11、 the churches that helped him in Egypt, so he came to speak on Sunday night at my grandfather's small church in Chicago. “But most of all,” he said, “I must thank you for the glasses you sent last year. You see, I had just broken my glasses. Then your boxes arrived. To my surprise, I found a pai

12、r of glasses in it and it fit me very well!”The people listened, happy for the amazing glasses, but thought that the man must have confused their church with another.

15、 not interested in the directors speechBAfter a particularly busy period at work, I decided to get away from it all by going on a hike in the mountains in southern France. Before I left, I read an interesting story in a magazine. It read, “Once, while I was riding on a crowded bus, the man sitting n

16、ext to me threw his cell phone out of the window when his phone rang. I was surprised. He looked at me, shrugged (聳聳肩) and looked away. I had no idea whether it was his or stolen or whether he even knew what a cell phone was or not, but he clearly wanted to be free of it, because it clearly troubled

17、 him. ”Billions of people across the world use cell phones. Though cell phones are a wonderful way for communication, they often do the exact opposite. Using cell phones can increase stress within families and friends. So when I recently returned home, I got rid of my cell phone. Now I go outside wi

18、thout taking my phone with me. Ive noticed things in my neighborhood I never noticed before, such as gardens. Ive met new people, started conversations with neighbors I didnt speak to before and talked with some of my friends face to face instead of chatting over the phone. Instead of keeping me off

In the books of J.R.R. Tolkein, Bilbo Baggins finds a ring that can make him disappear. Of course, theres also po

23、or Harry Potter, who used his invisibility cloak (隱形斗篷) to hide from danger. Now that youve got some ideas, its time for the hard part: building the cloak. To do that, you have to give up science fiction and turn to real science. An invisibility cloak has to cheat anything or anyone who might be wat

24、ching. In order to understand how something can be seen, its important to understand how we see. Human beings can only see objects that reflect (反射) light waves. These waves enter the eye and are then processed by the brain. However, if an object doesnt reflect light, then the waves dont enter the e

25、ye, and the brain doesnt process. So building an invisibility cloak is building something that doesnt reflect light. Cummer was part of a team of scientists from Duke University, including David Smith and David Schurig, who built the worlds first version (版本) of an invisibility cloak. They had been

26、inspired by the work of a British physicist, John Pendry. He in May said that an invisibility cloak was possible and Pendry was not the only one thinking about a disappearing act. At the same time, a Scottish physicist, UIf Leonhardt published a paper on building invisibility equipment. “It wasnt ea

27、sy,” says Cummer. “As often happens in science and research, it didnt work very well the first time.

34、ld the children do? First, hear out all the plans that your parents have made for you. If you have some different ideas, then sit down and talk to your family about it.
