22、My 12-year-old niece, Lily, was staying with us for a couple of days. She was remembering some acts of kindness that we did together when she was less than five years old. We talked about how so much has changed, and with the pandemic, how it would be difficult to do so many of those things, especially when it comes to strangers.
The next day, I needed something from the downtown area and happened to take her with me. As we walked around on the street, we heard a beautiful male voice singing a very soulful song. We turned around to see this middle-aged man sitting on a street corner with his guitar. A couple were sitting on a bench nearby and listening to his music.
After getting a few errands (差事) done, we happened to sit at an outdoor dining restaurant across from him on the other side of the street. Lily is learning how to sing herself, and she kept smiling and saying how wonderful his singing was. Seeing how moved she was with his music, at the end of our meal, I gave her a ten-dollar bill and asked her to walk across the street and put it in his bowl.
She was a little surprised, “Really?” she said with bright eyes. She headed over and as she approached, the man was just finishing a song and started talking to her, and they ended up having a sweet conversation. Lily told him how touched she was with his music, and he ended up telling her that she made his day. As Lily was excitedly narrating (讲述) the conversation back to me, she mentioned, “ He didn’t even know how much it was. He just appreciated that someone was enjoying his music. ”

23、Let Moments Inspire You
When I was a teenager I volunteered to work at the water station at a 10,000m race. My job was to hand out water to the runners. I remember being so excited to see all the different kinds of people who passed by and grabbed a cup of water. I saw so many types of people doing it. I thought maybe I could do it too! So the next year I signed up for the race.
That first 10,000m race was quite an experience. At times, I didn’t know if I could finish. Then came a defining moment. At one point near the end, a 70-year-old ran past me, very fast and I felt embarrassed that I was 50 years younger than he and I couldn’t even keep up with him. I felt defeated for a second. But then I realized something. He was running his race and I was running mine. He had different abilities, experience, training and goals for himself. I had mine. Remember my goal was only to finish. After a minute, it hit me that this was a lesson I could draw from. I learned something about myself in that moment. I turned my embarrassment into inspiration. I decided that I would not give up on running races. In fact, I would run even more races and I would learn how to train and prepare properly and one day I would be one of those 70-year-olds who was still running. As I crossed the finish line, I was proud of my accomplishment.
In life we all have those moments when we compare ourselves to others. It’s natural. Don’t allow those moments to weaken you. Turn them into motivation and let them inspire you. Use them to show you what is possible. With a proper preparation and training, you can improve your results to achieve anything you want in life.

24、Researchers from Sejong University in South Korea have created a new laser (激光) charging system that can transmit power using infrared (红外线的) light over up to 30 meters (98.4 feet), offering a safe alternative to corded charging for mobile devices and powering the Internet devices spread throughout an area. The system could deliver 400 milliwatts of power across this distance, enough to charge sensors but not quite enough to charge mobile devices yet.
Wireless power transmission has been achieved over greater distances, but transmitting power safely across meter-scale distances has brought challenges. The researchers overcame this with a technique known as distributed laser -charging, separating the laser’s transmitter and receiver, creating a laser cavity (腔) between them through which light-based power can be transmitted. While most other approaches require the receiving device to be in a special charging place or to be stationary, distributed laser charging enables self-alignment without tracking processes as long as the transmitter and receiver are in the line of sight of each other.
When a device interrupts the line of sight, the system automatically changes to a power-safe mode that allows it to deliver power wirelessly and safely. It also automatically shifts to a safe low power delivery mode if an object or a person blocks the line of sight.
“The ability to power devices wirelessly could eliminate the need to carry around power cables for our phones or tablets. Using the laser charging system to replace power cords in factories could save on maintenance and replacement costs. This could be particularly useful in rough environments where electrical connections can cause interference or pose a fire risk,” said research team leader Jinyong Ha.
【1】What can we learn from the text?
A.The system can transmit power over 40 meters.
B.This is the first successful wireless power transmission.
C.The system could deliver enough power to charge mobiles.
D.The system can function when the transmitter and receiver are in sight of each other.
【2】What will happen if a person blocks the line of sight?
A.It will stop charging.
B.It will charge in another mode.
C.It will bring harm to the person.
D.It will need a wire to continue charging.
【3】What do Jinyong Ha’s words stress in the last paragraph?
A.The advantages of the new technology.
B.The shortcomings of the new technology.
C.The bright future of the new technology.
D.The working principle of the new technology.
【4】Where is the text most likely from?
