21、This is Voice of America. It is February 13, 2016, and our traditional Valentine's Day will fall tomorrow. Some famous movies about love stories will be on show at Emperor Theater on February 14. Book online (www.emperortheater.com) now for the following movies you can watch them at half prices.
Movies | Contents |
Ghost | Before Sam (Patrick Swayze) is murdered in a robbery, he tells his fiancée Molly (Demi Moore) he'll love and protect her forever. His love enables him to remain on earth as a ghost and communicate with Molly through a spiritualist(巫师). This movie will make you and your partner get close and embrace each other as you realize how precious life is. |
Love Story | The film lets you know exactly what you're in for. Oliver (Ryan O'Neal) and Jennifer (Ali MacGraw) are students in famous universities. They're an unlikely couple who can't stop arguing. Oliver is a wealthy athlete and Jennifer a free－spirited music student. Despite everything, love makes them stay together. If your own relationship is rocky, the movie's famous line will strike a chord(引起共鸣). Love means never having to say you're sorry. |
When Harry Met Sally | Does sex make it impossible for men and women to be true friends? This comedy features this dilemma(两难选择). Having just graduated from university, Sally (Meg Ryan) catches a ride with Harry (Billy Crystal) to New York City where they both are moving. Over 13 years, they keep running into each other, but the two stubbornly resist dating. Eventually they realize that they were just meant for each other. Platonic (柏拉图式的) friendships are hard to manage, and this movie hits the problem on the head. |

22、 There it was. A test of will power. I was on a special diet with foods carefully selected for balanced nutrition and caloric value. A piece of cheese cake was not a good choice. So here was my dilemma: Should I not eat the cheese cake, feel dissatisfied and take out my disappointment on the annoyingly skinny physical instructor at the gym? Or should I eat the cheese cake and work off the calories?
The latter seemed like a win-win solution. Not only would I get to enjoy the cheese cake, but I’d get an exercise session (训练时段). And then it hit me: a delicate plan to use my cheese cake as an exercise incentive. I plated a thin slice of cheese cake and carefully walked it up the stairs and set it on my bedside table with a small fork. I put on my exercise outfit (全套服装) and went downstairs.
The appeal of the cheese cake got stronger so I launched my plan: I would run up and down the stairs and then back up again. My reward: one small bite of cheese cake. If I wanted another, I’d have to run down and up and down and up again. Off I went. Ah, creamy vanilla (香草) goodness without guilt. I wanted another bite so I quickly sprinted (冲刺) through another stair climbing run.
Admittedly, it was harder to enjoy the creaminess of the cheese cake when my tongue was dry from over-breathing. I placed a bottle of water next to the cake. Down and up and down and up again. When I struggled over to the cheese cake, my hand bypassed the plate and went for the water instead. I didn’t want the cake any more. I wanted all this sweat and effort to do more than cancel the calories from cheese cake. I was exhausted and sure the cheese cake tasted fine but just not good enough to make me run up and down the stairs one more time.
My plan worked. Now, any time I felt tempted to enjoy a former favorite, I remembered my stairs trick.

23、Every machine and power station, even renewable energy like wind and solar, creates waste heat that is simply lost in the atmosphere. Thankfully, scientists and engineers are devoted to collecting heat and transforming it into useful electricity. Now researchers at Penn State University have created a flexible thermoelectrie (热电的)generator that wraps around hot water or exhaust(排气)pipes, turning heat into electricity.
Flexible devices are more efficient because they attach to pipes in factories or on vehicles without having to be glued on like rigid devices.Then the thermoelectric materials turn temperature differences between the surface fixed to the pipe and the cooler outer surface into electric current -called the Seebeck effect
Thermophotovoltaic(热光伏的)devices are another promising way to use this waste heat. University of Michigan engineers have created a precisely machined thermophotovoltaic cell that could be used to generate electricity from extra renewable power. The cells would use heat and turn it into electricity on demand, in a form that is much cheaper than batteries, say its creators.
One of the factors crucial to any device’s thermoelectric efficiency is its material. If higher electrical energy can be created with smaller temperature differences, then the materials are said to have a high ZT value. Using a special material scientists have doubled the previous best. The random distribution of atoms in their material slows down the way heat passes through it, making the thermoelectric effect last longer, able to power sensors and small computer processors. Low temperature generation includes computers and cars, making pyroelectrics(热电体)particularly useful for squeezing more energy out of electronic systems.
Another relative advantage is inexpensive materials. More abundant elements like tin is cheap and abundant, with high ZTvalues when combined in the right way. Their use could lead to greener car engines.
And when it comes to personal electronics, thermoelectries could eventually beat traditional charging hardware. Chinese researchers have built a wristband that gathers body heat to power a LED and may be able to power smartwatches or other mobile devices in the future.
【1】What is the thermoelectric generator used for?
A．Reducing the air pollution.
B．Introducing an ecological energy.
C．Controlling the exhaust emission.
D．Converting waste heat into electrical energy
【2】Why does the author mention the Seebeck effect in paragraph 2?
A．To illustrate a point.
B．To clarify a concept.
C．To show a connection
D．To make a comparison.
【3】What factor determines any device’s thermoelectric efficiency?
A．Its high ZT value.
B．Its renewable power.
C．Its temperature.
D．Its electronic systems.
【4】Which potential application of thermoelectric technology is mentioned?
A．To reduce waste heat.
B．To make LED.
C．To charge smartwatches.
D．To start vehicles
24、About 20 years ago Nissan introduced the world's first "talking car". Actually, it was just a recorded voice that would tell you that your door was open, and would continue talking to you until you closed it. Of course, it never caught on.
Times have changed and the talking car of the near future is a car that you talk to, rather than a car that talks to you. You'll be able to control your radio by giving voice orders, get traffic reports and directions, and send and receive e﹣mails. To do this, you needn't push a button at all.
This is good news for those who spend more and more of their lives in their cars. In fact, the new type of cars will be more like offices on wheels, with computers, wireless Internet access, and satellite radio inside. Companies are hoping that time wasted in traffic could be put to better use. If workers are able to check their e﹣mails, faxes, and meeting time on the way to work, they can spend more time at the office doing more important tasks.
Microsoft, of course, is hoping that every one of those mobile offices will use Windows. "It's a great goal. " says Dick Brass, VP of Microsoft's automotive division, "But we'd like to have one of our operating systems in every car on earth. " There are already 650 million cars in the world, and every year about 50 million new cars roll off the production lines. If Brass' wish came true, cars could become a bigger business for Microsoft than computers.
【1】Which is TRUE about the world's first "talking car"?
A．Nissan invented it.
B．It was introduced in the late 20th century.
C．It could record voices.
D．It could not only record but also talk itself.
【2】The radio of the new talking car can be operated by receiving _______.
A．traffic reports
B．voice orders
C．light signals
D．electricity energy
【3】Companies may be happy with new type of cars because _______ .
A．much time will be wasted in traffic
B．their workers will get to the office earlier
C．their workers will have more time to do more important work
D．their workers will check e﹣mails, faxes, and meeting time at home
【4】The underlined phrase "caught on" in the first paragraph probably means"_______".
A．turned on
B．took off
C．become popular
D．was colourful
【5】We can learn from the passage that .
A．all of the mobile offices will use Windows
B．about 50 million new cars are produced every year
C．the new type of talking car has a recorded voice inside
D．the talking car of the near future is a car that talks to you
