26、A new keyboard can tell whether you are its owner. The keyboard records information about the typing pattern and sends it to a computer program. The program then checks to see if the pattern matches the right user. If not, an alarm sounds, and the computer locks the typist out. It locks out anyone else, even if the person knows password. What’s more, this device needs no batteries. It harvests all the energy it needs from the action of your typing. Besides, the keyboard is also self-cleaning and the keys are free of damage from water, oil and dirt.
The keys of the new keyboard are made of the same inexpensive plastic that might be found on any other standard keyboard. But instead of being smooth, the keys have millions of tiny plastic nanowires (纳米线) on their surface area to every key, increasing the effective contact area between the plastics and fingers. This ensures that there’s enough power to run the keyboard as someone types.
Liming Dai, a scientist, did not work on the new keyboard, but he thinks the design could be important in getting better performance from a variety of devices. “It could also be applied to a touch screen, for instance,” Dai says. “Then smart phones and notepads could harvest energy from the action of someone typing or drawing.”
“Future work might make the keyboard even more useful,” Dai adds. “A later design might build tiny capacitors(电容器) onto the nanowires,” he suggests. Capacitors are little devices that temporarily store electric charges. Those might then LEDs to light a Keyboard in the dark.
Zhonglin Wang is a co-designer of the new keyboard. His team has build a working model of the keyboard. “If a company decides to fund(投资) its production, this keyboard could be in stores in as little as two years,” says Wang.
【1】【1】How does the new keyboard tell whether you are its owner?
A. By matching the typing pattern to the right user.
B. By sending alarms to a computer program.
C. By checking the right user’s passwords.
D. By recording information about the typing pattern.
【2】【2】What’s Dai’s attitude to the new keyboard?
A. Unconcerned. B. Doubtful.
C. Positive. D. Critical.
【3】【3】What is the best title for the text?
A. A New Keyboard Made of Nanowires
B. A New Keyboard Entirely Owned by you
C. A New Keyboard’s Future
D. A New Keyboard Powered by Typing

29、When I was 13, my bedroom walls were covered with posters of the Monkees and Beatles. I wrote fan letters and daydreamed about meeting the objects of my affections. I begged my parents to attend every rock concert and watch every TV show featuring my favorite celebrities (名人) ; my friends and I discussed for hours all the things we would say and do when we met our favorite movie stars and pop singers. I drove my mother crazy! But after a few years, my obsession (迷恋) stars faded as I matured and gained the confidence to socialize with "real" boys.
In the 35 years since I was a teenager, celebrity worship (崇拜) has increased among teens due to the explosion of television celebrity gossip shows, and instant access to celebrity news on the Internet. It's no wonder that many teens are obsessed with stars when news programs often are filled with entertainment stories and the lives of celebrities.
Celebrity worship syndrome (综合征) is now considered a personality disorder. While it is normal for teenagers to follow the lives of their favorite stars, parents should try to monitor everything their child finds interesting. Parents should take action if they suspect a teen is too obsessed with celebrities and showing little interest in school or withdrawing from the family. When teens talk a lot about celebrities and view them as just means of entertainment, this is considered normal celebrity worship. However, when a teenager is obsessed with a star and often expresses a desire to have a close personal relationship with a celebrity or feels they have a special connection to a star, this may be the time for concern.
Recent studies have shown that teens who develop an unhealthy obsession with celebrities often suffer from low self confidence and depression. Teens who are overly obsessed with stars often have damaged relationships with their parents.
【1】We learn from the second paragraph that ____.
A. teens today are not so obsessed with celebrities
B. the author is surprised at celebrity worship
C. the media greatly contributes to celebrity worship today
D. celebrities expose their lives too much
【2】Parents should become concerned when their children ____.
A. talk a lot about celebrities with others
B. put up celebrity posters in their bedrooms
C. ask to go to their favorite star's concert
D. desire a close personal relationship with their favorite star
【3】The last paragraph implies that ____.
A. parents should not care too much about a child's celebrity worship
B. children can normally get out of celebrity worship when they are older
C. children with celebrity worship usually have high opinion of themselves
D. celebrity worship syndrome can be a serious problem if left overlooked
【4】What is most likely to be talked about in the paragraph following the passage?
A. The harm of celebrity worship syndrome.
B. What to do with children's celebrity worship syndrome.
C. More signs of celebrity worship syndrome.
D. Who will suffer most from celebrity worship syndrome.
