［1］Scientists in the United States are working on a technology that uses human energy to power devices like cell phones, laptop computers, and GPS systems.

[2]Tom Krupenkin, who teaches electrical engineering at the University of Wisconsin and his team want to reduce dependence on costly and polluting batteries. Instead of using batteries for power, they have turned to human beings and have placed a device in a shoe that collects and stores energy from human motion and turns it into electricity. One part of this device is an energy harvester. It has two small containers filled with thousands of very small drops of liquid. These droplets get pushed back and forth as a person walks and can directly convert it into electric power. Output of this energy is stored in a regular rechargeable tiny battery of the style that we have in cell phones.

[3]The team has also developed a system to permit use of the stored energy by common mobile devices. It does not require connections with wires, and can be used to create a wireless signal. A cell phone that uses the wireless “hotspot” from the shoe would use much less power if a wireless telephone network. The devices are about the size of a credit card. Professor Krupenkin says the system is always powered. So unlike a traditional battery, this energy harvester never needs to be recharged.

[4]The professor says he does not expect this invention to replace traditional batteries. But it will help reduce dependence on them. He says there are a huge number of possible uses for this technology. Professor Krupenkin thinks the technology would be useful for people in rural areas where there is no electrical power.

[5]He stresses that it makes a lot of sense for people who depend on devices like mobile phones and laptop computers. And he says the technology could be used by soldiers who must carry battery – powered electronic devices into difficult territory(地区).

76. What does the author mainly introduce to us in the text?(no more than 10 words)

77. Fill in the blank in paragraph 3 with proper words or phrases.(no more than 5 words)

78. Why doesn't the energy harvester need to be recharged?(no more than 5 words) .

79. What does Tom Krupenkin expect this invention to do?(no more than 10 words) .

80. Translate the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 into Chinese.

[1]An 18-year-old student was struggling to pay his fees. He was an orphan, and not knowing where to turn for money, he came up with a bright idea. He and a friend decided to host a musical concert on campus to raise money for their education.
[2]They reached out to the great pianist Ignacy J. Paderewski. His manager demanded a guaranteed fee of $2000 for the piano recital. A deal was struck and the boys began to work to make the concert a success.
[3]The big day arrived. But unfortunately, they had not managed to sell enough tickets. The total collection was only $1600. Disappointed, they went to Paderewski and explained their plight(困境). They gave him the entire $1600, plus a cheque for the balance(差额) $400. They promised to pay the cheque at the soonest possible.
[4]“No,” said Paderewski. “This is not acceptable.” He tore up the cheque, returned the $1600 and told the two boys: “Here’s the $1600. Please deduct（扣除）whatever expenses you have spent on. Keep the money you need for your fees. And just give me whatever is left”. The boys were surprised, and thanked him a lot.
[5]It was a small act of kindness. But it clearly marked out Paderewski as a great human being.
[6]Why should he help two people he did not even know? We all come across situations like these in our lives. And most of us only think “If I help them, what would happen to me?” The truly great people think, “If I don’t help them, what will happen to them?” They don’t do it expecting something in return. They do it because they feel it’s the right thing to do.
[7]Paderewski later went on to become the Prime Minister of Poland. He was regarded as a great leader in Poland’s history.

[1]You are about to become a college freshman. You enter a college expecting to leave with a degree.
The following are tips on how to get the most out of your college education.
Time Management
[2] "Man is first a social animal, then a rational one." So you may find it hard to say "No" each time your
roommate wants to see a movie when you need to read Paradise Lost(《失乐园》).
[3]Think about what you want from college and from friends. Study after breakfast, between classes,
whatever works best for you. Don't cut off all social contacts, which are as vital to surviving in college as
reading. Study Hegel(黑格尔)first, then catch a late movie.
Study Method
[4]Would you take a trip by _____ instead of reading a map? Of course not. Studying in college demands more independence than in high school, survey the material first to get a sense of it; ask some questions;
write down key ideas; tell yourself the essence of what you've read and review it.
Keeping up
[5]Professors may not notice whether you attend a large lecture, but you could notice later on. Some
professors use lectures to discuss material not found in the reading on which they will base an exam.
Others stress key points. Skip at your own risk. If you must miss a lecture, get the notes in time. If too
much time elapse (逝去), the notes will make no sense. Never fall more than a week behind in reading
the notes. If you don't do the reading, you won't understand the lecture.

     [1]Sending text messages from your mobile phone while driving is more dangerous than driving after
drinking, which is found by the Transport Research Laboratory (TRL).
     [2]The reaction time of people who sent text messages as they drove slowed by 35%, while the reaction
time of those who had drunk alcohol slowed by 12%."This research shows how dangerous it is to text while
driving," researcher Nick Reed said in a statement. He said drivers who texted were distracted by trying to read
small texts on the phone and by thinking about how to write their messages. And using the phone requires them
to put their hands off the wheel. The combination of factors caused the slowness of reaction and the impairment (减弱) of vehicle control.
     [3]One conclusion researchers made about why texting while driving is so dangerous is the length of time it
takes to write a message. The TRL said that writing a text message behind the wheel took 63 seconds, in which a car travels nearly a mile within town centre speed limits and over a mile within motorway speed limits.
     [4]Nearly half of the 18-to 24-year-olds admitted texting as they drove, another survey discovered.
     [5]The TRL study selected 17 people from the 18-to 24-year-old age group to take part in a simulated (模拟的) road test, in which they were on a variety of roads."The participants in this study were almost unanimous (一致同意的) in their view that texting while driving was the most dangerous action on the road," RAC Director Stephen Glaister said.
     [6] "We need to ensure that drivers who love texting understand that texting is one of the most dangerous
things that can be done while in charge of a car," Glaister said in a statement.

1. What's the main idea of the passage? (no more than 10 words)
____________________________________________________________________________________
2. Give two factors which caused the slowness of reaction of a driver while texting. (no more than 20 words) ① . ________________________________________________________________________________

3. Complete the following statement with proper words. (no more than 4 words)

______________________________________________________________________________________.
4. What does the underlined word "which" in Paragraph 3 probably refer to? (no more than 2 words)
