Ten men and ten women were tested by showing them various gadgets. Psychologists wired men and women up to a machine called a "psycho-galvanometer" for tests. Like a lie detector, the machine measures arousal levels by how the skin resists a small electrical current.Results showed that women got more aroused at being given gadgets as gifts, the biggest response came from women given a DVD player."It"s clear that flowers and chocolates really don"t do it for women any more, so men should make sure they go for the coolest, shiniest gadgets," psychologist Dr Adam Johnson who carried out the study said.

For years it has been possible to set up cameras to take pictures of cars as they speed along highways, jump lights or drive too fast down the street.However even if the pictures are taken automatically, someone still has to do all the paperwork of sending out fines. But now a British company called EEV has come up with a computerized video system that can do it all automatically.They suggest that all number plates have a bar code as well as the usual number. The bar codes are just strips of lines like those you see on food packets but bigger. EEV"s high speed video camera system can read a bar-coded number plate even if the car is doing over 100 miles per hour. The computer controlling the system could then use the information from the bar code to find out the name and address of the driver (from vehicle records), print out the fine and send it off automatically. The inventors also suggest that the system could watch traffic to help catch stolen cars.The new electronic system could be watching everyone that passes the cameras. Many people find the idea that "big brother is watching you" is more of a worry than a few motorists getting away with driving too fast. Moreover, some people will be very unhappy to realize that with new system the police could find out where a particular car has been. The best title for the article can be ______.
A. EEV and the Police System
B. People Who Drive Too Fast
C. A New Computerized System for Motoring Breaking Laws.
D. Stop People from Driving Too Fast
