21、What if your smartphone or laptop starts charging as soon as you walk in the door? Scientists have developed a specially-built room that can conduct energy to a variety of electronic devices within it without plugs or batteries.
It’s a custom test room of about 18 cubic meters, built from conductive aluminum(铝) panels with a metal pole running down the middle. When the scientists ran an electric current through the walls and pole following a set pattern, it generated two separate magnetic (磁的) fields: one that fills the center of the room and the other that covers the corners, thus allowing any devices within the space to charge.
By carrying out tests, scientists found their method could deliver 50 watts of power throughout the room. firing up all devices they tested. Without safeguards, running currents through the room's metal walls would typically fill it with two types of waves: electric and magnetic. This presents a problem, because electric fields can produce heat in biological tissues and pose a danger to humans. So the team built capacitors, devices that store electric energy, in the walls. “It limits the safe magnetic fields to the room volume while limiting risky parts to all the components built in the walls.” lead author Takuya Sasatani explains.
The scientists also tested the room’s safety, and the result showed the absorption of energy would remain well below acceptable limits. “We’re not saying this technology is safe under all circumstances—we’re still exploring,” says study co-author Alanson Sample. “But it shows us that there's still much area to explore.”
But applying the technology is still far in the future. It’s just too burdensome to put aluminum sheets all over the walls-that benefit doesn't make sense yet. “We’ve just developed a brand-new technique. Now we have to figure out how to make it practical,” Sample says. Meanwhile, scientists hope to improve the efficiency of power conduction and remove spots that the charge does not reach.
【1】What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A.What the room looks like.
B.How electric currents are generated.
C.How the special room works.
D.What the technology was developed for.
【2】What are the capacitors used to do?
A.Produce electric power.
B.Measure magnetic field.
C.Stop devices from heating.
D.Protect people from harm.
【3】What is Sample’s attitude to the technology?
A.Optimistic.
B.Cautious.
C.Doubtful.
D.Content.
【4】What’s a barrier to the technology's application?
A.The cost.
B.The safety.
C.The effectiveness.
D.The material.

24、 I work in downtown Orlando and have been passing by the same homeless woman every week. She never asks me for money, but always greets me with a smile.
I wrote in a Facebook post ,“Each Tuesday, Amy simply said ‘Good morning, Sir, have a great day.’ and smiled. I wear a suit to work every day, so I get asked for money quite often in downtown but never once from Amy Joe.” Every Tuesday , Amy and I have lunch together, during which I get to hear how positive she is even though she really has nothing. Last week, Amy dropped a bomb on me — she couldn't read. She told me how hard it was for her to find work not being able to read. She began to use her collected money to check out library books instead of buying food. This crushed me!
I have been blessed with a family that has provided me with everything that I want to do. Amy Joe has not. So I start to teach her to read. I rent one library book a week and we read it together on Tuesday, and she practices on her own throughout the rest of the week.
This post is in no way to make anyone feel sorry for Amy or show off my something good. I want to share this because there are a lot of people like Amy Joe — not all are hungry, homeless or hurt. Helping someone could be as easy as saying hello and smiling.
I also started a web page for Amy and have raised $5, 000. The donation will go to food, clothing, a library card, and much more to help the less fortunate in the downtown Orlando area.
【1】Unlike other homeless people , Amy______.
A.can’t read or write. B.finds it hard to find a job.
C.says hello to the author every day. D.uses her collected money to borrow books from library.
【2】How does the author help Amy?
A.By renting books to read with her. B.By buying library cards for her.
C.By teaching her to write books online. D.By buying food for her and her family.
【3】The author expects his post to______.
A.raise more money for Amy B.make others feel sorry for Amy
C.call on others to do good deeds D.make him popular on the Internet
【4】What can be the best title for the text?
A.Helping Others Makes Us Happy B.Donate What You Have to the Homeless
C.Teach a Homeless Woman to Read D.Facebook Is a Useful Tool for the Homeless
