden in parts of the Middle East today，but enjoyed by both men and women in other parts of the world．
66．Which of the following statements is true?
A．Belly dancing was originally performed for women by women．
