Time

magazine listed its top inventions of 2019, some of which will surely become a big part of our

everyday lives over the next decade . Here are some we're most looking forward to.

■Virtual

（虚拟的）

surgery

According to

Harvard Business Review,

our current system of training surgeons can't keep up with the

speed of technological development.

“

Even after 4 years of college, 4 years of medical school and 5 years of

advanced training after working, 30%

of graduates still can't operate on their own,” said Justin Barad, who is

the

CEO and co

—

founder of Osso VR.

This VR software is made to give doctors virtual operating-room experience so they can practice and

prepare for surgeries. Apparently, it works. Gideon Blumstein of California University conducted a study on

using Osso VR. His team found that participants' overall surgical performance improved by an astonishing

230% over traditional training methods.

■ Vending veggies

（出售素食）

to bring fresh, healthy food to people on the go.

It's trying to change more than just food, though. It also wants to change the delivery method. Farmers

Fridge

has

created

its

very

own

automatic

machines.

They

can

be

placed

in

high-traffic

areas.

These

super-smart vending machines can know their contents at any moment, and can allow customers to reserve

and pay in advance. They can even learn about what customers want. Shayna Harris is the company's Chief

Growth Officer.

“We

have developed salads, sandwiches and breakfast items that taste as fresh as if you were

to make them in your home ki

tchen,”

she said in an interview with

Insider Trends.

■ Recycling pollution

When we write with black ink, we're writing with soot

—

a powder made by burning coal or oil. Cars

are machines that produce soot. To collect the soot, Anirudh Sharma, creator of AIR-INK, made a device

called Kaalink, which attaches to a vehicle’s exhaust pipe

（

排气管）

.Once collected, it's made into ink color

and mixed with vegetable oil to create inks, markers and paints with the brand AIR-INK.

“I

don't know if it's pollution, but the

quality of the ink is really special,”

said artist Kristopher Ho. “It's

black, really thick and dries extremely quickly.”

The

Guardian

describes

AIR-

INK

as

green”.

Each

30

-milliliter

pen

contains

between

40

—

50 minutes of air pollution, while each 6-liter spray can hold 2,000 minutes of diesel exhaust

（柴油废

气）

. In the past year, Sharma said, his team has cleaned nearly 1.7 trillion

（万亿）

liters of air in India and

Hong Kong.

B

When I heard that Vitaminwater is giving away $$100,000 in a contest where the winner has to give up

their cellphone for a year in favor of a 1996-era app-free version, my immediate thought was: I could never

do that. Even a day would be very difficult for me. I admit that I'm addicted to my iPhone.

I sleep with it under my pillow. It's the first thing I reach for in the morning. I've never counted how

many times I pick it up during the day, but it's at least several per hour, and often I can't go 5 minutes without

looking at it.

What am I doing on my phone? Everything, it feels like

：

making to-do lists, searching for random

information, checking e-mails and so on. I've also become attached to social media because somehow it's

become vital that I know exactly what my childhood best friend’s cousin is doing.

I know the importance of communication in theory. But in practice, I've been scolded more times than I

can count by my boyfriend,

love your phone more than me.” I feel anxious when my phone isn't easily

within reach, like life is happening without me. My already high general level of anxiety increases if I don't

feel as informed as I can possibly be. I'm tricked by my phone’s simpli

city. I'll just look at it while I'm in the

bathroom or waiting in line at a store. Those few minutes that seem harmless enough likely represent the

whole days’ worth of time when I could have been reading books or simply letting my mind relax.

The possibility of going even a day without my smartphone fills me with fear. And yet it upsets me that

I've become completely dependent on this technological advancement.

So, on second thoughts, I'm going to enter the contest. And even if I don't win, I promise to limit my

phone usage to 15 minutes a day in May, for a start. So this May, I'm going conservative. I hope I remember

how.

25. How did the author react when hearing about the contest?

A.

She declared it would be meaningless.

B.

She decided to participate in it eagerly.

C.

She thought it would be a challenge for her.

D. She was quite confident of winning a great prize.

26. What is the result of the author's frequent use of her cellphone?

A.

It gets her dependent on her cellphone.

B.

It makes her do shopping online easily.

C. It helps her keep in touch with her friends.

D.

It gives her an easy way to get information.

27. What can be the best tide for the passage?

A. Getting Addicted To Cellphone

B. Entering Cellphone-free Contest

C.

Bringing Cellphone Under Control

D.

Laying Down Cellphone For Contest

C

Every morning I walk outside and bring in the morning newspaper. There was a time when every

house on both sides of the street had a newspaper in the driveway. There was also a time when every house

had a landline telephone, but not anymore. Not for a long time.

My husband is less willing to accept the downward trend of print-edition newspapers, as he has worked

in newspapers since the age of 16. Even before that, he was what you would call an

“independent

publis

her”.

Recently, we were at a Chicago park with our grandchildren. My husband had a newspaper folded under

his arm. He sat down and put the paper on the bench beside him. A young girl walked over, looked at the

newspaper, picked it up and asked,

I thought he was going to fall over. The color faded from his face. His eyes rolled back in his head and

his legs were giving out.

I rolled up his paper and waved it under his nose. The smells from the ink woke him

up.

Some people simply love paper

―

the feel, the portability, and the pleasure of piling them higher and

higher

until

their

wife

cries,

“Enough

!

My

husband

was

happy

when

he

spent

time

with

our

youngest

daughter and her husband. When they lived with us, they raced to pull the crossword puzzle from the paper

every day. It's hard to do a crossword online. Pencil doesn't come off a computer screen as easily as you might

think.

Now my husband will be very excited that I have found further proof that there may still be hope for

the survival of print. I was chatting with a young mother who subscribes to the daily newspaper. I asked why

she did something so conservatively. She looked shocked.
