Today, almost every car on the roads is set with GPS. For people who usually get on a foreign road, GPS makes it convenient
to drive on the road. However, GPS is not always as safe as people believe. Sometimes, it will be dangerous if people trust GPS
totally. Here are two cases. In March 2011, a young woman drove her car by herself at night, and her GPS led her into far-away
mountains. She even could not find her way home for two days. In the same month, a family was led into a river by GPS. All
the family even got seriously hurt.
To deal with the GPS problems, the engineers in ITRI invent a new type of GPS. It is given a special name, DR. The

Aria: Good evening! This is Aria Hill. We're very happy to have Luke Green with us in the air today.
Luke: Good evening, Aria!
Aria: Tonight, we're talking about one of the latest TV series, The Teenage Psychic. What is it about?
Luke: It's about Xiao-Zhen, a 16-year-old teenager who is able to see spirits.
Aria: Spirits?! Sounds scary. Faint-hearted people may not want to see them. There have been similar TV series these years.
How is The Teenage Psychic different from others?
Luke: Xiao-Zhen is chosen to work in a temple where she helps living people communicate with ghosts. She also helps spirits
who are lost, forgotten, angry or just crying out for help. It's not easy for her because she has her own problems with
school, friends, and her first love.
Aria: The TV series has been shown in many countries for the past six months, and millions of people have seen it. Why is it so
popular?
Luke: It talks about not only spirits but also human nature. The movie has deeply touched the hearts of many people.
Aria: I see. Thank you very much for joining us today. Here are some postcards of The Teenage Psychic. Post about what you
and Xiao-Zhen have in common on our Facebook walls and you'll have a chance to get one.
